Epilogue (The End)
"Just passing through?" asked Desmond, his eyebrow raised.The silhouette in front of the dimensional door nodded. He wore robes made of woven starlight. His face was indistinct, constantly shifting between thousands of possible hero faces."The universe is stable," the figure said. His voice sounded like a distant choir. "I was just making sure its Admin wasn't sleeping. Turns out you are... partying.""Family party," Desmond corrected, lowering his hand. His battle aura faded. He realized this figure was not a threat. This was a fellow Traveler—someone who might have once been the protagonist of his own story, and was now merely an observer. "Want to come in? There's leftover cake and dragon milk.""No. My story is at other coordinates," the figure took a step back, returning into the emptiness of the Void. "Enjoy your happy ending, Desmond. It is a rare commodity."The door closed. CLICK.Desmond stood silent for a moment in f
The Reverse Tyranny System
"I don't want to be a boring hero like you, Dad!"Dante's voice echoed loudly in the dimensional living room of The Hub, shattering the warmth of the newly gathered family.Desmond, who was sitting casually on the sofa, merely looked at his son calmly. "Being a protector isn't boring, Dante. It is a responsibility.""Your responsibility, not mine!" Dante argued, his face flushed with overflowing teenage angst. "You spent your life saving people, building dimensions, playing the benevolent god. I am sick of hearing about it! I have Demon blood in my veins! I am supposed to destroy, not protect!""Dante, watch your tone in front of your father," Mia gently reprimanded from the corner of the room."You are just the same, Mom! You are all too soft!" Dante clenched his fists. A dark purple aura began to radiate from his body. "I am going to Earth. But not to be a good little tourist. I will become the greatest villain to ever exist! I will be your ultimate nemesis, Dad! I will make the who
The Too Righteous Casino Heist
"Damn it! The police are coming! I have to escape before they give me another medal of honor!"Dante grumbled while carrying a plastic bag full of snacks and loose change. He kicked an empty can on the sidewalk then leaped high onto the roof of a building, just as three police cars with blaring sirens arrived in front of the minimarket he had just robbed.From the rooftop, Dante looked down. He saw the old cashier pointing toward the alley while crying tears of joy, recounting the greatness of the horned young man who saved him."This is a true insult to my Demonic blood," Dante complained. He tore open the expensive chocolate wrapper from his plastic bag and took a savage bite. "So sweet. Damn it, that old man knew my taste."REVERSE TYRANNY SYSTEM GIVES EVALUATION. YOU FAILED TO BECOME A LOW LEVEL THUG. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO SEEK A LARGER TARGET. NEW QUEST: BUILD AN ELITE VILLAIN LAIR. REQUIRED FUNDS: MINIMUM ONE MILLION CREDITS.The mechanical voice in his head made Dante choke on h
Kidnapping the Princess
"I am going to kidnap the Mayor's daughter," Dante hissed while crushing the remains of the digital newspaper in his hand. "Let us see if this damn media can still call me a hero after I demand a ransom of one trillion credits."REVERSE TYRANNY SYSTEM RECEIVES A NEW QUEST: HIGH CLASS KIDNAPPING. TARGET: CHLOE, DAUGHTER OF THE MAYOR OF NEO-NEW YORK. REWARD: 2000 VILLAIN POINTS AND ELITE VILLAIN REPUTATION."Good. You finally give me a quest that makes sense," Dante said, tossing the newspaper into the trash. "Kidnapping is the true art of crime. No one can twist the fact that I am kidnapping an innocent girl from her bed."Dante darted toward the elite residential area at the top of Neo-New York's artificial cliff. The Mayor's mansion stood majestically, guarded by patrol drones and laser fences."Too easy," Dante mocked.He transformed his arm into a Demonic claw and tore through the laser fence as if tearing a paper curtain. The alarm di
The Hostage's Cry
"Put me down! All the blood is rushing to my head!" complained Chloe while pounding Dante's back with her small fists."Quiet, Hostage! You are ruining the mood of my kidnapping!" retorted Dante in annoyance. He had just leaped from the window of the Mayor's mansion, carrying this girl in a dirty white dress across the rain-slicked rooftops of Neo-New York."What kind of kidnapper takes his victim jumping from a third-floor building? Are you trying to kill me before you get the ransom?!""I am a Demon! I can fly if I want to! Be grateful I chose to jump so you could experience the authentic sensation of a kidnapping!" Dante continued running fast, ignoring the struggling girl on his shoulder.They arrived at a dingy motel smelling of urine and cheap alcohol in the Lower Sector. The door to room four hundred and four was kicked open. The sound of breaking wood echoed in the empty hallway. Dante threw Chloe onto a broken spring mattress that creaked
The Villain's Lair That Turned Into an Orphanage
"Break the door down now!"A loud crash from outside nearly tore the motel room door off its hinges. Dante snorted in annoyance, adjusting his black shirt which he had just half buttoned."Your father's troops really have no manners, Chloe," Dante said as he stepped toward the door. "Even though we just finished our syndicate formation meeting."Chloe chuckled softly. She had already put on Dante's leather coat to cover her torn dress. "They are elite mercenaries, Dante. My father must be panicking because the key to his secret vault is in my head.""Good. That means we have seed capital," Dante grinned, his eyes glowing red. "Hold on tight, Princess. We are taking the aerial route again."CRASH!The motel door was smashed open by five armored soldiers. But before they could raise their plasma weapons, Dante had already kicked the vanity table straight at them with full force. The table shattered into pieces, sending the five soldiers flying out into the hallway.Dante wrapped his arm
Invasion of the Local Gang
"Your father's armored squad breaking down our motel room door last night felt far more challenging than these noisy punks out there," grumbled Dante. He peeked through the moth eaten curtains of the window.Chloe, who was now wearing Dante's oversized black leather jacket, chuckled from the worn out sofa."You destroyed my father's squad in two minutes, Boss. It is natural that street thugs look like flies to you," Chloe said casually. "Besides, my ransom money that we stole from my father's secret vault turned out to be very useful. Who would have thought this haunted building you bought for our evil lair came with bonus occupants inside?"Dante turned toward the living room with a frustrated look. There, twenty orphans in shabby clothes were sitting in a circle. They were eating hot instant noodles that Dante had just cooked with his fire magic."Demon Papa! The noodles are so delicious!" exclaimed a curly haired little girl, raising her plastic bowl."Stop calling me Demon Papa!"
Recruiting the Assassin
"Did you think that toy rocket could destroy my property?!" Dante yelled as he leaped into the air.Dante swung his fist, coated in purple void energy. He punched the fast-approaching rocket right in mid-air.A massive explosion erupted above the orphanage. Thick smoke and metal shrapnel rained down onto the street asphalt, but the old building remained safe without a single scratch."That was a close one," Dante grumbled as he landed back on the street. "Who dares to send cheap fireworks to my evil lair?""So the rumors are true. There is a demon guarding the Mayor's adopted children."A very cold and hissing woman's voice sounded from the direction of the explosion's smoke.From a helicopter that was beginning to fly away, a figure jumped down. The figure did not crash into the ground, but instead fired a thick white web at an electric pole, then swung and landed nimbly on the roof of a junked car.A woman. She wore a
A Gift from the Assassin
"Do you think ordering me to mop the floor will destroy my pride, Mr. Demon?"Dante turned his head slowly from the wooden table where he was inspecting confiscated assault rifles. In the doorway of the damp basement, Viper stood leaning against the frame. The sunflower apron was gone, replaced by her skin-tight black leather suit. The four mechanical spider legs on her back twitched, reflecting the dim light of the armory."I don't care about your pride, Spider. I only care that my living room floor isn't sticky from spilled instant noodles," Dante answered casually, setting the rifle down. "Are the kids all asleep?""They are. They fell fast asleep after worshipping you like a savior god," Viper replied as she stepped inside, her hips swaying with incredible flexibility. "Chloe is also sleeping soundly in the upstairs bedroom. Now, it's just the two of us in this quiet armory.""So what if it's just the two of us? You want to ask me for overtime
Chemical Corporation Extortion
The explosion of white light above the orphanage roof made Dante kick the basement door until it shattered. He shot into the night air, leaving Viper who was still adjusting her black leather clothes.On the roof, the metal-winged figure had just raised the energy cannon on its arm, preparing to destroy the old building below."You want to destroy my roof shingles?!" Dante shouted.Dante did not wait for an answer or a declaration of war from the artificial creature. He swung his arm roughly, releasing a sphere of purple void energy straight into the mechanical figure's face.BOOM!The metal-winged figure shattered into pieces before it could even pull the trigger. Its iron shrapnel fell like a rain of scrap onto the street asphalt, leaving a puff of black smoke in the air."Just a low-level recon drone," Dante snorted. He landed back on the roof, which now had a scorched hole.Chloe ran up the emergency stairs panting,
