Waking up every morning was already a pain. Waking in pain was something else entirely. They say life is always unpredictable. Hah, never being more in agreement with something in my life.
Now I can't talk for long so I will just give you the facts and nothing else.
Waking in a new world wasn't as shocking as finding out that i am at very bortom of the bottom. My first kill was so insignificant it's not worth mentioning. So lets start with the killing of my boss.
Bro. Hear me out. Yes I admit that i wasn't treating you as well i should have. Well no shit,Sherlock. I was in the slumps and killed my way up. So far, I just kill my competition and this son of a bitch just comes and condemn me. Shouting some religious BS. As if he isn't the worst of us all. Becoming the second in command wasn't to be belittle by him or anyone. Killing him wasn't near as difficult as dismantling and rebuild the gang so they follow me. After the whole ordeal that took me years. I was confronted by a man. Not once in a million years would I believe would act as someone else pawn. It just wasn't something I could wrap my head around.
The newest pawn of Duke Mendez ,my current target, was the God blessed Hero. Bitch of a duke wuss out after I bomb his mansion and took over take majority of his territory. Since his daughter is in the hero party, he must have figured to tags in the hero.
What was more infuriating was the hero putting me and some Demon lord in the same league. If he thinks taking on THE TOP crime lord would be easier than a demon lord. He is in for a reality check. Bastard, I am not a warm-up.
Before things got serious a show of might is fine, right? I started off just trying to kill just them. A little poisoning that cover a whole village water veins. Bombing an entire inn and starting a fire that would later be recorded as the biggest seen in a non-time of war and gasoline some of the heroes party but nothing work. They were quickly becoming akin to rabid dogs that wouldn't let go of their prey. Hah, me, prey? What a sad joke.
So gloves come off.
I retaliate by sending them each, minus the hero, a decapitated head of someone that was close to them or an acquaintance after they killed some of my men.
I later was told the hero in particular was enraged seeing his entire party, compromise of women, crying. Heh, a harem for a party. It would be a laughable joke if they weren't as skilled and deadly as they were beautiful.
MAN was I jealous!!
Still the presence of the Demon lord was a sword of damocles looming over our heads. Bet, that horned bastard was having a field day, seeing ME and the hero have at it. I was right. He would later offered me a position among his ranks. I would had accepted if he didn't planned to put in charge of the dead and undead. His retaliation would prove to be both helpful and terrifying.
The massacre of house Mendez shock everyone in the kingdom. It was so macabre. Since I am a dignified person. I sat down the hero alone for dinner at my favorite restaurant. I introduced myself again and listed where everyone he cared about was. Unfortunately I killed some of the staff when he tried something. When he threatened me that he could kill right now regardless. I mentioned that four bomb detonators were strap to my wrist. Who knows what they might blow up. If he is curious to find out, I could take one off. He stops me, glaring at me. I shrug. Being handsome was my heaviest crime. I continue eating my tacos. He demands what this is all about. I told him that he owes me money and more. That typically, I would kill him. But lucky for him taking on the demon lord was not in my bucket lists. I was going easy so far.
EASY??!! He roars. The walls shake and windows break. I stop my people from killing a staff member. Ghost, Martin didn't I tell you to take the day off? I directed my gaze to the hero and calmly explained that we are wasting time with our game and that his real mission should be taking down the demon lord. I told him if he wants he could walk away right now, we could pretend this game of ours never happened and that's that. He thinks for a long time while I ask for drinks. I ask him if he drinks? He says he doesn't. I told him, he will today. He promised a truce at most. I frown, thinking some more about it. I nodded and pour some power into his drink Infront of him. I told him to drink it. He hesitantly does and falls asleep. I paid for the food and left.
The time on my way to my mansion i spent thinking on how to contact the king. Later that day, my goons asked me why I didn't kill the hero already. I replied that taking on a Demon lord is a hero's job and not mine. I don't do charity work.
Do you think he will back off.
Nah. He will be back for round two later, maybe. Let's make sure. we can give him a gift from the bottom of our hearts anytime. Bring me his family. UNHARMED. After some honest scheming, I got some of his family to work as servants in my major.
The king was a dead end. No matter what I say or offered. All he wanted was my head. I lost several managers. In the end I had to rally behind one the of the princes and slaughter the rest. It was difficult. The king was a Fucking pain in the ass to the end. I thwarted several assassination against my prince. There was several Fucking problems that old bastard throw at us that we stated a coup d'état. I become the new archduke as the hero killed the demon lord.
The coronation and the banquet in honor of the hero were a joint event. Though the batard didn't stop starting me the whole time. His party face when I was made the archduke was priceless.
The next day at my new mansion. Just as I was enjoying my duke status and just being a winner in general. An old acquaintance storms into my major. I was livid that someone dared to force his way in. It was the hero saying that now, with no demon lord, he can solely focus on me. This man was as clingy as they come. I am no longer a mere criminal. I am noble, and he just gave me a reason to legally kill him. He says a criminal is always a criminal. I saw red. I signal my crew to bring me the "gifts." It was hell having to face him and his party. I swear to kill those slowpes. I breath a sigh of relief when I finally saw them. But the same couldn't be said for him. His eyes widen when he sees them, and I order him to disarm himself. After he does, bullets rained down on him. He falls, and since I don't take risks, I have his body dismember and burned. I gave his fake ashes to his family and fired them. His party suffered defeat and forced into the red district. I demanded the king pay me compensation for slyly pitting me against the hero. As well as random for his sister in the hero party. After all anyone who claims her has a stake at the thorne. He hasty pays me.
Having being the one to come on top in my struggle with the hero carry more weight than I thought. No one mess with me after that. Time past, i went into the afterlife from old age. Huh, you're asking how I am telling you this if I am dead? Well fate wasn't quite done with me yet. See there's an old story associated with my name. Some heavenly bastard must have wanted to get a kick out of my name. At least they reunited me with my crew who went ahead into hell. Now, like just always we were about to tangle with the inferno higher power. Just like that man did before me for my name is Dante and this is my inferno.
