*Evan POV*
“PLEASE STOP THIS YOUR HIGHNESS!!” Tifa came to my rescue and I spared no time to drank a lesser health potion before looking at my status
+50
Life: 90/160
Poisoned: loseing 1 life per second for 24 seconds.
The queen not only stopped, but flinched after seeing Tifa trying to protect me. It’s as if she can’t believe it. Wait, I thought to myself quickly, didn’t Tifa said that Elves hated her because she was a half breed? Oh no, Is the Queen even more mad or is she actually shocked beyond core, I can’t tell.
Tifa sounded like she was about to cry as she screamed at her own queen “I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT IT WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING!!!” She paused, I don’t know if it’s to hold back tears or to think about what to say next. “It was all my fault in the first place.” Tifa did her best to hold her tears back but ended up slowly crying, standing there with her hands open wide, protecting me from the Queens gaze.
I tried to look at the Queen just in case she decides to take down both me and Tifa but no, Her angry aura had dissipated as she was acting like she wanted to hug Tifa but kept hesitating. Looks like the racism still runs deep. But meh, I don’t really care. It was a close call and I barely survived. At this point I don’t think things would get worse.
*You feel an evil presence watching over you*
IT GOT WORSE, I REPEAT, THINGS JUST GOT A LOT WORSE!!! My thoughts screamed at me when I checked out my notification tab.
This is bad. This is REALLY bad! Until the player had defeated the Eye of Cthulhu, there would be a random chance of it spawning naturally. In case it was going to spawn that night, you would get that notification. Looks like regardless of what those Cultists do, I’m gonna have to fight off the Eye of Cthulhu one way or another.
Those words just mean the eye of Cthulhu will spawn naturally soon and if the cultists use the ‘Suspicious looking eye’ item, then I will have to fight 2 Eyes of Cthulhu and if I can't beat them till daytime then we're all dead, and to make matters worse, pretty much half the night is almost gone too.
“It was because of the Cultists!-” Tifa was screaming something to the Queen but I quickly cut in between them.
“Hey Guys! or rather, Girls!” I interrupted them, “I'm really sorry to ruin this moment, but we really need to go to your place before the Cultists summon the eye of Cthulhu. For some reason I feel like the Cultists have already started their preparation.”
The queen shook her head for a second as all the anger in her eyes had left her and what remained was her original graceful self with a tinge of sadness.
“The eye of what?” The queen asks me.
I hid my weapons behind me before putting them into my inventory. They don’t know about system and its function so let’s keep it that way. “Look,” I said, “I’ll explain later. For now, we've got no time left and gotta find those cultists first.”
Tifa started wiping her tears away and Sarah somehow woke up and came up behind me.
She sounded a bit angry, but at same time a bit sad. “Don't think you'll just get away with this. But for now, the kingdom comes first. What's the plan?”

I nodded and said “I don't know anything about your kingdom, but you guys do. Firstly, Tifa and Sarah go to the guy who ordered the lens mission. He must be one of the Cultists or at the very least should be helping them.”
They both nodded and then I looked towards the queen seriously. “Listen, We can finish our fight later, for now, get anyone who can fight and get them ready for the fight of their lives.” I paused for a second, “You might not trust me, but If I’m wrong then some of your people would just get annoyed for not letting them sleep, but if I’m correct then you should be prepared to see them die."
I stared at her and she nodded before saying, “I’ll trust you for now, as long as Tifa and Sarah trust you, I will trust you too then.”
I smiled, “Good enough for me! Remember, if we don't take care of this threat by sunrise then we're all dead. Prepare for the Worst.”
The queen looked hesitant but finally nodded.
I put my hand on my chin as I started thinking before saying, “I don’t think I will be much help over there at your place so, I have some plans in case the eye of Cthulhu gets summoned.” Which he will, “So, I'm going to go make some traps and prepare.”
I looked at the trip and they nodded, The queen however looked a little worse for wear, guess she strained herself a bit in our fight, “In case it does get summoned,” I continued, “I’ll swoop in and try to lure it to my traps. At that time, I'm gonna require as much back-up as we got.” I looked at the Queen and she nodded.
I nodded as my hand left my chin. “Alright. Tifa, Sarah the rest is up to you now, I'll meet you all later.”
I turned around and was about to leave but I heard Tifa say something “I wont let you down, Evan.” I waved at before heading into the wilderness.
Need to make a boss arena and fast!!
.................
*Mia POV*
{Author Note: In case you guys forgot, Mia was the Maid and good friend of Luna in her Side story.}
Darkness…
Pain…
I have no motivation left to do anything anymore…
I'm Mia, A maid and a great Friend of Princess Luna. We're of the Silver Daemon Tribe and there was a raid at our Castle. Almost everyone I knew was killed. Luckily my family, Princess Luna and the King and Queen were safe. Reid could keep them safe, I can trust him with their life but... He was adamant on doing the suicide mission for everyone’s safety. There’s no way he'll survive but his sacrifice would not be in vain, that’s what I thought.
After my Family and I thought that we were safe. My father said that we should let the horses go back to the castle, maybe it could help our King and Queen escape, to which I happily agreed. The problem came afterward that, as the people raiding our kingdom were searching for escapees and found us. They kidnapped me... but my mother and father were not so lucky... They killed them brutally.
Right now, there's a bag over my face, my hand and legs are tied up and i am lying down on the ground. I can't see anything... But even if I could, I'm not sure what I’d do… I don’t want to see anything… I don’t want to feel anything anymore… I dont want to be alive anymore…

I have no motivation left to survive... I don't want to do anything... Everyone I know is dead…
I laid there, wherever I was, on the cold hard ground. My eyes had dried up, I could not cry anymore. I could not feel anything either. Nothing.
So, I heard footsteps coming towards me... It’s probably them again, the murderers... Wouldn't it be better if they would just kill me?... I don't want to live anymore...
“ALL BECAUSE OF YALL'S FOOLISHNESS!!!” Someone screamed at someone else angrily.
“But he was too strong! He even Kidnapped Lenard and I'm not sure what's happened to him by now” It seems like the one who got shouted at responded.
“Fucking great! You all say the same things! It's a good thing that I kept a backup, otherwise we would all be fucked!” The voice that was screaming at everyone sounded both happy and angry.
“You're gonna use that girl? Doesn't the Prophecy tell us to use the Silver Haired Daemon as a sacrifice for our Lord Cthulhu? it might work but...” Someone else said, seems like there’s more than two people nearby.
“ SHUT UP!” The angry guy said, “Desperate time calls for Desperate measures! I’ve already made the Eye that will summon the watchful eye of our Lord. We will bring the girl to the altar tomorrow and take care of the ritual at such a time when all the Elves would be present at the festival.”
They were talking about something that I know nothing about but... A sacrifice?
Are they going to kill me?
That's better then.
I don't want to live in this world anymore either.
Everyone is already dead.
My eyes were already dry so tears stopped coming out.
I don't want to live anymore...
I was going back to sleep but heard a lot of thrashing around, as if someone was fighting.
The original angry guy shouted, “W-What?! How Did You two get in Here?!”
“So, Evan was correct.” I heard a woman’s voice. She sounded a bit childish and energetic, “You did betray our kingdom, didn't you Ralston!?”
I heard the sounds of fighting and metal clashing every now and then followed by some pained groans.
“I didn't want to hurt my own kind, but they were in the wrong.” I heard some other woman say, she sounded gentler and more mature than the previous one.
“Hey look at what he had in his backpack.” The energetic woman said, “Looks like this is the thing they needed to use. Search around this place, maybe there’s more things hidden around.”
I heard the sounds of footsteps going everywhere and things being moved. I then heard the noise of a door’s lock being open before the mature sounding woman said, “Sarah, there’s a kid in here!”
“What?” Looks like the childish woman’s name is Sarah.
Soon, the bag on my face was removed and the sharp light from the torches almost blinded my eyes. It took me a few seconds for my eyes to adjust and then I saw Two woman, no, Two Elves. One with straight black hair with a golden coloured pin on the top of her head. The other one was a bit shorter with blonde Twin Tails and a childish face but I'll bet she is older than me by a large margin because she’s an elf.
The one with the black hair looked at me worried. “Did they torture you?” She asked me, but I didn’t have the strength to respond. She nodded and came up to me before she started untying the ropes binding my hands and feet.
“Oh Hey,” said childish looking Elf whom I presume is Sarah, “Would you look at that. Another Silver Daemon.”
...Another?
I tried to talk but only my mouth moved and no voice came out, my throat was dry and sore. It hurt. My throat hurt a lot, but my strength was slowly returning to me.
“...Other? …Who?” With all my strength, I could only mutter those 2 words.
The woman who was untying me looked at me with pity and tried to give me a water bottle. but I stared straight at the blonde woman who said that there were more of me.
She made a troublesome sigh, “Relax Kiddo, your King, Queen and Princess are all okay. Even Evan is here with us. Well, not here but he’s nearby”
I finally relaxed as my body laid back down on the ground, the news made me happy... but... everyone else is still... Wait, Evan?
Who’s Evan?
“Ev-an?” I muttered again with all my strength, with my hands untied, I slowly grabbed the water bottle the black-haired girl was trying to give me and started gulping it down selfishly.
“Evan’s Evan though?” Sarah said before she looked like she realized something, “Oh Yea! He said he had another name, right? what did he say his other name was?”
“He said his other name was Reid.” The black hair elf next to me reminded Sarah.
I almost spat out the water in my mouth. “R-Reid!?” I started coughing from the water that touched the back of my throat. Tears started coming out on their own as I looked at Sarah in midst my fits of cough. “He’s alive?”
The black-haired Elf was trying calm me down but Sarah put both her hands behind her head and said “Hm? Why wouldn't he be? He’s got the skills and he’s tough, there’s no way he’s gonna die easily. By the way, the names Sarah. and that over there is Tifa.”
My coughing stopped as I quickly drank the rest of the water in the bottle. I could not help but smile a little. at least they were all safe. yea, I want to meet everyone again.
Light slowly returned back into my eyes.
“Alright,” Sarah said, “Let's go and stop the other cultists from rampaging. Tifa you bring the good news of the Cultists downfall to Evan, I'll take care of the others. also bring that kid with you too.” After Sarah said this, she turned around and walked away.
“Understood.” Tifa said as she started helping me stand up.
Finally, I can go back to them.
*Elizabeth POV*
As the queen of Elves, I should’ve been more open-minded but I got scolded by Tifa for my actions. but right now that doesn’t matter, I need to get all the archers ready. The fight with that lone Silver daemon has worn me out. I can't believe someone could withstand a hit from my tree vines and still remain standing.
Right now, I'm at the archer's quarters, trying to get anyone and everyone to gear up. If what Sarah said was true then we don't have a moment to lose, And I don't want to trust someone who would hurt one of us... Especially her... but I'm Elizabeth, the Queen of the Elves. I have to do what's better for the entire kingdom.
“Your Highness!” Rudolph, one of my trusted captains spoke. “Everyone is ready and are Stationed on their positions at their respective towers.”
I sighed in relief “Good, now we wait and hope everything goes well without any problems.”
he nodded and stood behind me.
I went to the balcony and started focusing on recovering my mana. I could see the archers on the towers ready with their bows in their hands. I just hope nothing goes wrong and that it's only a false alarm.
{Author Note: With Evan? Good Flippen Luck!}
“AWWOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!!!” I heard a loud monstrous scream coming from the clouds above and I felt an insane amount of pressure fall on me. My legs became unsteady and I fell down onto my knees, Rudolph had it better, he resisted the pressure and looked at me worried.
“Your Highness!?" He screamed at me with worry.
“I-I'm okay.” I quickly calmed him down before standing back up, “just what was that nois-?” I was saying something but my sentence was cut short after looking up at the giant monster Descending from the skies.
It was a Giant demon eye slowly coming down. it had a blue iris with a hint of green and many long bloody tendrils flowing freely from the back of it's large body, swinging wildly with swift, and smooth movements like that of an octopus. It was the size of a Small house, which is very big since a demon eye's size is around a normal human head.
I was worried, “Looks like Tifa and Sarah were late.” I just hope they’re safe. “Rudolf, tell everyone to open fire!”
“YES!” Rudolph screamed as he went off to the rest of the archers.
I hope we can take care of this thing.

The Exiled Villainess Returns
(Please heed the warnings above before reading) Reborn into the beautiful but deadly world of Ethetia, she comes to a sudden awareness that she is now Livia Katrina Valentine, a character of a game of a reverse harem she once played on Earth called Aster Academy: The Feuding Houses. But this revelation comes a bit too late. You see, Livia wasn't just anyone. She was not given the anonymity of being a background character, or even the blessing of being the heroine. Instead, she has bestowed the role of being the atrocious villainess. And that is exactly what she had been. As a result, Livia triggers her own death flag event at her debutante. Her memories of her past life have the grace to come only minutes before she is accused of poisoning the heroine, Amelia. But all is not helpless. Via last-minute intervention, Livia successfully manages to avoid having her head decapitated. Being exiled was a small price to pay for retaining a pulse. Plus, at least this way, Livia can finally start to live her life, to become more than just a cruel folly. Her exile should have been a new but unusual beginning to her story. But pitiless reality comes knocking. Ethetia had once only been a background setting in a game. A pretty and still picture that mostly went disregarded as the even prettier characters on the screen unloaded their dialogue, but now, it was Livia's world. As real and wonderous as planet Earth once had been, filled with small creatures with their own wills, ambitions, and needs. Such one creature decides that exile was not enough of a penalty. That Livia, the bullish and jealous tormentor of the heroine, deserves a fate more befitting of her past deeds. One worst than death. Livia's fate is ripped out of her hands. She is forced into a collar, sold to an empire rotten with greed, and placed inside a harem where she is expected to wither and die from the inside out. But Livia refuses to be forgotten. Burning with a deep rage against those who only wish to see her fall into her own grave, Livia makes a twisted promise to herself. A promise that pushes her through the darkest moments of her life and brings to light a newfound power rooted deep inside her. So keen to discard her as the villain she has once been, the little creatures in their own ignorance brought forth something they could never dream to fathom. A beacon of darkness.

Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.
