Back Home as a Villain

Who is it?

Riyan decided to walk home, when he was on his way suddenly heard a snap sound but didn't give much thought to it, at an interaction he asked Kalki it was left or straight but there was no response. he felt weird because she always answers him no matter what. then he looked around and saw that time had stopped.

A voice came "Took you long enough to realize."

"You, why are you here?"

"Again? Fine, I'm No-" "I know you are Noah but what are you doing here?"

"Thank god, I was worried that I have to tell you whole story."

"I remember everything so don't worry."

"I came here to tell you something, but I heard something real interesting. If you answer my doubts, I will tell you."

"What doubts?" Riyan looked at Noah suspiciously.

"Not much, why was Elmir's daughter jealous of Ryu's daughter? And is it true that she died in hands of demon slayers? but why did only poison art demon slayer die? And how many sons did Azazel have?"

"Oh, that's.... Riyan realized what Noah was asking and glared at him said, "I didn't know territorial gods have so much free time that they eavesdrop on other's conversation."

"Come on Riyan, I think I will die from this curiosity. please the news I have will help you a lot. So please answer my questions."

"No thanks keep it with you, I don't want to answer anything."

"Riyan, it's about how you ended up in Azara, as a sky god I know everything happens on the land. And I never bother with other's business but yours is complete mystery so only you can tell me."

Riyan's ears perked when he heard how he end up there. "Fine, my mom was not jealous, but Madam Ryu was. And yeah, my mom was killed by demon slayers who use poison arts. And we only kill those who are responsible, so only poison art users are dead. As for how many siblings I have excluding two Ryus, we are five. Happy, now tell me how."

"How is that possible, Are you not three step siblings. Where did extra four come from?"

"Why do you even wanna know about my family?"

"Please, this will be second last question."

"Second? Fine, my dad has 5 wives and I have Five elder sibling including that first Ryu. Any other question related to my family will not be answered."

"Oh, really. Deal is deal, you weren't taken there because you disrespected him or anything but there was another reason to it."

"And that is?"

"You said you guys never kill anyone who didn't do anything wrong. Then why did you kill Azarel who just wanted to be with his daughter and Beshah whom you loved."

Riyan was holding his anger. "They paid for what they did."

"But you loved Beshah, no? don't tell me you just played."

Riyan angry and said,"I loved her more than my life, she was my first love, I loved her even before I knew she was Kazim's daughter. you say played? You know when she was taken away to be hung. Only I know the sharp pain I had in my chest. I killed her, I killed her in the eyes of Azarians."

Noah was worried "I didn't mean it that wa-". Riyan cut when Noah was speaking "I'm not done yet, as for Azarel I put curse on him, that's it. His father played tricks with me. And we fox return everything, be it kindness or hatred. So, I just returned what I got."

Noah tried to calm him "Riyan, ca-calm down. I asked in wrong way. I'm sorry. Cielo didn't come here by himself. he was summoned through ritual. And the one who summoned him deliberately pointed out your soul as the spirit he needs."

"Who was it? tell me?"

"I'm not allowed to tell you anything about that person because I have some restrictions. Noah said in sad tone. So, i can't tell you her name but you know her." but he did give some clue.

"Her? I know her?... No way! it's her." Riyan was confirming.

Noah proudly smiled and said,"I knew you can figure it out. Seems like you know who it is. Well, it's time I leave. Bye next time I'll visit you with Zehel."And with a snap time started in the way it was.

Noah saw Riyan off, and he looked back and said " I told you, you didn't die in Azara, and this is not any kind of afterlife.

**At Riyan's home**

As Riyan opened the door party poppers were popped and everyone shouted "Happy first day in college" everything was like party. Then Pherio came to him and said " we weren't there on your actual first, so you were. Happy first day in college my unfilial grandson." Rick told pherio "why didn't you just tell him that it's party for confirmation that he is Riyan not Asuna."

As soon as party ended; an assassin came to Riyan's room, and Kalki apprehended him. But Riyan didn't notice him because he was lost in thoughts.

After that for seven days Yustaf thought him everything for pre finals and he studied hard for it too.

On the day of exam Riyan's teacher came to him and said "If you want, I can ask another student write paper for you because you can't use your right hand. It's not easy to write with left as you say."

Riyan scoffed and said " I know you are worried. But I can write with left hand because I'm left-handed not right-handed. hope you understand." as teacher left few students came to him, one of them spoke mockingly" Ryu Ahn, they said, this year pre final's exam is gonna be in English, not in Korean. Try to hang in there."

Riyan knew he was mocking him and smiled, said "Worry for yourself, nadhl." *Nadhl means bastard in Arabic*

That guy said, "What did you say?". But Riyan ignored him because he felt someone's stare from the entrance. That guy tried to him, but he dodged it. Teacher came with papers, and everyone started writing exam. Teacher came to check on Riyan if he was doing any sort of cheating but found nothing. So, they left him alone. Pre final exams went by, and day of results came. Everyone was shocked when they saw the results, so was Riyan because he couldn't find his name anywhere. He came to classroom disappointed and thought 'no worries, Riyan, we'll do great next time.' and sighed, mumbles "What's the point of studying that hard. When I didn't even pass." Their teacher came and called "Ryu Ahn, stand up." Riyan didn't budge. Teacher called him again. His seatmate told him to stand. As he stood up teacher asked everyone to clap for him, said "congratulations, on progressing to 5th rank from 455th." Riyan asked him, "That means there won't be any eggs in my mark sheet, right?" Everyone started laughing.

Pherio threw another party, Noah came in disguise but he brought another guest but that was not Zehel. Riyan's expression changed.

Party ended another assassin came by too. By the time Kalki came to apprehend him. Riyan had already tied him up and said,"pray that you die before I start torturing you, because my mood is not nice."

Meanwhile on the Highway, Yustaf was going to pick his underling who was stuck in the black forest. On his way he saw someone ask for lift in the middle of night, he decided to give him lift. That guy thanked Yustaf and asked why he was looking happy. Yustaf said " my friend scored great marks and is back his past health. Today was party for party for him."

That guy said, " Is your friend's name Riyan Cayan Elmir?"

"Yeah!" Yustaf answered subconsciously. He stopped driving, thought for second and asked, "How did you know when I didn't even mention anything about him?"

That guy looked at him and punched him in the face said " I came here to kill him, why wouldn't I know whom I will kill?" Yustaf's eyes widen up when they heard that. Yustaf fights him but loses. So, decides to run away, on his way he tries to call Riyan to tell him that someone's here to kill him and he is really strong. He runs into a forest, there he sees a girl thinks that it's a midnight ghost and runs toward the southern mountain territory as he was about to reach it, a rope drags him back to the forest where he saw the girl and it starts to suck his energy, Yustaf shouts so loud that the whole forest rings up.

Riyan suddenly turns towards the window in the stone jail where he was torturing the assassin as if he heard Yustaf's cry. Kalki asked if something was wrong, but Riyan denies saying he might have mistaken a wolf's cry. And thought, 'Everyone is here except for Yus, he went to black forest, which is like second home to him and there is southern mt. territory where he is treated like respectfully. Everyone is fine, everything is good but still why does it feel like something is wrong.'
