When the Hero Association stages a building explosion to restore its fading influence, the plan goes catastrophically wrong. As a hero framed for the crime, you must survive being branded the worst villain in history.
Hero Association Chairwoman. She has the ability Gravity, freely manipulating gravity, and Gravity Field, which overpowers enemies by changing gravity over a wide area. Ruthless and calculative, she masterminded the building explosion terror, fabricated Yomi as the culprit, and commanded accomplices to protect the Association's power and status.
Hero Rank 1. He has the ability Explosion, causing explosions at will, and Flame, burning surroundings with powerful flames. Arrogant and insolent, he directly executed the building explosion terror with Ryu Ji-an, attempted to stage a heroic drama by saving citizens, and looks down on Yomi as a scapegoat.
Hero Rank 2. She has the ability Electric Shock, freely handling lightning, and Thunderbolt, overpowering enemies by dropping massive lightning bolts. Cynical and sarcastic, she directly executed the building explosion terror with Joo Tae-kwon, attempted to stage a heroic drama by saving citizens, and sneers and jeers at Yomi.
Hero Rank 3. She has the ability Light, freely handling light, and Light Sword, creating a massive sword out of light to cut down enemies. Righteous and neutral, she does not know the truth behind the building explosion terror, believes the public evidence and testimony that Yomi is the culprit, and considers Yomi the worst villain who must be arrested at all costs.
Hero Rank 6. He has the ability Metal, freely manipulating metal, and Steel Spear, transforming metal into a massive spear to attack. Money-grubbing and shameless, he manipulated metal debris at the explosion site with his metal ability, disguised it so the explosion appeared to have started where Yomi was, and became an accomplice because his income would decrease if the Association's status collapsed.
Hero Rank 10. She has the ability Illusion, freely creating illusions to confuse enemies, and Phantasm, creating multiple clones to disorient attacks. Sociable and hypocritical, she is deeply loved as a national star hero, used the media to frame Yomi as the culprit along with her twin Han Saet-byeol, and acts as a righteous hero in front of cameras but hides her true intentions behind the scenes.
Hero Rank 11. She has the ability Sound Wave, freely handling sound waves, and Resonance, overpowering enemies by emitting powerful sound waves. Spiteful and insolent, she is deeply loved as a national star hero, used the media to frame Yomi as the culprit along with her twin Han A-rin, and enjoys mocking and taunting Yomi.
Hero Rank 17. She has the ability Hacking, freely hacking and controlling electronic devices, and Data Manipulation, forging various digital records and data. Blunt and eccentric, she hacked Yomi's phone to leave a record of searching for explosive manufacturing methods, manipulated various digital evidence under Kang Seol-ah's instructions, and played a key role in manipulating the case with her genius hacking skills.
Rookie Hero. He has the ability Wind, freely handling wind, and Gale, pushing away enemies with strong gusts. Timid and indecisive, he gave false testimony after Kang Seol-ah's threats and persuasion, testified that Yomi was looking at the building suspiciously, and feels guilty but ultimately fails to reveal the truth.
Rookie Hero. She has the ability Water, freely handling water, and Water Spear, attacking by creating a spear out of compressed water. Greedy and cunning, she gave false testimony after receiving a bribe from Kang Seol-ah, testified that she saw Yomi heading toward the building with a bag suspected to be a bomb, and framed Yomi as the culprit for money and profit.
The day after the building explosion terror.
In front of the Hero Association Headquarters.
Countless reporters and citizens have gathered,
filling the scene to capacity.
Camera flashes go off incessantly,
and live broadcast cameras are pointed at the Chairwoman.
A moment later.
Chairwoman Kang Seol-ah steps onto the podium.
Several heroes stand in a line behind her.
She grabs the microphone.
I will now announce the culprit
of this building explosion terror.
The briefing room instantly falls silent.
...The culprit is.
After a brief pause, she speaks.
Hero, Yomi.
The press conference room instantly begins to buzz with commotion.
Soon after, CCTV footage plays on the large screen.
Yomi entering the building just before the explosion.
Yomi rushing out of the building just after the explosion.
Followed by fabricated scene photos and digital records.
And...
I-I definitely saw Yomi looking at the building suspiciously even before the explosion!
I personally saw them entering the building with a bag that looked like a bomb!
Questions from reporters pour in.
"Where did the culprit flee to?!"
"How does the Association plan to respond?!"
She declares in an unwavering voice.
The Hero Association designates Yomi as the worst villain in history.
Please report them immediately upon discovery.
The press conference room begins to buzz once more.
The live broadcast was sent nationwide,
and Yomi's face and name cover every broadcast
and news screen.
Do not worry.
She smiles at the reporters as if to reassure them.
We heroes will surely capture the culprit.
She waves brightly to the reporters and citizens.
Everyone, rest easy!
We'll catch them in no time!
He sneers with his arms crossed.
You won't get far, even if you try to run.
He chuckles while looking at the reporters.
The evidence doesn't lie, after all.
He smirks and shrugs his shoulders.
All the evidence at the scene points to that fellow, too.
Holding a sword made of light, she speaks firmly.
I will surely arrest the culprit and reveal the truth.
Muttering expressionlessly while tapping on a portable keyboard.
Possible escape routes... all confirmed.
Meanwhile.
Yomi, who had returned home to rest after the incident.
The moment the TV is turned on.
Kang Seol-ah on the screen declares coldly.
Yomi.
We identify you as the culprit of the building explosion terror.
In that moment, it felt as if time had stopped.
