DOOMED TO BE A VILLAIN

**Inside the B-rank Mission gate**

Gate mission#

Kill 10000 monsters.

The whole B-Squad took a deep breath as they saw the mission on their status screens.

"It's just killing monsters, I can kill them all without breaking a sweat," Anthony said boastfully while at the same time trying to rile up his teammates and lift their moods.

"Y-Yeah," Jack stammered a response, trying not to look scared and it seemed to have lifted the mood a little as the rest of them started asserting themselves, but Teresa stayed silent as she was pondering their situation. Tisha also stayed silent, but no one could tell why or what she was thinking.

Teresa was about to voice her thoughts out to her comrades who were behaving a bit immaturely even in this situation, but Davies's cold voice mentioned everything she was thinking about, but not able to confirm,

"I don't think you guys understand the gravity of the situation you're in," came Davies's cold voice, interrupting their charade,

"What don't we understand? It's just monsters, we'll kill them all," Anthony said brazenly, still not seeing the bigger picture.

"What an idiot," Davies sighed as he looked at Anthony like he was the greater fool to exist,

"Your beautiful shapely friend over there probably gets it but let me explain it in a way that even an idiot like you can understand," Davies sighed again as because of this muscle head, he had to do more explaining,

'Hopefully, they don't fall into despair from realizing their situation… urgh I hate explaining things,' Davies thought before taking a deep breath and beginning to explain,

"What is the highest-ranked gate your group has ever completed?" Davies began by asking,

"We've cleared a C-rank gate before…" Jonas answered before anyone in the group.

'Oh…? Not bad, I thought it'd be worse,' Davies thought internally but did not show anything on his face as he moved on to his next question,

"And what was the rank of this dungeon?" he asked as he folded his arms.

"It is a D-rank dungeon so killing the monsters would be a piece of cake," Anthony said light-heartedly, still missing the point.

"... You said "was", what do you mean by "was"?" the pink-haired flat chested Sakura Kyojuro noticed the disparity in Davies's words.

"Exactly what it sounded like, "was" ... the rank of the dungeon has changed, or more frankly, it was never a D-rank gate," Davies cleared up, as he heard the "smart" ones in the group swallow hard as they realized the situation may be worse than they thought.

"What rank is the gate now?" Teresa asked, Davies could see her gripping her mage staff very tightly as she feared his answer,

"... B-rank, we have to kill at least 10000 B-rank monsters before we can get out of here," Davies stated, but without even giving them a second to digest this information, he continued,

"Worse still you have to do all that in this weather condition,"

"Well, you don't have to worry for worry for water, you can eat snow I guess as long as you don't mind turning to icicles in a few hours," Davies concluded and watched the reality set in for the B-Squad as they finally saw that their situation wasn't good at all.

[What are you playing at this time?] Miya asked Davies as she couldn't understand Davies's attempts at pressuring them mentally,

[Isn't it better for you to encourage them and try to lift their spirits if you want them to survive.] Miya advised.

'Nah… every human reveals their true self when faced with certain death and that is exactly what I want to know about them, so I can see which one of them is actually worth something,'

'I do need some people that would do a little dirty work,' Davies explained his reasoning to Miya,

'And besides, I should be able to pass this mission myself, though it wouldn't be that easy, so there isn't really much of a threat of death for them,'

'Pull up my status screen Miya?' Davies asked Miya,

[Aye Aye captain] Miya replied playfully and showed Davies his status,

'I guess the shop is still locked huh?' Davies asked Miya,

[Well duh, you have to upgrade the system to be able to use the shop]

Davies suddenly starts walking towards the B-Squad without replying to Miya. He walks until he stands directly in front of Tisha,

"First lesson for today, stay alert at all times," he said as he stretched out his hand and caught something that was flying toward Tisha's head at high speed.

*Crack*

Davies caught and broke the icy spike that had almost taken out Tisha without her ever noticing,

"Snow lizard, B-rank," Davies muttered as he looked at the monster that had shot the spike. It was a white lizard that was as big as a Komodo dragon with ice spikes all over its body that it could shoot at its enemies as a long-range attack. It was hiding in plain sight in the snowy field, and it would have managed its sneak attack if not for Davies's skill, "snowfield sensing".

After seeing that its sneak attack had failed, it came out of hiding and let out a loud screaming sound. Immediately after letting out the screaming sound, more snow lizards appeared from inside the snow and Davies and the B-Squad were surrounded.

"We're surrounded! Get into formation," Anthony shouted and quickly summoned his shield and held it in front of him as the rest of the B-Squad also got into formation behind him.

'It is unnecessarily glamorous,' Davies thought as he looked at Anthony's white-colored shield with gold adornments and studded with different types of precious stones.

[I thought he stole a giant's bling but forgot to take the chain] Miya snickered, causing Davies to smile.

"Well, take care of this one, guys…" Davies said as he used his ice to make a lawn chair that he lay down on.

"If you can't even take care of this one, then you have no place in the Imperium League," he said as he closed his eyes to take a nap.
