Should I Become a Villain?

Radmilo had noted down all the Instruments mentioned by Clem and intended to meet one of them today. The serpent-bodied female monster in the Skeleton Lake Dungeon caught his attention.

The hunters did not want to enter the dungeon because the monster could tempt humans. Anyone who entered the dungeon would fall for Zivile, the female monster with the body of a snake.

They would fall in love with her and forget they had to fight the monster. Even though Zivile was not good at fighting, she could defeat the hunters the moment they entered her dungeon because of her seduction magic.

However, her magic would not affect the hunters stronger than her. Radmilo had faced monsters with such magic in his previous life. They often tempt ordinary humans to enter their dungeon.

Radmilo was interested in Zivile because he could use the monster to disrupt the IRO emergency meeting. With her seduction magic, he could make some of the people present at the meeting lose their minds.

First of all, he had to escape from Dianella, who was following him. He pretended to come out of the apartment to buy something at the supermarket. The girl was not going to let him live in peace for quite some time.

Dianella used her invisibility power and followed Radmilo from behind. She would never have imagined that the man had noticed her existence in the first place.

'He just acts like a normal person. Was he really the cause of the gate explosion? I think Keith was drunk when he talked about it.'

Dianella thought to herself as she realized Radmilo had not done anything suspicious. The man acted like other people. There was nothing special about him.

Meanwhile, Radmilo chose a drink in the display refrigerator and then snapped his fingers. He was sure Dianella would not see that because his hand was covered in soda cans. As soon as time stopped, he immediately came out of the supermarket.

"I'll be back as soon as possible so she doesn't get suspicious," Radmilo muttered as he looked at his watch. After that, he used the <Speed ??Up> skill to speed up his running time.

He reached the dungeon in just a few minutes. The dungeon he was looking for was in the forest.

Radmilo knew the dungeon's location from Clem. He also came to know that monsters could move their dungeons to where they wanted. However, they could only do that once, and Clem had used his chance to meet Radmilo.

That important information dispelled Radmilo's curiosity. The IRO was once confused because some dungeons around the world moved to other places. It turned out that the Prime Movers gave the Instruments such a chance.

If the dungeon moved to a crowded place, then the Instruments could kill a lot of humans. They moved their dungeons to schools, tourist attractions, office buildings, and other places with large populations of humans.

[You have entered the Skeleton Lake Dungeon!

Mid-Level Dungeon

Danger Rank: B]

The notification appeared when Radmilo entered a dungeon with a small lake. He had only taken a few steps when his foot landed on something that made him uncomfortable.

Radmilo cursed after discovering he had stepped on a bone fragment. When he looked around, he noticed that the dungeon was littered with human skulls.

"Looks like the monster here is also working as a grave guard."

The skulls in the dungeon would make anyone think they have entered a graveyard. However, Radmilo knew the skulls were humans who had been affected by Zivile's magic.

They could not be woken up by anything and would be trapped in the dungeon with Zivile forever. There were still monsters with such magical abilities. Radmilo encountered them after joining the IRO.

This was the first time he had faced a monster with seduction magic in Australia. He had never met a monster called Zivile before.

"Who's the boss here? Come over here! I want to talk to you."

There was no answer to Radmilo's shout. The dungeon was completely deserted, like a graveyard. He had expected the dungeon to not have many monsters because the gates surrounding it were small.

Radmilo walked through the dungeon to find Zivile's whereabouts. After walking quite a distance, he found a cave near the lake. His heart pounded harder as his feet stepped closer to the cave.

He recognized it as the result of Zivile's magic right away. Even though he would not be affected by it, his heart was still beating fast. ing to my place. You seem to be a strong human. You're not even affected by my magic."

"Exactly. I'm very strong and don't have any weird fetishes about snake women. Thus, I will not be affected by your magic," Radmilo replied as he took out a sword from his inventory. He was ready to use his weapon at any moment if Zivile asked him to fight.

"Are you going to kill me?"

"It all depends on the situation. To be honest, I came here with good intentions." f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

Zivile had intended to use her seduction magic more powerfully than before. Radmilo's words, however, prevented her from doing so. She furrowed her brows since no human had ever been kind to her.

Strong humans who were resistant to her magic were always talking about cores. Zivile immediately understood they could obtain the core after defeating her. She used humans under her influence to explain what was happening in the human world.

They explained the hunters used her core to make an item that was sold at a high price. If someone used the item, then they could make other people like them.

The item was commonly used by anyone who wanted to increase their popularity, such as celebrities, for example. The hunters wanted Zivile's rare core to sell it for a high price. They even did illegal things by bribing dungeon guards, because the government forbade hunters from entering Zivile's dungeon.

Unfortunately, many of them failed and ended up trapped in the dungeon forever. Zivile let them be affected by her magic. It was fun to see them because those people loved her so much that they did not care about anything else.

They would not eat even if they were hungry. All they did was stare at Zivile with admiration and wait for death to come to them.

"You don't seem interested in my core. What's your purpose in coming here?" Zivile asked carefully. The mysterious man looked confident about his power.

"Clem said he would contact you to explain my arrival. Didn't you read his message?"

Zivile frowned. The Prime Mover created a system that allowed the Instruments to communicate with each other. However, she rarely used the communication system because many Instruments contacted her.

Before being sent to earth, Zivile was famous for having influenced the feelings of many Instruments. It turned out they were still under her influence and always contacted her through the system.

Radmilo's words made Zivile read the message sent by Clem. The confused frown on her forehead grew even more after learning that Clem made a contract with Radmilo. Clem also explained the man could help her if she built a relationship with him.

"Do you want to make a contract with me?" Radmilo asked when he realized Zivile had finished reading the message from Clem.

However, the serpent monster did not show any interest. Instead, she replied, "Clem is a stupid brat since he put his trust in you. However, I will not sign a contract with an ordinary human."

"Do I have to kill you to show my skills?"

"Listen, you need to know that you're not the only one who can kill me. I have died several times because of humans. If you want to show your power in that way, then I will not be impressed."

Radmilo had already predicted that convincing the monsters would be difficult. That was what made him want to force them to sign a contract. However, he could not do that because he was reminded of Clem's words.

After thinking for a while, Radmilo finally said, "I will bring five strong monster cores in one day. You're free to make another request if you want. What do you think?"
