An Important Villain Am I a Babysitter?
'Did the Gods send me here to babysit?' Ian wondered as he took out three slices of strawberry shortcake from his subspace. He placed on in front of each of them, the brother sister duo, and one was for him of course. 'Ash also likes this flavour..' Ian thought as he took a bite of the cake. The other two was still throwing awkward questions at each other as they stayed emerged in their own world. Ian could hear small talks like "How have you been?" "It wasn't too bad working as a knight. What about you?" And then complete silence from the two of them.. And again.. "Are you okay now? Does it hurt anywhere?" "I'm okay. Mister took good care of me." Then silence once again.. 'Wow... So awkward..' Ian tried to ignore the duo next to him as he focused on his precious cake. It was indeed very precious, since the chefs at the duchy spent wee
An Important Villain Our first destination
"Are you sure you'll be okay, son?"Olivia asked as she fixed Ian's collar. It was morning, and time for Ian's departure. He was wearing a plain white shirt and a maroon jacket on top, and black skinny pants. He wanted his attire to be as comfortable as possible.Ash was also wearing similar style clothing and a blue jacket instead. Since he had grown taller and gained some weight, he looked very charismatic in those clothes.'Almost as handsome as me.'Ian thought as he looked at the kid next to him. He wondered why he could find so many similarities between himself and Ash lately, but then he realised he was the one raising that kid. It was obvious they'd look similar, like father and son.Although others would call them brothers, to Ian, Ash was more like a son than a brother. He was too old to have a younger brother that young."Of course, mother. It's something I want to do so I'll be fine."Olivia was full of worries when the ac
An Important Villain Someone Else's Love
"Hot damn! Am I in a fairytale or what?!" Ian admired the scene in front of him as he spoke. The others were also having similar similar thoughts and feelings as they entered the village. The guards on duty at the gate stopped their carriage and asked for identification paper. Ian noticed Corner showing him a badge. The reaction of the guard told him that it was the Dicarious Duchy's badge since the guard almost dropped his jaw in shock. The two exchanged a few more words before they quietly let them enter the village. The way nobody made a fuss at Ian's arrival made him very satisfied with Corner's flexibility. He even felt like patting the guy on the shoulder a few times. "Let's go by foot." Ian peeked through the window as he said. The carriage came to a stop beside the entrance. He wanted to enjoy the festival with Ash and the knights like a normal
An Important Villain The Amazing Granny
"Whoops! Sorry. Bad joke."Ian said as he got in a defensive position. He gave himself an internal slap on the cheek as he started grinning again."Anyways, gramps. When can I meet her?""Her?""I'm talking about grandma! I wanna meet her.""Oho! Yea yea.. Come here in the morning tomorrow. I'll ask her to make some of her special breakfast for you!""It's a deal then!"The other's looked on as Ian made friends with the people in town one by one. Corner was quite surprised to see this friendly side of Ian that wasn't seen very often in the past. He wondered if he should be grateful for the fact that Ian lost his memories. But a question also arose alongside that thought.'Just what kind of memory was he carrying all on his own that made him turn out like that?'He wanted to ask. But he also
An Important Villain Alone for Centuries
"Wait. Are we lost?"Ian stopped walking as he looked around, not being able to find any familiar traces anywhere."I don't think that's the case, young master."Steve said as he unsheathed his sword. Ian wasn't as alerted as Steve was, but he also asked Jet and Canis to stay on guard."It's too quiet."There was no sign of life even when they scanned their surrounding with mana. Instead, the mana around them seemed to be acting weird, their pattern different from the natural pattern of mana.The both of them could come to the same conclusion at that point. Someone was artificially controlling the mana."Damn.. What now?"Ian complained as he started walking. There was no reason to stay frozen in one place just because of this."Y-young master! Where are you going?"Steve asked as he hurriedly tagged alone, this time making sure he doesn't passout like before."I do
An Important Villain I sacrificed Myself? What Bullshit!
While Ian was busy enjoying his time inside the cave, the others were turning paler and paler as they heard Steve's explanation.Steve was a talented and skilled knight without question. But even someone like that was thrown away by that 'monsters' one swipe of a hand. He didn't even have time to protest or hold his ground. They couldn't even begin to fathom how powerful he was or what type of awful things Ian must be going through at the moment.By Steve's explanation, it was pretty clear to them that Ian sent Steve out in exchange for his own presence, meaning, to them, it looked like Ian was sacrificing himself to save Steve. Even Steve, who hadn't realised this fact before now, had a grim expression on his face as Corner pointed out this fact to the others."He's doing it again.. ""He's sacrificing himself for others once again..""Why does he do this for us? We're not even worth a single strand of his hair!""Brother.. he's
An Important Villain I Keep Doing Unnecessary Things
"Haah.." Ian sighed as he listened to Corner and the other's explanation. He didn't realise his simple actions would be interpreted in such a manner. He obviously didn't have any intention of letting that misunderstanding progress so he tried to explain the original situation to them. "So it's like that. Do you understand? I KNEW there was no danger and SIMPLY asked Steve to bring you all here cause you'd be worried." "Is that so?" "So you knew already.. I see." The other's looked like they were in deep thoughts as they repeated Ian's words. After pondering over Ian's words for a bit, they looked at each other. 'Young master must be feeling shy! That's why he's making excuses like that.' 'He must not want us to feel bad!' 'He must've conquered this cave be
An Important Villain I Almost Died Thrice?!
"Whoa... Are you serious?" Ian gasped as he looked around. No matter where he looked, gems and treasures filled his eyes. He was inside the master's room at the moment. "Even the walls are filled with mana stones?" "They're all of the highest purity." "Damn.." Ian wondered, he seriously wondered. Would he not be the richest person in the world right now? He had a mana vein back at home, and a cave filled with treasures right here. 'I could probably buy a few small countries with this much, right?' He couldn't help but wonder looking at the scene in front of him. The master's room was a big hall equivalent to a big field. It had walls decorated with mana stones, and then swords, shields, spears , jewels and magic accessories and artifacts filling the whole room. "Your master was

Ian returned. After wondering the continent for half a year, he came back with a 'Bang!'. Right when the nobles all around the country gathered to 'show the hero his place', Ian returned. Crazy hypothesises such that Ian being a Devil worshipper, betraying the country and being on the run or that he's actually a demon etc etc all came to an end as he openly took Arthur's side and threatened the other nobles.Of course, most of those rumours weren't too far off the mark. Ian did prefer villains over heroes, demons over angels, he had no love for their country and lastly, he was a darkness ability user with a twisted moral sense. And! To top it all off, he also preferred these rumours over ones that would hail him as a hero. he'd rather be on the run after being called a demon rather than be called a hero and worshipped. Again, twisted morality. But he couldn't do that this time. There were too many people using his name so he couldn't just let it be as those people got treated bad

A butler's point of view - 1
"It's been a week since young master lost consciousness."Rob wrote in his diary as he sighed. There was a heavy atmosphere surrounding the duchy ever since the day Adrian fell down from the roof and went into a coma. How or why it happened was still a mystery around the duchy but speculations about an attempted suicide was slowly spreading around. Rob didn't believe them though. The Adrian he knew was too selfish and arrogant to do something like that. Yet, even when he was so sure, a small part of his mind kept lingering over that quiet and motionless room where Adrian was."Ah.. It's been a while."With that, Rob went to take another look at the sleeping Adrian for the 36th time that day. Although he was telling himself that Adrian's situation wasn't that serious, that he'd wake up soon, as he tried to remember all the bad things Ian did in his short lifetime just to mask his worry, he didn't even realise that he was unconsciously heading towards Ian's room again. After worryin

The Chosen One
Things Ian did(Unintentionally or intentionally) that influenced the future of Arthur's world: First of all, although the effect wasn't that eye-catching at the moment, Ian was going to be known as the figure that erased racial discrimination. Due to him giving shelter to people of all age and race, and the humans around him having constant changes in their views and perspective, it was going to be the seed that erased all future discrimination and racial profiling. Secondly, he was going to be known as the bridge between Humans and the Demons. The Queen of the Demons, Ash's mother who had gone back to the demon world to deal with some 'internal affairs' would soon return with an actual offer of friendship between the demons and the humans. It was Bela's way of showing gratitude to the people who had taken care of her son in his times of need. Ian's love for Ash was plain as day and the care and gentleness he showed when dealing with him was no different from what a parent woul

Magical Tool
"What..?""That's absurd!""Is that sorcery? Does he think he can fool us so easily?!"There were looks of disbelief, shock and confusion on everyone's faces as they looked at Ash. But no matter how tough they acted or how oblivious they tried to be, the bone chilling aura coming from Ash that slowly filled the room was undeniable. It was an aura that was impossible for any human to manifest, dark and scary."It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not.""I'm not the one behind bars looking at lifetime imprisonment and possible death sentence."Ian shrugged his shoulders in a casual manner as he signaled for Ash to stop. He was only here to give these people a chance. A chance at repentance. If they refuse to grab it, he didn't care less whether they died or lived inside a cage forever. 'Human resources are valuable after all.'That was one of the other reasons why Ian was here. He wanted to bind all these people under contract and have them serve the country. It didn't sit right

The Real Deal
"You're gonna let them go?" Arthur asked, conflicted, as he looked at Ian. They were currently in an underground prison, the biggest prison that was made on Ian's request under the Duchy. The war criminals, the cult members, were being held here. Seven days had already passed since Ian's soul returned to his body. He was forced to have complete bedrest this whole time by his parents and the kids. They finally let him go after he managed to manipulate them emotionally with everything he had. It was a difficult job indeed. But nothing was impossible for Ian. "Let them go? NO?" Ian asked back in utter shock instead. But it wasn't Arthur's fault that he misunderstood. Ian did indeed say something that could be easily misinterpreted. "But you just said 'It's time to go out.'..?" That's what he said. To the criminals. Not that he meant it literally. "To the hall. TO.THE.HALL." Ian repeated himself twice, once for the criminals and once for Arthur. Everyone captured already had

A Good Kind of Pain
Ian's time with the kids were cut short as the Dicarious couple arrived in a haste. A part of Ian was happy to see them again after so long. But a part of him was also wondering if they really were there for Ian. What if they were expecting their son to come back? What if the person they expected to see coming to his senses was Adrian and not him? How disappointed they would be. With a mixture of these various emotions coursing through his mind, he failed to make any type of expression when faced with those two people. Neither could he smile wholeheartedly nor apologize and cry. The kids were guided outside by Arthur and Albert, giving Ian and his parents the room to themselves. Ash was reluctant to leave seeing Ian's expression, but the atmosphere was too heavy for him to interfere. So while everyone else went to another room, he stayed, waiting while standing outside Ian's room. The others also didn't force him to leave since they didn't know which was better. "Are you

Glad to be Back
"YOU!"Smack!"THOUGHTLESS!"SMACK!"BAS-! JER-!! PERSON!"Ian had to wake up from his peaceful sleep with the sound of someone's shout along with the obnoxiously loud yet not so painful smacking of the pillows."Ow ow ow.. what the hell...?""Huh?""I'm back?"Ian woke up rubbing the back of his head that was the victim of continuous battering and looked around. The changed bedroom and the familiar faces made him aware of the fact that he had indeed come back. "What?""What are you talking about, young master? You didn't go anywhere."Both Albert and Arthur looked concerned as they checked Ian's status for any abnormalities. Only after multiple checking did they finally sigh in relief. "Ah no.. ""Hey guys.. Long time no see?"Ian greeted the kids and the Prince and the Knight all together while leaning back on his bed. The one responsible for the ruthless battering from before still had a massive pout on their face as they silently glared at Ian. "Are you angry? I'm sorry. How lo

A Week Without Ian
Ian enjoyed the tea from hell while having a long and informative conversation with death, or at least that's who he assumed the other person was. He learned about the past that he had locked away and the people he had forgotten. But it all felt distant, like he was viewing the life of somebody else. "Why did I do that? Lock my memories?"Ian was curious. Just by watching the memories of Noah's future, he could tell that he lived a pretty okay life. The daughter he adopted also turned out to be great. She became his family. These were precious memories. So he couldn't understand why he'd lock them up like this. "After I presented you with my request, this is what you told me."Death continued showing Ian another set of completely different memories. An old man, wrinkly hand, white hair, hazy eyes. The room looked similar to the one he was in right now, and so was the person in front of them. "The me right now cannot save a world.""The blade has already lost it's edge.""I've grow

Unfiltered Memories
"What do you mean by welcome back?"Ian asked, confused. As far as he could remember, never before in his life did he see this man or these scenes. And these weren't circumstances that he'd forget 'by chance' either. "After your first death, you came here.""First death.. Ah.. When I jumped down the bridge?"Ian remembered his last moments as Noah. The music that played, the scenery he watched on top of that bridge, they were all very memorable. Yet, he had no memory of coming to this place.But unlike Ian's thoughts, the guy in front of him shook his head in denial. Not understanding exactly which part he was denying, Ian tilted his head to the side slightly."What death are you talking about then?""You didn't die back then."The guy sat down on the bed, facing Ian and the endless hell behind him as he spoke. "When you were at the verge of losing consciousness, you heard a childs cry.""A child?""Yes. It was the final monster outbreak." Ian wondered what this guy was talking abo
