The Villain has Perished



"Ahhh! That fricking Goddess! Now, she has done it!"

I was rolling all over the floor while holding my head. Just recalling the humiliating defeat was making me burn from shame.

"Wait for me, you chicken! I'll cook you the next time we meet!"

Everything could have ended peacefully. But no, she had to come and bash my head into the ground! Does she even know how much that hurt!?

After rolling over the floor in an over-exaggerated fashion for a few minutes, I jumped to my feet.

"Phew, that felt good. It's been a long time since I could act however I wanted to."

I woke up here after losing consciousness. 

The white floor stretched endlessly in this empty white void. I wouldn't have been able to differentiate the floor from the surroundings, if not for the fact that I was standing on it.

This place was similar to the white world where I met Zagerus moments before being reincarnated and where Setsuna killed Solomon.

I didn't know if this was a spiritual place or a hallucination, but I didn't need to act with proper etiquette as I did in the outside world here.

"Well, it's not really as bad as I make it to be."

Jae-sung was bound by the rules of the game. He won't be able to enter the forest for at least one week, or maybe even more. I didn't need to worry about him using the Port. 

Additionally, Jae-sung's regression date was almost upon us. 

I must be unconscious in the real world. If Setsuna exposed me as the hooded figure in the forest, the job of protecting me would fall on her only. After all, our lives were connected. 

She definitely won't rat me out. She also won't enter the Port as she can't clear it anyway and would only die there.

"Wait a second, that reminds me… I forgot about Varnish and Charlotte! How am I going to make a favorable impression on Jae-sung now!?"

Again, I dropped to the floor and rolled while holding my head, like a child throwing a tantrum.

The plan was to use Varnish to flip Charlotte's intention of me in one go. For that, it was necessary to deal with the chimpanzee sword instructor in the forest.

But due to how the situation developed in the forest, it completely slipped my mind!

"Haaah! I can't believe that it is possible to feel happy just because you can move any way you want."

I sat on the floor.

"Oh well, I don't need Charlotte anymore. That pink chicken will deal with Jae-sung for me."

Hehehe, she dared to attack me? Wait for me, I'll get my revenge by overworking you to death!

A certain plot where the young master humiliates the protagonist started hatching in my mind. But in my plot, it will be the heroine who suffers! Because she will need to stop the protagonist's retaliation against the young master!

"As long as Jae-sung doesn't know that it was me who killed him, everything is well and dandy."

"He already knows, though."

Suddenly, a pale white man appeared in front of me. He was floating upside down.

Just like his actions, his appearance was also bizarre. 

His two eyes were closed and in the middle of his forehead was a pitch-black vertical eye that was staring at me. From the suit he was wearing to his hair and wings, everything about him was white in color.

The man spoke. "That child failed the quest. So, he knows that it was you."

At the man's words, a golden screen appeared before me.

➤[ A+ Grade Quest: Defeat Sol Lionel in a fair spar ]

➤[ Chain-type Quest ]

➤[ First chain clearance reward: Celestial Swordsmanship:??? Series, +5 STR, +5 AGI, +5 VIT, +5 DEF, Memory Fragments ]

➤[ Quest Failed ]

Reading the screen, the meaning of the man's words dawned upon me.

"My fight against Jae-sung was taken as a spar and when I defeated him, he failed the quest. This is how he will know that it was me."

I felt a little proud over the fact that defeating me was the start of an A+ Grade Chain Quest. It was a level that was almost impossible to complete and gave high rewards. Meaning, the system rewarded me highly!

"Memory fragments? These must be for regaining his memory from the World of System…"

Slowly, I stopped speaking and looked at the man who suddenly appeared in this space. 

"Who the hell are you!?"

My reaction was late, but when I realized that a foreign entity was talking to me, I 'unconsciously' smacked his face by reflex.

The man flew in an arc, bounced a few times, and then crashed for good.

"H-how could you..? That's domestic violence! Just because I'm staying at your place doesn't mean that you can hit me!" said the man while holding his cheek, which was swelling in a comical way. By now, the swelling covered half of his face.

'That was a good reaction. Anyone who would look at me now would think I met him for the first time.' I commended myself for my master acting skills.

The man was the God of Games, Ciel. He was the Gamer System living inside Jae-sung.

It seemed that he was here because I gained a portion of the system. 

'How does it even work? Does that mean there are two Ciel now? One with me and another with Jae-sung? Oh, I forgot I was acting.'

I spoke in the most authentic surprised voice. "Who are you!? And why are you here!?"

"Are we going that way?" said the man and then he flew into the air.

A halo appeared behind him and he spread his wings along with his arms. A hymn started in the background while a few feathers fell from his wings. He then spoke in the most authentic ethereal and divine voice. 

"Hear me mortal. I am a God and have come to grant thee my blessing"

The swelling hadn't disappeared, by the way.

'Maybe I should learn a lesson or two on shamelessness from him.'

Ciel was an eccentric True God. Despite the fact that he was living inside Jae-sung, connecting their life and death together, Ciel never went out of his way to protect Jae-sung.

All Ciel cared about was entertainment and fun. It didn't matter to this God if he died in that pursuit. 

He never gave Jae-sung extra help outside the bounds of quests and rewards. From his perspective, cheating would dampen the fun he got from the game called Jae-sung.

It was a fair exchange for Ciel. He gave Jae-sung abilities and unmatchable strength in return for entertainment. 

"Hmm, this isn't fun. We should do something else. Let's talk about your attribute!"

Ciel disappeared from the air and reappeared beside me. He placed his arm over my shoulder and pointed somewhere with his other arm. 

"Tell me how you got it!"

My breath stifled when I followed Ciel's arm with my gaze.

At the place he pointed, a hooded figure was sitting on a dark throne, exuding black mist.

'I don't think that person was here before.'
