《My Barista is a Demigod》Chapter 3 - Monochrome

Michael POV
Kyle: "Imma go to the restroom, don't go to work without me yeah!"
Kyle stands up and goes to ask the cashier where the restroom is.
Kyle reminds me of someone I used to know. An easygoing, annoying person. He was too kind for his own good.
Back then, our country, Xarunta, was sandwiched between two major powers, The Great Euzonia and The Great Empire of Zarastria. The wars continued for a century, threatening our borders.
We maintained our neutrality, however, The Great Empire of Zarastria wanted us to side with them. The Empire was infamous for being ruthless to their enemies, so our king did not want to anger them. However, Euzonia would immediately rush to our borders and invade us. Either way, both countries have stationed armies near our borders.
However, sometime during the war, our king stepped down. Taking the crown would be his son, the prince. But it was not the first prince, rather it was the third prince. His name, Crysostomo Jacobos Xarunta, would be imprinted to the history of the world as The Wise King.
He revolutionized our country, being one of the first countries to create magic tools. We maintained neutrality during the war, trading with Euzonia and Zarastria to push the magic tool research further. When we finally managed to create our magic tools, we bargained our neutrality with them as bargaining chips. We would create magic tools and sell them to both countries. If they want to monopolize the magic tools, then they would have to negotiate further with our backer.
Euzonia to our West, Zarastria to our East. Another neutral country resides in the South. The Union of Viele. A country rich in minerals, and is surrounded by a plethora of natural defenses, like high mountains and deep forests.

Making contact with them was not easy, but King Crysostomo had managed to forge a friendly relation with them. Viele had provided us with raw materials for creating and researching magic tools, and we provided them with resources that they wouldn't be able to obtain in their country, such as oil and a special ore found only in the sea.
Since the trade route would also go through Xarunta, lowering prices for trade was also offered. Lastly, they would be the official seller of our magic tools. Viele was to become the official seller of magic tools because most of the materials were provided by Viele.
Since then, we have secured our country, and we have managed to avoid being invaded.
But war never changes.
Zarastria has managed to almost deplete its resources and manpower because of the war. Their king decided to invade Xarunta.
"Our cause is just! Our king is absolute! Our power is true! We will leave our mark in history as the greatest country in the world!"
Chanting like madmen, Zarastria's soldiers marched to our borders. With the help of our magic tools, we managed to hold ground. Hearing about the rash decision of Zarastria, Euzonia has agreed to help us, lest Zarastria would gain resources that would threaten Euzonia.
However, nearing the end of the war, an incident occurred.
On the battlefield appeared one of the so-called "First Generation". A mage naturally blessed by mana, fully capable of bringing out the true power of mana, absolute magic.
Where did it come from? Is it an enemy? An ally?
With no concern for its surroundings, it blasted magic in all directions. This first-generation magician was famously dubbed as "Snow White".
She was a female with long silver-white hair and deep blue eyes. She wore a navy blue dress, paired with navy blue arm gloves and navy blue boots.

As for why she was nicknamed Snow White, it was her magic. She froze everything within a 1km radius.
Because of her magic, all countries that were on the battlefield suffered casualties, with Zarastria having the most casualties.
She was nowhere to be seen after that. She appeared out of nowhere and disappeared like smoke.
People would unmistakenly say that she ended the war. Zarastria retreated, but because of the casualty they received, they were unable to stop the advance of Euzonia, and they suffered defeat. The king of Zarastria was executed, and Zarastria was taken over by Euzonia.
Among those casualties from our side, was a friend of mine.
"We'll stop the war, you'll see! We'll stop them from invading us and we'll return to our peaceful lives. I sure can't wait for this war to end. Ha ha ha!"
Those were his last words. His corpse returned cold to the touch, frozen by eternal ice. His face was of astonishment, but his mouth was curved. He was smiling. Surely he thought that Snow White was some sort of ally.
And I can see him in Kyle.
He might've not been able to see how peaceful our country is now. But he was there to make it happen.
Employee: "Here are your orders! Thank you for your patronage!"
Kyle: "Thanks miss! Let's go Michael, we don't want to be late now yeah? Ha ha ha!"
Michael: "Yeah, sure."
Cairu, you've made it happen. This is the peace you wanted. I'll live for your sake too.

Villain: The Play of Destiny
Keith, a vieux riche, spoiled and cherished, heir to the Demiliore Consortium, lives his life at large. Power, Wealth, Fame; He has it all. But is it all just a dream? With a set of memories, the knowledge of the future, in a play orchestrated by the destiny, knowing well that he is born to be a Villain, will he prevail? Or is he going to fall at the hands of the Child of Destiny just like he did in the nightmare that haunts him? Author's Note: Yes, the story is heavily influenced by Urban-Fantasy Chinese Novels. Don't read if you have a problem with those types of plots. 'Cliche' plot elements are bound to appear, so if you easily get triggered by such things, keep away. And I would advise you to not even start the story if you are the ardent believer of 'Good shall prevail over the Evil'. Keep away! MC here is a Villain! But yes, he is not someone deprived of emotions, even though he is a Scum. So, do not expect an outright Evil MC either. I don't write Netorare. Don't worry about it! Warnings: > Dark Elements > Sexual Content> Traumatising Content> Gore> Manipulative MC> Parallel World (Almost a new World)> Fantasy Elements (Full-fledged Fantasy later)> System> Slavery > Contains themes that are viewed as Taboo in our world, but not in the world this story is based in. Update Schedule: Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday on WebNovel, ScribbleHub, MSB, and RR. More frequent releases on Patreon with 25 or more chapters each month.
