Villain of my own novel

***

Inside a dungeon filled with dense lush greenery.

"Who are you, love? Hm~" Eshwar asked in a playful tone as he leaned dangerously close to Seol So-Young, who was having a hard time not to lean forward and just kiss the man in front of her, regardless of the consequences.

She leaned forward with a dazed expression and continued until the vein tied her neck tightened, since Eshwar was leaning back as she leaned forward with a playful smirk on his face.

"I'll give you what you want." Eshwar said and leaned forward towards her ear. "Only if you answer my question~" he said as his lips slightly touched Seol So-Young's right ear, unknowingly, before he leaned back to look at her in the eyes.

BA-THUMP (5x)

Her heartbeat rose sharply in response to his words, and in her daze, "I am..." she mumbled, and before she continued her words, she snapped out of it and said, "Seol So-Young." She completed her sentence with her name.

"...." She noticed Eshwar's face twist in ire, but since it was only for an instant, she thought she saw it wrong.

"Hm~ is that so? Alright, since you gave me the answer to my question...." Eshwar said and leaned forward towards her ear, and "I'll give you what you want." He whispered in her ears, leaned back stared at her in her eyes before leaning forward again, as if he would kiss her, keeping his promise and giving her what she wanted, maybe because of his playfulness, he brushed his lips past hers and pressed against her, she was pushed back to the tree and this time his arms moved, brushing past her slim waist and when she readied herself for what's about to come as her expectation rose, she felt the veins that tied her to the tree loosen.

She thought that Eshwar didn't like to play with his 'things' tied up, and, of course, she wouldn't deny anything if it meant that she would get what she wanted. She raised her arms to hug him tightly, but Eshwar instantly disappeared and appeared a few steps away from Seol So-Young.

"...." Seol So-Young frowned in confusion as disappointment welled up inside her, and when she opened her mouth to question him,

"I gave you what you wanted in return for your answer." He said and his playful smirk widened, turning slightly ominous. And in response to his question, the frown on her beautiful face deepened.

"What? You didn't want to get free from the ropes?" Eshwar asked and killed the entire mood and anticipation that she deluded herself in.

'Playing hard to get, are we....' Seol So-Young smirked inwardly and determined herself that she would make sure to make him fall in love with her.

Meanwhile.

A red-long-haired handsome man stood in front of a massive guild building, and it was without a doubt at least ranked high in quality. He wore a causal outfit, containing a red coloured t-shirt, black coloured trousers, and a pair of red loafer shoes.

His face seemed like he was in his mid-thirties, filled with dark circles below his eyes; his shoulders had slouched forward; and he seemed like he was under a lot of stress, but instead of decreasing his charm, it increased it in a certain way.

He walked into the guild building and fell prey to the curious eyes of the guild members. Of course, it was natural because even though he wore a casual outfit, there was a certain demonic charm about him that seemed to incite the opposite sex.

He gradually made his way towards the receptionist of the Bronze Scars Guild. Even she seemed dazed as she didn't respond even though he stood right in front of her.

"Excuse me, can I visit the guild master?" Vinny asked the receptionist in an almost lifeless tone.

"YES!!?" She yelped in a high-pitched tone and looked around before taking out a ledger.

"Your kind name, sir?" She asked professionally as if the earlier embarrassment was a lie.

"Vinny Grover." He said and noticed the woman flinch. She bit her lower lip with her head down, raised her head to look at Vinny, and her face turned serious.

"You need an appointment to meet the guild master." She said it in a cold tone, and her earlier respect and politeness diminished as soon as she heard his name.

Vinny clenched his fists and bit his lower lip in shame; he dangerously glared at the receptionist, and when he noticed that the woman didn't even flinch, he took a deep breath and calmed himself before nodding his head.

"....I have aN APpointment." He spoke as calmly as he could, but a squeak in his voice betrayed him and aroused a round of snickers filled with mockery.

"Yes?" The receptionist tilted her head innocently, pretending not to have heard what he had said.

GIRT

He gritted his teeth strongly and glared at the woman, who wore a confused expression on her face.

"I HAVE an appointment." He said.

"Oh! Is that so." The receptionist feigned surprise and nodded to herself before glancing at the ledger.

'F**k! A mere receptionist dares....' Vinny thought inwardly; his inner voice had a strange hoarse, demon-like voice mixed with his own, but Vinny wasn't surprised in the least because it wasn't the first time something like this had happened.

BEEP (8x)

She dialled a number on the small square-shaped device on her desk, which was a mana communicator. Soon a bearded man's hologram popped up from the device, he had dark brown hair and black eyes, he was the guild master and Vinny's very own father, Norvin Glover. And a conversation took place, but not a single pep of voice sounded out of it and after a few seconds, the woman bowed and ended the call.

"The guild master said he is busy and asked you to wait for a few minutes." The receptionist said and sat back on her seat, completely ignoring Vinny's existence.

'Where the f**k did he seem busy! F**king son of a bit*h, is he playing hard to get (?), if I could, I would have killed everyone in this guild.' Vinny thought.

"Haa...." Vinny sighed and waited right in front of reception because he knew more than enough about his father, who would find a reason in anything he does and kick him out of the guild building saying that he was being disrespectful.

A few minutes later.

"If I don't get the answer I require from him, by tomorrow somebody else may need to take over the guild master's position." Vinny said it under his breath, but loud enough for the receptionist to hear, and she froze when she heard his words.

"What?" She asked with deep frown and waved at the guards to come there.

"You heard me?" Vinny feigned surprise, acting the same way the receptionist did before; she knew what he was doing and she couldn't help but glare at him.

"Toss him aside and make him kneel." She ordered the guards. Her words took Vinny by surprise and made the guards grin widely before dragging Vinny out. He simply let them do what they wanted because he definitely had to get his answers today and swore inwardly to make them pay for this humiliation.

"1 hour!" Vinny announced, and everybody present flinched at how cold his roar sounded.

"You have 1 hour, after that the massacre will begin from the bottom to top." He announced and everybody felt a chill run down their spines.
