[BONUS]

Two days passed like a blur, and my situation got worse. All kinds of people were coming at me and asking me for money to the point of threatening and blackmailing me.

Because of that, I spent most of my time in bed, and if not for Thomas bringing me food, I would pass out from hunger.

Of course, I gave Thomas money for that.

And now our role got reversed. Instead of me taking care of him, he was taking care of me.

In just a matter of one day, everything flipped, and I was stuck in my room, avoiding all kinds of players asking me gil.

I was the noob who turned from 'meat guy' to 'gil guy.'

<Host should just kill them or, better yet, buy the Evil Pocket Dimension and gift them to Dementia>

I wouldn't resort to that, no matter what.

And besides, I didn't have enough evil points to buy that expensive thing.

<So Host is thinking about buying it, then~>

No.

I took a deep breath and sighed over the ceiling. It was my fourth day here, so only three days until I could leave.

This place literally became my prison.

Still, it didn't stop other players from knocking on my door and asking for my money like I was their parents or something.

They saw me as their bank. That they had some kind of savings deposited to me from how they were so demanding about gil.

<If Host couldn't take it anymore, then you could always have your other self take over>

I closed my eyes tight and vehemently shook my head.

Who knew what that lunatic would do?

<He would set things right and restore your name>

What name are you even talking about?!

I covered my eyes with my hand.

Why was it that I attracted trouble wherever I went?

It was like I was a magnet for trouble.

<Host wouldn't be in trouble if you only followed the System~>

Why did it sound like you're happy that I was in trouble?

<Trials you must face into becoming the Evil Overlord, the Greatest Villain there is!>

I was about to retort when my stomach grumbled. Looking over at the horizon from the small window, I was surprised that it was already six in the evening.

Time flies when you're consumed with problems, apparently.

But that wasn't the issue here . . . why was Thomas not here, yet?

I thought and sat on the bed.

That kid should be here an hour ago.

Did something happened to him?

<The kid must be busy selling your information. Kekekek~>

Shut it.

I still refuse to believe that it was Thomas who spread about my gil to others.

But if I thought about it . . . he had a lot of advantage if he did so. He would have a lot of gil and CR in exchanged for the information.

What's more, I gave him gil to buy our food, saving him a lot of money in return.

Did he plan this?

I shook at the thought. I was more scared that a kid like him could already think of such sinister plots.

<Host was bested by a kid in terms of evilness, it seemed>

Still . . . there was this tiny tinny light in my heart that said that Thomas would never do that. It kept my hope ignited and held whatever positive feelings I have left together.

I wouldn't know what would happen if he did betray me in the end. It would probably break me.

That's what I feared the most.

When another thirty minutes passed and Thomas was still not in the room, I searched for him using [Evil Eyes].

I found him at the back of the dorms, in a narrow gap between buildings.

My heart leaped in my throat when I noticed that he wasn't alone.

He was together with Edie, Ben, and Jo!

Were they in cahoots this whole time?

<They were in the same group from before, so it was possible>

Pain burned through my body in hot spasms and tear through my eyes in the form of droplets of water.

That tiny hope would have died down when I still stubbornly held on.

I wanted to see it with my own eyes. Wanted to hear it with my own ears.

Without thought, I teleported to their location, devoid of any life.

And when I saw Thomas . . . I lost it.

The kid was curled on the ground, black and blue. There was a hole in his stomach, and his guts were spilling out.

"Oh, it's you," I heard Edie say.

But he might as well be invisible, for I only saw Thomas.

I immediately went to him and found that he was gasping for air. "Thomas?"

"C-cross?" Thomas choked with his own blood. His HP was decreasing fast.

My head was ringing, and I felt my blood rising.

"What have you done to him?!" I shouted at Edie and his friends.

Ben scratched his head. "Ahh . . . we've been caught."

Jo laughed. "Too bad. And I thought that he wouldn't know. It's quite funny."

"W-what . . . what are you talking about?" I asked, confused.

Edie laughed. "You really don't know that we've been extorting that twerp and you all this time?"

"But . . . our deal said that you would leave Thomas alone!"

Edie rolled his eyes. "Sue me then."

And they laughed.

I should have known that words alone weren't binding.

"You won't get away with this," I said, gnashing my teeth.

Jo shook and embraced himself. "Ohhh. I'm scared. What are you going to do? Tell the teachers?"

They laughed like a maniac. Their thick, malice-filled laughter told me that they were no longer humans. They were worse than animals, seeking pleasure by hurting others just for the fun of it.

Edie grinned. "Try it. And let's see if someone will help you. Let's go, guys."

"Too bad about that, gil," Ben commented.

"Don't worry. That guy will still give us money. If he don't want to end up like that twerp."

I heard them say while they left.

I wanted to chase after them, but Thomas was my priority at the moment.

"D-don't worry, Thomas. I'll get you to the infirmary," I said and was about to carry him when he held me.

"C-cross . . ."
