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.

Gibson sat across from his mother-in-law, his heart racing as he tried to process her shocking demand. “Divorce?” he repeated, his voice trembling. “Yes, divorce,” the woman replied with an arrogant sneer. “I don’t think you’re good enough for my daughter.” Gibson took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions. He knew his mother-in-law had never approved of him, but he had never expected her to demand a divorce. “May I ask who wants the divorce?” he asked calmly. “It doesn’t matter,” Helen, his mother-in-law replied dismissively. “All that matters is that I want it.” “With all due respect, I don’t think it’s that simple,” Gibson said firmly. “My wife and I have built a life together. We’ve been through a lot, and we love each other.” The mother-in-law scoffed. “Love? Don’t make me laugh. You and my daughter were struggling to make ends meet when you got married. But now, thanks to her hard work, she’s become the CEO of a top 10 company in the city. She can do much better than you.”

You were nothing, Mocked by family. Dumped by your lover. Fired and humiliated in front of a crowd. Rock bottom didn’t just greet you, it crushed you. Then came the letter. Gold-sealed. Hand-delivered. Signed by the richest consortium the world has never seen. “Congratulations. You are the sole heir.” Overnight, you go from broke to untouchable. Private jets. Infinite credit. Empires at your fingertips. The same people who spat on you? Now they’re kneeling. But money isn’t just power. It’s poison. With every billion, new enemies surface. Dark secrets claw their way into the light. And the ones closest to you? They’re the first to sharpen their knives. Now, you’re in a world where loyalty is currency, and betrayal is the cost of doing business. This isn’t a rags-to-riches story. It’s a war. Can you rise as the king of the new world… Or will the throne devour you before you ever sit on it?

In 3015, a virtual world game called "ActivatedLand" was officially released in New York City by the Cyberpunk Technology Corporation, a giant virtual game development company that was well-known and was a pioneer of other virtual games. The virtual game in question wasn't just played using a tool like an X-box but took players to a virtual world where the game was played. It didn't take long; within a week of its release, the game became viral and extremely famous throughout the world. The head of the Cyberpunk Technology Corporation is Dmitry Sergey, a Russian national who has settled and become a citizen of the United States. Most people who don't know Dmitry think he's just a billionaire who owns a giant company. In truth, Dmitry has a dark and terrible past due to his arrogance in America. And now, he begins his mission for revenge!

I never thought betrayal would hit me this hard. I caught my girlfriend cheating on me with the most popular guy on campus. I stood there, frozen, watching as she laughed in his arms—like I never even existed. And when I confronted them, I was the one who got blamed. Me. Because I was poor. Because I had no influence. She didn’t even try to defend me. And when I was at my lowest, when I thought I was about to die, something impossible happened. A screen appeared in front of me, glowing with strange letters. [Spend one million dollars within three days to unlock a greater prize.] It was a system—one that could give me unlimited wealth, but only if I played by its rules. With this, I could have anything. I could crush the ones who humiliated me. I could make them pay. But I quickly realized that money alone wouldn’t be enough. The man I was up against wasn’t just some rich playboy—he was dangerous, and he wasn’t going down easily. If I wanted to win, I had to be smarter. I had to use every trick, every advantage, and push the system to its limits. The question is—do I have what it takes?

I was born a genius numbers, logic, strategy… all of it came easy. Everything around me felt painfully plain, predictable, and boring. Even the web novels I read were the same heroes driven by emotion, not reason. Pathetic. But that all changed the night my family was slaughtered by people who weren’t even from Earth. I watched my mother’s body hit the ground. I heard my sister cry my name one last time before she was beheaded And then they said it .. “Your bloodline has to be erased.” Then came the darkness. When I opened my eyes, a glowing figure stood before me a being that called itself a remnant. It offered me a deal: a system unlike any other. The Architect System. In exchange for freeing it one day, I would gain knowledge and the power to rebuild, reshape, and destroy. I don’t know what this new world is. I don’t care about fate, destiny, or prophecies .I sure as hell don't plan to be anyone's pawn. All I know is this I will find the ones who killed my family . Hell I would even rewrite destiny if I have to . And when I’m done with them, they’ll wish they were never born.

Nothing good seemed to have happened to Brian Fineman as far as he could remember. He had spent his childhood days at the orphanage when his mom succumbed to the cold hands of death; got adopted by Mrs Johnson at the age of five, and had dropped out of college when he couldn't watch the same woman, the closest person he had close to a family, die. And as if that's not enough, his girlfriend of five years also walked away when she couldn't endure the rigors of his financial struggles. In absolute dismay at his reality, he thought there was nothing more to live for until he met a life changing proposal from Lord Danley. Now, only good things can happen right? Well, that wasn't the case; for Brian's love and loyalty were put to test at each step of the way.

Miraculously, he runs into Sanae and Risa, two girls whose sole goal is to become idols. For Kaito, the only way of making it work in the current world is to think outside the box. To think big.
