In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

Reaching out, she opened her palm, signaling her that she had something to give him.

"Here are your keys," Sophia said softly.

Theos looked at the keys for a second. This one was covered in a dark shade with gold edges, and in the center, the gold letters were gathered to form "Theos Von Fallen" as the name of the key's owner.

He clutched the keys, thanking her. "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome," she said with a slight smile.

With everything ready, Theos only had to do one last thing before he left.

Staring at Sophia, he put on a serious expression. "My key locks it completely; I guess they can do that here. That it can't open my room, plus if they use it for crimes, it won't be my responsibility anymore."

Sophia watched Theos with satisfaction; not every student told her that, mostly she had to offer it.

She nodded. "Okay, just give me a few minutes... If you want, you can come in, you can be sitting on this couch," Sophia said, opening the door wider to reveal a large light blue couch.

He nodded as well, agreeing to this. He walked into the office and sat down. Quickly Belle offered him water or some beverage, but Theos declined. Mainly because he didn't want anything that the woman offered him.

For reasons that, when he remembered, it made him even angrier.

Sophia noticed that Theos was treating Belle a bit hostile and more coldly, so smartly, she quickly took her to get the job done: locking the lost key.

Theos stood there waiting for a few minutes, where he just closed his eyes and settled on the couch.

Ten minutes later, he opened his eyes as he realized someone was approaching. Bringing his attention to the sound, there he saw Sophia and Belle.

"It's all set; now the lost key has been completely locked; you don't have to worry about your safety," Sophia stated.

Belle nodded, supporting her assertion.

Theos shrugged his shoulders. "Well then, I'll take my leave for today... See you later," he said goodbye, opening the door and leaving the office.

He had nothing to do there, why stick around? He's not an idiot that just because one of his favorite female characters is there he was going to ruin all his plans.

He's not that kind of person.

'I have my keys, I already locked my old keys... It only remains to approach Astaroth,' Theos reminded himself.

Before going to find Astaroth, Theos left his new keys inside the storage ring.

Confirming that all was well, he proceeded to walk again, this time, in search of a new ally.

In truth, even he is not sure he can make Astaroth an ally. Although in the novel they will be considered friends, that was through several interactions between the characters and months and months of proving that the two are the greatest geniuses on the planet.

Sure, Alan was in there, but it was mostly down to his luck.

'Luck...', he thought suddenly, stopping his steps. 'Alan's luck is monstrous, and even if it's ruining his best moments, the world should give a reward to the son of destiny or the son of heaven, as the Chinese novels would say'.

As he thought more and more about this, he deduced that the world was wrong. Doesn't the world care about its Champion? Alan, the protagonist, is being ridiculed all the time; Theos has already taken a lot of the limelight away from him, as well as rewards and, above all, contacts.

The contacts/allies Alan was going to receive for starring in the invasion at the Rasforh banquet, the prominence he would have when fighting against Theos and other youngsters, demonstrating his power.

How many allies wasn't he going to receive with all that? Undoubtedly, a lot.

But now, he was reduced to just a person Theos only sought out when he needed to farm negative energy.

'He became useless,' he concluded with a cold expression. 'And that's the problem, a protagonist became useless just because I took the limelight away from him twice... It's weird, could it be that someone else has been stealing from him? Or perhaps... Is there a villain stealing Alan's luck?'

Theos' imagination took flight. As a novel reader on Earth, he knew more than anyone else how many Chinese novels had villains stealing the protagonist's luck through a System.

If he originally had a Heroine Thief system, why wouldn't someone else not have a system? Although the odds are low, they do exist after all.

And if they do exist, you can't afford not to know of their existence.

Theos' constant thoughts, always flying through his mind and remembering countless things, finally stopped when he noticed an abnormality.

Among the South Buildings of the academy, the Student Zone, a young man with gray hair stood out for his pair of menacing eyes and... His aura, a chaotic aura, seemed to be murderous, but also an aura of tranquility... As if the same yin yang, like the contrast of war and peace.

Just by the young man's gaze, Theos knew who it was. The person he had been looking for was Astaroth Darlex.

The Fairy noticed it, too; his eyes narrowed further. He stopped his footsteps, the wind moving his gray hair rhythmically.

His eyes noticed how Theos did not stop his hands but came closer to him with his characteristic cold expression and icy eyes.

Indifference and menace.

This was the image of the two of them, two extremely powerful geniuses who, in just a couple of years, could be considered among the strongest in the world.

Their talent and skills are simply out of this world. Not even Theos' father, Matheo, showed such a level of talent at his age.

Not even Theos' grandfather was at his level of talent.

Amidst the heavy silence, Theos took the first step to break it. "I'll get to the point, since if the two of us are similar in anything, it's that we don't like to waste time."

"I want you to be my ally."
