An Important Villain Hope or Disaster?
After abruptly coming back to the capital and threatening the nobles, Ian had to spend a few more days handling matters related to that. He had to, no, he insisted on watching over the nobles as they paid for their sins by doing various activities such as paying respect to the deads, helping their family members out, clearing false accusation from peoples name, making public confessions etc etc. The nobles all went to great lengths fulfilled their task, specially since Ian made it very clear that he was watching over every single one of them, carefully. Ian did all that during the day and took care of some underworld businesses during the night. Like that, a week passed. Ian barely got any sleep during the whole time but his body was as energetic as if he had just woken from a great nap. It was all thanks to Jet and the others who kept Ian on top shape all the time. "You should take a break."Albert said with concern as he watched Ian scan through huge mountains of documents. Albe
An Important Villain Reality Check
Ian blacked out. He and the Crown Prince had decided to have a drink after everything was settled. It was Ian's invitation so Albert was more than happy to accept.After Ian was done dealing with the nobles, he came back to the palace. By the time they started drinking, it was already late at night. Ian took out a bunch of snacks from his space ring. These were all food he had collected from all over the continent while on his journey to save and rescue people. Since he didn't accept any money in return for his service, they all showered him with lots of love and local food to show their gratitude.Ian found it cute so he accepted them the first time. After that, he came up with the idea to collect and share these variety of food with the people back home so he kept collecting them from then on. His target was finally being fulfilled. "How much food do you have stored inside your ring anyway?"Albert asked, casually, seeing how Ian was always taking one thing or the other out of h
An Important Villain Hell
"You didn't want to get involved?"Albert asked just to confirm what Ian had just said one more time. He was having a hard time believing it."To the point where you'd even make her swear on her mana?"Ian nodded his head in response. It was the truth. He had some pretty drastic change in his thoughts and attitude after coming to this world. The version of him that handled Anna was closer to Noah than Ian. "Yet you did all that behind his back to help him out?"Albert had a crazy expression on his face for a second before it went back to normal again. He looked at Ian like he was looking at the craziest person in the world. "I told you.. I just wanted to help the world.. Not him in particular."Ian mumbled. The only reason he wanted to help Arthur out in the beginning was so he could live a peaceful life in this world. But a war capable of destroying the earth wasn't going to be of much help in that case. "Young master.. Do you hate me?""Hah?"But the conclusion that Arthur came t
An Important Villain Welcome Back
"Hey..""Can you hear me?""Won't you wake up?"Ian felt someone gently place their palm on his forehead while trying to wake him up. His eyelids were heavy and he felt like he was having a really nice nap so he didn't want to wake up just yet.As he turned around and tried to ignore the voice behind him, he wanted to fall back asleep for another hour or two. The voice behind sounded a little surprised but that was all.'Why wake a sleeping person anyway?''Just leave me alone.. ''I'm sleepy.'Ian thought to himself as he felt himself fall asleep once again. But then, all of a sudden, something, a feeling, popped up on his mind.'It's too quiet.'Both inside his mind, body and on the outside, he couldn't feel anyone. The kids weren't there, neither were Arthur or Albert. He couldn't feel the presence of either the Phoenix or his familiars inside either. Ian jumped up the moment his thoughts came to that conclusion. An eerie feeling crept up his spine as he slowly opened his eyes. To
An Important Villain 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
An Important Villain 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
An Important Villain 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
An Important Villain 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
