Villain of my own

***

Stan Walton had met Eshwar by chance when Quinn had brought him back to human civilization when Eshwar was 14 years old. When they first met, Eshwar resembled a beast, rather than a human.

He recognized Eshwar\'s talent at first glance and tried to \'support\' his growth, which was coldly turned down by Eshwar, and when Stan Walton thought it was just a kid\'s tantrum about being all grown up, he was greeted with a cold glare that was brimming with power, causing his legs to buckle and fall on his knees.

He had been publicly humiliated that day, that incident had scarred him and sometimes just thinking about Eshwar was enough to send shivers down his spine.

\'Goddamn, child! I\'ll make sure to make you kneel in front me someday, I just need a chan..... Wait! Didn\'t this incident happen in his presence?\' a cruel grin appeared on his face.

"You can leave, Miss Hana." He said and sat straight.

Seo Hana bowed politely and walked walked out of the room.

"Hahaha.... You goddamn child! I\'ll make you perpetrator of the cadets massacre incident!" he mumbled and laughed maniacally.

Jiwoo travelled to Sector Seven to find a \'lost\' martial art based on the information he had obtained from the novel he had read.

\'Am I really alive or am I just a charact.... No. Am I also just one of the people of this world he created?\'

Jiwoo\'s brain, which had repeatedly proven him correct, was now slowly becoming a burden he didn\'t want to bear. That thought occurred to him immediately after his meeting with Eshwar.

First, Vinny\'s regression made no sense, and he had never considered the possibility of the \'second\' male lead, \'Vinny Grover,\' regressing. Even if the first male lead and villain \'Max Knight\' had regressed, he wouldn\'t believe it even if he was supposed to be the original male lead.

In the story he knew, the female lead, \'Katline Romero,\' was the main character and a hero; Katline dies at the end of the story, and Max is killed after being caught for murdering his brother in the academy and being exposed for all the crimes he had committed; finally, Vinny simply disappeared after the death of his wife Katline.

The story concludes with a demon slaughtering all of the heroes, with the dialogue \'These people were not worth your sacrifice!\'

When Vinny explained \'the Jiwoo,\' he knew everything seemed like something Jiwoo would do for survival, and Jiwoo was taken aback.

He would notice Eshwar\'s expressions from time to time and noticed that Eshwar\'s face displayed no surprise to the story, which seemed absurd to him.

Eshwar remained calm throughout the entire story, as if he knew what was going on. He wasn\'t in the least bit surprised by Vinny\'s absurd strength, and Eshwar, a supposed author with no experience with monsters, treated rank-SS monsters like toys.

Even if he was born here, it doesn\'t make sense for him to become absurdly strong in such a short period of time, and in the story Eshwar... No, Max is supposed to be a student who is bullied because he is two years older than the average age for academy admission and is an orphan.

He begins to plot against his own family but fails miserably; the rage from the failure and the constant bullying breaks him from within and without, leading him to murder his own brother and that incident got Max killed.

All of his thoughts and Eshwar\'s calm expression about Vinny\'s story made him wonder if he, too, was created by the author \'Eshwar.\'

WHOOSH

A strong gust of wind hit Jiwoo\'s face, jolting him awake from his trance. Jiwoo\'s nostrils were filled with the salty scent of the sea, mud, and grass.

He was dressed in a black padded military jacket and pants with numerous bulging pockets.

"Damn, I already reached my destination before even realizing....." Jiwoo thought out loud.

He was on the outskirts of Sector Seven. He stood on a cliff and looked down at the sea, which was crashing against the cliff, sometimes so violently that water nearly reached Jiwoo.

\'I\'ll definitely connect the dots and make some damn sense of the situation and my existence....\' he thought.

"And, I need a strong enough skill which could help me nullify negative status effects..... so, that I can avoid situations like the recent incident and stop it from happening at least in my presence...." he mumbled.

He took out his katana, which Eshwar had given him from his inventory slot. With a bitter smile, he stared at the katana.

"Oh, well..." He took out two grey potions from his thigh pockets and noticed that the volumetric flask was engraved with the name \'UNCHARTED A.\'

"It makes me lighter, doesn\'t it..." he asked himself and gulped down a potion in one shot.

"Hooo.... Looks like it works." He mumbled after testing it by jumping and flying back from the strong sea breeze.

"Wait.... How the f**k do I get down there?" he yelled realizing his blunder.

"And, what is the point of a potion that makes me lighter?" Doesn\'t that make things more difficult for me? I just flew back from a strong gust of f**king wind..." he yelled angrily, cursing himself.

"God! Do I have to wait until it the potion effect wears off?" Jiwoo yelled again, and the strongest wave collided with the cliff again, pushing Jiwoo back.

"..... Sorry." He bowed at sea politely and back off.

He sat on the ground and began to pluck the grass in front of him out of boredom.

*

After a few minutes.

\'The potion effect seems to have worn off.... Good.\' Jiwoo thought.

When he stood back up, he noticed he had plucked grass from the ground in a circular pattern around where he sat.

"....." Jiwoo stared at the system notification.

"..."

\'Somehow it seems like the system is happy and looks like it\'s sparkling... Is it just me?\' Jiwoo thought.

\'F**k.\'
