The Villain Series No. 1 Due to Zero almost wiping out the fictional dimension, Fictosa's system malfunctioned. It has failed to distinguish the boundary between two dimensions and allowed the villains from the most grossing and award-winning books to leave steps in the real world. And Adamas Riscarte, a villain in love with his author, grabs the opportunity to know the reason why she abandoned him after promising a sequel focused in his perspective. He wants to see her only to find out she committed a suicide. She leaves him a note containing an order. Bestowed with power, he vows to punish everyone who pushed her to death. He will leave no ounce of mercy for those who hurt his maker, and like the villain he is, he will make his own judgement. Content warning: This story contains suicide, suicide attempt, depression, self-harm, violence, trauma, miscarriage, death, and detailed killings that may bring discomfort for some readers.
