I Will Become The Villain's Poison Taster Novel 소설 & 이야기

“…you will pray for the quick death I could give you.” I let her go. She stumbled back, cradling her red, burned hand to her chest. She looked at me like I was a monster from a story. Then she turned and ran, a stumbling, silent shadow fleeing back to her tent. I stood there, the cold poison in my hand, the smell of burned skin and fear in the air. She is a mouse, Veylara rumbled, satisfied. But the cat she serves has sharper claws. I know, I thought, tucking the vial into my own pocket. One enemy at a time.

Not defense. But war. I whispered the vow into the darkness: “I will end Valentina Bathory.” The shadows stirred. “I will burn the Cross from the inside.” The air shifted. “I will save the wolves she marked for extinction.” The moonlight intensified. “And when the throne she wants crumbles beneath her…” My eyes opened, glowing fierce violet. “She will finally learn the truth.” A slow smile curved my lips. “I was never her puppet.” The vow sealed. The hunt bega --- Night tasted like metal.

My heart froze when the tip stopped in my direction. “She used magic!” I turned to Leon. “Isn’t that supposed to be against the rules?” “Are you scared already, weakling?” She smirked. Weak what? “Bring. It. On.” “Truth or dare?” My fingers greased my stilettos slightly. “Truth.” “Hmm... let’s see.” Ivella inspected her fingers before turning back to me. “How does it feel knowing you will not be alive long enough to graduate? For someone as powerless as you, it’s obvious you won’t survive. So tell me, how does it feel?”

A wet, snotty wall. "Oh, please. You hated the fact that I was finally happy. My life has been hell, my stepmother hates my guts, my step-sisters wouldn't even acknowledge my existence, I have this stupid scar everyone shames me for, while you have everything. Friends, guys who literally throw themselves at you, family. While I have nothing. Why couldn't you let me have this one thing?" Tears slid down her cheek without hope of stopping and all I could do was stand there and take her abuse because she's right. Even if I didn't plan for this to happen. I became the villain in her story without even realizing it.

Not long after, a loud raspy voice vibrates into the room. "Yuan Zi Yan!" Xiu Ying enters the room with two others. A middle aged lady enters the room furiously, followed by an older man. Yuan Zi Yan? What's with the name similarities? I swear I have used these names for my novel before. In fact, I chose that name specifically for the villainess in my story. The beautiful lady from earlier, who I assume is my younger sister, backs up from the scene. After putting on a melancholic expression, she rests besides Xiu Ying.

Very cute. I shook my head. No. Just because he looked cute did not mean he could get away with not answering me. "Why are you acting all sweet now? Didn't you bring me here to punish me?" Suddenly, his expression changed, the temperature in the room rising a few degrees as he stared me down. Ever so slowly, he stepped towards me, his moss green eyes darkening the more he looked at me. Almost involuntarily, I gulped, my throat feeling dry as the air between us charged with something hot and sweltering, making something warm flutter low in my belly.

He motioned for the men in front of him to move to the side. Bending down, he sneered, "I really hate when I get blood on me. People already consider me a dastardly villain, I try not to look the part." He grabbed the sack of bones in front of him by the hair and bashed its face into the floor. Blood splattered over his suit. "Now look what you've done, you've ruined the suit too," Alexander pretended to pout. Johannes Chevalier looked up at him, tears, blood, and mucus covering his once pretty face.

He returns the first aid kit. I went into the room to take a rest away from him, his character is so undesirable. I feel goosebumps at the thought of fluttering for someone like that. Never again, not in this lifetime or another.

When he stubbornly finished off the last mercenary, Tyr grasped his chest as his body shook. “Haha, as I said, the Corpse Flower poison is now taking effect. I didn’t expect him to be quite so resilient. The poison hasn’t taken effect until now.” Tyr stood there as his visage twisted with pain. He glared viciously at Katia and Brother Seith and said coldly, “To have actually poisoned me. How despicable.” “Hahaha, the winner takes all. We don’t care for the process that gets us there, only the results.”

Long milky blonde hair with a pair red-violet eyes that can drown you into a bottomless pit, reddish lips, and a milky white complexion. This is not me! Clearly, not Nina Facelo!
