The Story of A Villain

In a dark room, with no light what-so-ever, there are two men currently facing each other. The man that sit on the throne like chair, is a young man that looks no more than 18 years old. While the one that standing in front of him is Mordin Sola, the king of Sistine kingdom.

Mordin then gave the young man a news. "This is not good. The story about that so called 'super weapon' is turn out to be true. We just lost almost 150.000 of our forces, in a blink of an eye. A transmition from Toul has just arrive few hours ago, via the mana-com. The sender last word are, 'a giant spear of light falling down from the sky' before the transmition got cut off."

Of course, Mordin immediately send out some of his pegasus scout to check the situation. When Mordin read the scout report, his face then frown. The reports were as follow. 'Complete destruction of the city of Toul. The scale of destuction is approximately larger than the king city. The Eldia forces is currently searching for survivor.' Now Mordin is currently relay this news to the evil god.

"That three gods' puppet, he do seems to have a large amount of power. But no matter. Soon, Cratos will fall from his godhood. And then I, Atomos, shall rise to godhood once again. I can already feel divine power inside me keeps on rising, albeit slowly. All we need is more follower, and more time."

"Yes, the purging operation of the three gods religion is a success. With the exception of few villages and small cities, we manage to convert the people into following your religion."

"Good work. Although those three found out about me sooner than we've expected, it doesn't matter. Cratos let this war happen for more than 30 years, he'll get what he deserve, as I promise you."

"I'll look forward for it. I've been waiting 15 years for this moment. The moment I can pay him back for what happen that night."

In this 30 years of war, Sistine's neutrality is always been without a doubt. Under Mordin father's rule, Sistine vow to never help either faction for anything, even when they were threaten or when they try to buy them. But there's one thing that Mordin's father do, that made both faction wary, or even outrightly angry of him. He always grab peoples that try to run away from the war. This move is dangerous for both faction. Because with no people, both faction military and economics power will decreased.

Less people, equal less tax income. Less tax income, equal less money. Less money, equal soldiers salary reduction. Soldiers salary reduction can cause them to Riot, or worse, a coup d'etat. But, there's nothing that both faction can do, but to ask him to stop. Because both faction can't risk making another enemy. A rich one at that.

But then, something happen. 16 years ago when Mordin's family head toward their summer mansion, they were ambushed by a group of people. They were wearing civilians clothes, and armed with farmers tools. But by the way they move, it is clear that they were trained soldiers. When the assailants began their attack, they targeted the magic wagon that Mordin's family were on, by launching a large explosion spell, that knock the entire wagon upside down. In that attack, Mordin's entire family were killed. Leaving Mordin, who's still 12 years old, as the sole survivor.

Mordin, who miraculously survived the attack, began a nation wide search for the culprits. He even began to acuse the neighboring kingdoms. Of course, none of the evidence point back at them. The others even began to point at the opposite faction, just to make Mordin into their allies. Even now, no one knew who's the true culprits. The truth has been lost in time, and chaos.

But the situation got worse for Mordin. With no king on the throne, Sistine is at turmoil. Many of Mordin's relatives try to become his guardians, so they can have the temporal seat of power. Not only that, he lost many of his trusted people, in just few months. His butlers and maids got poisoned when they taste test his food. His allied nobles began to withdraw their help. His personal guards even got changed by assassins. This made Mordin's life and sanity at constant danger.

Then, when Mordin is at his lowest, Atomos appear before Mordin, and told him about the three gods. Especially about Kratos. The god that can, but wont stop this war that took Mordin's family.

Atomos' constant whisper, made Mordin starting to believe that this war got out off control because of Kratos. In the end, Mordin swore to himself to make Kratos fall from godhood and became a mere mortal, so he can kill him with his own hands.

"Atomos, I suggest we also bring out those giant beings. Although they are our 'hidden card', we can't hold back any longer. Time is of the essence, King Alphonse will not wait for us to make a move. We'll send some of those giant beings to retake Perak, along side few thousands uruk-kai. They can also serve as a morale boost when we send them out."

"From what I can see, your people from Perak is helping the Eldians. What will you do to them?"

"If they refuse to surrender, I don't care what happen to them. But I have some doubt that they will surrender, considering they found out that I treat them as a disposable pawn. But I'm sure some of those cowardly people will surrender, when they saw our 'hidden card'."

"I see... In that case I agree. I only manage to made less than 500 of them. I can spare you 200 of them, use it wisely."

Mordin give Atomos a quick bow, and then leave the room. When Mordin no longer visible, Atomos then teleport himself to some kind of lab. He then look at a large hideous monster, that was submerged inside a giant glass container.

"Time to go to work for you, my beautiful killers. My... neros."

The so called 'Neros', is Atomos' creation using his own blood and mana. The creature is 25 meters high. It have a head of a centipede, body of a muscular man, and two legs that shaped like a human plus four that look liked a spider's legs. It also have a long hand that have some kind of mouth with a tunnel full of teeth on its left hand, and five razor claws on its right.

Everyday, Atomos will use up all of his devine power to make a clone of it. But now, thanks to the increase of follower, he no longer need to use up all of his devine power.

After calling the Neros, one of it began to move. It then use its sharp claws to break the glass, and then kneel on one knee in front of Atomos.

"Good boy."
