A slow, mocking clap echoed through the darkness. A voice—smooth, rich, dripping with amusement—purred into existence.
“The end?”
Laughter followed, low and sultry, curling like silk in the air.
“You must be kidding. Do you think a little thing like fate can stop me?”
A soft hum. A pause. Then a wicked chuckle.
“Love? Kindness? What use are such things when fear is so much sweeter? I was never meant to be saved, my dearies. This is no fairy tale.”
The voice sharpened, rich with delight.
“This is a villain’s tale.”
A gust of wind howled, the shadows trembled, and the air crackled with unseen power.
“And it is not over. In fact…”
A pause.
A single chime.
> [Ding!]
A cold, mechanical voice rang out, devoid of warmth yet brimming with eerie purpose.
[Greetings, Host. I am the Villain Reform System.]
[Your mission: To prove that even the darkest villainess can be redeemed.]
[Failure to comply will result in execution.]
Silence.
Then—softly, slowly—the villainess laughed.
And oh, what a laugh it was.
“Villain reform?” she mused, voice curling with amusement. “Nah.”
She tilted her head, grinning into the abyss.
“Let’s go full evil.”
> [Ding!] Villain Route Activated. Good luck, Host.]
