Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

After making sure the vessel, Aisha, was safe, and leaving the cleaning of pests popping up from Evil's Scion's gang to his minions, Shiva wanted to go back and check on the group of heroines and the protagonist battling below.

He did feel the aura of destruction gathering in large amounts some time ago, so he knew which villain they were facing.

Ronnie Dathien

The exiled one of the Dathien clan from the fairy race.

In the original novel he played a little part, so Shiva still had a little impression of this guy. Ronnie was a sick bastard, whom even Shiva considered to get and train for his Eclipse, but eventually gave up.

First, because this guy was either counting his days in the fairy forests or in the towers of hell, both places where Shiva couldn't reach and act freely.

Second, this guy was unpredictable. He was chosen by the demon kings, and by making some kind of deal with them, Shiva could get him under his control easily. But they weren't the only ones paying attention to him. Getting Ronnie on his side meant having the target of those fairy gods on his back too, which Shiva wanted to avoid for now.

Third, that guy was a total fanatic for Ditail. And it annoyed Shiva for some reason. Maybe cause he remembered what Ditail would do to him in the original ending.

Thus he didn't look for Ronnie and let fate take its course.

And as written in novel, this guy was saved by Evil's Scion and joined them, and had a battle with the protagonist. But the timing of his appearance changed majorly.

Originally both the evil scion and Ronnie were supposed to make their first appearance in the first semester exam event, but due to some changes and God knows what altercations, both of them appeared early.

In the book Ronnie had a huge fight in that event. By then he could control his eye of annihilation more easily, so he managed to slaughter a whole lot of students in one fell swoop.

It was only at that time when Leon was about to be killed, that Francius, the old ring grandpa, made his first appearance publicly.

With his protagonist halo of luck and golden grandpa's support Leon managed to kill Ronnie at that time and showed his swagger and style of a hero in front of the academy.

But sadly somehow the strings of fate now are twisted and moving in some unknown pattern, as this attack which never happened in the novel, happened now.

[Ronnie's dead, by the way.]

While Shiva was contemplating what could've led to this attack, system gave him a message about Leon's victory.

"How? Other than Saisha, no one should be strong enough to handle him. And she's busy with the other guy. Who helped our hero?" Shiva asked, perplexed if the weakened leon still had some hole cards that he didn't know about.

[You did.] System replied.

"Me?"

[Yes, you. Remember the poison you gave to princess. She used it on Ronnie, and Leon took the chance to land the final blow.] System explained in detail.

Hearing the explaination Shiva just shook his head and sighed. Just from that little explanation from system, he could guess the whole scenario of what might've happened or how leon showed off some awesome skill at the end as a finishing move. 'That guy sure is lucky.' He thought.

The battle sounds at the rooftop had calmed down and he could feel that Cersei had used the teleportation coin to get out of this place already. Since everything was over, there was only one guy left to deal with now.

"Did you locate the other one?" Shiva asked not caring about Leon any longer. And moving onto the next important thing.

[Yupp, he's moving towards the southeast stairs. He's planning to run away now.]

"Saisha…"

[She's fine. Nothing serious.] System replied before it's host finished his question.

Taking a deep breath Shiva increased his speed as he followed the map shown by the system and rushed towards the runaway villain.

. .. (After this is the events described in chapter 302. - Shiva appears.)

Using the system's help to lock the target of Evil's Scion's base where Mylock was sending all the video feeds, Shiva didn't hesitate in his order to destroy them.

Though doing it cost more than 100000 points, but well, since this event was to send a message and promotion of Eclipse, he still gritted his teeth and did it.

As for Mylock, after knocking him out Shiva directly sent him to another prison at Eclipse base, this guy still had some use for him.

As soon as everything was over, the sound of the system's voice came to his ears, informing him about the quest's completion. Stopping at an arched balcony, he lit a cigarette and opened the system panel and decided to check his rewards while enjoying the smoke of destruction all around him.

[Chain quest completed.]

[Objective 1. Named character saved. - 9/13.]

[Rika Rambue, Dhiru Sonar, Quinton Cancel and Martha Payne were killed at the event.]

[Failed]

[Objective 2. Killing the Evil's Scion members. - 76 members killed. And 2 captured alive.]

[Massacres are your forte so successfully done.]

[Objective 3. Promotion of Eclipse on a wider scale - message sent, loud and clear.]

[Mission successful.]

[Overall rating - Passed.]

[Rewards - 50000 system points.]

[ – Blueprint for the Menace Maya Formation.]

[ – Karma clearance crystal.]

[ – Eye of Annihilation skill.]

"So some idiots still died huh" Shiva said looking at the four names. After forcing his head to think over all the trash cliche storylines all over again, he sighed and spoke "Their plotlines aren't anything special, so fuck it if they died."

"Explain the rewards." Shiva said ignoring everything else, and not caring about it.

[Menace Maya Formation - A killing formation that can entrap anyone below S rank, and make them mad. Confusing their minds, and turning them against themselves. Anything they see, hear or sense is their enemy.]

(Only the formation map is given, required items and formation master needs to be gathered by host himself.)

[Karma Clearance Crystal - Anything you do with this crystal in hand would leave no Karmic trace for anyone to track.]

(Limitations are gods, immortals, ascended or ancient ones.)

[Eye of Annihilation - A skill that manifests a cataclysmic eye capable of erasing all existence with its ominous glare. Requires a high understanding of the destruction element to master and control.]

"Huh, not so bad, I guess." Shiva said looking at the description of all the gifts he got. Especially the Karma crystal, his mind already started forming plans on where he could use that thing.

'If I kill a dragon while holding this crystal, their race shouldn't be able to mark me and track me down.' Shiva thought, playing with the black round crystal in his hand.

[Stop that foolish thought this instant, host. You're not killing any dragons any time soon.] System, who read his mind sighed and instantly spoke up to I'm refusal.

[And besides dragon slayers get marked onto souls, and thus hunted down by the rest of the dragon race. Hiding Karma won't do you any good.]

"Fine, whatever. I was just curious. No need to overreact so much." Shiva said and threw the crystal back into his storage.

"Now, let's go back. I'm tired and need a nap." Shiva said as he yawned, and burned the cigarette to ashes, leaving no trace of his behind.

"Hello, excuse me. Have you seen someone...."

Hearing someone calling, shiva turned back, but just as he did alarm bells started ringing in his head. Suddenly feeling something strange he directly jumped away from his place and moved to the side. Watching as a sharp wooden spear rose from the floor he was standing.

As he wondered who it was that attacked him, when the system clearly said that the quest was over, a voice sounded behind him and he got his answer. 'Saisha'

"Who.. Are.. You?" She said, her eyes brimming with an angry look all too familiar for Shiva, who could just sigh and say 'not again'.
