《In My Head》Chapter 5 Magus Victor
Advertisement
I smiled, my head voices were finally giving me some sound advice. They were still coming and going, but the thoughts they put into my head as I was waiting were at the very least useful. I needed to hide what I was, gain information as I could, and... wait I suppose. Once I knew what the score was I could probably come up with something better.
Magus Victor came in after a brief delay. My assumption was that Shana had taken some time to tell him what was happening and that I was decent now. He was tall, perhaps in his mid-twenties. Short black hair and harsh eyes the same color that roved over the room as he entered. I had the feeling that trying to fight him would be a terrible idea, so for now I would content myself to observing.
Magus Victor gave me a brief once over before stepping over to the circle on the ground. "Good grief Kale. I knew you were foolish, but this is ridiculous. How this even worked I can't tell." He pulled out a piece of parchment and with a wave the circle disappeared from the ground, reappearing on the vellum sheet. "I'll have to study it to see what we can figure out." That done he reached down to pick up the book and look through the contents.
"It was supposed to be a simple conjuration sir, nothing but a basic skeleton mage..."
"Well, being that you were on the page for conjuring a minor fey, I'm not surprised you failed." He motioned to the book with the sheet. "You are incredibly lucky you didn't suffer some more violent form of accident. Though if you had, this young lady would probably thank you." He raised his head to look at me. "Ah, I don't believe I caught your name."

"I don't exactly remember anything other than some swirling lights from before I was here. So..." I just shrugged, having no better explanation.
"Concerning, if you'll come with me we can go to see the Institute's healer..." That was an oncoming disaster if ever I saw one.
"I don't think I'm injured, and would rather not." There was no way I wanted to be even in the vague vicinity of anyone who could know that I wasn't technically 'alive'.
"What, why?" The magus furrowed his brows as he looked at me.
"I... am unsure, but I get the feeling that I don't like healers."
"I really must insist. You've been involved in an accident involving..." He looked at the paper and cringed again. "Rather a lot of mana. You really should be checked out by someone."
"First I'm brought here forcibly and now you want me to go be examined by someone? This is sounding less like an 'accident' and more like a 'kidnapping' by the minute." I set my jaw and tried to look pissed. If I ended up in front of that healer... well, I wasn't sure, but best not to find out.
That seemed to give him a bit of pause. The magus seemed like the kind of person who was used to just having his orders followed, but also the kind of person who liked to abide by the rules and laws of wherever I was. "You won't be forced of course. I really think you should, but if you would rather not, that is your decision. Regardless this is a rather serious accident and we'll need an Lawspeaker to sort it out."
"I... don't know what that is, but okay I suppose..."
"Excellent." He snapped the book shut and placed two fingers on his temple and concentrated for a few moments. "Right then, we can proceed to the school's gate's when you're ready, guards will meet us there."
Internally I could only think one thing. Fuck.

The Villain's Double Life
“The Villain’s Double Life as the Hero’s Mentor," “Demon Nobles Want to Live Too: A Hero-Raising Simulator for the Transmigrated Villain," “Just Because I’m a Villain Doesn’t Mean I Want the World to End!” Cyrus Calvide was the second son of an aristocratic lord; haughty, vain and power-hungry. One day, when his ancestral inheritance manifested, he discovered he was able to steal other’s powers and abilities using demonic magic. Taking this as a sign that he was destined to rule over others and become the new king of this land, he poisoned his father, killed his elder brother, and embarked on the path to greatness, taking advantage of a demonic invasion to consolidate power and harvest the abilities of others in a cruel and bloody fashion. Until he was summarily defeated by the Hero as a mid-game boss battle and executed for his crimes, of course. When a dedicated fan of the RPG “Next to Eden” awakened in the body of the cruelest future Count, four years before the beginning of the game, he pledged to live humbly. He would let his brother lead and support the Hero from the shadows to ensure the demon invasion would be defeated and he could enjoy life in peace. Rather, he would have, if he hadn’t gotten the Hero’s mentor killed in a freak monster attack before the Hero’s training could even begin. How was he supposed to live a life of peace and luxury if the Hero couldn’t stop the end of the world!? Donning a mask, Cyrus took up mentoring the Hero himself; how hard could it possibly be? . . . Four years later, the kind jack-of-all-trades hero Leon had become a twisted powerhouse: alienating his party members, clearing enemy encounters in a single magical blast, and coldly ignoring the affections of the girl whose love would have allowed him to clear the final boss. He seemed to have plastered himself to his Master’s side, instead. Cyrus bit back his despair while the hero reached out to grasp his hand. “Please stop ignoring the saint, Leon; you can't beat the Demon King by grinding stats! You need the power of love, remember?” “Don’t worry, Master,” Leon smiled as he traced the lines of Cyrus’s palm gently, almost reverently. “I have all the love I need.” VDL is two parts plot and worldbuilding, one part slow-build gay romance, starring a man far too proud to admit he's in over his head and the hero who loves him. Should be updating weekly.
