I Am The Game's Villain

"Hey, Jarvis."

[...]

"Jarvis!"

I punched the screen in front of me.

[Who's Jarvis?]

"Guess?"

I snorted at his obvious question.

[Is that my name?]

Jarvis asked. Though his voice seemed genderless and emotionless, I could feel a hint of surprise right now.

"Yeah, so be grateful. I had to rack my brain the whole night to find you a suitable name. Pretty unique, right?"

[You have my thanks, Edward.]

"Don't fret over it."

I smiled, holding back my laugh.

I mean when thinking about an artificial intelligence who would help you, isn't Jarvis the first name coming into anyone's mind?

"Anyway, is there a shop in my system?"

[System? This is not a 'system']

"The heck? Isn't that the famous trope, reincarnation in a game as the Villain?"

[You are taking this too easily, Edward. The person who brought you here clearly has an objective in his mind.]

"I know that. All humans had a part of selfishness in them and that guy had a big part of it."

I said and sighed.

"So there is no shop, huh. A shame. I thought I could buy cheat items and rule the world."

[As I said, you're taking this too easily, Edward. From my data, this world is an extremely dangerous world.]

"Are you really a robot…?"

[It's exactly the sixth time you are asking me this question.]

"Well, you are really speaking like a human, that's why."

[I was created by a great scientist.]

"A scientist huh."

I was really getting curious now. He knew about Ephera, he had a link with the game [Princess and Dragon] which was the game that Ephera bought…

"!"

I raised my body from the bed like someone who got electrocuted.

It was Ephera who bought that game…

She told me someone advised her that game.

But what's the connection between Ephera, that game and that guy….?

-Knock! -Knock!

"Young master."

The voice of my butler outside brought me out of my thoughts.

"I'm too busy."

I shook my head and stood up.

[You mean sleeping?]

"Yeah."

I put on a suit, a big size, of course, and came out as a dignified son of the Duke. As I got down the stairs, I saw a new familiar face.

It was someone of my age. With brown hair and red eyes was Simon Falkrona. Edward's foster brother. His father was close to Thomen Falkrona so when his father died, Thomen chose to adopt him. As for why I knew this, it was because Simon was one of the side characters and friend of the [Main Protagonist].

Since Edward was a [Major Antagonist], his foster brother, Simon would become a great ally of the Protagonist to 'save' his foster brother Edward. By saving I obviously meant killing the hell out of him. After killing his foster brother, Simon would become shamelessly the Heir of the Falkrona Dukedom. As for his foster sister, Edward's blood sister, she will become a member of the Protagonist's never-ending harem because, YES, Elona Falkrona is sub-Heroine of the First Game!

Now that I remember that, it really disgusts me. I couldn't help but think that as I saw Simon and Elona talking to each other happily, ignoring me. Both plotted to kill Edward in the game and will from now on as well. I really had no allies in this world. Even my family was against me.

"Brother."

Simon called me with a conflicted expression.

"I'm not your brother and you don't consider me as a brother, so stop acting, it's disgusting."

"..."

Simon was speechless at my arrogant and cold tone. When speaking to Simon, Edward always acted like a spoiled child, jealous of him after all.

Elona was again glaring at me. Look at her, getting spoiled by her foster brother.

[It's because of you.]

'It's not me!'please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

I somehow managed to send my thoughts telepathically. As expected of a system.

[Yes, but your sister and brother think it's still you right now. You can't blame them. Also, I'm not a system.]

"They aren't my sister and brother then. I don't care about strangers."

I closed the discussion with Jarvis and looked at Simon.

"What?"

Simon sighed and stepped aside. My eyes fell on a tall man walking with elegance. He shared the same grey hair as me and the same grey eyes as Elona. It was Edward's father, Thomen Falkrona.

'Headache incoming.'

Thomen stopped in front of me and eyed me from head to toe.

"The Royal Princess has canceled the engagement."

"Yeah."

I shrugged my shoulders.

This time, even my father was surprised at my attitude because Edward acted like a scared kitten in front of him but again, I wasn't Edward.

"Are you aware of what we lost? What you have lost."

"No."

I could see Thomen's face slowly distorting in anger.

"Words cannot express my disappointment. I believed in you. I believed you would change. You should have taken example from your brother and sister."

"They are not my brother and sister."

I said while articulating each of my words.

"And you are not my fathe-"

-Slap!

I couldn't even finish as Thomen slapped my cheeks. It was strong and so sudden that I lost my balance. Well, with that huge body, no wonder!

Elona and Simon were shocked at Thomen's slap.

-Thud

I fell on my butt.

My gaze was lowered. I was staring at the ground. I had to look at the ground. If I looked at that man, I might lose control and attack him after all. But again, can I even scratch him?

I laughed weakly at my powerlessness.

My strange, weak laugh echoed in the silent entrance hall.

I stood up and patted my clothes. Then I headed to the wooden door leading outside the mansion.

"Where are you goin-"

"I'm leaving this shitty house."

pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ "Edward."

Thomen called out to me in a chilling tone.

"You have no right to stop me."

I answered without looking at him. Memories of the game flashed in my mind. I don't why now, but it came in my mind. Edward Falkrona was the worst human being of the game. His life had taken the wrong turn when his mother died. His mother was the person he loved the most in the world. It was at that exact moment that Thomen Falkrona adopted Simon. When Edward needed his father most, Thomen chose to spoil the child of his friend.

But people would ask then why Elona Falkrona, his sister of the same age didn't end up twisted like Edward. It was because Edward wasn't completely kind-hearted even when his mother was alive, like Elona.

I'm not defending Edward, but right now, strangely, my feelings have started to blend with Edward's.

"Since you love that guy so much, make him your new heir. I am abandoning my status as the Heir of the Falkrona house."

"""!"""

Thomen, Simon and Elona were utterly shocked at my words.

"Yeah, I don't need family or annoying status."

"Broth-"

I left the mansion and nobody tried to stop me. All the workers looked at me in shock as well.

"Look, Jarvis. Not a single person is stopping me or seeing me off. I bet they are happier than ever."

I laughed.

[Isn't that obvious?]

"Shut up."

[What will you do, Edward? You abandoned your status, you have no money and the academy starts in a month. Thankfully, you are already registered, so you can start the academy without a problem, but you need to survive this month.]

"Don't worry, Jarvis. I have a plan."

I smiled confidently but sweated buckets inwardly.
