Villain of my own novel



"Well, he is a kind of party pooper; don't blame him too much."

"!!!"

Vine's, together with everyone else's, including Isha's, eyes widened in surprise when Eshwar's voice sounded from everywhere. Vine, who felt everything happening in his domain, felt nothing.

But then, abruptly, he saw what was different. The domain was covered in minute, dust-like particles, a few of which were right in front of his line of sight.

It wasn't long before Vine felt as if what he could see and feel were made to be so. Eshwar! He was playing around with Vine! Of course, it wasn't strange since he was strong, and the thought of him being underestimated didn't sit right with Vine, but instead of rage, it was fear that overwhelmed him.

What could he do?

Against Eshwar?

Vine glanced at where Eshwar was kneeling under the pressure that could potentially push a planet off of its orbit, and as if been waiting for Vine to gaze at him, Eshwar's figure turned into merely another dust particle with a puff and disappeared from sight.

"Eshwar? Where are you?" Isha asked after noticing him disappearing in a puff. Of course, she could see and feel those dust-like particles in the entirety of Vine's pink domain, but the reason for her eyes widening was the fact that each and every dust-like particle oozed the same presence only Eshwar could.

Each particle held the same power Eshwar, who was always with her, held, and that was what shocked Isha.

"Me? I'm everywhere." Eshwar's answer sounded from everywhere as he appeared right next to her out of nowhere and held her waist.

Another Eshwar materialized right in front of her and kissed her forehead, another manifested in her left, pulling her cheek playfully. It was only after three of them manifested that she understood that it the dust-like particle in front of her that manifested into him.

As if to prove her thoughts right, the dust-like particle right in front of Vine's gaze turned into Eshwar, who landed right in front of him without any expression on his face.

And before a second passed, millions of Eshwar's materialized everywhere in the domain, overwhelmed by the presences he was feeling, Vine clenched his head and screamed in agony before his domain broke apart.

Beginning from a crack in space, the domain shattered as if it was made out of glass and pushed out everything in the domain back into the real world.

In the underground facility that was dyed in blood, hundreds of Eshwar's crowded the place, together with Isha, Seo Hana, Katline, Frostine, Amanda, Dominic, Core, Arngrim, Louie, Belinda, Grace, and Neal, who couldn't make sense of what was happening, but what they knew was that they didn't need to worry about their safety for now.

Of course, Eshwar was all around the world, even in places one had yet to be explored. Well, it wasn't that surprising or strange since he could literally feel and sense the entirety of planet Antinoüs. It was as if an entire population of Eshwars was spread around the planet Antinoüs like parasites.

In front of his overwhelming powers, none, not even the gods were a match for him, let alone the monsters that could potentially threaten one's life or gold-like beasts inhabiting the unexplored lands.

"... This is annoying. Can't you just combine into one?" Isha asked with a pout. Looking at the sight in front of them, one couldn't help but question her state of mind due her being calm at her husband doing something impossible!

You want him to merge into one?!

Can't you feel each of them oozing the same level of strength?!

What would happen if he merged into one?!!

Were the questions that horded into the minds of those around Isha.

And Eshwar's answer made them understand that the truth was much worse and ominous than they could ever expect!

"If I merge into one, this planet will disappear without any trace of it ever even existing." Eshwar, in front of her, answered with a bright smile which made those around them shudder.

"Why do you think I was in the domain most of the time?" It was the Eshwar who held Isha's waist, that spoke this time.

"And why do you think I am keeping you locked up in there with me?" Eshwar who was pulling her cheek, spoke this time, as an obsessive and dangerous glint flashed in his eyes, making Isha shudder, but not in fear but delight; which was for whatever reason was even felt by her soul, that seemingly made her entirely happy.

Her obsession, which hadn't yet risen to such heights was delighted at the thoughts exploring the new heights set by, the reason for her obsession, Eshwar.

"Ummm.... Before you start doing whatever you are going to, can you do something about him?" Hana muttered while oozing envy which was understood by even those who weren't sensitive to such emotions, while also pointing at Vine who was surrounded by Eshwars.

"That's right, that's right!" Louie exclaimed under his breath as he stood cross-armed and nodded his head continuously, while Arngrim mirrored him.

"Can you get yourself together, like literally? We have been in a life-threatening situation, so we can get intimate easily to vent out stressful emotions, and I don't want to miss this chance." Core commented while glancing at Dominic, playfully, as a subtle blush crept up on the cheeks of the latter.

They-----Louie, Core, Arngrim, and the deceased Henry, always felt at ease whenever they were in Eshwar's presence, didn't matter what situation and from their current expressions and actions, it was clearly displayed that that feeling won't change whatever may have happened between them.

"I agree." Isha nodded her head as she pulled the Eshwar in front of her and whispered in his ears;

"Core with Dominic, Neal with Belinda, Arngrim with Amanda, Louie with Grace; these are the pairs that are going to end up together, aren't they?" Isha whispered, but, well, her whispers where clearly heard by the pairs mentioned, making them blush slightly while inwardly questioning themselves whether their feelings were that obvious.

And Eshwar, who understood that Isha didn't really want to hide the fact that they knew of the couples' feelings, decided to play along with her, because if she really wanted only him to hear it, she could have easily spoken to him through their telepathic connection.

"Of course." Eshwar whispered back while his lips tickled Isha's earlobe. With a soft giggle and playful smile, Isha asked a question that froze Eshwar. "Then what about Hana, Katline, and Frostine?"

"....." Without answering her question, Eshwar bit her earlobe and leaned back and turned to face Vine, who was wondering where he was and what he was doing there.

SNAP-!

With a snap of his fingers, except for the one in front of Isha, every other Eshwar disappeared in a puff. Of course, Isha and Vine could feel the dust-like particles which Eshwar had turned into, still lingering around in the atmosphere, but it wasn't long before they shot up at a speed of light and disappeared from their senses, to be never sensed again.

"Oi." With a bone-chilling yet hypnotic voice sounding in front of him, Vine shuddered before glancing at Eshwar's face which was inches away and jerked back in utter horror, falling butt first on the ground.

"Thank you for letting us experience something exciting in a long while. Since you let Isha enjoy her time for a few minutes, I'll send you off, peacefully." Eshwar stated.

'He's letting me go?' Vine thought, before;

'He's letting me go!' He exclaimed inwardly and jumped back to his feet and ran off.

'I better leave!! That crazy basta*d can change his mind at any given moment!!!' He thought.

In a matter of seconds, he was kilometres away from the spot he had been, yet he didn't stop running even for a second.

[Bye-bye~] He heard Eshwar's bone-chilling voice in his consciousness and turned to dust, without understanding what had happened before the lingering dust was blown away by the wind.

Back in the underground facility; the group strode out of facility, heading to their very own Adventurers Guild.

"Eshwar...." Isha called out while she and Eshwar walked in the back, hand in hand. Her voice made the rest of the group turn their heads back at them.

After a few seconds of unwavering eye contact, Eshwar kissed Isha and disappeared without a trace while Isha smiled cheerfully as she walked towards Frostine and ruffled her hair before pulling her to walk with her.

A few minutes later, Hana and Katline, who couldn't hold back their curiosity hastened their steps and reached Isha and Frostine who were walking in the front. "..... What was that?" Hana asked.

Even though Isha understood what she was talking about, she still decided to play dumb and questioned Hana back with a confused tilt, "What was what?"

A vein popped up on Hana's, Katline's, and even Frostine's forehead which made Isha let out a playful giggle.

"I told him my decision to stay here, with you guys, while my obsessive "husband" protested before giving up on changing my mind and warned me that he'll really lock me up next time, and he went home to spend his time with our daughter!" Isha exclaimed with a beautiful smile on her face.

"Wha...."

'All this happened in a few seconds? And they understood each other without even speaking?' They thought in unison even though they were unaware that all of them were thinking of the same question.

"Let's go! It's time to end this~"
