Should I Become a Villain?

At the evacuation site, Radmilo gathered with other people. They could not sleep because they were not used to the atmosphere at the evacuation site. Therefore, they chose to spend time chatting.

"I want to ask you something, Radmilo. But I think I'm not close to you and have no right to be curious about your problem."

Radmilo, who was rubbing his hands because of the cold, stopped immediately. Those words were given by Joshua, a special blacksmith in Broken Hill. All the hunters who came to the dungeons in this city often bought equipment from him.

In this year, a special blacksmith was extremely rare. Special blacksmiths were people who made special equipment for hunters. To make the equipment, they had to go through a lot of research.

The world had changed like an RPG game since the gate exploded. Even the raid system and team roles were similar to the game. However, what was different was that humans were not given tutorials.

At first, many people died because they did not know how to defeat monsters. Also, they had to find out for themselves what the use of the items they got after defeating the monsters was. Sometimes certain item drops were rare to get, so the blacksmiths lacked the materials to make equipment.

Therefore, everyone scrambled when the perfect equipment was finished. Radmilo remembered that he often visited Joshua because Gordan ordered him to buy perfected equipment.

"We've met so many times, Joshua. You don't have to hesitate to ask about me," Radmilo finally spoke after remembering the information about Joshua.

"I'm just curious about you being escorted by Carl," Joshua said, making everyone there curious too. "Isn't Carl a tank from Team B in the Tasmanian Devil guild?"

People who had never heard of such information immediately stared at Radmilo. They invited the man to gather out of pity. However, they did not expect to hear something interesting.

Radmilo showed an awkward smile, as if he was uncomfortable with this topic of conversation. "Actually, Carl escorted me because I decided to become a dungeon cleaner for his team." 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

"Really?!"

Everyone asked in unison. They must have been surprised, since a dungeon cleaner was a life-threatening job. When an ordinary person became a dungeon cleaner, it did not differ from committing suicide.

Moreover, some of them knew Radmilo had become the slave of Gordan and his friends. They were skeptical, secretly thinking the man would die on his first day working as a dungeon cleaner.

"Are you having a hard time? I am anxious about your decision," told Joshua, who had heard the news about the death of a dungeon cleaner yesterday.

Radmilo lowered his head and replied, "Gordan and his friends don't need me anymore. They violently kicked me out of the dungeon."

"Does that mean you're not in the raid with them today? I remember you came to my shop because Gordan ask you to buy some equipment," Joshua said more curiously.

"Yeah, I didn't join the raid. They told me to take their stuff to the dungeon. After I got there, they kicked me out and didn't pay me. And now my house is being destroyed by the basilisk attack. I don't know where else to earn money."

Not everyone hated immigrants. Joshua and the people here were one of them. They sympathized with Radmilo, who often got bullied by Gordan or other people. However, they did not dare to help because they did not have any power. e to me. I'll give you a discount, haha!"

After that, the others also cheered on Radmilo. They looked so sincere, not realizing that they were being taken advantage of. Radmilo had heard the story about Keith Smith from Carl while on his way to the evacuation site.

Jim, the leader of Team B, did not like Keith because he knew that the leader of Team A often misused his powers. Keith used his powers to force others to obey his orders. Even Carl said that Keith once controlled someone's mind to get information.

However, many people did not believe it because Keith appeared as a promising public figure. His fans always denied it whenever there were nasty rumors about Keith. Nonetheless, Radmilo believed Carl's words.

That was the reason he was talking about Gordan. He knew that his actions in the dungeon had been discovered by someone during the evacuation process. If it was revealed, then Keith must look for information about anyone related to Gordan, since he was involved in the evacuation.

Radmilo had to gather at least two reputable people to support him. If Keith came to interrogate him, then he could have taken advantage of the support from Joshua and the people who had sympathized with him.

"Thank you all. I'm thrilled because there are still people who treat me well. I have no one after my parents died," said Radmilo, giving a big smile.

Then he glanced at the wound on Joshua's body. "Are you all right? I remember you walking on the same sidewalk as me when the basilisk attacked. I was crushed by a car, and I don't know what happened to you."

Joshua immediately glanced at the wound that appeared on his hand because he was hit by a car. "I don't know if you were on that sidewalk, either. I don't really remember because it happened so fast, but I'm sure I passed out after I was hit."

"I'm sorry to hear that. At that time, I was walking behind you. If I'm not mistaken, you were walking with a girl. I don't know who she is, but I hope she's okay."

Radmilo's words made a girl there glance at Joshua and then blushed. "I-I'm the girl you're talking about. I was fine because Joshua protected me. Thank you for worrying about me," she said.

"Oh, are you two lovers?" asked Radmilo, frowning.

"Not yet," Joshua answered immediately. "I'll make Hannah my girlfriend once the situation is safe."

Those words ended the conversation about Radmilo. People started to change the topic by teasing Hannah and Joshua. However, Radmilo did not need to be offended because he had got his wants.

? When the basilisks attacked Broken Hill, he purposely went to the city and looked for people who knew him. Then his choice fell on Joshua, who was walking with Hannah. Thus, he got two people who could confirm the alibi that he was not in the dungeon when Gordan and his friends were killed.

Now Radmilo just needed to relax and be ready to await Keith's arrival. However, he did not expect that the person he was waiting for would come tonight. Keith arrived just as Radmilo was about to go to sleep.

People who happened not to have slept were immediately interested in finding out why the son of the Smith family had come here in the middle of the night.
