A Villain's Retribution

"If only I had known these strange occurrence, I should have grasp every moment at that time. Now, I've been on point of nowhere to return"

"Cheers" a massive laughter exploded the air.

Gina was celebrating an after work party with her colleague in an ordinary bar around the corner. She was an employee for almost a year prior to her graduation .One of her coworker offered her a light beer but she adamantly refuses. She doesn't want liquors. Anything alcoholic taste awful on her.

"Come on! This is your debut! Your gonna become a regular sooner!" She could sniff the foul smell of beers on their breaths.

On second thought, she will going to make this night an exception. She snatch a whole glass of beer on her seatmate and gulp its content at once. The whole room cheered on her brave alcoholic endeavor.

***

Gina was like a walking disaster heading to her walking distance apartment. She ended up drinking more than one glass and the result, her seemingly spinning world.

This night, the moon was specifically brighter than any other night. Turning her head upwards to fully see the bright moon she stumbled upon a pit and she fall eventually.

She was falling deeper and deeper into the abyss that seems to no end. Her sight is pitch black and all she could feel was the unfavorable twisting of her stomach due to gravitational pull of this earth. It felt that she will throw up any good foods that she had eaten earlier.

At last, the seemingly unending darkness has subsided and she landed on a ground. Her drowsiness also disappeared and before she knows it was already morning. Focusing all her strength into her strained eyes. She could sense that she was inside a cave.

[First a pit, now a cave huh?] She complained mentally. Was she in some sort of fictional novel where the mc transported to an unknown world? Was that even possible? It seems that her mental state was somehow affected by her fall and she was imagining things now. Should she go to sleep? It was only a dream after all.

Her hallucination became even stronger when she heard voices outside.

[All three unit, stand in defense. The opponent might go out anytime soon]

[Squad 4 prepare a binding attack. Be concise and exact on your aim]

[Sealing squad, do not falter. This is our only chance to subjugate the evil. Prepare for an impending battle if enemy resist]

Gina chuckle upon hearing these fictitious phrase. Are they filming something? If it is, she should grab this chance to have a glimpse of the actor. It's one in lifetime moment meeting a celebrity. Running towards the light, she dash and sprinted in high spirit.

However, neither that she knows she is already a victim of mischievous fate. An unparalleled chain of destiny. A grim and dark future is waiting ahead of her. Her string of life has already been snapped from the other world.

Sprinting outside the cave she was blinded by the glinting stray of sunlight.

[NOW] Again she hears that voice. A dominant tone nearby.

And when her gazes unfold unto the environment, she was surrounded by a tyrannical soldiers. Their stares are fierce and their gap with each other are equally laid as if this scenario is planned already.

A bright light binding encircled her petite young body and without reserve she drastically collapses on the hard ground making a loud thump sound. She twitch in an excruciating body pain. For almost a second there she loses her touch but for a second she regain the flow of tingling energy back to her. A group of people clad in black cloak line up with their wand on one hand. They started to chant an incantation.

[With the power of the mighty light, darkness succumb. Seal of the immovable grant that power and bind the corrupted soul. Immortal power of light, depart and seal the vast evil!]

A stray of bluish light struck her and she felt electrified.

Aaaahhhhhaaa! The pain she felt now was 100x painful than her first. Then gradually her voice started to dwindled off. Maybe it was something to do with their incantation. Her body paralyses and she couldnt move any longer, only her consciousness didn't fade at that moment.

A bulgy big soldier with a ferocious eyes and thick mustache walk towards her limping body and roughly pulled outward her hair.[Quiet an iron like lady huh? Let's see how you put up with your retribution!) His smile was full of mockery showing a yellowish rotten teeth. The chant that was casted upon her seal her magic, if only she could make use of it there's no way she'll be this helpless. Huh? How did she know that she poses magic? Somehow she felt inside that she just know it. Like it was a second nature to her.

This soldier roughly handled her and throw her in a rusty old cage as they commence the return of their victory squad. She could sense their pride over her demise. [Do we need to burn that curse cave, Sir?] she heard one of a low ranking soldier ask in his superior. [We do not have order to burn the cave. Right now, we need her to present to the higher ups]

Curse cave? It's where she came out right?

Who are they calling the higher ups?

Not so long she was dragged into the castle. A huge stone gateway block their path. When the guard of that colossal gateway confirm these people's identity, they went their way to open it. It was her first time seeing it and she couldn't hide the awe and aspiration she had feeling despite her current disposition. If the situation wasn't like these, she would like to tour inside the castle, interview the royalty of their accomplishment, meeting prince and princess and other stuffs. A typical European medieval era is flowing the area…However, these was just a mere wish that cannot be achieve.

She was presented to the king of the castle. The absolute monarchy of this kingdom. He's appearance exudes majestic and dominant aura inside the room. He was looking at her with a brimming dark aura of hatred.

"Oi, what are you doing! Kneel down in front of the king one soldier kick her feet to bend her down and she kneel on the ground against her will. The impact of her head clashing the hard floor leaves a massive bump of pain.

(Hahaha! This is the rumored villain who reincarnated to that curse cave! Did this creature really came out! Great! Tortured her and little by little kill her. We need to make her suffer until she couldn't take it and wish to be killed!!!) He said with a loud victorious laughter.

Hearing him of her demise. She couldn't help but a flow of tears came by. Tears that came down naturally and won't stop.

"Oh? The villain is crying? First time heard of it. But you know, I need to destroy you before you make the first move on my village. We struck while the opportunity is hot right? You can't blame us, I just need to protect my country. Lucky I predicted the place where the reincarnation of evil will be born hahahaha"

[All hail to the glory of the king]

All the subject praise and glorifies their kings merriment.

She was led to a prison. Hand and feet bound by chain. Wound had already dried down. A meager meal was place along with a muddy water and unpleasant sight reflected on the water. Who are you? The girl she saw was petite and weak. A long messy and dirty amber hair that goes beyond her back. A black and sharp long nails. A thin silk covering her slender body. This wasn't her? It was not her appearance? She can't believe it?!Is this for real? Now that the pain is sapping throughout her body she came into conclusion that it wasn't a dream and piece of hope has been shattered along with that realization. She reincarnated into a world where her existence is taboo and not a single soul welcome her. She became envious of the heroes that has been reincarnated into a protagonist. The world loved them loves, while she, reincarnation of the supposed to be villain is in verge of her destruction.

But she didn't do anything, to deserve that position!

Without any strength and will to live anymore her days went by. Gradually it became her third day inside. On those days inside, all she could think is pay back with those scums. She ain't gonna back down without doing something.

She was brought to a small village. Every person that she could see bears hatred and malice. Some threw stones at her. At some point she was tied to a bamboo pole at the center of this village plaza. Together with her are some children and woman who are meagerly cloth like her. Their appearance of a slave. Somehow they are following her trail. Carefully line up. Any sign of disorder, they earn the wrath to be whip.

What is this village? A monster born within their wicked hearts without knowing. Is oppression of the poor a trivial things for them? They weren't satisfied yet and each chest of the slaves where braded with a hot iron metal. The awful cries and bitter resentment of each child echoed through the whole place as the crowd cheered in mirthful manner at the distress of these poor people. Stop it! Though her voice can't be heard. [They didn't do anything! Those poor kids!] It was her turn to be branded. The pain she felt when the metal iron clamp into her skin. It was an excruciating pain that is unbearable. Just a little and her soul would be drifted away from her body, if not for her undeniable will. They will pay. These people who is the very devil.

A villager throw a bucket of water unto her. [She can't be disgrace by that alone anymore]

But more to her horror, it wasn't water but a gas. These people! They intended to burn her alive as part of their entertainment!

Horrible people!

"Alas! Witness as the fire God eat our tribute a yell echoed from the crowd. One moment and he lit a small fire behind her. The fire rapidly enlarge and she was engulf in flames. The burning furnish burns her entire flesh. The excruciating flame was a 1000 times unbearable. She was being burn alive along with other slaves. This is outrageous. This is unbearable. No humans will do these things to her fellow mates.

In her eyes, these people, they all have become a monsters

Just as that taught, her world become dim. An overwhelming energy flowed within her until little by little they have fully return to her. Yes. Her magic has return to her. The seal of immovable was useless.

It was broken by her own will and hatred.

Now, let see. Who will be her first victim of wrath! The red flames that engulf her had all become pure black. The intensity of it is 1000x the red ones. She couldn't feel anything. Her sight flies throughout the entire village and at a blink the whole place was engulf in black flames. Everyone panic and tried to escape. However, her flames won't allow it. She will eat each and every one of them. She will teach them their own demise. This village is rotten to the core and doesn't need salvation.

At last she was freed from the heavy binding chain.

Everyone she passed by was a dying corpse. Still burning on her flames.

[Please save us!]

It's too late.

You' people will be the reason of your own suffering.

She waited there. She knows they will find her.

A horde of soldiers and knights gathered as well as magicians stood by. They are not planning of sealing hear again right. She won't be fooled for a second time.

At the center of the hundred army was their king.

Lucky! She doesn't need to go over the castle just to find him. He delivers himself to him.

At the wave of her hand, a big mass of black flames form atop and the whole army prepared a stance for defense. [You think you could definitely defy me!!!]

The ball of flame slowly move upfront trampling everyone on it's way. The first batch of soldier whom it crash immediately perish.

The flames eat away those foolish humans and it still continues move. Sending shivers and horror all over. The army and magicians together with knights wasn't able to do anything as they all perish inside the ball of flames.

The last of it's prey, the king standing alone in fear but the massive energy continued to roll towards him.

[Spare me! I-ll give you anything you w-want!] He was kneeling and pleading for his own life.

Too late.

Those were his last words and he vanish.

This world has done unfair things to her. All evil will eventually fall down to hell. Lucky are the one that do not born hatred, they will find salvation. In a world where malice and trickery is a fair thing. She will become the villainous persona of this wicked world.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
