Vergil was what one would typically call a villain in the original book—constantly creating trouble for the protagonist behind the scenes, making life even more difficult than it already was.
But despite being labeled a villain, he was also one of the main characters in the story.
Not much was known about his background, as it wasn't revealed in the first half of the book.
The only thing known about Vergil was that he was a...
Void Streamer.
In this age, the term referred to content creators who live-streamed their fights against Void creatures, generating income from their dangerous exploits.
Vergil was renowned as one of the youngest and most successful Void Streamers.
Almost no one dared to gamble with their life like Vergil did, fighting Void creatures at such a young age.
He was notorious for illegally streaming his battles in death zones, often taking on Beast-ranked Void creatures.
