Deception V

I was currently sitting on a chair, and in front of me was the elf girl sitting on her bed. There was an awkward silence between us; it was obvious that she was still nervous. To her bad luck, I knew what she was thinking; after all, I was listening to every thought she had about me. Using the 'mind reading' feature was risky for me. What I knew about that feature was that my body and soul were left unprotected for a certain amount of time. No matter how powerful I was; if I was attacked at that precise moment, I would be easily killed, without a doubt. I was powerful, but using that feature weakened me drastically. I dared to use the feature in this case only because there was no one around who posed a danger to me; the guard at the door had left some time ago to report to the king.

Reading the girl's mind was fun. She had invited me into her room, and here we were, facing each other. I thought she had worked up the courage to strike up a conversation with me, but her courage fell apart. We had been silent for over five minutes now, staring at each other. Every now and then I would look away; the girl was unable to maintain eye contact with me. This was funny in its own way; it wasn't that I liked to annoy her, but I found the thoughts she was having funny. The girl was in a dilemma about how to talk to me; she thought about talking to me like an arrogant princess, but another part of her wanted to talk to me and make friends with me. I already knew what the girl wanted from me: she was looking for a friend. After all, being a princess and a potential heir to the throne of this kingdom, she was overprotective. According to the information I had gathered by reading the thoughts of the different people who passed through the mansion, the elf girl had no friends; The only people she interacted with were her aunt, her grandfather, her father, her mother, and the elemental. The girl was dying to make a friend; unfortunately, she couldn't have friends from other noble houses, and the reason for this was because they would try to take advantage of her. Being one of the king's daughters wasn't easy; from a very young age, the girl had been instructed to be careful with whom she associated. It was overwhelming for her, but she followed the rules her family had imposed on her. It was obvious that she loved her family very much, even if it meant not being happy. One of the elf girl's thoughts caught my attention; she was thinking of asking me to be her friend. The 'mind reading' feature let me hear the exact voice of the person; it was as if they were speaking to me, only directly to my head.

After learning about the girl's situation, I began to understand why her mother and father pampered her so much; they didn't want her to feel alone. Any child would feel alone if they went through what she was going through. According to the information I managed to find, there had been other kidnapping and assassination attempts targeting the girl, but they had been thwarted by the king's royal guard. Without a doubt, it was very worrying that too many people were after the girl. Personally, I didn't like that situation at all. If someone were to put the people chasing the elf girl in front of me, I would tear them all to pieces; I would take care of annihilating even their souls, with my current powers that was possible, but I was running out of time. I had wasted too much time and I had other things to do. Staying in this kingdom for too long would also be dangerous for me; After all, if I stayed in this realm for too long, the enemies of the elves would become my enemies, and it was more than clear that I did not want to have a confrontation with a being of Gardolak's caliber. That thing did not even have a race; it was a unique individual; there was no one else like it, and the worst of all was that there was even a creature capable of killing Gardolak. I had to be very careful. Since my arrival in this new world, I have only encountered many problems; it seemed as if the world did not want me to be alive; it was as if it rejected my existence. Powerful individual after powerful individual kept appearing; dangerous situation after dangerous situation. Thanks to my power I was still alive, but one thing I knew, and that was that if I was defeated, no one would come to save me; that was my concern; no one would be willing to save me in this world; I had no one to trust; I only had myself and my power.

If someone asked me what I think of this new world, I'd say it sucks; I find its people disgusting, especially humans. I knew my race was human, but that didn't stop me from feeling disgust; I've always been disgusted by a certain type of people: evil people. Every time I see one of them, I feel like killing them. In my past life, I made a living screwing them; in my past life, there were plenty of evil people. I have to admit that I'm crazy; I loved killing evil people; I've always been repressing that part of me; after all, I didn't want to waste the efforts of the people who loved me. Obviously, one person alone can't fight against the injustice of the world; it's more than clear that you'd die if you did. That's why, in my previous world, I only made a life of screwing certain types of evil people; I didn't dare mess with drug dealers; I mean, I'd be digging my own grave, but it wasn't the same story with thieves, people who were willing to take other people's lives just to take a valuable item from them. Every time I got the chance to stop a certain person, I did it; I didn't waste such an opportunity; I was filled with euphoria every time a bad guy fell or suffered. The police, who were supposed to protect people, didn't do it; they just robbed people. It was fun to expose those kind of people and make their family hate them. Most of my past life I tried to keep myself in line; I tried not to cross the line, but that was only because I didn't want to waste the effort my family had put into me. You could say that a part of me, the exemplary and righteous part, wanted to pay them back in a good way, but the evil part of me madly and insanely demanded that I punish the bad guys. I never dared to kill anyone, but I did take it upon myself to kick them to the ground. I didn't consider myself a good person, but I didn't consider myself a bad person either. Even now, in this new world, I'm not willing to change; I'll keep doing what I was doing. I've already experienced death once, and I'm not afraid of experiencing it again; if I must die, I'll drag as many evil people as I can with me.

Coming to this world was a complete surprise for me; I don't know if it was a mistake; the truth is that I don't care; whatever happened, I'm only sure of one thing: I will only abide by my rules; I will not use the rules of this world; it is more than clear that if you use the rules of the world you will die. One of the reasons for my death in my previous world was because I did not carry a firearm; for good citizens, firearms were not allowed, but curiously, evil people had access to them. Personally, I consider firearms to be for cowards; I prefer to solve my problems with my bare hands.

Personally, I consider all people who kill to be evil, and I am not out of the equation. Since that day when I murdered those people, I became evil; I knew what I did and I will not apologize for it. If there is a hell, I will pay in hell. Perhaps a murderer like me cannot deliver justice; I should not even be talking about justice; that word should only be used by certain types of people. As for me, I will not use such a word; instead, I will pay an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, evil for evil. My conviction grew with every second I looked at the elf girl; just seeing that tender creature warmed my heart, and at the same time an irrational and dark thought was born within me: the desire to kill, to destroy, to annihilate the people who were after the girl. A plan to kill those people had already been formulated in my head; I was not entirely sure that I would come out alive from a battle against those people; After all, the creatures I would have to face were not humans; they were things that usually could not be defeated by humans; things that even in this world were considered just stories, but that did not matter, since I was willing to use all my power to the fullest. These creatures, although they belonged to another race, did not seem to be that different from humans; their modes of operation were identical.

If there was one thing I knew, it was that to take the elf girl's life, they would have to use everything they had, because when they came looking for her, I would use the authorities I had in my possession; I would not only use the power I stole from Gardolak; I would even use weapons. As for the two rats that had snuck in, I had them fully identified and watched; those idiots thought I didn't know they existed; too bad I would take charge of killing them slowly and painfully; I would keep all their skills. I had made many plans in my head; too many plans; those two fools did not know what awaited them. And as for the elf girl, I had a gift for her, although I was still preparing it; it would be an insurance that would help protect her life. I would be very upset if the girl was killed after all the work it cost me to keep her safe; and if by chance someone managed to kill her, I would have no choice but to find him and kill him along with all his companions; After all, I am a bit of a vindictive person and I don't like people messing with little kids. The gift I would give him would not be just anything, although it would be a prototype, since I doubted that I would have enough time to create something perfect.
