Villain of my own novel

In the Bronze Scars Guild's guild master's room.

Norvin Glover frowned deeply upon hearing his son's announcement. He was looking at everything from the cameras but couldn't help but have an uneasy feeling at his son's words.

At the time when he abandoned Vinny, giving him everything he would need to survive on his own, he thought that what he did was for the best, and he even suffered a lot when he convinced his wife to agree with his decision.

There were two specific reasons that prompted his decision regarding Vinny's abandonment. One was that Vinny was born without mana, meaning that he had no talent and wasn't going to survive in a world where only the strong survive, so instead of seeing his own son die in front of him, he chose to abandon him, cutting off every connection with him except for their blood connection. And lastly, the most important reason was that there was this certain ominous air around his son that sent shivers down the cores of anyone who dared get close to him other than Sumithra Glover, his mother, and Norvin's wife.

He thought that maybe his son was cursed or blessed by a demon, so he chose to abandon him to keep his 'family' safe.

Norvin couldn't bear the ominous feeling he got when he heard Vinny's words, so he contacted for help, and when he wanted to ask for help, no reasons flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that Vinny was said to be a human spy planted among the humans by the graveyard, and when it came to vampires, there was only a certain mercenary group that was famed for hunting them down, so without any further ado, he contacted the Uncharted to hire White Swan.

Meanwhile.

Katline stared at Eshwar walk back towards them, and behind him was the female elf that they had rescued, and by the glare she was giving to Eshwar, Katline frowned quite deeply.

"I am back~" Eshwar said playful and walked towards her and Katharine with his arms wide open for a hug, looking at him act like that Katline felt a little warm in her heart, but since it seemed like she wasn't the only one getting a hug, she pouted inwardly. Though she felt disappointed, she didn't have any claims to reject him, and she then glanced at Katharine, who had a slight blush on her cheeks, but she too didn't seem to want to reject him.

FHUMP

He hugged them both, brought them close before leaning towards both of their ears.

"She's suspicious; be on guard." He whispered in their ears, and they slightly tensed but didn't show it on the outside.

"Now then, let me introduce this woman." Eshwar said this while pulling Katline closer to him by her waist; she blushed violently when she realised that he was only pulling her while only holding Katharine's hand in his.

"Her name is Seol So-Young." He introduced So-Young, who had been frowning at his intimate actions. And then, surprisingly, Seol So-Young glared at Katline and Katharine instead of at Eshwar, who was doing everything on his own.

"Katline." Katline introduced herself, coldly.

"Katharine." Katharine too introduced herself in the same way as Katline.

"What's this? Your harem?" Seol So-Young asked with a deep frown that she couldn't hide.

"And whatever your problem is." Eshwar scoffed at her instead of denying her, which made both Katline and Katharine blush.

"...." So-Young turned silent at his rude behaviour.

"And she is a stalker that has been stalking me for quite a while now." Eshwar suddenly said, and his words made Katline frown.

"No! I am n...." Seol So-Young yelled in outrage but halted mid-sentence when she saw Eshwar stare at her with a smirk.

"I am." She said and pressed her lips.

"Anyway, let's ignore her." Eshwar spoke up, walked in front, turned to face Katline and Katharine, and smiled.

"Please, escort me outside."

Katline and Katharine fought with perfect teamwork, of course, it was because of Eshwar, they were slaughtering all the wolves that rushed towards them, and when they were fighting so fiercely, Seol So-Young and Eshwar stood next to each other, while the former had her mouth wide open in utter shock.

They had been fighting for more than twenty minutes, and it seemed like they had no plans of stopping anytime soon, though it was very hard to keep up with everything that had been happening right in front of Seol So-Young. She was focusing hard on them to imprint the horrifying scene in her mind.

She had already puked a couple of times at the sight of blood and flesh flying around mid-air, but after everything had been thrown out, she began to calm down gradually as she quite quickly began to get used to the gruesome scene.

And she had been trying to see everything, and though not completely, she was able to "see" with the help of her mind's eye skill, and now she was curious to see what notification would appear if she used that skill on Katline, Katharine, and...

She halted her thoughts there and glanced at Eshwar from the corner of her eyes. He simply stood next to her with his arms crossed. Then abruptly he sighed and shook his head as he ruffled his hair roughly as if he were disappointed at something. He had been warning Katline and Katharine about everything from the beginning, and he had been guiding both of them to fight more properly and teaching them how to fight "as a team" by making use of every action of their partners, all while standing behind.

"Four more. Switch!" Eshwar yelled, and they obediently did as he said. Katline and Katharine switched positions; Katline jumped on the tree and fired her remaining arrows to keep the last four wolves at bay, while Katharine collected the arrows on the ground that had fallen after the dead wolves de-spawned.

"Move it!" Eshwar yelled when Katline fired her last arrow, and Katharine zoomed towards her, pulled her back, and took the lead after tossing the arrow in the air, which Katline somehow caught perfectly.

'Mind's eye.' Seol So-Young muttered in her mind as she glanced at Katline and Katharine.

'Hmph.' She snorted inwardly and her gaze slowly moved to face Eshwar.

[ERROR]

[ERROR]

[Insufficient level]

"!!!" Seol So-Young felt a soul-chilling shiver that seemed to proclaim her DEATH.

WHOOOSH

A massive black-scaled king cobra manifested into her reality out of nowhere and zoomed towards her, she stared at death coming at her; she couldn't even flinch at the sight and her soul had already seemingly left, and for the second time at the same day, Seol So-Young experienced death, one was unknowingly and the later was where she could feel, see, and even hear her own death.

BA-THUMP

Her heart thumped and she felt like that was her last heartbeat, and suddenly....

PATT

She felt a strangely familiar stinging sensation on her cheek, and her reality instantly crumbled. She was back in front of Eshwar, Katline, and Katharine when Eshwar slapped her, again. They were staring at her with weird looks on their faces, she slowly reached her hand out towards Eshwar while laying quite comfortably on Eshwar's right arm that held her from falling down, and finally her hand reached Eshwar's face, and as soon as she felt his warmth on her fingers, she broke down at all of the fears she hid inside while acting brave on the outside.

"Waaaaa!!!"
