Devils Among Men

In every world, it is a common fact that if you don't jump to a higher building, you will always live under the shadows of the taller building, unless you are lucky enough to crash while attempting to jump over. As a hitman in his past life, Gu Mickey knew this fact very well. Waking up in an anime he last saw 6 years before his death, where kind sages were the first devils and demons were even more sinister, Gu Mickey must use the power hidden among his discarded F-grade talent to rise to the top and find a way back home with his abilities intact. "Earth is a place where everything appears fine on the surface, but you can't help but wonder what secrets lie hidden behind closed doors. Why would I want to be anywhere else?"

Monday

Vroom—!

A sleek black sports car pulled up to the curb, and all eyes turned to the café entrance, only to be blinded by the car's polished wheels that gleamed in the sunlight.

A moment later, a vision of loveliness emerged from the car. A young lady with long, vibrant pink hair stepped out onto the sidewalk.

The girl was a master of seduction. Her seductive smile made both men and women drip blood from their noses.

Her stunning, strapless evening gown made of satin hugged her curves in all the right places, showcasing her slender waist and toned physique.

A delicate sparkling necklace adorned her neck, adding a touch of glamour to her already stunning appearance.

Her high heels clicked on the sidewalk as she made her way towards the café entrance, and everyone hesitated to approach her.

As they say, in front of true beauty, everyone can only be Mr. Jones. (1)

"Damn son! Just look at those long legs!"

"She is so portable!"

"Shut up! Background characters like us can only stare at such a person!"

"You are right, just staring at her made my paranoia go away."

The people in the café talked about Monday as they watched her walk over the polished dark wood before she sat on one of the sofas close to the window.

Monday nibbled on the delicate pastries on the table before she ordered a cup of coffee.

In her mind, she recalled her master's words.

"You are the one who would take all the weapons for him. That is your role as his wife. Provide him with what he needs, even when he doesn't know what he needs. You are his wife and his guardian!"

She did not feel worried about the fact that she was being used. Her to-be husband was handsome; honestly, he looked better than her… and as a person who liked beautiful things, she loved him before he did.

'As your future wife, I will make sure to remove all threats that come your way! That is my duty!'

'Gu Mickey! I will find out who is behind you and give your grimoire to my husband!'

Her eyes shone with resolve as she clenched her fist underneath the table.

A few seconds later, her gaze landed on the only male who walked into the café without a suit.

Monday muttered with disdain.

"Gu Mickey."

Soon enough, the boy walked over to her, with his eyes wandering over her body lustfully.

"You just look like your brother Wednesday. Handsome."

Monday's face showed a small grimace as she tried hard to suppress her rage.

'Is he blind?! How can I look like that ugly man?!'

Wednesday was nowhere close to being ugly, but compared to Monday, he looked like cow poop.

The young woman forced a smile as she sized up Mickey.

"I heard you failed to catch the beetle-fish. Do you mind explaining why?"

Her voice was cold, but there was a hint of cuteness in it that made Mickey chuckle in disdain.

'To think she is using a spell to charm me? Lucky enough I am not into pretty girls; they all bring trouble to not-so-good-looking guys like me.'

He did not reply and looked towards the café entrance, and so did Monday.

In the next second, X flew in with a bucket in his talons before dropping it on the table where the two sat.

Mickey smiled.

"Here are the beetle-fish, alive and well. Since they are alive, you have to pay double the price for a kilogram."

"Anything else, and the deal is off! Meaning that AGT doesn't know how to show seniority!"

Mickey's words got louder and caught the attention of everyone, making Monday cringe.

'This greedy bastard!'

However, she soon smiled.

'This proves it, someone is indeed behind him!'

She took out a grimoire that looked like a pink teddy bear from her Primeval World before caressing Mickey's hand with the tip of her tongue.

Enthralling Touch.

Mickey felt his body tingle while his sexual hormones tried to react, and Monday whispered seductively.

"Here are the spirit coins I brought for you… they are more than you wanted, but just take it as my kind gesture… why don't you take them with this teddy storage grimoire?"

Mickey was about to agree but quickly imagined an evil witch from one of the television shows he watched before and felt his heart sink.

'This vile woman! Trying to seduce me here in public! There is definitely a spell on that grimoire from the owner of AGT to check out my Primeval World.'

He cleared his throat a few times and faked a laugh.

"Granny, how could I, the great Gu Mickey, take a girl's belongings? If you are lonely and just need my touch, just say so. I will make sure to rock you."

Monday cringed violently at Mickey's words and almost punched him in the face.

'He knows who my future husband is, and here he wants me to satisfy his desires! Tsk, in hell I would!'

She scoffed before sighing.

She gave Mickey the 50 million spirit coins before swaying her hair as she stood up.

Circle of Charm.

A small charming scent shrouded the café that mesmerized everyone, including Mickey, before she threw a cup of water at him.

"Bastard! How dare you cheat on me?!"

Mickey's mouth almost dropped to the ground when he regained control of his hormones.

'She is using a world realm spell to charm me…'

His expression continued to sink as he stared at the hateful glances everyone in the café was giving him.

'How funny she wants to see the level of my current strength by enticing these people.'

A faint smile hung on his face, with his fingers caressing the injured X resting on the table.

'The only way to get rid of a girl is to call another prettier girl!'

Mickey was swift in calling Hugh Qian over for lunch. Although she tried to deny it, after her stomach rumbled on the phone, she agreed.

…so, she could only come for lunch before being forced to heal X.

However, when he got home, he was met with an unexpected surprise.
