The Villain Can't Lose

The next day I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. As I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the sight of the cold winter\'s sun peeking through the frosted glass. The rays of sunlight illuminated my room, casting a warm glow inside.

My eyes began to wonder through the expensive-looking furniture that had been there for a while.

The expensive bed was a sight to behold. The headboard was upholstered in a soft, velvety fabric that added a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall design. The mattress was thick and plush, inviting me to sink into its comforting embrace and never wake up. The bed frame itself was made of a dark, rich wood that gave it a sturdy and substantial feel. It was clear that no expense had been spared in creating this luxurious sleeping experience.

I leaned forward and looked at the plush-looking armchair in the corner. The wood grain of the dresser and vanity added a nice touch of warmth and texture to the overall aesthetic.

As I sat up in my bed, I could feel the chill of the morning air on my skin. I reached for my cloak, draped over a nearby chair, and wrapped it around my shoulders, relishing in its warmth.

Standing up, I walked over to the window and looked out at the snowy landscape below. The trees were covered in a blanket of white, and the distant mountains were shrouded in mist.

Taking a deep breath, I knew that today would be another day filled with bullshit, "it\'s really cold…" I whispered to myself feeling how a cold shiver ran down my spine.

*knock* *knock*

"About time," I mumbled and turned around to greet Serenu.

"Good morning, young master," his calm and kind smile never leaves his face no matter where\'s he at.

"Morning, Serenu," I replied to his greetings.

He always had that kind and pleasant look on his face, "Serenu, tell Nari that tonight will be the perfect time to train," I spoke, slowly moving back to my bed.

"Anything else I should add?" His voice was stern.

"No, nothing for now…" I was worried that snow might affect Nari and her mental health, but I wanted to learn how to control mana, and we could simply do that in the dungeons from before.

When Serenu left, I started to focus on my main goal. Hector wasn\'t dumb and he soon enough will realise that Nari chose her side already, so I needed to get rid of him first to avoid future trouble and gain Nari\'s trust before I enter the academy.

Hector had many weaknesses and the demon inside him was one of them, \'what If that black magic\'s bowl could destroy the demon?\' I placed my hands on my eyes and squeezed them.

Then let a long sigh out, remembering yesterday\'s events. It was one hell of a night… I met Doru for the first time and weirdly, the danger sense wasn\'t that bad as when I met his sister… This was really strange, why?

Then that stupid Ewen slipped away and I was able to personally meet the king…

If I could get the king\'s affection and allow him to trust me, I could simply become invincible and no threat could harm me anymore, but Hector…

I needed to know more about the demon and finally take action to kill it somehow.

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ If the demon enters a body with a stronger magic power and non-corrupted mind, it would simply become a puppet. But how do I do that now?

"Zuri!" I called her out, but there was no answer. Just silence.

"Zuri!" I raised my voice, hoping she would hear me this time.

I say there in lack of sound and noise. The tension in the air was palpable and uncomfortable, "what happened to her?" I furrowed my eyebrows, where was she, "Zuri!" I tried to call her name out again, but she refused to appear.

I didn\'t know why she was like that right now, considering the fact that she vanished like a melted snowflake into a thin air when the king appeared, was she scared of him?

This reminded me, that I actually knew nothing about her and just blindly followed her commands…

I begin to felt empty, as if there was a void inside me that nothing could fill.

This forced me to realize that I couldn\'t rely on anyone but myself. If I wanted to achieve my goals, I needed to gain power and strength by my own efforts, without anyone\'s help. It was a daunting realization, but it also gave me a newfound sense of determination and self-reliance.

It was true, I was relying and depending on people way too much without even realising it. Grabbing every opportunity and thinking how to use everyone in this scenario.

I felt completely useless, like I couldn\'t do anything right. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn\'t seem to make any progress or accomplish anything of significance with my own power. It was a frustrating and demoralizing feeling that left me feeling defeated and hopeless by my own expectations.

This had to change…

I had to yearn to become more powerful and resilient, so that I could stand on my own two feet without relying on anyone else. The sense of weakness and vulnerability had become unbearable, and I was no longer willing to accept it. It was time to strengthen myself both mentally and physically, and to cultivate the confidence and independence to tackle any obstacle that lay ahead.

I decided to stop overthinking and take action. I got up from my bed, walked over to my desk again, I opened a drawer. I reached inside and pulled out the demonic book that I had been studying for a few days now. It was time to delve deeper into the dark arts and unlock the secrets of demonic power. With a sense of determination, I flipped open the book and began to read.
