Villain of my own novel

Chapter 142 141. Despair.

?BAM

CRA-CRACK (4x)

BOOM

CRACKLE (10x)

"Hmm?" Isha stared back at the sky again where a giant crack had appeared.

The crack that appeared in the sky was completely black with nothing inside of it, but the amount of mana oozing out of it was incomparably denser and purer to the mana Isha could feel in her everyday life in this world, and from that crack descended....

Eshwar.

DING

[NEW!]

[Mana density of the 'Earth' has increased twofold!]

[Mana beings 'level' increased by 1.]

[System influence increased by 5.]

[Current System influence: 72.]

Isha ignored the system notifications and stared at Eshwar with a beautiful smile on her face; she felt a sudden surge of power in her body that perfectly customised itself in her body and slightly enhanced her overall strength; she saw Eshwar descend like a literal God, which brought back some unpleasant memories that she suppressed and focused on him.

Eshwar was surrounded by a thin but dense layer of dark purple hue, but that wasn't what drew Isha's attention.... She couldn't see his emotions whatsoever, then their eyes met, and only then a green pulse rippled on the dark purple hue that covered him, only then did she understand that he had gotten stronger and seemed like he turned into somebody else.

He was covered in a dark purple hue that represented both his mana and his emotional state; he didn't appear to be feeling anything at all, but...

Those green ripples definitely indicated that he was happy, which means that he could feel emotions, but he didn't seem to be able to do so at the same time, as if his emotions, which had previously appeared to be a large canvas, had now become too small, as if he was cutting them off.

"Hm?" Isha noticed Eshwar mumbled something and suddenly the green ripples turned crimson red which indicated anger, in an instant; she followed his line of sight and saw Louie, which perplexed her, and a 'maybe' crossed her mind as her gaze moved towards Quinn's dead body which was being carried by Louie on his back.

'Why?' Isha slightly frowned and suddenly....

SHWOOSH

"Uck!?" Groans filled the ground and Isha abruptly snapped her head and looked around; everyone was kneeling while groaning in pain as the fear they felt intensified, and Isha was the only one who stood straight while even Core and the others were kneeling with their heads down, and she realized that she was only standing straight because of her divinity and because she had already 'remembered' how many times she had faced fear stronger than this when she felt the ingraining fear from earlier.

"Hahaha, ...." A cold laughter reverberated throughout the sector five as the fear they felt intensified, Isha looked back at Eshwar and frowned.

'Who?' Isha's frown deepened when she saw flashes of a mannequin.

A mannequin body flashed on Eshwar and disappeared entirely before Isha could get a better look at it; it was then that Isha properly realized that something had happened to him that had forced him to change, and that change was something 'Eshwar' had yet to adapt to; and from then everything happened in a flash, Eshwar cleared the rainy clouds and glanced back at Isha, who was still staring at him, and vanished.

His abrupt disappearance made Isha uneasy; it was something she had only felt once before, and it had nothing to do with Eshwar; it was something she felt when she had to leave behind someone precious to her in her previous life...her maid, whom Isha was forced to leave behind because she had run from everything that held her back, and when she was running, an unknown emotion crept up from the bottom of her heart, which hurt more than anything else, and now that feeling returned to her, again.

SHWISH

Eshwar suddenly appeared in front of Isha and stared at her, green colour pulsated on the thin layer of dark purple 'colour' that covered him. Even though 'that' feeling lingered in the back of her mind, her lips curled up into a bright smile, forcing Eshwar's to do the same, though not as brightly as they were before, a small smile appeared on his face, as if that was the best effort he could muster.

'Eshwar is still there, but he has yet to adapt to it.... I don't know what happened to him, but he is trying to get back, or so my feelings are screaming, and I can't help but trust them. If he doesn't, I just have to turn him back into the Eshwar he was by myself!' Isha was determined, and she clenched her fists inwardly.

"Excuse me, Miss Cyclops." Eshwar said in a low voice, instantly filling Isha's heart with happiness as it began to beat faster, something was still stinging in the corner of her heart while she felt happy.

"Eh?" Isha suddenly exclaimed in surprise when Eshwar abruptly held her waist and pulled her close for a hug.

Isha was not surprised by the sudden hug... She was slightly surprised, but she was also embarrassed because he wasn't wearing anything to cover his upper body, and this was the first time she had seen his body that wasn't covered in translucent light blue ice or white snow.

"...." She hugged him back and closed her eyes while blushing violently.

SWISH

"Open your eyes, Miss Cyclops." Eshwar's soft breath trickled into Isha's right ear as he whispered in her ear in a sweet voice, while his warmth seemed to envelope her body.

"Eeik!!" Isha let out a strange meek scream and glanced at Eshwar's handsome face while the moon light shone brightly on his face and she simply continued to stare at him, dazed.

"...." Eshwar too simply stared back at her with a small smile on his face, dark orange and light orange colours pulsated which woke Isha back out of her daze, she furrowed her brows for a split second and turned to her right where she was a giant moon shone beautifully, only then did she notice they were high up in the sky slightly closer to the moon.

'Dark orange- Worried and light orange- concerned, but....' Isha thought.

"Why?" she asked while staring at the moon.

"....." Eshwar didn't answer.

SWISH

And the beautiful scenery in front of her abruptly changed, and the answer to her question appeared in front of her in a very unexpected and heart wrenching way, she was now in front of the.....

Sunshine Orphanage.

"Ah."
