Villain of my own novel-Chapter 159 158. Who He Is.
?'Gaze of the Divine.' She muttered in her head, and her sclera turned black, her obsidian black iris flashed dark purple, and her pupils turned to vertical pure white slits.
WHOOSH
Suddenly, she felt a strong pull as soon as she activated that skill, and she found herself staring at the 'Earth' as it slowly rotated in its orbit; it was visible from the Sun's perspective, with many magical circles surrounding it. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶
'Those are protective magic circles.' She realized by looking at the signs, symbols, circuits and the patterns on the magic circles.
All of the magic circles were supported and held in place by a massive magical circle. It was a magical circle made of white, almost transparent mana in the shape of gears, the magic circle contained dozens of gears as each gear spun in their own respective directions in sync and supported the other to spin at its own respective speed and path.
"WHOA!!" Isha exclaimed in awe as she stared at the Earth from the Sun's point of view.
"This.....is mesmerizing..." She mumbled at the majestic view of Earth.
That was the first time she had seen a planet from the outside, and the sight was so mesmerizing that she forgot about everything for a brief moment, but then....
DING
<The 'curse' on the user 'Eshwar' has been activated.>
"Huh? What curse?" Isha mumbled, but was cut short by the sudden change in view.
"Eshwar?" Isha mumbled as she furrowed her brows at the white haired young man who was striding on a thick blanket of snow.
"Eshwar!" She then zoomed towards him to apologize as what she said this morning flashed in her mind, again.
The white haired young man continued to stride as if he couldn't hear Isha.
'Is he sulking? How cute.' Isha thought and sneaked behind him to scare him as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Huh?" Her hand instantly passed through his body which scared her.
"What!!?" Isha jerked back and stared at him in disbelief.
She then noticed that the there was strange feeling in her heart which was throbbing pain yet was at peace.
DING
<'Curse' effects are being redirected due to the traits <Godly Physic> has to offer.>
As soon as the white notification window popped up, the strange feeling in her heart subdued. She then activated the 'Gaze of the Divine' on Eshwar again.

"These aren't his current stats...." Isha mumbled as she stared at the white status window in front of her.
"And this is what I expected when I used this skill 'Gaze of the Divine' and not to stare at the entire Earth...." Isha grumbled.
"Wait! Eshwar is Cursed? Why? By whom? Who dares?" Isha suddenly realised and snapped when she remembered that notification.
'No, wait! Why is the curse on Eshwar acting on me?' Isha frowned in confusion.
"And why am I here? Where is this? Why can't I touch him?" Isha started to get a headache, not literally though because even though it was only at level 1, she still had a <Godly Physic>.
"Hmm?" Eshwar's voice confused hum sounded and Isha glanced back at him.
"Hero! This is your last challenge! Defeat the 'Dragon' in the dragon's lair and save the last of the humanity!" Eshwar mumbled in a low tone.
"..... What is he doing?" Isha tilted her head, perplexed.
"Hm?" Suddenly, something clicked in Isha's mind, and Eshwar's memories flooded in until they caught up with the Eshwar in front of her.
A 16-year-old Eshwar flashed through her mind; he was a chubby kid with dark brown hair and black eyes, just a normal kid out there on the magic-less 'Earth,' and a bit lazy.
He was the 'Author' of the 'story' that formed in his mind without a title. The main character of the story was a female named 'Katline Glover,' and it was an action, adventure, and romance genre series. Eshwar's story didn't have any content in the middle, he only had the beginning and the end, it was just a story in his mind and it stayed that way as he continued to ignore that story and read other novels of the same genre to get motivation, and then....
'Regression' stories piqued his interest as he began to read more and more novels about regression, his nameless story, which was dying in his head, suddenly got a spark as he thought of adding a male lead to the story and 'that male lead will know the future,' and that's it, the nameless story in his mind soon came to a halt, but it created a new story of its own as it pushed aside the nameless story.
He ignored the nameless story and began to form many new stories in his mind, and one day he decided to try writing a story without any expectations, and he began to write a chapter, paused before completing a single chapter, and thought of completing his nameless story. His story idea with a female main character and his story idea with a male main character who knows the future were combined to form the story 'The survival story of the extra.'
The story had successfully ended by the time Eshwar had turned 20 years old who had begun to write the second part of the story, he was happy with his family, and then it happened....
Everything was turned upside down in a single day, 'animals' became 'monsters,' 'friends' became 'enemies,' and the only people he could trust were his mother, father, and adopted younger sister. The word 'humans' had lost its meaning because the world had already devolved into survival of the fittest, and they had to fight like beasts for a single meal.
A month later.
Eshwar began to move more, he got out, fought to death with the monsters or humans, and bought food for the three members of his family who stayed in a tent; he knew that if they saw him bleed as if he were on the verge of death, they would freak out, so he would toss the food into the tent and say, 'mom, I ate the food on the way and saw some more, so I'll go fetch it,' and would dash out of there before they could even reply.
This process lasted ten days; he had now transformed into a skinny man with an oppressive aura that oozed out without his awareness, and on the eleventh day, when he went to fetch food for his family....
"Huff....huff...huff..." He panted heavily, dragged himself and a sack full of fruits and meat, and was bleeding profusely from his chest after the wolf-type monster he had just battled managed to claw him in the chest.
"Huff....gulp..." He took a look at the food and gulped because he needed food to heal or he wouldn't wake up the next day, which would mean he wouldn't be able to care for his family.
"Aaaa...." He yelled in a low voice and tossed the sack towards a tree and stared at it for a brief moment, slowly approached it, crouched down and as he was about to grab a fruit, he stopped.... because his little sister's face flashed in his mind, and even though she didn't know much about what was going on, she was mature enough to offer him food even though her stomach was grumbling.
"Argh! Arghhhh!!" He yelled, punched his grumbling stomach, writhed on the ground and glared back.
CRUNCH f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦
WHOOSH
He lunged forward, leaving the food behind, and dashed with every ounce of strength he could muster with his bleeding and weakened body, and when he got close to the dead monster's body....
CHOMP
SPLURT
He bit the its neck.
