He was reincarnated into a stereotypical shoujo manga with magic and fantastical creatures- not as any of the main cast, but the villain's butler, a kindhearted but loyal to a fault beastkin who fought to his death to let his abusive master escape- a mere narrative tool to make the villain seem even crueler. Unlike the original, however, he was not kind, nor was he loyal. He is not above killing, stealing, and lying- and he did not care if he was despised. To avoid a meaningless, pitiful death, he would even scheme his way to escape fate. Upon meeting the young villain, however, there was a change of plans. In this second life of his, he'll bet everything on the villain, and fulfill what the original couldn't- he will help the villain find the happiness that was so cruelly taken from him- no matter what it takes.

After learning Ranboo was canonically half enderman I felt compelled to write some sort of backstory to this idea, and this is just that. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣. (This is not at all a theory book but rather a backstory I completely made up for entertainment purposes) Cover is by charliepaigeb on twitter, I really loved this artwork! *Completed 21/12/21

This is a MCYT Story, there will strictly be no SMUT, as I feel uncomfortable writing them. This is a Supernatural AU mixed with a School AU. -------------------------- Trigger Warnings!! Swearing Talks of fighting Yelling Angst (very little I think) Blood -------------------------- It was supposed to be a normal brothers day out. Why did this happen? How did this happen? WHAT happened? "Tommy?" "Tubbo?" "...no fucking way." -------------------------- Alternative description: [the longer one] Tommy, Tubbo, Phil, and Wilbur decided to go for a camp out. Then... Someone was attacked. What secrets will be unraveled and what will they find out about their world? Tommy woke up on his bed with his whole family around him. Phil, Tubbo, hell, even Wilbur. They all looked like they just finished crying. Tommy looked up. "Tubbo?" Phil and Wilbur heard this. "...no fucking way." This is my own Supernatural AU, with a small hint of a school AU because why not, thus, some bits of the story may not be what you are used to. -------------------------- I will take down this story is anyone involved expresses that they would like this story to be taken down or feel uncomfortable from reading it. There will be quite a bit of dialog as I am more used to typing in dialog than describing the surroundings. Of course, I will try to describe the surrounding area, but don't expect too much from it as I am not that good -------------------------- Now that the intros and stuff are over,,,, I hope you have a great time reading this book! Have a nice morning, afternoon or night wherever you are! [I will be reading all the comments because it's quite funny seeing people's reactions to stories i write.]
