Synopsis

Heroes are stupid, never killing a dangerous villain... Even when the villain has committed genocide, heroes will try to "find the good" in others... What a load of bull crap. I'm the one who has to clean up after their mistakes, and they treat me like some kind of villain... Well, I am, but that's not the point. I am a villain who targets mostly other villains, and heroes are too upset about their pride to do anything about it.

Chapter 11] Starting to fix the stupid...

(3rd POV, ???)

Hundreds of bodies, dozens of destroyed buildings, men and women crying. There stands a group of people, battered and bruised. The group looks upon the carnage, and all of their eyes lock on a single target.

The thing they are looking at is a person, the only defining features is it's glowing white eyes, abyss black skin and hair, and the haze that this person emits.

(MC POV, MC's house)

I awake in a cold sweat, immediately tossing my blanket off. My bed is completely soaked.

MC- "If I lived with anyone, they might think I just peed the bed... Geez, what happened to me?" Gazing upon my body I notice that my condition seems better than it did before I went to sleep.

I look around my room and realize, 'I'm not in my room.' I walk over to a desk that has a note on it.

-----

{To Shin

We leave this house to you, the bills are paid automatically. You will get $500 a month for food and other things. The Hero's Association in Japan wanted us to move, unfortunately we couldn't bring you along... I wish we could have told you sooner, but we couldn't bear breaking the news. I know that this is a horrible way to tell you, but this is the only way to protect you. I'm sorry that we had to leave on your birthday, enjoy high school, and don't tell anybody about your powers, we love you.

With love and regret,

Mom and Dad}

-----

"Wow, sounds like a load of bull." I move the note aside and explore "my" room. I find a mirror and look into it. "Oh, okay... Nice." I look at my black hair and red eyes, with a probably above average face.

I wander around my room for a while before going outside of it. Immediately outside is a hallway with a bathroom and another bedroom. I leave the hallway and find myself in a living room, with lots of space. After the living room is the kitchen, which is pretty big as well.

After scouring the whole house, I plop myself on a couch in the living room. Finding a remote, I immediately turn on the TV, what shocks me is the news. I see a guy in a superhero costume, but what confuses me more, is the fact that he's flying.

Shin- "Super powers? Wait, this better be real." I flip through different channels, and sure enough. Lots of people doing supernatural things can be seen. "So that letter wasn't a scam?" I think back to what it said. "Do I really have powers?" 

After about 5 minutes of doing stupid chuuni poses, I sigh and sit on the couch again. I cross my legs and start meditating, mentally probing my body searching for something that I feel is different. I feel a weird tingling feeling in my stomach, and I start focusing on it more.

After a moment of doing whatever that was, my stomach growls. "*Sigh* Nevermind, I thought I was on to something." I get up and go into the kitchen, making myself a meal.

It seems that I already have enough food to last for a while,  so I don't really mind how much I eat.

After eating the food I take my dishes to the sink. Just as I placed the majority of the dishes down, a spoon falls. I try to catch it, but miss.

I reach my hand out and purple lightning flickers between my fingers. When that happens the spoon slows down it's descent.

"What the..." I bend over and grab the slowly falling spoon. An inch long strand of purple lightning flickers around my body every few seconds.

"Am I the Flash or something?" Before forgetting the feeling that I just had, I try to do it again.

[Voided Ability: Telekinesis, (F) 1%]

"Wait, Voided abilities? What does that mean?" I hold my hand toward another spoon, trying to pull it to me. The lightning flickers around me once again, and the spoon starts sliding to my direction. Once the spoon reaches the edge, it falls and almost in a gliding motion makes it's way to me.

The spoon hits the ground a couple feet away from me, and this causes me to frown slightly. Let's try that again... I pick the spoon up and put it back on the table.

After thirty minutes, my struggles have finally paid off. The spoon is slowly floating it's way to my hand, and a smile makes it's way upon my face.

"Finally, visible progress... Took long enough." I lift the spoon with my telekinesis and spin it above my hand by a couple inches.

"I'll just improve my mastery an-" 

{Masteries:

[Telekinesis, (F)] 40%}

"Well, at least I can see my progress." I try to make the information from before appear, causing me to make a strange face.

[Voided Ability: Telekinesis, (F) 20%]

"So they're different... Sweet." I start playing with the floating spoon, trying to increase my mastery. Maybe a second object will increase the speed... 

I try to pick up something else, and my spoon falls back into my hand. "Heh, looks like a new way to train."

I then spend the next few hours trying to pick up more than one object at a time, unsuccessfully. Good news, I can easily manipulate the original spoon as if it were in my hand. When I tried to pick up a chair, the most I could do was move it slightly.

After doing the dishes using Telekinesis on the sponge, I sit down on the couch and start watching TV.

"Super heroes this, super villains that. Is there something else on?" I flip through a bunch of channels which 90% are about super powered beings.

I finally find an anime, but... It's basically a MHA ripoff. "Meh, I'll watch it to see how it compares to the original." Long story short, it was pretty good. Well, at least the first twelve episodes. I didn't watch much else.

Don't think I wasn't doing anything the whole time I was watching anime, I was practicing my Telekinesis the whole time.

I switch to a news channel to see if anything is going on, only to see a report about a mass murdering supervillain being put in jail. I nod in approval, until what they say next reaches my ears.

Police person- "He won't be able to break out this time, we made sure to do extra precautions since his last jailbreaks." I spit out some water.

"Did he say jail-BREAKS? As in plural?" I immediately start scouring the internet through the computer on my desk in my room. I am appalled at what I see.

After looking through articles and seeing many statements of heroes and their associations, I came to one conclusion.

"Are they freaking idiots? Why is it looked down upon to kill villains?" I see an article where a hero was jailed for killing a villain, after the villain flattened an entire city killing thousands.

"This seems familiar..." I remember reading about this type of situation in a novel in my previous world, The Weight of a Tempest.

The main character, Schwere Sturm, or better known as Tempest, obtained a resolve to become a hero after this incident. He even changed his legal name to Atlas Hokori to symbolize his resolve.

I don't have anything against him or his ideals, I just really hate the situation he was put in. If I'm going to change the world to suit me, I'll need to put some counters to his powers. 

His most broken ability is [Limit Break], it acts essentially as a zenkai boost and Kaio-Ken mixed together. The only good thing for me, is that he doesn't get a strength boost whenever he does it to himself. 

His most annoying ability is [Gravity Manipulation], but I can basically counteract that with my Telekinesis.

His most powerful and useful is [Electro-Kinesis]. He can generate/control lightning, and control technology to a lesser degree.

Later down the line he gets [Shadow Manipulation] from a "cursed object", but I can probably take that from him.

Speaking of things I can take from him, Aiya Lemir has some potential to join my side. Aiya has [Cryo-Kinesis] and [Recovery], Both of which are very good. Her [Cryo-Kinesis] is A-Rank, and so is her [Recovery].

First thing's first, I've got to figure out where I am in the timeline. So I end up spending a couple hours researching, and I can easily say... I know exactly where I am, and knew the moment I saw that news article. 

I sigh as I realize that I'll end up having to take some alien lifeform into my consciousness. Whatever, I'll deal with this later. Procrastination! Yeah!

I look at the time. 9:00 PM, this is way too late for me to do anything... or is it? Maybe I could sneak out and try to steal the cursed object...

No way in HFIL, I have at least three years before I even have to consider taking it. I'm going to sleep before I give myself a brain tumor thinking about all this crap.

*** The next morning, 5:30 AM

So I basically wrote down everything I could remember about the series... And I just now got finished.

I spent the whole night worrying about things I might forget... And now I have to stay awake for another while, ugh. Might as well just train my power until I have to do something else.

Using my telekinesis to draw a picture, notice something different.

[Voided Ability: Telekinesis, (E) 0%] {Mastery: (E) 10%}

"Oh, nice. I didn't know I could increase the rank of my abilities... I can increase the rank of my abilities!?" I figured I could increase the mastery, but this is some main character crap.

A wicked smile creeps onto my face.

"I guess I better start planning my alter ego." I immediately start drawing my costume out on a sheet of paper.

"Time to start fixing the stupid ideals of this world, one step at a time."

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. I'm not saying that it's horrible, in fact, I believe the story to be very enjoyable right from chapter 1. But, at the end of the day, this is my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!
