Chapter 1 - Friday night

The world was evil. The world was good. There were many things people described about the world. For me, the world is fun. A bit too fun.

***

Hiew Technology University.

Hiewbard City.

The university was vast. It was built by the forefather of Hiewbard with a goal of creating a bright people. He said, Man created Light.

Nobody understood what he meant by that. That just sounds like words spoken by an arrogant old man.

The university was located on the west side of the city, far from the city river. It took a range of mountains under its wings. So the campus life was peaceful away from the loud city noise.

Some people took that as a loss. It made them drive crazy being away from the city. But for some, it was a wonderful place.

Keir was one of those people. He studied in the department of science and history. Their focus was to study the course of science in a linear line and predict the future route of human species. 

Keir was walking on a green path. He carried huge textbooks and a bag dragging from his shoulder. He wore thick glasses, thick enough to warp his eyes into a cartoony look.

He had black, wavy hair covering his forehead. Beneath his uncaring look, there was a hint of sweetness to his look.

He walked quietly, not wanting to draw attention to himself. He held his head low. 

" Keir. Keir. " Someone called his name a few times.

Keir looked toward that direction and saw a group of students walking toward his direction. One of them waved at Keir with a bright smile on his face.

He then dashed toward with a moderate speed.

" Hey, man."

Keir nodded and greeted. " What the matter, Fred?" 

Fred scratched his head and grinned widely. " You see, we are thinking about heading to the cemetery tonight."

Keir gave a weird look at Fred and sighed. " That is not a proper situation for a student of Hiewbard to be in. "

Fred slapped Keir's shoulder. " Ease up man. You sound like my girlfriend. We are just going to the cemetery with the fresh men. You know that right. The old courage way. Testing the youth. "

" And wasted on a bunch of alcohol." Keir finished the sentence.

" That too." Fred laughed. " Come on,Keir. It will be fun I promise."

Keir thought for a moment. He then asked, " What day is today?"

" Friday." Fred replied.

" Too bad. I got a plan tonight." Keir shook his head. 

" What plan?I am sure you can arrange the plan right?" 

" I am sorry. It depends on my credits. If I don't complete my essay, the professor Melon will be angry." Keir said.

" Melon? You seriously took that Melon. You don't remember his nagging. Oh God, I am hearing his lame yapping." Fred stepped back and complained.

" I know but he is the real deal." Keir laughed. " Anyway, I am going to be late. See ya. Beware of ghosts and villains."

Fred was about to speak farther but he was stopped by his friends. Keir ignored everyone and walked toward his dorm.

" Seriously. What is his deal?" Fred's girlfriend said in an annoyed tone.

" Yeah, you invite him every time but he always declines the offer. That is rude, you know."

" Don't talk to him like that." Fred warned his friends. " I am sure he has his reason. And he is a good guy. No matter how weird he is, that is all the matter."

Fred's girlfriend hugged his hand and said. " Forget about him. Let's go. I have a message from Elon."

The group headed outside. But among the group, there was a curious girl looking at Keir's back. She wondered how a little man like Keir carried such large books. He even appeared at ease.

How strange. He must have some super genetic power or be blessed by an unknown god. Or he can be a supernatural creature.

Maybe a vampire given how pale his lips look. He must be busy sucking up blood. I wish he suck my blood. It must feel great. Blood. Pain. Sex. All intertwined. Ah.

" Emma.Emma." Fred's girlfriend shouted.

Emma shrugged. She felt sad as her fantasy was being ruined but nevertheless she replied." Coming."

Keir opened the door to his room. He walked toward his desk without turning on the light. He then placed all the books he carried on the desk and sat on a chair.

He opened a lamp which was hung from the ceiling. It was made by his father. He took out a laptop from the bag and typed his other password.

123Friday

Done.

This is the most secure password in the whole galaxy since the laptop was created by Doctor Evil Scientist. It cost him about 2 million pure credits. This laptop drained his account.

He could build a better computer but Doctor Evil Scientist was more specialized in software. And he even had his own satellite which made the net faster than regular laptop.

Keir opened the webpage for Villain and typed the news. Soon, the laptop connected with the Evil satellite and showed a bunch of hot news related to crimes.

He filtered the news to only Hiewbard.

Hugh…

Robbery at 9PM tonight. Location is unknown. Sinky bastards.Who is the lead villain of this robbery anyway? Must be Flame lord given how mysterious the post look.

Keir clicked on the lead villain icon. The page demanded the credits for that. It was 15k.

Keir clenched his hand. Damn you. Money hungry bastards. You all sound like a hungry pig.

After a few minutes of silence,Keir sighed. He paid the price and the paywall dissolved. 

Leading Villain was Thorny.

Him?What is he doing in Hiewbard. He should be busy making a name in York City. That is annoying.

Ting!

A message was sent to Keir. He dragged the arrow to the bottom and opened the message. It was from his company.

We have set up all the things you want. We also took 40k credits from your fees.

We Hope you have a bad day.

From the society of underground beggars.

Keir closed the laptop after seeing the message. He then got up from the chair and went to grab an ice cold coffee from the small refrigerator. 

After cleaning up the coffee, he sat on the chair again. This time, his eyes glimmer with seriousness.

He closed his eyes and began to meditate, gathering his concentration to the full effect. Half an hour had passed. 

Keir stood up from the chair, his body illuminating the aura of death. He took off his thick glasses.

Then he wore a black hoodie and left the dorm. He didn't take his bike as there was another way of leaving the university. He opened the window and jumped down.

Before he could smash at the ground,a familiar spirit aura arose beneath his feet. A decaying black snake, its skin was covered by a jade-like substance. Its eyes glowing in a purple aura.

The snake was about as big as a normal house and as long as two football fields. Keir patted at the snake head.

" Good to see ya, Syith." Keir said. 

The snake responded by making a sound from the tail.

" Now,take me to the base. You know the location." Keir asked.

Syith nodded and began heading toward the outcast of the city with a incredible speed. Keir sat on the snake head and looked down as he saw the snake pass through the trees, cars and people.

People didn't see him and Syith because Syith was the creature of death. And Keir was covered by the Syith's tail. He met Syith when he started awakening his power.

At first, Keir was scared to death. Suddenly seeing a giant snake in the middle of day was not a good way to find out about your power. He almost got sent to therapy by his parents. 

Thankfully, Keir adapted to the situation quickly. Otherwise his power will be exposed and he will be sent to the hero school. The thought of going to those island schools made him shiver. The thing he saw from the villain page was no joke.

The Human Government trained the youth like they were going to face Hell.

Well,they are but the training is too much. You could learn all the things gradually as you aged. Experience is the best teacher a mortal can have.

As Keir was thinking about random stuff , Syith arrived at the base. Keir jumped down from the snake and landed quietly on the ground. He then walked and stopped in front of the giant tree.

A laser shot out from the ground and scanned him. After that , the ground split open and Keir was dragged inside the underground base.

This base was made by him and fellows from the Beggars. The project was easy, the hardest part was digging up the ground without alarming Heroes or Polices.

He got caught for a few times before finally a senior Villain gave this base as a gift.

I should visit him sometime.

Keir arrived at his base. The base was about 40 to 50 ft wide. The wall was decorated with a somewhat famous painting. He didn't see any artistic value in the painting but they were expensive. Crazy expensive.

He took off his clothes and changed into his Villain attire. 

Tonight is Friday. And Friday meant he was going to face his Hero.
