Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

"Don't you like me?" she asked, her breath warm against his skin. "Or are you worried about betraying Celine's trust?"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. You can do anything you want with me." Leaning in closer, her voice dropped to a whisper.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I'm not really that kind of guy,"

"You're just saying that, but your body is reacting to me," she teased, her fingers brushing against his groan "Look how much it had grown."

Reign's eyes widened in shock as he glanced down. To his surprise, he noticed that he was indeed fully erect.

The funny part was that he couldn't tell if this reaction was from genuine arousal or his deep-seated hunger, which really felt the same.

But this time was different. Unlike before, he now had a fully functioning body, complete with all its sensations and more.

Even someone like him couldn't help but be curious about how it all felt. The curiosity stirred within him, making it harder to ignore the biological response he was having.

"Do you promise not to tell her?"

"Yes! I promise, it will just be between the two of us," she reassured him, her face lighting up with excitement.

"Okay, I agree," Reign said, his voice trailing off as he looked her straight in the eyes.

"That's what you wanted me to say, right?" A knowing smile curved on his lips.

Before she could react, he grabbed her by the neck and pinned her against the wall.

"S—Sunny, what are you doing!" she gasped, struggling to breathe.

"You're still sticking with this act?" Reign's voice was cold. "I have to give you credit for consistency."

Her face turned cold after he called her out.

"Since when did you know?" she asked, her tone suddenly calm and collected, as if his grip on her neck didn't even matter.

"Since the beginning,"

"Liar. If you knew, then why didn't you stop me?"

"Why should I?" he chuckled, tightening his grip. But his hand felt like it was gripping metal, not flesh.

"Wrong choice. Now you're going to die because you let me take over this body," she responded with an arrogant grin.

Reign raised an eyebrow, puzzled. He didn't know where her sudden confidence was coming from, but she sounded serious.

There was no sign of fear in her eyes, which only made him more curious.

"Try me," he warned, his eyes glowing golden. He was ready to teach her a harsh lesson about who was truly in control.

"You think you're untouchable just because you killed that weak little hunter back in Rosewood?" Aika's voice was laced with a teasing, mocking tone. "Let me show you that some mountains in this world are simply not meant to be climbed,"

"Jigoku!"

Her voice rang out with authority, and in an instant, her shadow exploded outward. The entire scene shifted as the darkness expanded and enveloped everything.

In the blink of an eye, Reign found himself in an entirely different world. The sky above was a deep, unsettling red, and the moon hung ominously in the sky.

Beneath him stretched an endless land of rice fields, their golden stalks swaying gently in a breeze.

The transformation was abrupt and disorienting, but he remained calm, his posture relaxed despite the sudden change.

'Where did she go?' he wondered, noticing his empty hand.

It wasn't that she used any force to break free; she simply vanished into thin air.

And this was just the beginning of his troubles.

'This isn't a domain,' he muttered to himself.

He realized immediately that this was a completely thing altogether.

When using a domain, the user stays in the same general area, though it might feel much larger and expand slightly in comparison to its real size.

Plus, those who can use domains could still sense the outside world. However, in this case, as he focused, he realized they were no longer on the train but in an endless void.

At the same time, he couldn't activate his own domain for some reason.

"Don't bother. You can't escape " Aika sneered, her voice echoed but she was nowhere to be seen.

"What is this place?" he asked, his tone more curious than worried.

"This place is Jijoko, a realm for the damned souls. Here, I am the ruler of everything you see."

Reign tilted his head slightly, considering her words. "Cut the crap. You really think I'm going to believe that?"

"I don't need you to believe me. I know you're scared. No need to act tough—I can smell your fear from here."

Her voice echoed again from all directions, making it impossible for him to pinpoint her exact location.

Reign had to admit, the situation was nothing like he'd expected. He thought Aika was just like Aiku, but he'd seriously underestimated her.

The fact that she could trap him in this realm meant she was powerful enough to challenge even a Peak demon lord.

But he wasn't too worried. He had already tried changing bodies for a split second, and it worked. This meant he wasn't in any real danger.

As long as he had a spare, he didn't need to fear dying at all.

"So, what do you plan to do now?" Reign asked calmly.

He wasn't rushing to fight yet; instead, he wanted to understand her better. He needed to know what made her so different from Aiku.

Her confidence soared as she watched him remain still, not making a move.

"You're still acting like you can get out of here? Are you really that confident?" she asked, her tone dripping with disdain.

Reign let out a small chuckle "Don't be too tense.. I'm just curious about what makes you different from Aiku."

CRACK!

The entire space trembled at the mention of the name.

"Where did you heard that name?" she demanded.

Reign's eyes sparkled with interest as he heard her reaction. He seized the opportunity, determined not to let it slip by.

"Do you want to know more? "

A smirk played at the corners of his lips.
