Re: Write The Villain To Win Is To Survive
'You know, you truly are a remarkable antagonist.'......'Do you truly believe that I've found satisfaction?'......'It's your turn to become my PIECE.'......[Synchronizing memory '2'... Complete]***(Vallen POV)"So... I'm not the only one, huh."In the fragments of my recollections, from the era preceding the world's reset, I recollect the actions of the earlier iteration of myself, Athan. Deliberately, he orchestrated an intricate scheme, excising a segment of his own memories and seamlessly implanting falsified recollections in their stead.Before his consciousness was transposed into the the past, he issued a directive to Deus, tasking the entity with overtaking his body. This veiled possession entailed the clandestine elimination of the elderly gentleman sporting a distinguished top hat. Meanwhile, he orchestrated the dispatch of Jack and his associate, Olivia, on a covert mission to infiltrate the organization's ranks. Their primary mandate was to discreetly relay in

Several hours whisked past in a blur. As I gathered my belongings, preparing to embark on my journey to school, I exited my room and embarked upon a solitary walk through the vacant corridor."It's been quiet today..." I mused aloud, the words softly punctuating the stillness. The once-familiar cadence of life within these walls seemed to have shifted inexplicably.I remembered the time when my cousin was still a child. We would often play outside until we're tired. Over time, much like the others, her disposition underwent a subtle metamorphosis, a transformation coinciding with my own affliction of blindness. To clarify, my sentiments towards her remain untouched by animosity. Rather, I suspect her malleable nature might be the root cause—susceptible to the prevailing influence of those around her.Children are easily influenced, which is why my cousin, who was once innocent, now exhibits a brattish demeanor."Speak of the devil..."Abruptly, my steps came to a halt as I fixed my ga

"This is it..."As I gazed at the solitary figure seated on a park bench, I involuntarily clenched my fist tightly, my emotions in turmoil. Ever since my vision was restored, my facial expressions also returned after a year of absence... This explained why I could express my joy when Jack presented me with the action figurine.However, such thoughts were inconsequential at this moment. My focus was solely on preventing her from spreading the foolish mistake I had made.Taking her life wasn't a viable option. She held significant influence and popularity, not to mention her pivotal role within the academy. Why? Because the girl before me happened to be the principal's only disciple!She was born with a magical prowess that was remarkable like the principal, a stark contrast to my own inclination towards physical strength. My proficiency extended to a multitude of weapons, though ranged arms like bows and firearms remained beyond my mastery.Strangely, there was a hint of familiarity i

"Why...?""Why.... Why...?""Athan.....!"As the voice calling a familiar yet weirdly unknown name became faint, I could feel someone grabbing me from behind.It was pulling me further into the darkness.I felt like I was drowning in a deep ocean; however, for some reason, I could still breath properly.Help... I wanted to scream, yet no words came out from my mouth except for bubbles. The experience felt suffocating.As the hand kept pulling me further away from the light, I felt my eyes becoming heavy. Soon, I let the darkness consume my consciousness as the feeling of emptiness overtake me......."....Ah!"My eyes shut open as I immediately sat up from my bed, my hand extended forward. What happened...? I thought, looking at my palm as I pant heavily. To calm down, I clutched on my chest and closed my eyes to take in some breath.After snapping out of trance and recovering my stupor, I immediately turned my attention to scrutinize my surroundings."I..."Noticing the action fi

After I finished explaining, Chloe finally released her grip on me. I fell on my bum, and she left me alone."Ugh..."...What should I do now? I pondered to myself. I had left my mask back in my room, and my remaining money would barely last a week. Therefore, I decided to head to school, looking rather disheveled. My hair was a mess, and I had developed dark circles under my eyes for some unknown reason."How troublesome..."I put on my glasses, the same ones I usually wore when venturing out incognito, and slung my bag over my shoulder.I should mention that when my vision partially returned a few years ago, it was still somewhat blurry.With my bag in tow, I left the estate to make my way to school.---(Alicia's POV)Staring at the imposing school gate ahead, I gripped my bag and adjusted the sword hanging by my side."I hope Vallen stops following me this year."The person in question is my childhood friend, Vallen. For some reason, after he lost his sight, he has become somewhat

(Vallen POV)Earlier...As soon as I arrived at the school, I immediately noticed Alicia standing in front of the gate. From the looks of it, she appeared to be nervous. It was probably because, after this year, she would officially become a Guardian.Upon graduation, each student had the option to choose a profession. For civilians, the options ranged from entrepreneurship and accounting to science, police work, politics, and various other common occupations.However, for students like us who attended a Magic School, there were six special job categories to choose from. These options included Guardians, Magic Police, Mages, Mercenaries, Hunters, and Wanderers.Guardians were often likened to modern-day heroes. They were ranked by number, with the number one spot occupied by a Guardian known as Felix. This number was both a codename and an indication of their mastery of Sky and Lightning magic.Magic Police were essentially law enforcement officers who wielded magic.Mages acted as re

"Vallen!"I was jolted from my thoughts as the sudden call of my name pierced the classroom. Slowly, I turned my head toward the source of the voice, managing a forced smile in response."Erm, yeah?" I replied, affirming her guess.Before I could say more, our professor intervened, addressing Alicia with a request. "Miss Alicia, could you please take your seat? We're about to begin our class."A look of realization crossed Alicia's face as she glanced around the classroom. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she promptly returned to her seat.Professor Cossette continued with her introduction, and soon she delved into the topic of magic and its elements. I listened attentively, thankful for the return to normalcy.During the lecture, I couldn't help but feel the weight of Alicia's gaze on me. It was unusual and slightly uncomfortable. To distract myself, I lightly tapped my index finger on the table and shifted in my chair.As the class progressed, I found myself gazing out the w
Re: Write The Villain Loop 1
I found myself disoriented, uttering a bewildered, "Where am I?" As I gradually opened my eyes, a faint glimmer of light pierced through, beckoning me to the surface.Panic coursed through me, and I knew I had to swim back to that elusive light above. I attempted to move my limbs, but an invisible force held me in a motionless state.In a frantic bid to escape the drowning darkness, I scanned my surroundings, but all I saw was water. My mouth finally moved, releasing a bubbling cry as I continued to sink away from the distant light.My attempts to swim upwards were thwarted when an unseen force gripped my foot, pulling me deeper into the abyss. The sensation was strange; I could still breathe, as if there was air within this underwater realm."Help!" I screamed, though I knew my voice only resonated within my own head.Am I... Going to die?Time lost meaning, and though I could breathe, a suffocating sensation began to creep over me. My vision dimmed, and my eyes grew heavy.In that

Something Is Changing (1)
As we were entering the school, I accidentally heard some rumours spreading about what happened yesterday.According to the rumour, a student from this school had helped on preventing two accidents... Hmm.. Fortunately, thanks to my sweater, none of them seem to have recognized me last night.I can probably rest easy for now...Kim's sudden pause drew our attention, his gaze fixed on my face with an inexplicable expression...What's with him anyway? He's been acting weird since this morning.... Wait, isn't he and Kiyona already weird since the very beginning?With a silent nod to myself, we continued toward the classroom, Kim still recovering from his apparent shock."....?"As we approached, a group of students gathered by the door caught my eye. Curiosity piqued, I approached them to inquire about the commotion."Hey, what's going on?" I asked one of the students.-Ah... Well, do you remember the Arto
Just A "Very" Calming Day
Entering the apartment building, I was immediately greeted by Miss Olivia, her warm demeanor a stark contrast to the unsettling events of the day.Earlier, I had borrowed Aerial's phone to make a call, seeking refuge in their home. Jack, the owner of the apartment, agreed almost immediately upon hearing my situation.Aerial's surprise was palpable when she learned that I was practically homeless after running away from home. By the time I hung up and said my thanks, she immediately asked about what happened.Since I have nothing to lose anyway, I decided to tell her the truth.... Not the regression part, of course.Her reactions were somehow expected; she sympathize with me, and thus, diverted the topic back to our work.Anyways—"Vallen is finally here," Olivia informed Jack, who nonchalantly continued watching a horror movie, the flickering images casting an eerie glow across the room."You're here already?" he said, h
Accurate Prediction
"This..."Staring at the intricate equations sprawled across the fifteen papers and the detailed drawing of the portal along with its required components that I was holding, I sighed in frustration and let my head drop to the table....I never expected it to be this perplexing. I mean, it was genuinely confusing, with the numbers outnumbering the alphabets!I was on the verge of placing the papers back on the table when something caught my attention."...This thing requires someone as a test subject, right?"Turning toward Aerial's direction, I stood up from my seat."Can I be the one to do that?"Thanks to my looping ability, if something goes wrong, I can just regress back to the first day and make the necessary adjustments to the machine until it works....Playing scientist again this round... Why does it feels weird?"...Why?" She asked, pulling me back to reality. Her face showed a confused express
Confusing Truth (2)
"....""...."Tapping my index finger on the table, my eyes shifted between Aerial and the mysterious numbers sprawled across the paper she was holding. How in the world could she decipher this cryptic language?"....Mmm." I closed my eyes, pondering. If it were just ordinary numbers, she wouldn't bother, unless these papers concealed a hidden message—a Morse code of sorts.".....""....ugh."Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she placed the folders down, meticulously arranging them on the table. Glancing my way, she closed her eyes and inquired, "...what do you want?""....!!"Clearing my throat, I put on a smile and replied, "Ah... Well, I want to join this club." She abruptly halted, processing my unexpected announcement.Turning her head slightly, she contemplated before asking, "Why do you want to join?" Her scrutinizing gaze moved from top to bottom."It's because... ah?""You know what, zip it." Before I could elaborate, she handed me a paper—an application for the club
Confusing Truth (1)
"You're Vallen, aren't you?"I turned my head in Alicia's direction, casting her a weary glance before refocusing on the front of the classroom."Don't ignore me!"Alicia slammed her hands on my table, causing me to shrink back into my chair... I'm getting annoyed."Hey, I'm asking you—?!"Kiyona's hands intervened, cutting off Alicia's words. She looked at me with a frown. "You know this girl?" she inquired, squinting."...Nope. Never seen her before," I responded sarcastically, rolling my eyes towards the window.Although I didn't admit it outright, the lie was evident from my expression and tone. Strangely, Kiyona appeared to buy into it....Is she an idiot?"Pfft!" Kim couldn't contain a sound, swiftly covering his mouth. Our eyes met, his expression stiffening before he looked away.Alicia, seemingly unfazed by our silent exchange, voiced her annoyance."How are you able to see...?" she asked curiously, crossing her arms."How do you think? It's because I have eyes." I pointed tw

At the auditorium.The three of us took our seats together. Kiyona, the vibrant and talkative girl, claimed the center. Kim sat on the left, and I occupied the right."There are so many people here!" Kiyona exclaimed, rising suddenly and letting out a loud "woo hoo!" This drew surprised glances from the students in front of us."Stop it... You're only embarrassing us," Kim chided her, shaking his head slightly before turning to me."I hope you're not uncomfortable with this girl... She's a bit eccentric, to say the least."Well, I can see that... I thought, glancing up at Kiyona, who was smiling wholeheartedly. Despite her eccentricities, there was something likable about her that I couldn't quite pinpoint."Hey, Kim! The principal is making her appearance!" Kiyona pointed excitedly to the center of the stadium.She added, "She looks young and beautiful! How old is she again?" Her eyes sparkled at the sight of the principal. I rolled my eyes and snorted.Indeed, appearances could be d

As soon as I woke up back inside my room on the mansion, confusion engulfed me as I checked the calendar that was on the shelf before checking through my phone.'First Day of School!'It was the same.Panic gripped me; this regression wasn't exactly as I anticipated. Cursing my predicament, I held my head in frustration. "Why had I been thrust back to the beginning?" There were no answers, and the disorienting return only fueled my anxiety.Contemplating various possibilities, I considered the absurd idea of being poisoned. However, logic swiftly dismissed it – Miss Olivia, who shared the meal, wouldn't endanger herself nor her boyfriend. She wasn't that reckless or suicidal.Desperation led my mind to entertain wild theories. Had my father sent assassins? A notion swiftly dismissed, recognizing the improbability... Although there is still a possibility, I knew his personality. The mind raced, concocting and discarding scenarios, each more implausible than the last.Tok Tok—!The ca

"...That was boring."As I said that, I carefully removed the bloody gloves on my hand and took out a plastic bag, then placed it inside."None of them even lasted a minute... I guess they never had any proper training." I kept the plastic bag inside my bag before turning away. It's not that I know much about what kind of group the Resistance were, but I did encounter one of them back when I was still sixteen.It was around that age I started my hunt."...Clean."Unlike last time, I made sure that there would be no witnesses during the whole act. As for the three corpses behind me, I laid their backs on the wall and made sure to throw some substances to make it rot faster. Even though I knew for sure that it would smell, as long as there aren't any evidence pointing that I did it, it should be fine.Plus, I already made sure that the CCTVs around the area are destroyed earlier before I did the deed. And also, there are only few people who pass by this area. Meaning, the possibility of

"Yo! William!"Startled, William tensed up, his tail wiggling cutely as he eagerly turned around. Upon spotting me, his expression lit up, his chin raised with enthusiasm."Vallen! Long time no see!" he greeted, the corners of his lips curling upward.Amused, I closed my eyes for a brief second, shook my shoulders, and settled into the chair across from him. I signaled the waitress to take my order."So, what have you been up to lately?" I turned my attention back to William. He leaned back comfortably and responded with a soft hum."Mostly family business, and the rest of my time is spent hanging out with my girlfriend," he said, a hint of smugness in his tone.I rolled my eyes at his response and sighed. "Yeah, right. I'm getting jealous.""Liar," he retorted, pursing his lips. "Your expression clearly says the opposite. Anyway, how's your eyes? I thought you wouldn't be able to see.""Ah... Well, let's save that question and enjoy the snack first!"As my order arrived, he let the m
