Should I Become a Villain?-Chapter 2 Spool Back
The stab became the ultimate strike as death seemed to move towards Radmilo. However, he was not afraid because he had expected that the world government would betray him.
Radmilo was not the main character in the story who was kind-hearted and naive. The only reason he stayed as a hunter and pretended to be a good person was that he wanted to have a luxurious life. He did not want to face a complicated life if he became a criminal.
Unfortunately, this luxurious and quiet life had been destroyed. Radmilo had no good option but to devise a plan to destroy the world government. When everyone in the room gave him a mocking expression, he instead raised his middle finger at them.
Each awakener had a sign or trigger to activate their skills. And raising his middle finger was a signal for Radmilo to activate his fourth skill, a skill that allowed him to repeat time.
"See you later, asshole!" Radmilo exclaimed with a big smile when the notification window popped up.
[Congratulations! Skill <Spool Back> has been used]
[The system will detect the user's wishes automatically]
[You will return to seven years ago in three seconds]
[One...]
[Two...]
[Three...]
[<Spool Back> skill successfully used!]
When he saw the notification, Radmilo blinked quickly, and the hunter from the Phantom guild instantly faded away. He who was originally lying weakly on the floor now standing in the middle of the road.
"I wondered if I went back in time," Radmilo spoke hastily while looking around, to make sure the notification was not fabricating.
Now he was standing in the crowd of people crossing the street. Everything seemed so peaceful, and Radmilo speculated he had truly returned to the past.
Actually, Radmilo got the skill of <Spool Back> a long time ago before the world government betrayed him. He purposely did not tell anyone because he understood that the government could finish him one day.
So far, Radmilo had not used this skill because the government could have known about it. He only used the skill when the world government completely betrayed him.
"Wow, this... I can't believe this," said Radmilo, still in happiness.
His loud voice disturbed everyone on the street. They concurrently glared at Radmilo for making noise.
"What's wrong with that guy? He's talking to himself like he's lost his mind," whispered one of them with a critical glance.
Radmilo, who was still in joy, ignored the surrounding response. He was too happy after knowing that he had returned to the past.
"Let's forget about my extraordinary skills and talk about the current situation," muttered Radmilo in a serious tone.
The notification that popped up said if Radmilo had returned to seven years ago. Then this meant the world was still struggling with the incident called 'Crack of Doom'. plained, rubbing his head with an irritated expression.
"Have you lost your mind? I would have killed you if only I had time. Stop talking nonsense and bring our things!"
After that, some people on the sidewalk threw bags at Radmilo, then laughed mockingly and walked away.
"Wait. I went back in time, but I don't know when exactly," mumbled Radmilo, looking at the bags on the sidewalk in confusion.
It was lucky enough because it only took him a moment to remember everything. All these bags sent memory fragments to his brain. Now he realized he was not an awakener or hunter yet.
Seven years ago, Radmilo was an immigrant in Australia who had a hard time finding job. That was why he offered himself as a hunter's assistant and carried their belongings during the raid.
"Now I understand why I wanted to return to this time. In my previous life, those hunters left me alone in the dungeon and made me suffer."
Radmilo still mourned his previous life with various emotions. He remembered that in the past; the hunters left him alone in the dungeon. If he was not determined to survive, then he would not have overcome the goblin attack.
The man also remembered that he awakened while experiencing danger in the dungeon. Even so, Radmilo still held a grudge against the hunter, who left him alone.
People came to be evil just because Radmilo was an immigrant. In fact, if he could choose, he also did not want to leave his country and move to another place.
"Those bastards... I have to avenge them!"
In his previous life, Radmilo could not avenge them for maintaining his image as a hero. He continued to be kind to the world government, and the public appreciated him. Therefore, he was forced to not beat up the hunters who were rude to him. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
However, Radmilo had different thoughts after returning to the past. He had enjoyed a calm and comfortable life as the strongest hunter in his previous life. Now he was considering whether he would remain a hero or an anti-hero.
If he became a hero again, then Radmilo must maintain his image by not acting arbitrarily. That differed from the anti-hero who was more free in action.
While he was considering these two things, Radmilo suddenly remembered something. Isn't there always a villain in every story? Should he try an evil role in his life this time?
