I’m Just an Ordinary Human

---

Tokyo Skytree.

Boasting a height that easily exceeds 600m, it is the second-largest building in the world and a structure famous as a landmark of Tokyo.

At the observation deck at the very top of Skytree, a figure was gazing at the panoramic view of Tokyo with a smile.

“Hehehe, what a lovely view.”

[Clown]

He was genuinely impressed.

The lights of the city that lit up the dark night had all gone out, leaving just a pitch-black landscape.

Though it lacked the beauty of the past, wasn’t there something far more beautiful covering the world than artificial light?

A realm overflowing with all manner of evil spirits and gods since ancient times.

The very center.

Fear, terror, awe, and fanaticism endlessly surge up from all directions, birthing youkai and deities in an unending cycle.

Indeed, it was a gathering of a hundred evil spirits.

Since that day when [Abnormality] flooded the land, Japan has truly transformed into a paradise of [Abnormality].

The darkness in the sky that the [Clown] was gazing at began to clear.

As the dark night sky brightened, light began to pour down.

It was like the beautiful manifestation of the sun!

An unending accumulation of faith and reverence was on the verge of breaking the [God’s Egg] to manifest a truly omnipotent [God]!

As one who is intoxicated by [Art], how could he not marvel at such beauty?

The enormous sphere of light that brightened the darkness began to open.

It was being born.

Very soon…!

Fwoooosh—

“Huh?”

As the sun sphere that was slowly opening in celebration of the [God]’s birth exploded into pieces, shards scattered down to the ground.

Each fragment that fell became a calamity, birthing all sorts of monsters as they spread in all directions, but that was not the concern of the [Clown].

He wasn’t here just to see such lowly monsters.

Why?

Why did the [God’s Egg], which was supposed to create the birth of an omnipotent [God], burst like a water balloon just before its birth?

At that moment, something began to swiftly approach the [Clown] from the spot where the sun had exploded.

The sun’s light faded, and as dark night returned, it was hard to discern, but…

“Is that a person?”

When the figure finally came into view.

The [Clown] was genuinely taken aback.

“I found you.”

“Han Yu-seong?!”

What was he, the one in Korea, doing here…?!

More importantly, how?!

The [Clown]’s thoughts didn’t have time to extend further.

Like soaring through the sky, Han Yu-seong fell onto the observation deck of Skytree.

The shock caused the midsection of Skytree to break and it began to collapse…

“First try.”

“What the…!”

Han Yu-seong’s hand seized the [Clown]’s head.

“Are you the main body?”

Crack—

Squelch—

Snap—

Boom-!

With a twist of the head, the [Clown]’s head and spine were yanked out from his body.

As the second-largest building in the world fell and crumbled over Tokyo, the [Clown]’s consciousness sank into the abyss.

*

“What the hell!”

Becoming aware of what happened in Tokyo, the [Clown] rubbed his neck.

He had experienced several deaths, but this was certainly among the most horrific.

He gasped for air, shock overwhelming him as memories rushed back.

The sensation of being alive while having his neck and spine pulled out.

Even though it was a different body, he felt goosebumps and his limbs trembled.

“What is happening…?”

How could that monster be in Japan?

The [Clown] didn’t just retreat without reason; he didn’t touch the [Streamer].

He was merely trying to secure a foothold in Korea to prevent the [Streamer] from becoming the hands and feet of that monster.

It had only been less than two weeks since that day.

There’s no way they’d be able to move yet, right?

No, that aside…

How did they even get to Japan?

Given that all flights and shipping routes were blocked, how was it even possible?

“No, this isn’t the time to be pondering that.”

The place this body occupied was also Japan.

Kyoto, Japan.

At Nijo Castle, which had witnessed the rise and fall of Japan’s greatest clown, Tokugawa.

He had been residing here to gather faith, but now, knowing the monster was in Japan, he felt uneasy.

“The gathered faith… if I leave like this, I’ll incur some losses.”

Regrettable but unavoidable.

Still, it was better to recover some faith than to lose his body without even collecting it.

“[Possession]…”

Boom!

“Ugh!”

The ground shook.

An earthquake?!

No, that’s not it.

Boom—

Kaboom—

Bang-!

The immense noise continued to reverberate.

Could it be?!

It hadn’t even been 30 minutes since the body in Tokyo died?!

Kaboom—

At that moment, the wall next to the [Clown] burst open, revealing Han Yu-seong, wearing a smile that seemed to jump right out of a nightmare.

“[Pos-… Gag!”

Just as he hurried to解除 his [Possession], Han Yu-seong’s hand gripped the [Clown]’s chin and crushed his jaw, tearing it off completely.

In the instant that pain made him dizzy, drowning out his senses…

“What? Another failure?”

As Han Yu-seong’s words echoed, a fist slammed into the [Clown]’s face.

Shatter—

“Second try.”

With the sensation of something breaking, the [Clown]’s consciousness sank once more.

*

There were many locations the [Detector] found for the [Clown].

In fact, there were so many.

“Is this all the [Clown]?”

On the world map laid out before him, there were numerous red dots marked here and there.

It was easy to count at least a hundred; one couldn’t help but frown.

“It seems that the bodies in [Possession] are also treated as [Clown]. It’s impossible to identify the main body.”

Despite that, there were just too many!

“Well, it’s still fine.”

Regardless, it meant that among these, there was a main body.

If he took out a few at a time, one would surely be the jackpot.

“… But is there a way to reach them?”

The [Clown] who had fled after causing chaos using the [Streamer] was in Japan.

But it was impossible to reach with mere running.

It wasn’t like flights or boats were operating right now either.

In the absence of [Abnormality] like teleportation, it was virtually impossible to invade overseas.

There were similar creations on their side, but those were just for returning home.

“When friends are needed, isn’t that the time to ask for help?”

“I didn’t know you had friends.”

That damn bear…?

After punishing the teddy bear, Han Yu-seong picked up his smartphone.

It was indeed true that it had become difficult to go abroad now.

But it didn’t mean there were no ways to get abroad without teleportation.

“Is it possible?”

“Well, even so, if you suddenly ask us to prepare a flight….”

“Are you seriously saying you won’t provide any support while the alliance is being attacked?”

“….”

Isn’t that a threat?

Both the person on the phone and the bear with a bruise on his head thought simultaneously.

It meant if he didn’t comply, he would face consequences.

“… I’ll discuss it.”

That day, the representative from the [Company] that was tangled up with Han Yu-seong, who survived the [Ragnarok], said that before hanging up.

As for the subordinate who was contact person, he was holed up in the [Ordinary City], playing games with fast electricity still working…

The bear began to feel slightly sorry for the representative.

Anyway, after receiving the private jet from the [Company].

Inside it, Han Yu-seong was wearing a satisfied smile.

“This is nice, isn’t it? I wonder if I can get one myself?”

“Well, it’s considered a key asset of the [Company]…”

“Hey, I’m not asking for it. I do have a conscience.”

That conscience seems to be just about to vanish.

Though the words almost slipped out to the edge of his tongue, the pilot barely succeeded in swallowing them.

Han Yu-seong’s claim of needing to borrow something without even paying was indeed a rather shameless act.

“This private jet can’t be run indefinitely.”

Despite its outstanding performance that would satisfy Han Yu-seong, this aircraft was not something meant for continuous operation.

It was a machine made using an [Abnormal Object] created with the technology of the [Company].

The essence was infused into ore to create a metal imbued with [Abnormality], processed through a special method, forming the signature blend of science and [Abnormality] unique to the [Company].

Like moving from Tokyo to Kyoto in an instant, it could achieve speeds beyond existing aircraft, reaching jet-like levels, not to mention its stealth capabilities.

This stealth feature meant it could hide to the extent that it was undetectable not just by sensors but also to the eye.

It was truly a cutting-edge device made possible by utilizing the power of [Abnormality].

However, such advantages also came at a cost.

Not only for fuel, but to maintain the abilities of the [Abnormality], one must gather essence, meaning operational times are limited.

The maximum time it can operate at once is only four hours.

After that, it would require around twenty hours of charging to operate again.

Therefore, even within the [Company], this aircraft wasn’t something they used casually.

While Han Yu-seong, who was forcibly borrowing this valuable asset, spoke to the pilot.

“Well, at least with this, we could make one more stop, right?”

“…? Isn’t there no more [Clown] in Japan?”

“Oh, not [Clown], but…”

Since he had come all the way to Japan, why not swing by Tokyo once more?

Thus, Han Yu-seong returned to Tokyo.

That day, three of Japan’s landmarks disappeared from the world.

The Tokyo Skytree, the second tallest building in the world.

Nijo Castle, which had witnessed the rise and fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

And even Yasukuni Shrine, which worshipped war criminals as deities.

It was also added that the last sighting of Yasukuni Shrine collapsing into the ground led survivors in Japan to proclaim it divine retribution, resulting in an eventual civil war with right-wing groups, but that was not something to be concerned with right now.

“Still, as a Korean, if I’ve come to Japan, shouldn’t I break that thing on my way out?”

“Oh, yes.”

The pilot looked at Han Yu-seong with eyes akin to viewing a terrorist, but fortunately, Han Yu-seong, satisfied with this expedition, did not notice that look.

He had destroyed two landmarks…

‘Where could the winning ticket be hiding?’

Han Yu-seong wore a sinister smile as he gazed at the map.
