Hunt The Villain Novels & Stories

Whoever did it had been merciless. People began whispering that the dungeon boss was sending a warning. I kept my head down. Victor had told me to sleep in his room the night before, but he never came back all night. I didn't tell anyone. After all, someone had just been killed, and everyone was on edge. One veteran even pulled out a rare item called the Specter Scanner, which could detect monsters. My heart nearly stopped. I might look human, but underneath, I was still a monster.

"It's a funnel. Morton knows the rift opened. He's waiting for us to walk straight into a kill zone." A faint tremor ran through the floor beneath my boots. I glanced down briefly before looking back toward the doors. Whatever Morton was running beneath this place required an enormous amount of power, which meant Theodore was close, and whatever was happening to him was still happening. I turned toward Moris and the four vanguard operatives behind him. "Deploy the holographic decoys. Standard double-sweep. Send the clones through the main archway first and hold the primary squad at the threshold."

They walked up to me. I didn't want to do this. I shut my eyes, feeling the surge of adrenaline in my veins. Time to hunt. “Do you know what they say about following the devil to the dark?” I asked, turning to face them. The dim light barely reached that part of the alley. I stood there quietly, my expression changing as I stared at them. They looked startled. One retracted his steps. The other called my bluff and stepped closer to me, eyeball to eyeball.

Deep down, Shanaya knew that her weakness was the source of their contempt, but she refused to acknowledge it. Her false friends poisoned her mind, whispering lies about Naina being the architect of her misery. Shanaya knew it was a deception, but her anger blinded her to the truth. She ran out of reasons to be good. Everyone labeled her a villainess, and Shanaya gradually embraced this identity. She transformed into a true villainess, never intending to harm Naina, but her fury consumed her. She sought to erase herself and her existence, believing that everyone would be happier without her. She knew that she was an unwanted character, a blight on the world.

He paused, “Witnessing their victims shivering in fear is fun for them, and it is their prize. If ever you felt one, don’t hesitate to run, slayer.” “Run?” Rhys curiously asked, “If I even have the flair to run away, I wouldn’t be here. The one who needs that warning the most isn’t me. In this house teeming with innocence, be wary, for what you are going, and about to lose.” She advised without leaving her gaze from her book. I am fully aware; she is pertaining to me, the house, and the kids. She is right. Now that I have involved them in this hunt, there is no going back.

Hunter paused, if only for a brief second before he continued, "I think I love her." * * * I looked down at my hands on my lap. What have I done? I should not have eavesdropped. Now it would haunt me for the rest of the day or maybe for even longer. The annoying thing about eavesdropping on the phone call was that I had no idea what the other person was saying so I had to fill the blanks myself. From what I had heard, there were two things for sure: Firstly, Tyler was Villain X. There was no denying it. I had heard Hunter beg him not to hurt me before. Why on earth would Hunter beg him to take my name out of his hit list if not because Tyler was the person behind all of the pranks?

He was the first creature to ever, in her entire decade of slaying, to escape her. Since that night she had been completely thrown off her game, and it was all his fault. Now she was crouched here, trapped in a building with a hungry and murderous rogue werewolf because of her sloppy and poorly executed plan. She pulled out her phone but hesitated with it. It was on silent, it would be a total rookie mistake to not have it on silent whilst out hunting. What made her hesitate was how dark the warehouse was. Once she unlocked it, even though her brightness was turned down, it would still be bright enough to draw attention.

Hunter paced around. “Did you think he could marry you?” She cried. “That man is a womanizer, everyone knows. But what did you do? You fell into his trap and exposed me. Do you know how long I have worked to bring those people down?” Hilary kept crying. “Women! Show them money and they will betray you in a blink of an eye!” Hunter growled. “I call this place a Carnage.” He looked around. “I’m sure you have noticed the blood around.”

Prologue Daniel's POV I went on with my life, not expecting even a tiny bit of happiness to find me, I was just living under the dark side of life. Killing, hunting monsters. No happiness, not even love. Nothing could reach my frozen soul. That is, if I had a soul.

Or more accurately, V413n71n0. Everyone wanted that bastard. They had almost all of cyber hunting the guy.
