001. The Anniversary
The clock hanged up in the hallway read 02:47PM, meaning it was almost time for Niccolo to head home. He stood outside the large company building, beads of sweat dripping down his face.
His cleaning overall jumpsuit was tied around his waist, leaving just the white t shirt he wore underneath, and even that was soaked with sweat, exposing the hardness of his chest and abs. Niccolo never had the time or money to register at any gym to work out, but the years of physical labor he had endured had given him a body that women wanted and men were envious of. His medium length hair was tucked away under a bandana, to keep it from bothering him while he worked. He raised a hand to his face, fruitlessly trying to protect it from the harsh rays of the afternoon sun. "Boy it's hot today." He had just finished mopping the long hallway and was presently waiting for his boss to leave, so he would clean his office and be done for the day. Niccolo Morandi was one of the janitors at Phoenix Corp, a well known advertising company through out the city of West View, and while most people looked down on him because of it, he never allowed it to weigh him down. "Niccolo!" Someone called out from behind him. "The boss is done and he wants you to clean his office." "Of course, I'll get right on it sir." He headed back into the building and headed straight for the stairs. His boss had made it very clear that he should never use the elevators when people were around so the stairs were the only option for him. Skipping steps along the way, Niccolo managed to get to the office on time, but as usual, his boss complained about him being late. "Why can't you ever get here on time?! Huh? Why the hell do I have to be waiting for you?!" "I'm deeply sorry sir." He bowed his head, silently taking all the insults his boss threw at him. It didn't matter though. For he was too happy to be bothered that day. Niccolo felt like there was nothing anyone could say or do to him to ruin his mood. After his boss finally left, Niccolo's hand went into his pocket and he took out the little ring he had gotten earlier. It took all his life's savings but it was worth it, because he finally managed to get his wife a diamond ring. It was their third year anniversary and he was happy he was finally able to get her something nice. He tucked the ring gently in his pocket and quickly went to work. The joy of getting to see his wife made him work double time and in speed record time, he was done. As he approached his matrimonial home, Niccolo could hear loud music coming from inside and he smiled. His wife must have thrown a party to celebrate their anniversary. As he opened the door, a bright light shone at his face, momentarily blinding him. Before he had the chance to comprehend was going on, a blindfold was put on him from behind. "Kimberly, what's going on?" He asked with a smile. "Today is a very special day, so tell me…what amazing gift did you get for your wife?" A female voice questioned from behind him. Niccolo could immediately recognize that it wasn't his wife who spoke, but her friend, Lyla. Lyla and Kimberly had been the best of friends for a long time, and Niccolo knew she didn't like him. But he guessed his wife had asked her to behave since it was their anniversary party. Deciding to play along with their game, he answered. "I got her a ring." When he said that, he felt a hand reach into his pocket and fished out the ring, placing it on his palm. "Put the ring on your wife." The voice ordered playfully. Niccolo reached forward, and a feminine hand touched his. Smiling softly, he put the ring on her finger. "Happy anniversary Kim." "Awwn okay, now what comes next is the kiss." Lyla said. Right after she said that, Niccolo felt something round and soft pressed on his face and laughter erupted in the living room. Tasting the little that got in his mouth, he realized that it was cake. He removed the blindfold and saw that Layla and two other ladies he wasn't familiar with were laughing at him, but his wife was nowhere to be seen. Lyla took off the ring and threw it at Niccolo, apparently he had worn it on her finger and not his wife. "Your stupid gift is so small and worthless that Kim wouldn't even be bothered to glance at it." She said, a mocking smile on her face. "Look at what you've done Lyla, now his face and clothes are stained with cake. That's mean." One of the ladies said with feign concern for Niccolo. "Oh that's not a problem for him. Don't you know? The loser is a janitor, so he shouldn't have a problem with dirt. In fact, he should be used to it by now." Lyla said, laughing at Niccolo. He didn't understand what was happening, but he knew he didn't like it. Where was Kimberly? Was she aware of the mocking prank her friends pulled on him? Surely not, because he knew she would have never allowed it. "Where is Kim?" He demanded. "In the bedroom." Lyla had a mischievous smile when she answered, and Niccolo wondered why but he went in anyway. "Oh yes, ooh I love that, keep doing that." "Oh fuck yes. Harder!" Niccolo's heart almost dropped to his feet as he heard the voice of a man and woman coming from the bedroom.Expand

Road To Revenge: Obtaining a villain system 014. Official: In A Relationship
Niccolo couldn’t get any sleep that night. He tossed and turned on his bed, the sheets growing damp with sweat as his mind spiraled between two heavy burdens: the mayor’s enticing offer and the voice’s chilling demand. One was a path of opportunity, a chance at power and perhaps security. The other was a road paved in shadows and blood.His thoughts pulled him back and forth. He pictured the mayor’s face across the mahogany table, the weight in his voice when he promised Niccolo two wishes, any wishes at all. What kind of man had that sort of influence? More importantly, what kind of future could Niccolo carve for himself if he dared to accept?But every time he tried to follow that fantasy, the voice returned to claw him back down into reality. The task. The impossible, suffocating task. He was supposed to spend a whole month in a stranger’s mansion, playing the role of a servant, quietly earning trust… only to betray it with poison. The thought churned in his stomach like spoiled fo

Road To Revenge: Obtaining a villain system 013. Second Task
Niccolo paced around in his apartment, the floor creaking softly beneath his restless footsteps. The meeting with Ariana and her parents still haunted him like a half forgotten dream. Their words echoed in his mind— her mother's intimidating gaze, Ariana’s sudden confession, the mayor’s heavy promise of two wishes, everything felt all impossible to believe. He stopped by the window, leaning on the frame, staring at the gray city skyline. What would he even ask for? Power? Wealth? Revenge? He had thirty million already, but even that felt temporary, fragile. What if he asked for something that made him untouchable, a man no one could humiliate ever again? His chest tightened as thoughts of Kimberly came unbidden —her laughter, the betrayal, her face in the arms of another man. That wound was still fresh, no matter how much he tried to cover it with plans and money. Maybe one of his wishes could be to erase that shame. Or maybe to make every woman who ever looked down on him regret it

Road To Revenge: Obtaining a villain system 012. The Offer
Niccolo sat in the large, elegantly decorated living room, the kind of place that still made him feel slightly out of place even though it wasn't his first time there. The room had high ceilings, velvet curtains, and crystal chandeliers that glittered even in daylight. Ariana sat close beside him on the long leather couch, her hand folded neatly over her lap. Across from them, the Mayor and his wife sat side by side, watching Niccolo with heavy gazes that carried more weight than words.The silence stretched uncomfortably until Ariana’s father finally cleared his throat. His voice was deep, commanding, the kind that made people instinctively sit straighter.“Niccolo,” he said, “I assume you’ve seen the articles spreading online.”Niccolo gave a small nod. “Yes, sir. I’ve seen them.”The Mayor leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees. “Then I’ll ask you directly. What do you intend to do about it?”Niccolo blinked, caught off guard by the question. His brows furrowed. “

Road To Revenge: Obtaining a villain system 011. The Article
Niccolo had never known what it felt like to truly breathe until the day the money came through. Thirty million dollars. Even now, more than a week later, the number didn’t sound real when he repeated it in his head.Thirty Million.The figures kept flashing in his mind like neon lights, and with them came both freedom and fear. Freedom, because he was no longer the broken man his wife discarded like trash. Fear, because he had seen how quickly life could take everything away.The first thing he did was move. No more temporary rooms with peeling paint and thin mattresses that smelled of someone else’s perfume. He wanted a place that was his, a place where he could close the door and not feel like a guest in his own skin.The agent he contacted had raised an eyebrow when Niccolo told him his budget, but Niccolo quickly reminded him that he wasn’t interested in mansions or sprawling penthouses. Not yet. He wanted something clean, modern, comfortable —something where he could think.Afte

Road To Revenge: Obtaining a villain system 010. A New Man
Niccolo’s lips brushed Ariana’s cheek with deliberate firmness, not a lover’s gentle caress but a calculated gesture. He wanted Kimberly to see it —no, he needed her to see it. For the way she had made him suffer, reduced him to nothing in the eyes of her friends, and paraded Gregory like some prize stallion before him. Today, here in front of the city council building with people milling about and cameras snapping, Niccolo wanted her to taste the bitterness of regret.Ariana blinked rapidly, her doe like eyes wide with surprise. She hadn’t expected Niccolo to pull her close like that, not in public, and certainly not with so many eyes on them. But she didn’t resist. Her hand lingered against his chest, steadying herself, and her lips curved into a small, uncertain smile.“Are you done, or are you still busy?” she asked, her voice soft yet edged with curiosity.“No I am,” Niccolo replied, his tone sharp, final. His gaze, however, softened slightly when it met hers. “Are you free for a

Road To Revenge: Obtaining a villain system 009. City Hall
Niccolo had been driving for nearly an hour before he came across a modest looking bed and breakfast tucked between a florist and an antique shop. The place had warm lighting spilling through its windows, and though he didn’t care much for comfort at the moment, the thought of a clean bed made his tensed muscles loosen slightly. When he stepped inside, a small brass bell above the door jingled. A woman appeared from behind the reception counter, brushing a stray curl of hair from her forehead. “Good evening,” she greeted, her voice gentle but brisk with routine hospitality. Niccolo blinked, momentarily thrown off. He knew her face. It took a few seconds before it clicked —she was Gregory’s wife. He had met her twice before at company gatherings. Her name was Eleanor. She had been kind then, almost shy, and she looked just the same now— except maybe there was something tired in her eyes, the kind of weariness that comes from living with a man like Gregory. For a heartbeat, Niccol
