I Am The Game's Villain



"Ugh…" I held my head feeling a wave of nausea after getting teleported to the 40th floor. Since I got teleported from the ground floor to the 40th floor suddenly, I felt sick. It was just a normal reaction for people like me who didn't go often to Enigma Dungeon.

Which wasn't the case for Layla, Alfred and Eric who were used to the Enigma Dungeon. I would have as well if I hadn't cloistered myself inside the mansion for nearly ten years.

"Where are the others?" A girl from Alfred's class, Shannon asked. The other groups also stepped in the same circle as us after all but-

"We were all sent off to different parts of the fortieth floor at the beginning. Someone along with our teachers must be very knowledgeable about spells and circles." Alfred muttered.

He is right.

Changing tiny bits of the circle's formula is not the level of a beginner so that guy must have learned the way of the spells and circles in Sancta Vedelia or he might even be native from Sancta Vedelia.

"That's rather fortunate for us," Eric said. "We can learn about each other and elaborate a plan."

"Yes I agree." Alfred nodded.

"If His Highness agrees then so am I!" Layla added with a charming smile directed toward Alfred.

Not good.

Around Alfred, her brain enters a dead-state mode.

I wish she would stop trying to flirt with Alfred with her provoking sensual voice and movements as the other three guys in our groups are only focused on Layla!

I looked around me and as expected Liart wasn't there. He was probably not far away from us to not bother or involve more than necessary. 

Thank god, I don't have to see his annoying face.

"Okay, I will start." Alfred spoke up and took the leadership.

By the way, I didn't care that he was the leader, rather I was grateful since I won't have to make up plans and trail away from my initial thoughts about the Event.

[Not like you would have made good plans in the first place.]

I ignored Jarvis and listened.

"I'm using the Archangel Michael's Legacy. I'm fast and can use light based magic." Alfred resumed his good points in a few words.

Archangel Michael.

He was the Supreme Leader of the guardians of Eden.

As a matter of fact, Milleia inherited the bloodline of Raphiel who was said to be the First Goddess appeared from Eden's part. Her identity differs all around the world as some said that she was the Goddess who gave birth to the Archangels and another one that she was Eden's daughter or maybe both.

Anyway, I think everyone can now understand how much Milleia is important for everyone in Celesta. She is important but she is not monitored heavily as she is not really threatened by others because only a few people know about Milleia's bloodline but there was also another reason. Milleia wasn't the only one who inherited Raphiel's bloodline. There was another one before her and this one was heavily monitored.

| My eyes turned toward Layla who was pestering Alfred with a happy smile.

Yeah.

Layla had also inherited Raphiel's bloodline. When she was born, everyone felt that Layla was special. She inherited Raphiel's bloodline but also had the ancestry Legacy of the Tarmias House. You could say that she had two Legacies but it was different since Raphiel's bloodline was directly inherited by her and no one else before except Milleia. Also, Layla didn't awaken Raphiel's bloodline and will not awaken it since to awaken it she had to interact and fall in love with Jayden who was the Apostle of Lumen and one of the six chosen of Eden.

In summary, Jayden had to take the Villainess' route which was impossible and would never happen as we are already a few months before the end of the Game. That's why I was insisting on hooking up Jayden with Milleia. Together, they will be nearly invincible as they are blessed by Eden in person.

There was only one thing bothering me and it was Alfred not showing any interest toward Layla. 

No.

I could tell that he had a degree of love toward Layla but the hic was that he was head over heels for Milleia. What I was fearing was Layla snapping and turning evil like in the Game. The following events won't be nice either. John will never leave his sister alone and neither will their father. Layla's fall into depravity was really one of the worst Arc I had to do. 

"Hm?" Layla who felt my gaze turned toward me. I was ready to receive one of her tricks to tease or use me to make Alfred jealous but surprisingly she did nothing like that and just resumed pestering Alfred.

"Next Eric." Alfred quickly spoke to escape from Layla.

Eric nodded. "Yes. I have a strong build and I can send blasts of energy. I could also repel some powerful attacks thanks to Ares' Legacy.

"Then me, now." Layla said with a smile. "I am using Fire-Based techniques thanks to Lady Hecate's blessing." As she finished, Layla snapped her finger and a dark red fire flickered on her finger like on a candle. 

Layla's fire was not like everyone's fire like mine. She inherited Hecate's bloodline and Hecate was a Witch-Goddess. In other words, Layla was using witchcraft. In her family, she was the only one who could use witchcraft as John's fire was different even though strong as well.

Then the others also explained their ability which had nothing amazing like Alfred's, Eric's and Layla's Legacies.

"And you?" Alfred asked me with a poorly hidden curiosity. He knew that I could use Falkrona's Bloodline's abilities but he didn't not know about-

I shrugged and opened my palm. Purple fire sputtered out tainint the surrounding in a mystical purple color.

"""Wowww…""""

"That's all. Like Layla, I can use Fire." I said simply but of course it wasn't that simple. I had inherited Vysindra's Fire who was a terrible enemy of Rhedorah Empire. 

I should really take care of those bums one day before they try to dissect me.

[Your current strength is insufficient to defend oneself against the Rhedorah Empire.]

I know.

The Redhorah Empire's intrigue appeared only in the Third Game anyway.

Not like I wanted to fight those guys now since I barely knew things about the Third Game thus them!

I should definitely ask Eric to tell me about the Third Game one of these days. 

After hearing everyone's abilities, Alfred fell in a thought before speaking. "Then alright. I will take the lead with Eric while Layla and Edward will take care of our back. Shannon and the others, you will be at the center protecting our flanks. We shouldn't move away from each other too much. Try to be close to one person in our group at least when fighting. Any questions?"

"Yes! Your Highness." Layla said and approached Alfred. "How about I switch with Eric, I don't think he will be able to shield Your Highness."

"Is Alfred a toddler?" Eric asked, a vein popping out from his forehead.

"No. But His Highness is the future, Eric, don't you remember?" Layla asked with 'hmpf'.

"Calm down." Alfred sighed in exasperation. "Layla, please listen to me." He said and put his hand on Layla's shoulder.

"Y-Yes, Your Highness." Layla immediately acquiesced with a stutter.

I watched the whole scene with a grimace.

What are the odds to end up with Alfred and Layla?!

[Do your job as the Wingman. It's now or never, Edward.]

Don't say that in a serious tone!

"Sand Hammer!" Simon shouted and the sand around him gathered to form a giant hammer above the Boxing-Kangaroo Mana Beasts.

-BOOOOM!

The six kangaroos couldn't even let out a scream before they were flattened on the ground. 

Right after the kangaroos on his side, Simon looked immediately for a peculiar girl. 

"Geyser!" Lyra waved her sublime ornamented wand and a torrent of water gushed out, knocking away at a great speed the kangaroo. The remaining water exploded in the air falling in tiny droplets of water wetting a little Lyra's curly blond hair.

"..." Simon stared at such a sight for a few seconds before waking up and walking toward Lyra. "Are you okay, Lyra?"

Lyra's sky-blue eyes shifted toward Simon. Her eyes blinked a few times before replying. "I'm fine."

"I-I see. It's a relief. Ahah." Simon awkwardly smiled.

He didn't know why but since the day Lyra stopped avoiding and cursing him, he found her more and more attractive.

"W-We should help the others," Simon shifted the topic.

"I think they are all doing fine." Lyra said and glanced at her teammates who were easily parrying the other kangaroos who were only 3☆ Beasts. They were strong beasts but since they were all fighting in groups, it was going well.

"Have you already finished guys?" Suddenly a voice called out to them from behind.

"!" Lyra reacted immediately and her body shivered.

"Oh, Carlos? So did you." Simon said as he noticed the kangaroos beaten behind Carlos.

"Nothing special Simon. More importantly…" Carlos turned his eyes toward Lyra and smiled. "We should help our mates, right Lyra?"
