Chapter 3 Thunder roared above them as the sky darkened, interrupted only by the occasional boom of lightning; all other sounds seemed muted. Minutes passed, filled with screams as bodies rained down, wounds exchanged, and lives lost. True to his name as the Demon Prince, Mo Fan killed without mercy—men and women who had come to end him met their own demise instead. Finally, after what felt like ages, only two figures remained standing in the sky. One, his mech armor destroyed by the repeated blows of a brute-force Cultivator, was left with one eye bloody and ruined, blood trickling down his cheek, his left arm half-severed, and his breath labored. The other had only minor injuries and a cold, calm expression. The first was Mo Fan, his eyes darkening as thunder rumbled above; the second, Bruce Chen. “Finally, it’s just you and me now, Bruce,” Mo Fan said, gripping his sword tightly. His barely functional hand held the Ball of Greed. “My mother treated you and your mother well. I took you as a brother, a friend, and a sworn sibling. But you and your mother not only betrayed me—you took away the one thing I called family.” Just saying those words made Mo Fan tremble with anger. Only revenge could quench the fire in his heart. He’d already killed everyone else who had wronged him, and Bruce Chen was the last. If his mother hadn’t died of natural causes, he would have killed her the same way his own mother was murdered. Hearing this, Bruce Chen didn’t react; his eyes remained calm, as still as a lake, devoid of emotion. Mo Fan, unwilling to speak further, dashed toward him, his weary body pushing to its limit. But in an instant, Bruce Chen vanished, leaving no trace of his aura. “Thousand Illusion Step…” Mo Fan gritted his teeth as the thought flashed through his mind. It was a high-grade technique his mother had gifted Bruce the day before they both left for Heaven’s Suppression Sect, worth over a thousand gold coins. Mo Fan’s frustration grew as blood loss dulled his senses, his face pale, his mecha armor in ruins, forcing him to return to the ground. Suddenly, a chill crept up behind him as the sound of swirling air drew near. Instinctively, Mo Fan swung his sword backward but hit nothing but air, throwing him off balance. With this opening, Bruce slashed forward, his sword slicing Mo Fan’s calf. Blood sprayed as Mo Fan stumbled, hatred flashing in his eyes. That weapon was his father’s glaive, never meant for Bruce. He had killed his father, framed Mo Fan, and ran with his mother, leaving Mo Fan to face the relentless pursuit alone. A sudden realization struck Mo Fan as he realises he didn't have a chance to survive, and he began to laugh maniacally. With his barely usable hand, he grabbed the Ball of Greed hanging from his waist and lifted it. “Hahaha, Bruce, you want this too, don’t you? How did I not see it before? You’re human, after all, and humans can’t resist power and long life!” “Hmph…” Bruce didn’t reply but lunged at Mo Fan, the glaive aimed straight for his heart. Mo Fan’s battered body and severed leg gave him no room to evade. Feeling the blade pierce his heart and twist, forcing blood from his mouth, his grip on his sword loosened, and it clanged to the ground. “Demons like you have no right to question me,” Bruce said coldly, looking down at Mo Fan as life faded from his eyes. But suddenly, Mo Fan smirked. For the first time, Bruce panicked. Mo Fan’s other hand, holding the Ball of Greed, brought it to his mouth, and he swallowed it. Seeing this, Bruce’s expression changed. “You fool!” “Haha… boom…” With a weak smile, Mo Fan muttered and gave his final command to the fallen sword. It was a magical blade, and it turned bright red before exploding. Mo Fan’s vision faded, yet he relished seeing Bruce panic. Though he hadn’t killed him by hand, watching that arrogant face lose composure was satisfaction enough. ••• With the explosion, Mo Fan expected to be dead. Although he’d never experienced it, he thought his consciousness would cease to exist. But instead, he felt sharp pain shooting through his body, causing his unfamiliar heart to skip. Had he really survived the blast? Struggling to breathe, Mo Fan forced himself to take a deep breath, slowly opening his blurry eyes. Confused, he realized he was seeing through two eyes instead of one. He remembered losing an eye in the fight. Afraid Bruce Chen was still nearby, he didn’t dwell on it and looked around—only to be hit with a jolt of realization. “W... Where am I?” he muttered, his lips dry, as surprise and shock widened his eyes while he takes in his surroundings in shock. Around him were shards of what looked like shattered glass, and he lay atop a building unlike anything he’d ever encountered. “Is this... the afterlife?” he whispered, a bit surprised while struggling to sit up as pain coursed through his body and his breathing barely helping him. Just then, a different pain shot through his mind, dizzying him as he fell back, clutching his head. This wasn't too much for him who has gotten his his bones broken and continue fighting to call pain so he grit his teeth and endured it. "Argh..." Suddenly, odd memories flooded his mind—experiences foreign to him, fragments of a different life. One which he will never have dare to imagine exist. After what felt like hours, he finally calmed down and sat in silence, holding his head. Right then, his emotions couldn't be described, shock, disbelief, surprised, denial, horror and so on flashes across him face throughout that period and finally_ “A new life?” he muttered, not in Mandarin, but English, the new language gotten from the body. The memories showed him this body belonged to a so-called retired mercenary who’d been bribed and experimented on by the very company that owned the building he lay on. These experiments made the former owner faster, stronger, and sharper, turning him into a perfect killing machine for the company’s missions. Throughout his life, the previous body’s owner never failed a mission, but eventually retired, working as a janitor here with no more people to kill for the company. One piece of information in these memories stood out. “System?”

Edited By: Bruce Williams Chapter 5"This isn’t right," Mo Fan thought, his mind racing.In the memories of this body’s previous owner, the woman now chewing on her colleagues had been rational, composed, and ordinary. Yet now, she was a grotesque shadow of her former self—eyes clouded, irises lost in a milky white void, and blood smeared across her mouth and chin. Flesh dangled from her teeth like ragged threads, her expression vacant and feral, stripped of any humanity.A flicker of recollection from both his own world and the memories he’d inherited bubbled to the surface.“A zombie?” he muttered with faint curiosity. In the former owner's world, zombies were mere myths—fictional horrors on screen. But in his experience, they were all too real, though rarely seen in such a deranged state.The woman’s chewing ceased, her head jerking up sharply, her lifeless eyes zeroing in on him as if having sense a living being. Her body snapped to attention like a marionette yanked by invisible

Edited By: Bruce Williams Chapter 6Finally steadying himself, Mo Fan let out a slow breath, his gaze shifting to the shattered windows of the skyscraper. As he looked down at the city, what he saw sharply contrasted with the memories he’d inherited. The bustling metropolis was no more; charred cars lay abandoned and destroyed along the roads, their metal twisted, with smoke and flames clawing at the sky from multiple points. Most buildings lay in ruins, their frames barely recognizable, and the air was thick with swirling, yellowish particles, stinging his eyes and burning his lungs. Breathing in this poisoned atmosphere felt like swallowing ash.Mo Fan’s eyes narrowed, a hint of wonder beneath his usually steely gaze. He hadn’t anticipated that these so-called nuclear bombs would ravage the city to such an extent. The destruction was absolute, a haunting picture of human ambition laid to waste. And now, the undead_ zombies had risen, turning this world of mortals into a hellscape,

Edited By: Bruce Williams Chapter 7Maverick stood motionless, his gaze fixed on the hologram before him, processing the information displayed with a mixture of disbelief and fascination. It was as though he could grasp the meaning of the words before him and yet, a veil of incomprehension lingered over it all."Why does this remind me of the Ball of Greed?" he murmured, almost to himself.Memories flooded back, dark and vivid, of the ruthless path he’d walked to pursue that forbidden power. Driven by a singular ambition, he’d sacrificed countless lives to create it. The Ball of Greed—an artifact so potent that even the self-proclaimed righteous heroes had hidden behind moral facades, claiming they sought justice, when, in reality, they coveted its strength.According to the ancient, forbidden text where he’d uncovered its secrets, the Ball of Greed possessed only two abilities, but each was unparalleled in their world. The first was the power to absorb energy—whether life force or d

Edited By: Bruce Williams Chapter 8Maverick's face was expressionless, his eyes cold with a look of indifferent as he squared off with the two male 'couples' zombies. Both were hunched, jaws slack, with trails of dark, thick drool dripping from their cracked lips. Their dried, exposed muscles twitched as they lunged at him, each move desperate to sink their jagged teeth into his flesh.Swoosh!In a smooth, practiced motion, Maverick sidestepped the first zombie’s attack. His body moved with a smooth transition, a knife flashing in each hand. Before the creature could react, he drove his left knife cleanly under its chin, the blade piercing through the roof of its mouth and into its brain. The zombie froze, its body momentarily suspended in his grip as blood and white brain matter seeped down the steel. With a quick jerk, he withdrew the knife and let the lifeless body crumple to the floor.The second zombie snarled, its hollow eyes wild as it lunged forward, clawing at him. Maveric

Second Coming Of A Villain Chapter 10: Fighting Mutated Zombie Tom
Maverick was taken aback. He had encountered reanimated corpses before, but never had he seen one rise so quickly. In his old world, the undead required time—a death steeped in months of lingering Yin energy or the result of a demonic ritual requiring the barter of a soul. Both processes took weeks, if not months. Yet here stood Tom—or Tommy, whatever his name was—barely two minutes since death had claimed him, already upright and unnervingly animated.The snap of Tom’s head jerked clumsily in Maverick’s direction, his murky white eyes locking onto him with unnatural intensity. What was more alarming was the hatred emanating from him. It wasn’t the mindless rage of a zombie but something more... personal. The grudge Tom bore from his life had intensified, surging into an almost palpable killing intent.Maverick’s lips twitched into a faint, wary smirk. "This world is full of surprises," he muttered, his voice low and unruffled.Tom made no reply—perhaps he couldn’t. Instead, his head
Second Coming Of A Villain Chapter 11: Tom's Death
Roarrrrrr!The guttural scream echoed through the confined space as the mutated zombie, Tom, slammed his grotesque frame into the reinforced walls. Maverick braced himself, his body taut as steel as he absorbed the shockwave of the creature's raw power. The impact hurled him backward, crashing him into the remaining glass wall of the lounge. Shards splintered around him, the jagged edges scraping his skin as he slid to the floor.Without hesitation, Maverick kicked off against the glass, using the momentum to propel himself laterally. He rolled across the ground just as a razor-sharp tongue speared through the air, impaling the spot he'd vacated mere seconds earlier.Maverick did not pause. His body moved with mechanical precision, every motion a calculated response to impending death. He surged toward Tom's room, slipping inside and slamming the door shut behind him.Bang!The door shuddered violently under a massive impact. Maverick barely managed to stagger back as the zombie force

Chapter 46: Going Back To The Tech Company
Grabbing the beast core, Maverick didn’t hesitate to absorb it. He knew time was of the essence. In his current weakened state, any beast daring to stride into Sabertooth territory had to be either incredibly powerful or at least on equal footing with the apex predator. If such a creature stumbled upon him in such a frail and vulnerable state, it would snap him in half and devour him in one bite without hesitation.Giving a swift mental command to his biolens, Maverick initiated the absorption process. His eyes fixed on his palm as faint energy began to seep from the beast core, flowing into him. Slowly, the vibrant hues of the core dimmed, its once radiant luster fading entirely. Within seconds, Maverick had drawn out all the energy it held.A chilling sensation coursed through his arm, spreading from his palm to his chest, then directly to his heart, before dispersing into his limbs. The pain in his body dulled, replaced by a cool, soothing comfort. Unable to suppress the reaction,

Chapter 45: Gravely injured
The knife stabbed into the Sabertooth’s chin, upward, dealing deadly damage to the vascular structures and soft tissues in the neck and throat region.This led to excessive bleeding as the carotid arteries—major arteries supplying blood to the brain, face, and neck—were severed. The rupture or puncture of the carotid artery caused rapid and severe bleeding, but that alone wasn’t enough to put the beast down. What sealed its fate was the damage to the jugular veins, large veins that return deoxygenated blood from the head and neck to the heart. The damage caused significant bleeding as well.However, due to its incredibly high vitality, the Sabertooth didn’t die immediately. It continued struggling violently for a while, before finally going limp.[Ding!]Hearing the notification, Maverick felt as though he’d finally escaped the depths of hell.[Congratulations, you've eliminated a peak Gamma-3 Sabertooth. 10 Energy Points Extracted.]Maverick didn’t even glance at the notification.

Suddenly, a glowing orange paw appeared behind Maverick. He instinctively sidestepped, but it was a fraction too late. The paw swiped across his back, leaving a deep gash that sent blood spraying into the air.Maverick gritted his teeth against the searing pain. He couldn't believe how lightning-fast the Sabertooth's reaction speed was. Its attacks came in relentless waves, offering no reprieve—completely unlike the partially mutated zombie, which always needed a short pause before attacking again.Without a moment to spare, Maverick rolled to his side and turned, only to find the Sabertooth’s massive paw already arcing toward his face. Knowing fully well that the attack can smash his face to pulp, Maverick quick reflexes kicked in. Quickly raising his twin axes, he crossed them in front of him in a desperate defensive posture.BANG!The force of the blow slammed into him like a freight train, sending shockwaves through his body and crushing his internal organs.

As the creature swiped, he sidestepped fluidly, evading the attack with practiced ease.Without hesitation, he grabbed the zombie by its filthy, matted hair and slammed its head against the concrete wall with a force that shook the foundation.Pop!The sound was sickening, like the shattering of an overripe watermelon. Blood and brain matter exploded outward, splattering the wall in a grotesque display. Maverick didn’t even blink at the mess. He was already scanning his surroundings, his eyes locking onto three more zombies shambling toward him.Two of the undead were horribly disfigured, their flesh partially melted from what appeared to be fire damage.

Bang!Dust and debris shot skyward in a violent plume as the ground trembled beneath Maverick’s feet. The force of the impact rippled outward, spreading cracks like a spiderweb across the concrete.Rumble!With a deafening roar, the compromised section of the garage collapsed. The structural pillar, weakened and barely holding on, gave way entirely. Hundreds of zombies caught beneath the rubble were obliterated. Flesh and bones were crushed into indistinguishable pulp under the immense weight of falling rocks and twisted metal rods.Maverick didn’t wait to marvel at the destruction as the cracks reaches his side. He instinctively retreated deeper into the garage, his boots scraping against the unsteady ground. The section he moved to had been spared collapse, its supporting pillar still intact and holding firm.Standing at the edge of safety, Maverick’s gaze swept over the carnage.

"No," Maverick replied, shutting his eyes as he tried to absorb the large amount of information he had just received. It was overwhelming for him; he never expected the power levels of this world to be so complicated and intricate.Not only were the materials needed to break through to the next level hard to obtain, but even if one managed to gather them, there was still the chance of dying in the process, turning insane, or worse—mutating into a grotesque creature.Unlike in his world, where one only had to guard against developing an inner demon while cultivating, the challenges of this world were far more intense.Sighing in frustration and exhaustion, Maverick quickly turned his attention to the skills he had just unlocked as he massage his eyebrows.
