As of now, both me and Wendy are walking through the outskirts of the forest.
'Now this was awkward.'
Both of us was not talking, literally we didn't even talk while getting some woods.
And up until now, both of us was still not speaking anything at all.
'Should I break this silence?'
I know she's a npc and maybe one of the students who will also die in the future arc, but....Right now she's a human just like me.
"Hey Housebell."
"Eek-!"
'Looks like I startled her.'
"Y-Yes?"
"Though this was kind of awkward since this was the first time we're meeting but, may I ask how is your life in the past years?"
[Now that was a dumb question master]
{Host your human interaction was really the worst.}
(A/N: {} these will be the monologue for the system.)
'Ohh please shut up both of you.'
Wendy just looked at me dumbfoundly yet she still answered my question.
"Umm...To be honest my life was just simple. I am an orphan."
"...."
I just stayed silent for a few moment and she continued.
"I am born within the nothern part of the empire, which was ruled by the Valentines...Which was your reigning place sir Edward."
"Ohh really?"
She nods at me.
"Yes, The orphanage was run by a kind elderly man, alongside it was my sisters and brothers whom despite having no blood relation, feels more family to me."
'I also knew how that felt, but I can't say it to her.'
In my past life, I've also come to love those little kids as my siblings, even the sisters and the guardian of my orphanage as my parental support.
'It was all my fault though..on why that fate got bestowed upon them.'
Seeing me silent she still continued.
"I am already contented with my life, it's just that...I also dream to be a help for the empire as a [Support Mage] and to also pay the debts of my orphanage."
'She was the same as Franklin yet different'
Franklin was a blacksmith that has a huge impact for the story....While she was only a npc who will be forgotten in the story.
I once thought this in all my lives, if I ever became a side character...Will I find peace?
The world was cruel for those it didn't cherish that was for sure.
Villains are honestly lucky to get the world's attention, don't mention the protagonists.
But for a npc life was basically bland and lifeless, it was as if they always live for the verdict of others. No control over their life.
Sacrificial Lambs
Npc
Extras
and many more names.
'But this world wasn't the game now.'
Despite having Alex as the main protagonists. That doesn't mean that everyone was not alive.
Rather every single being here was alive right now.
This was a new life I will cherish....
"I'll try to visit your orphanage some time...And I will also eliminate the loan sharks in the northern region of the empire."
"!??"
"You told me an interesting story sooo think of this as a reward."
Drip-!
Her tears fell towards her beautiful face..Though her beauty wasn't as eye catching as the heroines but it will give you a sense of softness and will make you protect it.
"T-Thank You."
"You're Welcome."
I've already said this once, I won't be living as a villain...I will live my own way.
I'm not going to be bound by something once again.
'Never Again...'
I'm not a good person that's for sure... I'm a disgusting human.
But I will try to be better as a human being for once.
I still recalled my past as the Endless Night Demon Emperor.
***
A figure of a man with long black hair and violet eyes that was covered by pure darkness was currently standing at the top of corpses.
Multitude of corpse was can be seen all of whom lost vitality, soul and even their 'Will'.
"I've already absorbed every single entity right now."
The man said while looking at a distant sky that was covered with shades of Darkness that was darker than black.
"Why don't you all come out now?"
As he said those words multitude of beings came out of the clouds.
"You beast why don't you just give up!!"
Screamed by one of the beings in the sky only to be answered coldly by the man.
"Why should I?"
"!!!"
"I still didn't absorbed every single being in [Forbidden Realm] so why should I?"
Despite having a calm voice, it sends shivers and fear towards the beings in the sky.
"Are you trying to destroy the [Forbidden Realm]!"
"And what if it was my plan?"
"Y-You monster!!"
Screamed by the man leading the beings in the sky.
"Your getting annoying."
Suddenly the black haired man's eye glowed purple and an invisible streak of line came out of his eyes.
"WHAT!?"
BOOM!!!
The man managed to dodge but the one's behind him didn't.
SPLAT-!!!
Disgustingly enough their bodies exploded and it didn't even took a second for the man to slay the beings.
It produced balls of light that only the man can see.
Shiver!!
"I guess it's time to eat again."
The black haired man said while smiling and he raised his hand and absorbed those balls of light that entered his body.
[Ding!]
[You have successfully absorbed...]
[You have successfully...]
[....]
[....]
Multitude of transparent screens came popping out in the side of his night like eyes.
"Now that was tasty."
"!!!"
After complimenting his 'Food' the man said a few words.
"Come out [Broken Star]."
DUAMM!!!
The man said while an elegant black sword appeared within his hand.
"You!!!! Your GOING TO DIEEE!!!"
"It's been only a minute when someone said that to me."
"!!"
"And they all die..."
His words are calm yet cold at the same time, his tone was the same as a human saying the truth without an ounce of lie.
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!??"
"Particularly no reason...But once I tasted my first 'food', I can't get enough of it~."
The man said while remembering a huge golden dragon.
"Who wouldn't want to taste such a delicacy...It became addicting to me that I can't stop my cravings."
The man continued with a sinister smile plastered on his handsome face.
"ROARRRRR-!!!, YOUR GOING TO DIEEE!!!"
Suddenly a huge multi colored scale dragon roared within the sky.
It was huge eastern dragon with multitude of colors within its scales yet it's former calm eyes was already replaced with madness.
"Oh-ho~, aren't you the brother of that dragon?"
The black haired man continued.
"I must say your brother was a delicacy, I wonder who was the tastier~"
"YOU BASTARD!!! ROARRRRRR!!!!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THAT'S IT..... LET ME FEEL YOUR RAGE, AGONY, AND DESPAIR!!!"
And thus the long war once again happened on which the black haired man won and gained all of the powers of the beings that battled him.
[ENDLESS NIGHT DEMON EMPEROR]
A name the whole once peaceful forbidden realm won't forget.....If the forbidden realm was still in existence that is.
***
*Back to present*
'I won't use that power once again, it will only make me to someone I once was....And I don't wan to be like that anymore.'
During my past in the Forbidden Realm, I've always used that power I've awaken inside of me, without bothering the consequences of being consumed by my desires.
That power made me so powerful, with the help of devouring those beings in the forbidden realm, I literally devoured them all in a span of uncountable years.
The consequences of using that power was full on corrosion of my body and soul. It corrodes me to the point that only my greed, gluttony and avarice was the one's that was making me feel 'alive', it was full on devouring of my sanity and humanity.
But despite making me all powerful.....
'I won't use it again.'
Never again.
