Don Nadie

What is the role of those third-rate villains in games or novels? I asked this question to myself quite a number of times. They don't have major screen time, but some of them have a huge effect on the storyline. And, if one of them hadn't played their role correctly, what would happen to the storyline? It seems like I am going to answer those questions since I became the third-rate villain in an RPG game. ------------------------------0----------------------------------- Chapter length 1000-2000 words.

“Don't be absurd, Drake. You have nowhere to go,” Lydia said, her face red and sweaty with rage. “You'll literally starve to death on the streets. You have no family, no properties under your name,” She paused, allowing the words to sink in as if it fanned her ego for a moment. “Without me, you're nothing!" Her words were meant to hurt, but Drake shook off the feeling and looked at her. “Then let me be nothing. Just not yours,” The smug grin disappeared from her face and she hissed at him. “Is there a bitch in the picture? How long have you been plotting this with her? And you dare accuse me of cheating when you've been doing exactly the same thing?!” Lydia's hysterical yell followed him. “If you walk out this door today, don’t even think about coming back! You’ll regret it!” ****** For four years, Drake remained in a loveless marriage playing laundry boy and servant to both his wife and mother-in-law. He orchestrated Lydia's success with his own hands and helped her build her company in secret, but just when she was at her peak, she cheated! After divorce, Drake transforms from a useless scum into an incredible self-made CEO. Now everyone who crosses him will regret it!

Dante Moretti's world shatters in a single night.

But Leonardo and Giulia are plotting to manipulate the "naive" new heir, unaware their target is the man they destroyed. "Naive people are easy to manipulate, don't you think?" Leonardo smirks.

I don’t even know where to begin. The vampire or the deadly twins, Desire and Despair. But they all have their motives in my life. A part to play. On one hand the vampires carry what I need.

Walker knew his instinct was right. Everything about the hospital was telling him to be more vigilant. They thought he will get tired from their bad treatment and forget Elizabeth, the love of his life.

“Captain Spark, you’re insane,” Michael said hoarsely. “I’m an actor, not a cop. I’m not a monster.” “But you understand monsters, don’t you?” Ashley shot back. She pointed to the playback monitor showing his recent scene. “That look in your eyes, the way you enjoyed the kill… You’re more convincing than half the criminals in our files.” Michael had no response.

They burned his home. They erased his family. And for ten years, they believed Dante Moretti was dead along with the ashes. He returns with nothing but cheap clothes, a cold stare, and fists trained by the legendary Master Armani—the man who turned him into a weapon. In a city ruled by money and bloodlines, Dante is mocked as a nobody, humiliated as a stray, and treated like dirt by elites who don’t know whose empire they’re standing in. When he saves a powerful heiress from death, she repays him with contempt, believing he’s just another poor man reaching above his place. What she doesn’t know is that he owns the sky above her head and her family’s fate is already tied to his. Forced into a marriage meant to control him, Dante steps into the lion’s den willingly because kings don’t avoid traps. They turn them into thrones. This is not a story about love at first sight. It’s about power reclaimed, enemies crushed, and a man who lets the world laugh… right before it learns to bow. Insults turn into kneeling. Laughter turns into fear. And every man who once looked down on him pays in ruin. They called him a nobody. Now the city will learn his name in a hard way.
