chapter 1

– I wish I could speak clearly about how I got here, but it really has been so long – sweat running through the body while the cold breeze of the early morning passes through the open field, the sun was not even present at that time, only the moon in its last moments witnessed what was happening in that desolate field.

"Who would say I would have a normal life, but at the worst moment I would die from a car accident, and now I am here, I was reborn as one of the villains of a book" his feet moved through the countryside to reach a mansion that was not so far from the place, a mansion in which his father and his first wife lived, Gerall is the son of his father's second wife who died in strange circumstances, but from that moment his father only leaves him gold coins with which he can live without disturbing him, on the other hand, Remi and Rayan are Gerall's older brothers both children of the first wife, Remi will be the one who joins the hero to stop the chaos that will bring an end to this world and Rayan will be the murderer of his father and mother, to free his brother Remi, he is also hanged on the charge of treason blaming himself for the crimes of the Locke family, on the other hand, Gerall is the first to try to assassinate the hero of the story being killed by him.

"But that will definitely change" from the day I come into this world, Gerall tried to change things.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the great mansion this opened showing a beautiful and voluptuous young woman with orange hair with natural gradients to gold at its ends, her hair always fascinated people after all she was Lili the maid of the Locke and also a semi-vampire of natural blood, but unfortunately because of Gerall she also has a punishment that ends her life.

"Master again comes back sweaty in the early morning," she asked kindly as Gerall passed by without greeting her.

–since when do the maids ask that?–rude words that left her silent, lowering her head in sorrow.

– I'm sorry, master, I must remember my place – after those words Gerall went away to the bathroom, where he stripped completely naked to take a shower to take out the bad smells.

"Something strange happens too, my mouth doesn't say the words I want, but I'm cornered to treat everyone like garbage, even if it's not what I want, but it can be good."

Gerall raised his face so that the water would hit directly on him reminding him that it could happen if he hesitated for a second to do what was necessary, after all in his old life, laziness abounded in him, and he never achieved the maximum of what he proposed; however, this time was different, his life would not be the same again and in any misstep he would die in seconds at the hands of any stranger.

Taking his shower, alone on the way to the dining room, where Lili was with a coffee for himself and a salad plate, Gerall saw him without saying anything taking a seat, eating quietly while thinking about the possibilities of what he should do only so that when he reached a conclusion standing, he would return to training.

As he walked back into the field with his sword he pondered things clearly – I have kept the money I have been given to keep for more than a year now, if I continue like this I could soon buy a piece of land on which to set up a greenhouse and sell potions, after all they are not so difficult to do if I keep the right books – Gerall swayed his sword in the air for hours, his training was exclusively in repeated movements with a wide steel sword with which the first days his arms hurt nothing more in the first movement, but now he could clearly resist every move.

The training came to an end during the lunch hours, in which again he met only Lili who stood next to him, many times Gerall tried to ask him to eat with him, however from his mouth only the words came out – are you a dog to drool your master's food? – which caused her to go directly to the kitchen lowering her gaze with sorrow, Gerall is a malicious, horrible and unscrupulous person; however, that may change.

That afternoon is where everything begins, in the neighboring town begins an assault by a group of mercenaries, which are originally part of the Eclipse empire, which develops the Great War against the royal empire, where the three necromancers appear, those who begin the great massacre of the kingdom.

–Lili I need you to be my escort– Gerall's words were a clear and precise order to which Lili could only respond in a simple way – yes sir – she did not hesitate too much and went to change her clothes, but Gerall looked at her with irritation – What are you doing? – she stopped suddenly trying to answer, even so, he replied before – I didn't ask you to change your clothes, I said I need you to be my escort, don't make me repeat it – to Gerall's words, she only moved with him next to him and accompanied him as soon as he stood up.

The road was silent, Gerall for her part only wanted to ask for forgiveness, but she did nothing, the words did not come out, and she went with her head down at every moment.

The road was simple, a beautiful meadow while they were going down the stone road, flowers on the spot, Gerall watched them with an astonished look, while Lili looked at him, she had never seen that irritating and horrible person look in such a tender way "it's impressive, it's the first time I see the gentleman being a normal person" they both followed the path to the town square.

Lili for her part was interested in many things, while Gerall only came for one thing in itself "the summoner's grimoire" a special book, which has the abilities of creatures from other dimensions, is shown in the opening story, but the hero burns it as soon as he has it in his hands; however, this time Gerall would use it to his advantage.

–hey– Gerall quickly called Lili who was looking at some sweet apples, when he realized Gerall handed her a bag with ten pieces of gold, surprised she looked at him – What do you need sir? – even so, then Gerall said words that she did not expect to hear – have fun – just told her that and walked away.

"I hope it's not so little, I gave her enough to buy a house, however after all I have treated her terribly, and she has never left" Gerall walked for a while and then turned to see her walk away smiling for a candy apple.

–ha, so childish– for this time words came out that he wanted to say.

Gerall toured the village, weapons stores, relic shops, even some medicine shops, passing through a parchment shop to buy potion formulas for health and sanity, but then he saw it, the old man who sold the book in the original story.

Gerall approached the old man, and he looked at him as his body trembled – e... You are the young Lock? – those words were spoken with fear; however, he did not care, I just look at the book and ask him – How much for the old book? – before Gerall's words, the old man trembled and handed him the book submissively.

–it is his young master, do not hurt me!– before this action Gerall took the book and threw a bag with thirty silver coins and twelve gold coins, before this reaction the surprised old man looked at him and Gerall responded coldly – I dislike owing anything to anyone – without turning to look back on the way to the caramel apple stand where he hoped to find Lili, but he didn't find it.

I waited for a few minutes, and she still did not return, then a group of burly men saw him, they passed by him – that woman dressed as a maid is a good appetizer – Gerall looked at them for a few seconds and then the other spoke – let's finish with the order, to return to the tavern, so we will be the first to take her – the emotion in her words was enough; even in this way, in a blink of a blink their muffled screams covered the air.

People gathered where the screams came from, only to see one, the Locks' eldest son, burning two people alive while looking down on them.

– damn unclean dogs, don't touch my things – both men screamed and begged for their death, but that was not what happened to them, Gerall made sure that both were consumed by the fire summoned through the grimoire, a fire that does not go out until the victim dies.

The grimoire floating in Gerall's right hand as he walked in the direction of the tavern ready to cause chaos, the people around looked at him in terror without understanding the situation, others tried to help the men only to be consumed by the fire as well.

But Gerall never turned to look at them, at that moment they both felt hatred and contempt.
