Becoming the Villain.

(Danny's POV)

I immediately got out of the carriage, looking at the distance. I saw 5 people riding in their griffins. All of them look eye-catching but the one in the middle. The one who is leading the way. He's the one who truly stands out.

He has this ginger hair and a lean body, Just like his accursed mother. He has this killer smile that made everyone comfortable around him. I never felt anything like this. I felt something was killing me. This feeling, I never felt this extreme hatred towards another person?! I never felt this kind of extreme emotion in my life before. Even though I keep saying Danny and Percy are different individuals but this extreme hatred! Calm down, calm down! Memories flashed through my eyes. My memories, NO! These are Percy's memories. Just remember every single one of them slowly rips my soul into pieces!

'Oh, Percy. you're caged in your past and unable to move forward.' I said in my mind, trying to convince him or myself.

"Wrong." A shout from somewhere.

It startled me, I searched for where the shout came from, but I didn't see anyone, just Lea tiredly coming out from the carriage, Markus aiding Lea.

They didn't seem to hear the shout. I felt a stare. I looked at the distance again where the group of 5 is flying towards us.

The emotions inside of me started to calm down after a while.

The griffins majestically landed in front of me. I am examining all of them. Everyone is familiar to me but I still have this strange feeling every time I meet other people with who Percy is acquainted.

3 males and 2 females and all of them look unique in their way.

On Roy's left side, the man looked wise and composed with his glasses, he looked like an intellectual. a Scholar who seeks knowledge. For others, he looked weak because of his skinny body but don't underestimate him. He came in just second in power after Roy. He has these unique powers and his perception is extremely powerful. He even has this ridiculous op skill.

*Time freeze.* It didn't stop the time itself but just your sensation of time. it could be used on an individual or in a group. His name is Alvertos Stafford, Mr. Virgin Playboy.

Next to him is a girl.

She was like the embodiment of laziness. Her body slouched, her eyes are like going to sleep at any moment. but behind that lazy appearance is a unique charm, She was even too lazy to change her clothes! but she is a cute girl with chubby cheeks, it makes you want to pinch it. With her power is lazy too. She just needs to stare at someone who is injured. It will heal visible in the naked eye. She didn't even need to chant nor touch the wound to heal someone. she could even do it to herself. Her name is Yzabell Woods and she is cute. She is just cute. Cute like a Cat.

On Roy's right side is a girl. An elf... A very enchanting elf, I thought the Elf's are just stereotypes and overrated but damn! seeing them on-screen and seeing them personally is extremely different! Elves indeed have this strange charm in them. With stereotypical blonde hair, blue eyes, and pointy ears for an elf. They have this charm! No wonder they are always portrayed as slaves. I even now wanted my elf slave. Wait, what the f*CK I am just thinking. Anyway, her abilities are versatile and powerful. She could do almost anything. Magecraft, swordsmanship, bow and arrow, cooking, etc and her name is Vesana Starjade, the Oneesan-zoned, yes, Roy just sees her as an older sister and nothing more than that.

Next to Vesana is a pretty normal boy. He had this ordinary appearance which is why he indeed stood out. if you put something normal in a group of abnormals. The normal one will stand out of course. Being normal in an abnormal group was the abnormal part. like every single member of the group is a bunch of weirdos, you are the only sane person.

His skin is quite rough, he has a bit of freckle. He has this kind smile. he is a merciful person. He even did forgive 'Zadicus' for everything he had done but unfortunately, he was almost killed by him too. Thankfully, from Roy's godly plot armor. He managed to save his life. his skills are pretty mediocre but not that bad. He only had one unique ability. Ability to look to the future but it comes with a great price... He played a major role in defeating Zadicus and his Demonic Army. His name is Cal Aston, he is a fcking saint.

And the final member of this group...

Lea and Markus half-kneeled as they greeted Prince Roy with respect and honor. Damn! Seriously!!

F*CK!! I felt something burning inside of me. I was wrong! Lea didn't treat me with respect because she was a wild woman but because she thought that I am not worthy of her respect! I don't want to admit it but this was her personality back in the novel. This is her attitude towards me. No, I mean Percy but still.

I am a F*cking prince! How dare they! and for Markus' attitude towards me, he didn't even show this level of respect towards me. I already anticipated this but why do I still feel this burning emotion of jealousy and hatred.

Damn it! Calm down. keep it cool.

I looked over at Roy, I called out.

"Brother," I said, slowly walked towards him with wide arms. He had this surprised expression but regardless he hugged me back.

"You seem different than before Brother," just by hearing his voice, I felt it was an annoying grating sound.

"Yes, brother. I am indeed different. Different from before." I said,

"In this adventure of mine, I felt I gained something"

"What is it?" Roy asked, he worriedly smiled. Damn, caring for a brother who has the intention of making you suffer.

"A very confusing experience... where everything felt surreal," I answered.

"Don't worry about it. Let's just talk again in the palace, our father is worried sick about you." he patted my shoulder.

"Come on, let's use the griffins so we could go home now."

***

We landed in a huge courtyard. This courtyard feels like home.

I examined the entire courtyard. It was just a plain one with one tree, a bench in the center of the courtyard.

A familiar woman wearing a shocked expression stared at me. This woman had long black hair that reached her waist. Her eyes are dark brown, she had a very simple white dress and she looked a bit skinny.

In her younger days, her long black hair seemed to shine but now... She seemed tired, her hair seems to have lost its healthy glow and some of it is already white.

This was Percy's Mom.

Maria Ashton. She's from a middle-class noble family called Ashton.' She didn't have a talent for magic nor did she have any unique talents that almost the entire harem has.

She was just a tool for the Ashton family to gain access inside the upper-class nobles and the Imperial family.

She was just a woman sacrificed for the family's benefit.

The Emperor loved her and she loved him too. She didn't have any impressive assets except for her beauty. Her background and talents are mediocre but her loyalty towards the emperor is something I could never understand.

When Percy massacred his way towards the throne room, His father was already defeated by him, he was just about to kill him. His mother suddenly appeared, begging him to spare his father. Percy was shocked by his mother's appearance, a silhouette appeared behind his mother... He saw his mother's pained expression and begging expression, her mouth moved but no voice came out. PERCY ROARED!

'Spare him' He heard it from his mother, even without a voice, Percy seemed to hear it.

"This is the price..." Percy heard a voice.

Percy's vision suddenly turned black, something inside of him shattered.

His vision returned, he found himself sitting on the bloody throne, dead bodies surrounding the entire throne room.

Servants, guards, siblings, his father, and his mother. All are dead.

He looked towards his right hand. It was a hexagonal mark filled with strange patterns... It was the Demonic Key.

"Come forth Demons!" Using the souls of those who died, even his mother. He sacrificed every single one of them. To summon the demons from hell! A big portal opened in the center and horrifying demons came out.

"And kneel before your new Dark Lord!"

"Zadicus."

***

Maria hugged me like there was no tomorrow, she sorrowfully cried.

Something inside me wants to hug her back, apologize for everything that I have done.

"Mother, I am sorry." I heard a voice from nowhere. I heard a sob... but I didn't try to search for where that came from because I already know where he is.

It was inside my head...

'Percy.'

"Mother, I am sorry," Percy said as he hugged her back so hard and cried miserably.

I lost control of my body.

I realized I was just watching this...

Percy and I are not the same. Even though I am feeling whatever he is feeling. I thought that we were the same person but it seems I was wrong.

Two souls in one body, we never fully merge. I feel what he feels is because we are tied in one body. We are connected by the body. It was just like two different kinds of liquid in one bottle of glass.

'Water and oil.'

Interesting...

"Oh, Percy, my child." Her mother sobs.

I suddenly felt everything happening right now is a big joke.

MWUAHHAHAHAHHAAHAH!! I laughed madly, seeing what was going on in front of me. I was laughing inside but my appearance didn't show it otherwise. Because right now, Percy is the one controlling the body.

"Oh, Percy... I know you saw my memories, I know you saw your future but you know what kind of person I am." I said coldly.

My vision suddenly turned dark. I panicked but I calmed down.

I looked around me, I saw a light in the distance. I walked towards it, It was just a pillar of light towards the skies. Everywhere is still dark.

I saw a meek and sickly boy standing in that light.

"Percy."

"Danny." He said in a serious tone.

"Oh, Percy... this is such a weird occurrence and yet it was interesting," I said coldly.

"..." he didn't respond, we just looked at each other.

I know he knows my past, I know everything about him and the same goes for me. I know him.

"How does it feel to kill your mother?" Mocking him.

"Oh, Danny, you're just pathetic." His face was full of contempt but I don't care about the opinion of an insecure bratty kid.

"How could you kill everyone like that?"

"To live, of course, I don't want to be caged by my sentiments. for you it was heartless but for me it was necessary. I am not like you, who regretted everything you have done.

"My heart is only for myself and not for anyone..."

"I am still a normal person who has their taste. I read some novels in my free time, I am still quite nervous around women but it doesn't mean I am a coward. If I like someone, I will try to court her in a normal way but if I am rejected, I'll just 'teach' her to like me.

"I am quite a genuine person, if I said I like you, I indeed like you and If I said I will make you mine, I will truly do it. If I hated someone... you know what I would do."

"You know who I am..." I grinned

"You're just a madman."
