Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

'Brother, did you know about this?' Amelia sent a telepathic message to Rio as she entered the room following Rebecca and saw the condition of everything.

The broken stuff, burning candles, tattered clothes thrown around and the crying girl wrapped in a boy's jacket - painted a grim picture of a sad reality in front of Amelia, and her anger was rising every second.

Rio, who heard her words could already feel the emotions she might be feeling at this moment.

Being the avatar of a goddess, who had a hard time controlling her anger, the rage was something that's been passed down to Amy with all the blessings and support she received. That's why she always tries to mask her persona with a happy, cheerful girl to better learn to control or suppress her anger.

She's done quite a good job of handling those blessings and mastering them without losing control, much better than how she did in the novel. Yet there are times when even her perfect persona cracks up and her rage takes over her thinking, like when seeing the enemies of her brother being happy and enjoying their life, or when seeing a girl going through something like this.

To Rio, who had lost his sanity and care for the world lives before, this was just another crime and just another victim.

He had seen the newspapers and victims of rapes and molestations back on earth, and he had seen it happening in Arcadia too. It was simply the nature of some people to be that twisted and no matter how many you kill or how cruel a punishment you announce, there'll always be some insane idiots who'd still do it. So he simply stopped caring.

Not to mention the bitch who was crying deserved all that came to her.

Maybe she didn't do anything in reality, but just imagining a scene where she could drive a wedge between him and his sister, causing them to fight against each other, and even going as far as to be hungry for each others lives, he couldn't let her live.

He wanted to kill her to make sure those plotlines never ever happen by any chance, but then there was still his idiot brother left, who also needed to be dealt with. That's why he made some drastic changes in his plans.

'Brother…' the voice of Amelia came to his ears again, but he let it be and didn't reply. [You're being hard on her, you know. She's a girl too, so what you can shrugg off saying 'It happens' she can't. Not in the cases like this.] System said taking the side of Amelia and complaining to it's host for being selfish and never thinking about others.

Rio, who heard the complaining tone in his mind, just shook his head and replied 'She needs to learn system, not just controlling her anger after seeing the cruelty of this world. But also to make her own decisions, about what to choose between what's right and what's necessary.'

[But she has time. And she has you. Then why pressure her.]

'Cause Fate is moving fast, extremely so, as all the plotlines and scenarios are getting pulled ahead.' Rio said and continued 'Sooner or later, her events would start too. Those mad cultists would find her, and they would come after her. And I don't want to worry myself to death everyday if I get trapped somewhere and have to be away from her. She grew strong in magic, she just needs to steel her resolve over time too.'

[Murder and rape are completely different crimes, host. One is a mortal kill and other a moral scar.] System said and explained [Just take you for an example, you'd kill anyone and everyone without batting an eye, yet hesitate and back off if it's raping someone.]

'Don't try to drag me in the mud system. It's not that I can't do it, more like I don't do it. And besides would Amy be cruel enough to use these tactics to win, you know how many battles would begin in the future and how many enemies would pop out with all kinds of ways and plans to kill her.'

[And you think she can't survive if she has a moral compass.]

'Morality is good to have as long as she's not foolish enough to choose it over her life. Now shut up and let me watch.' Rio said and silenced the system, which was getting annoying to be answered.

Like bitch could read his mind and see his thoughts, but it has to come out and ask these stupid stuff just to annoy him.

Shaking his head Rio turned his attention back to the scene where everyone was looking at Leon who was trying to convince Levi that he was the one who saved her, and after she just came out and slapped him.

"Y_you monster." Levi said and walked towards Kevin and hugged him.

Leon looked at this scene in disbelief, not sure to what was happening. How proud he was when he saw her coming out, thinking the truth will be out and he'll be a hero, but who knows she just walked up to him and slapped him.

"You_ did he threaten you? You don't have to be scared, just speak that it was him and the academy would kick him out."

Leon said and without waiting for her response further added. "That has to be it, he's the same as that Nishkal family's bastard, he must've threatened your family right. But you don't have to worry, I'll protect …"

"I think you should worry about protecting yourself." Valtor said and looked at Leon with some disappointment. Not in him, but at himself for thinking this guy was a nice challenge or a rival to surpass.

Leon just stood there hearing curses and taunts from all the students surrounding him, labeling him as a pervert and a rapist. Simply a beast in human's clothing. The word of cripple that he hated echoing again as their pointing fingers reminded him of all his past bullying and trauma too.

The mark of sun on his forehead brightened for a small second along with his anger, but then disappeared again. Obviously somehow his halo and luck made sure no one could notice this abnormality, everyone except Rio, who just furrowed his brows in response.

'It still isn't enough huh.' He thought.

Edward amd Lincoln, who wanted to take this chance to punish Leon, ignored Vanessa who was also surprised by this kind of reveal and stood there frozen, and tried to finish the job this time.

But Leon, seemed to be out of his trance and trauma at this moment and before their kicks and punches could land on him he pushed both of them away and walked in front of Levi.

"Get back." Valtor said as he pointed his sword at Leon's neck until it left a shallow cut, but the protagonist ignored it and just kept looking at Kevin and Levi.

"This is a truth seeker gu, when you hold it in your hand and bathe it in a drop of your blood, you won't be able to lie for five minutes." Leon said, bringing a small round worm from his pocket.

"So now you even want the poor girl to take this gu and torture her further." Rio, who saw this scene and knew Leon wanted to give this Gu to Kevin, directly interfered to change the course of events. "Is the fact that she came to slap you and then went to him seeking comfort not enough, or the fact that she's still wearing his clothes to cover herself , a joke in your eyes."

Kevin, who was also surprised and scared a little after seeing Leon passing him the Gu, breathed a sigh of relief hearing Rio's words. The crowd started clamoring at Leon calling him a true evil bastard and a sadistic psycho, who lacked even a pinch of sympathy for anyone. While his performance of still adamant on not accepting that he was at fault also gave voice to some people who started taking his side. Yet all this was just a backdrop..

Kevin turned his face to Levi, and held her shoulders "You don't have to do it, if you don't want to. I trust you, and that's enough."

Hearing the genuine words of her master Levi took a deep breath and took the Gu from Leon's hands before he could even come back to his senses.

After dropping a drop of blood on the worm, the white gu worm shone brighter for a second, showing the connection was completed.

"I'm here for you." Kevin said and grabbed her other hand, trying to calm her and himself down.

Everyone waited to see what Levi was gonna say next, especially Vanessa and Leon, who had their eyes glued to prove something. Leon had full confidence in the worm as he had used it before, but Levi's next words stunned him into silence.

She looked at Leon with a tearful expression and gritted her teeth, as she announced "He's the one who tried to..to force himself on me. And master was the one who saved me." As her words finished she crushed her fists, and killed the worm directly.

Throwing whatever remains of it on Leon's face.

"Wha…???" Leon was too stunned over what she said that he didn't even have time to be sad over the treasure he lost.

He couldn't understand what was happening, it was clear he saved her, but why did she blame him instead. Why did she lie and how, when she was sworn to tell the truth. So many questions but no time to think of an answer.

Cause that one sentence from Levi tilted the public opinion whole , and pushed Leon to the rapist category.

Rio was gloating on success, thinking what would Apollo do now to save Leon.

Since the God's main goal was to get Leon famous and earn reputation and followers through his help, but somehow this guy kept getting titles that were too shameful to speak for.

[She's here , host.]

The system's sudden notification stopped Rio's thoughts. Looking up he saw a figure of an old friend standing there with a frown on her face, and a cold look in her eyes..

[Looks like she'll save him from being crippled by this crowd.] System said, watching as all of a sudden dozens of students followed Edward and Lincoln into attacking him.

'Not necessarily.' Rio gave a smirk and looked up. 'Loki, isn't it about time you do something.'.

[Hehehe as you wish.] A chuckle came to his ears as the God of trickster chose to play another trick.
