Salem's POV

"Monster."

"Villain...."

"Die...."

Those words echoed in my mind as I pass through the road full of people, feeling their eyes on me-- filled with fear and hatred. Each step I take, it feels like it's taking an eternity of suffering the abuse, each word I hear, I could feel a lot of knives stabbing in my back. I look at the people, who're craddling their loved one's lifeless bodies. They are the people that my family have just killed.

As for me, I haven't killed a single one. In my whole life, I have never killed a single person. And I don't know why, I find it really hard to do so. I don't know why I feel guilt and pity as I see these people tortured by my family. Something inside me, tells me that I need to help them. I didn't know why I've thought of that....

Despite of not having kill a person, I am feared. Almost the whole world fears me, just hearing my name makes their blood run cold.

Every villain would be happy to receive that kind of treatment, being feared, well-knowned, hated. But me, I hate it. I should be happy....but why do I feel so... I can't really describe the feeling but something about these emotions feels...off....

I ran through the hallways of the mansion and hid every wall as I see the heroes barging inside, killing each villain they see. As I see them disappear from my sight, I quickly ran my way towards the dead villain's body and stole all the weapons he has. I quickly run my way downstairs, taking back glances to see if there are enemies behind. As I reached the ground floor, I cover my head with my black hoodie and searched for the exit.

As I ran through the living room, I accidentally bumped to an A class hero. She noticed me and quickly pointed her sword towards me, aiming it to my heart. Out of instinct, I used my shadows to block it.

"Tsk. A villain." she gritts her teeth, looking at me with bloodlust. "You guys killed my family. And now you're going to pay for it. I, Alice Graham, shall have your head!" she growled.

Alice Graham? I haven't heard such a name. She's probably just some upopular A class hero.

She tried to slash me with her sword again. I blocked it with my shadow, then I quickly make a shadow snake to surround her body. She let out a yelp as she find herself trapped in my shadows. I tighten the shadow snaked that's surrounding her, until it finally reached the point that she's in too much pain to even move.

Suddenly, her comrades have arrived. And they all hit me with their magic. I lost the concentration and my shadow snake starts to loosen up from the woman. Seeing that I am outnumbered, I had no choice but to use my smoke bomb.

"Ugh-- What the-- Cough! Cough!" the woman started to cough. Now the enemies can't see me, I took this opportunity to defeat all of them in one blow.

As the smoke disappears, I pointed my sword towards the woman. She glared at me darkly. But as she took a look closer at my face, the dark glare disappears. She starts shivering in fear, her comrades as well.

"Salem...IT'S SALEM!!! THE DEMON!!!" one of her comrades shouted in fear.

"SHIT. WE'RE DOOMED!!! WE'RE DOOMED!!!"

"KYLLE!!! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!!!"

All of the A class heroes scrambled in fear, running away like cowards. Sigh, it's so tiring hearing those words everyday. On my way out, I fought through the high ranked heroes and managed to defeat the all who stands my way until I'm finally able to get out of the mansion.
