《Winter Wonderland》The Schemer of the Scalding Sands: part 16

"And there we have it" a voice called out. It was Jade.
"?!" Jamil flinched and looked towards the voice only to see a Yuuna, who looked betrayed for being used for his scheme and worried for the state Y/n was in. Along with the twins and Grim.
"So, you finally show your true colors! I bet you thought you were real slick, pullin' the wool over our eyes!" Grim shouted.
"How...How much did you hear?" Jamil stuttered. He was at a loss for words.
"All of it, from start to finish. Your entire conversation from the moment you left the lounge...has been live-streamed to the world from Azul's smartphone" Jade revealed.
"WHAT?!" Jamil paled, moving a stoic Y/n behind him.
"Azul's Magicam live stream presently has five thousand active viewers," Jade said. "It's trending online under the topic: 'A certain Magicians' School's dirty little secret.' It's your moment in the sun, Vice Housewarden. Naturally, all the dorm students are gathered in the Lounge, watching you"
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps headed towards them. It was the Scarabia students.
"Vice Housewarden Jamil, is everything you just said true?" Kareem said, demanding an answer.
"Have you really been deceiving us this whole time?!" Omar asked, looking devasted.
"Talk about a wolf in sheep's clothing! You're a fraud who is obsessives with Y/m, through and through!" Grim hissed.
"Free [nickname] from your spell!" Yuuna demanded.
"Y-you...You've got it all wrong. I..." Jamil tried to explain himself.
"Don't even try to talk your way out of this one. This mind control magic you used on Azul and Y/n is hard evidence" Jade interrupted. "Jamil...It's been you all along. You've been using your signature spell on Kalim and making him throw Scarabia into chaos!"
"Gh...!" Jamil yelped. "I was trying to avoid escalating matters, but you leave me no choice. Azul," he turned to Azul. "I command you! Subdue and restrain them all. Make sure they stay away from my Jasmine flower!"
"...Yes, Master" Azul then started walking towards the group.
"Azul, no," Jade stepped back a bit. "You don't want to do this. Snap out of it"
"Please stop it, Azul-senpai! [nickname] wouldn't want this at all!" Yuuna pleaded.
"Pleading with him won't help!" Jamil smirked.
"Yes. I am Jamil's loyal minion..." Azul stated. "...or at least, you wish I was," he said, his eyes reverting back to their original color.
"What?!" Jamil gasped.
"Jamil, you said the funniest thing to me earlier. Allow me to return the favor" Azul growled, adjusting his glasses when he looked at the state Y/n was in. "You thought I was an arrogant magician, but you were sorely mistaken/ An embarrassing misjudgment for the vice housewarden of Scarabia- the dorm that embodies the spirit of mindfulness"
"What's going on? I know I made eye contact you, even Jasmine flower saw...I had you under control!" Jamil said.
"Please. I'm a competent magician. I always prepare for all the eventualities before I act" Azul grinned. "Isn't that right, Floyd?"
"I think you let your guard down a little too soon there, Sea Snake" Floyd grinned, his voice deeper than usual.

"MRAH!" Grim yelped as Yuuna flinched in surprise. "What's with your voice?!"
"I signed a contract with Azul and got this rad deep voice for it" Floyd explained. "Whaddaya think? Do I sound all cool and grizzled now?" he asked. "In return, I offered Azul my signature spell, Bind the Heart"
"And if you don't know what that spell does, your face is going to crack when you hear this: It jams an opponent's magic and diverts it elsewhere," Azul tells Jamil.
"You used Bind the Heart to divert the mind control magic!" Yuuna noted.
"Brilliant deduction, Yuuna" Azul beamed. "And after swiping it from Floyd- ah, correction. After taking it as collateral, I used it to evade Jamil's mind control spell. Then I pretended to be his thrall and got Jamil to spill his true intentions as he gloated...but I didn't expect for my angelfish to follow us and get hypnotized herself...." Azul muttered, frowning at how Jamil took advantage of Y/n's sorrow from 500 years ago.
"I gotta hand it to ya, Azul" Grim grinned. "You're real dastardly!"
"I prefer to be called an intellectual" Azul said, obviously annoyed. "At any rate, I quickly deduced that Jamil was the only person Kalim would care about enough to fight back against Jade's signature spell. And that was the underpinning of my whole plan with Y/n"
"Ja...mil?" a voice cracked a bit. It sounded heartbroken. "What it this? What's going on?" it was Kalim.
"K-Kalim..." Jamil stuttered.
"Y-you were controlling me? That can't be true, right?" Kalim asked. "I've been having occasional blackouts lately where hours have passed the next time I come to...But those were just dizzy spells or me nodding off, right?" at this point, Kalim was sounding desperate. Poor baby! "I tend to doze off anywhere as it is. You've always gotten on my case for it. So please, say it isn't so. Tell me I was just nodding off"
Jamil stayed quiet, having a black expression on his face.
"Mind-controlling me, plotting to expel me...You would never do any of that. Jamil, you're...You're the last person that would ever betray me, right?" Kalim asked. "After all, we're best friends, right?!"
"Ha ha..." Jamil began to chuckle. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..." his chuckle turn into fall on laughter.
"H-hey...What's wrong?" Kalim asked, a little scared.
"Oh, I'll tell you, Kalim. I'll tell you EXACTLY what's wrong," Jamil shouted as Yuuna moved forward to protect Kalim.
"Huh?" Kalim looked confused.
"You've been the same for as long as I remember. Oblivious, gullible, foolish..." Jamil started off. "AND I HATED IT!" he snapped.
Kalim and Yuuna flinched in surprise as Y/n, still under the control of Jamil, placed her hand in his, causing him to widen his eyes in shock. Avaritia smirked.
"You trot along merrily in ignorant bliss, utterly blind to my suffering!" Jamil shouted, turning his attention back to Kalim, a little happy how Y/n was trying to comfort him without himself commanding her to do so. "Every time I see you smile, it makes my skin crawl! I'm sick of it! There's no point in maintaining my facade now. You have no idea how many days I've spent wishing that you would just go away. But that ends today! Myself, my family...I don't care about ANY of it anymore!"

"W-wait! Jamil!" Kalim shouted.
"The one you behold is your master..." Jamil began to chant. "When I ask you a question, you will answer. When I give you a command, you will assent! Snake Charmer!" Jamil shouted, sending a wave of magic toward the students.
"Agh...!" Yuuna watched in horror as the Scarabia students began clutching their heads as they groan in pain.
"Urgh..." Kareem groaned. "My head..."
"Wha- did he just mind-control the whole dorm at once?!" Azul gasped.
"All of you, eject Kalim and the Octanivelle guests from the premises!" Jamil commanded.
"Yes, Master"
"Jamil?!" gasped Kalim, stepping back as he made sure Yuuna was behind.
Jamil then created any other wave of magic towards the Octavinelle trio, Kalim, Yuuna, and Grim. But Azul was able to keep them safe with Bind the heart and Yuuna created a wall of life to block Jamil's magic from hitting them.
"Incredible..." Azul widens his eyes. "He's controlling all these targets at the same time AND making them do separate things!" he gritted his teeth. "Mediocre, nothing. He's easily one of the top magicians in the entire school, to say nothing of Scarabia!"
"I keep squeezin' but they keep gettin' back up" Floyd groaned. "Are they zombies or what?!" he threw a student back into others
"Jamil, please, just stop!" Kalim pleaded. "You can have what you want! You can be housewarden! I'll go home to my family!" he cried
"Kalim..." Yuuna placed a hand on his back to comfort him
"What? You thought that would work?" Jamil tilted his head in confusion. "My spell won't be broken so easily...Kalim. Not as long as you exist in this world, Kalim!"
'Y/n...Y/n...please snap out of it!" Kussanli pleaded, tears rolling down her face. She felt bad for being unable to stop his signature spell from hypostasizing Y/n. But she didn't expect it at all, especially when Y/n was having a strong emotion of sorrow when he told her that Jamil can free her from her sorrow from 500 years ago.
"Jamil, you're courting danger!" Jade warned. "If you keep using your signature spell like this, you'll exceed your blot tolerance level and-"
"Shut up!" Jamil shouted. "Don't you order me around! I'm through following others' orders! I'm doing...TO BE FREE AND FOREVER BE WITH Y/N!"
Avaritia laughed, similar to Jafar in the live-action when Genie granted his last wish. His shadow grew into a dark red as he got larger too, completely consuming Jamil.
"Jamil-senpai!" Yuuna cried out.
Jamil visioned a blanket, but when he regained his vision back, it was all black.
Avaritia came into Jamil's view as his long black hair flowed a bit from the non-existence breeze in the void. His red eyes held malice in them as he smirked.
Avaritia sang as Y/n came into view, still having Jamil's spell effect her.
"You made yourself at home, in the cobwebs and the lies.
Your learning all my tricks, you can hurt him from inside"
Y/n red eyes glowed.
"I made myself a promise, You would never see my cry."
Y/n and Avaritia smirked.
"He'll never know what hit him"
"You'll gonna make him suffer
This hell he put you in
Your underneath his skin.."
Avaritia smiled wickedly as Y/n faded away
"He'll never know what hit him" Y/n sang the final note as she hugged Jamil from behind, her wings huggined him as well. More ink dipped as Jamil fell into the hands of the abyss, willingly. Overblot...
"What in the world?" Kalim gasp as the darkness cleared, raising up into a blot incarnation of Jafar as a red genie. "J-Jamil just transformed?!" his eyes went wide.
"The every air around is changing" Jade noted. "It's just like what happened with Azul..."
As he said that, the darkness carried Y/n in the air, abyssal energy covering her body.
"He's overblotted and he has my Angelfish under his control...!" Azul shouted, gritting his teeth. "And right on winter break with no prospects of backup from any corner. This is quite the conundrum"
"Did he turn into another one of those dark berserker?!" Grim asked.
"The negative blot energy is swelling up. Along with abyss energy...Everyone, steel yourselves!"
The all tried to fight Jamil, but a large gust of icy wind, pushing the others back.
"Aha ha ha!" Jamil laughed, with Avaritia's voice mixed inside.
"Angelfish! P-please come back to your sense!" Azul pleaded.
"Please come back, [nickname]!" Yuuna cried out. She stood her grown as she prepared to protect her friends.
"I must follow Master's orders..." Y/n said in a monotone, as the abyss aura moved her in from of Jamil, and clearing away.
Everyone's eyes widen of Y/n's new outfit. It was more, Arabian.
Y/n looked very beautiful. Especially when she was going to wear that for what he has planned for her. (It's not what you think you disgusting people)
Jamil smiled as his snake hair pulled Y/n closer, wrapping around her waist.
"Angelfish!"
"[nickname]!"
"My angelfish!"
"Myah! The snakes are moving!"
"I have no need for an incompetent king or a con artist" Jamil declared, glaring at the group. "Your personality flaws give me ADEQUETE cause...To send you packing on a one-way trip to the ends of the earth!"
Magic began to swirl in the air. "WHOOPEEEEE!"
"AAAAAAAHhh!" the boys and one girl, screamed as they were launched into the air, way out of Scarabia, and towards the ends of the dessert.
"SO LONG!" Jamil laughed. "MWA HA HA HA! Ex-Housewarden Kalim! HYAAAH HA HA HA HA!"
Jamil then had his snakes move Y/n to face him, as he smiled. "Ah, my beautiful Jasmine Flower...my beloved Queen... you look so delicate in your dress. A rule 'diamond in the rough'" he said, kissing Y/n's forehead. "I knew the dress would look on you"
"Yes, Master" Y/n replied.
"You're so beautiful...like a real flower, so delicate and fragile" Jamil caress her cheek before turning to the Scarabia students. "Clean this mess now!" he ordered. "And prepare the Lounge. We're going to celebrate!"
"Yes, Master!"

Arduous New World
Alright, so I'm using this as a whetstone to practice my fiction writing. I have dyslexia, so bear with me if I have any mistakes, if you point them out I'll try and correct them. The story is LitRPG, I'll try and avoid some of the tropes, see FAQ. What happens is that the world turns out to be a simulation coming to an end, and beginning on its new simulation, in this process the system of the universe declares that the new simulation will be rpg-based. The protagonist however is thrust into an empty space before the simulation comes to an end, he escapes and finds that the world as he knew it is gone.Chapters will come sporadically as I'm quite busy IRL. FAQ1: There will be no Harem. 2: If any sexual content, it will be be below the screen, example sentence [they made love - or - they had sex]3: I'll try to keep character motivations steady instead of having characters who says and does one thing in one chapter, only to change their mind in the next one. 3: Villains or "bad guys" won't be charicatures. Of course, as in real life, you can meet these people, but as far as big bads or antagonists goes, they will have some modicum of intelligence. 4: The MC does not have an encyclopedia of random knowledge. 5: OP'ness won't happen overnight, and it is something that I'm wary of in terms of adding it, of course eventually the MC will grow more powerful, but there won't be any cheats, except hard work; and the luck factor will be more or less similar to the rest of the population. 6: He won't be opposing the universe, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant7: he won't become friends with god/the ghost in the shell etc, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant, and an ancient simulation ai has no interest anyway, why would it ? Okay that's that for now.
