Your Not So Ordinary Villain

Smoke rose from every corner of the land as the fighting continued. Spells and weapons never stopped from creating destruction. People from all over the world banded together to take down the enemy that killed so many of their own. Ever since his appearance, they had gone through many wars and lost many lives but they did not stop, they pursued this villain to defeat him and to avenge those who have perished.

The person who sat on that dark throne chuckled at how these people persisted on fighting against him when they were clearly aware of what he was capable of. It was amusing how these people who called themselves heroes continued to confront his minions without fear.

His head rested on the palm of his hand as he fell into deep thoughts while he watched as those so-called heroes continued to fight their way towards his domain. The door to the side of his throne opened and a man dressed in a suit entered with a platter of food on his hand but the person who sat on the throne did not react at his entrance.

The butler noticed that his master was smiling so his curiosity got the best of him, "What got you smiling master?" He stopped a few centimeters away from the person he called master.

"I'm thinking of ways on how to make those heroes suffer for intruding into my domain," he casually answered then he snapped his fingers and a projection of his domain's map appeared before him. There were red dots on the map surrounded by dark dots and slowly the dark dots disappeared then the red dots started to move forward. "What should I put there next?" he mumbled to himself, "what would you suggest?" This time he looked at the butler with a grin.

"Why don't you send your black goblin generals to see if they can defeat them?" the butler gladly suggested without blinking.

"Yes, you are right. I'll let them enjoy to their heart's contents." The person laughed loudly while the butler was confused on who his master was referring, was it the heroes or the black goblin generals who will enjoy? But even so, he did not dwell on it and shook his head. The butler instead moved to prepare the meal for his master.

The person's finger tapped on a specific location in front of the red dots and summoning circle was drawn on the map. At the same time, the heroes who assembled to defeat the enemy encountered several monsters on the way to the 'demon king's', as they have called the enemy, castle to defeat him. They just defeated several feral wolves and had just moved a few meters forward when a magic circle appeared in front of them then a horde of goblins appeared.

These goblins were not ordinary and instead of having green skins they had black skins and their eyes were shining red, full of blood lust. Each one of them were holding a scythe on their seemingly flimsy arms but as people who had encountered countless monsters, the heroes knew that those arms were nothing but flimsy.

"Be ready," a man with blonde hair and holding a shield on his hands took a defensive posture followed by the others behind them. Each of them raised their weapons, ready to attack anytime.

Loud shrills came from the goblins before they launched an attack with no intention of defending whatsoever. The first wave of attack was stopped by the man's shield which was reinforced by a wide range protective spell that covered him and his comrades.

The man tightened his grip on the shield and pushed it with all his might. This action caused the goblins to be pushed back while some of them hit the shield so hard that they bounced off it. This chance was not wasted as the people behind the man took the chance to attack. A barrage of long distance and wide ranged spells rained down on the goblins followed by arrows enchanted by magic that will explode once it lands on an enemy or the ground. There were also flying bullets covered in a white light that accurately hit those that attempted to give them a sneak attack.

"Oh, they are quite good," the master was impressed at the teamwork they were showing and even at the power they wield. "It seems that these humans really invested everything on these bunch of heroes just to defeat me. Ha, how human like."

"Why don't you have some food first master while it is still hot?" The butler looked at the man and gestured at the table that was already set up.

The person looked at the food then at the map before he decided to stand up and eat first. While he was enjoying his food, the group of heroes were able to defeat the goblins that he sent. Now they were facing off against an army of undead he prepared beforehand.

The group slowly progressed and defeated all of the monsters that the enemy prepared for them until they finally reached a grand door with carvings of two swords crossing one another and a crown engraved on top of those two swords. The man who acts as their leader pushed open the door and was to stunned to speak.

The enemy they were about to slay was enjoying his meal and looked like a normal human being. He does not have monstrous features as how those books and stories depicted. "Are you the demon king?" the leader asked with a frown because they were the only ones in the room and it was a bit difficult for him to accept that a young man who looked innocent was the enemy.

The man immediately lost his appetite and stopped eating. He gestured for the butler to take away everything, "I was enjoying that meal and yet the likes of you dared to trespass in my territory. You even ask if I am the enemy, is it because those old people did not tell you that the final boss you were looking for is also a human like you?" He turned around and slowly walked up to his seat then swiped away the map and it disappeared.

"Don't be conceited, you are not human just a monster pretending to be one." One of them spat in anger. He did not care if the man was human or not what matters was that they were there to defeat him and end the grudge.

The man stopped on his tracks when he heard those words. "I am human. I'm just a bit different from you all but if you want to believe that I am a monster, then I will be one just to satisfy your ego." The room was suddenly filled with different monsters that attacked them.

The man watched as this group of people defeated the monsters one by one until the whole room was filled with the stench of monster blood. Now, their focus was on the man who sat on the throne. "Why don't you come and fight, don't just send your minions to deal with us because they can't defeat us. Stop acting like a coward." The same man who insulted him spoke out loud with his head held high. The sense of superiority around him disgusted the man on the throne and before the man could speak once again, several magic circles appeared behind the man's throne then people who were bound appeared.

The heroes gasped in surprise when they saw this scene because some of the people who appeared were familiar to them. They were people who fought with them and the people who sent them to this mission to defeat the enemy.

"It is indeed interesting that you can call me demon king when in the first place I was not the one who started this boring war. I was merely spending my days in peace and yet one day you came knocking to my door while accusing me of things I did not remember doing. If I were right, one of them was massacring a whole town and sacrificing them so that I can gain power." At his words, screams started to echo inside the room. Their eyes widened as one person suddenly dropped dead.

The heroes were about to go and rescue them only to bump to an invisible wall. "What?" the arrogant man exclaimed and tried to break through the wall several times but he did not succeed and by now one fourths of the people already died.

"Why are you all surprised? Didn't you say I cause all the misfortunes you suffered? Yes, I caused them," he grinned and stood up. "I sent all of those monsters to destroy and kill your people because you were arrogant enough to challenge me."

He slowly stepped down from his throne and the room suddenly swayed like a flimsy plastic until it returned to its original state. The place was actually dilapidated, there was not castle nor a throne room. It was just a place with burnt ground and dead trees but the change did not faze the leader and instead they launched an attack to destroy the invisible wall. The man watched all of this without moving and even after they destroyed the wall, he did not move.

"Die, you monster!" the arrogant man shouted then he launched a barrage of destructive spells but the man was not even scratched by it. He raised his hand and with a snap of his finger the person who attacked him died on the spot with his head twisted in an odd way and before anyone of them can attack once again, he waved his hand which sent them flying and hitting the dead trees with a thud.

"You view me as the enemy, then I will be that enemy for you. You view me as evil, then I will be that evil."
