Villain of my own novel

Chapter 25 24. Individual X.

?"Huuu…. Vinny call Jiwoo, we need to talk about the future before we go to the academy." I need to discuss with them about the future to check if they know something different.

"I'll check rewards for the time being."

I open the new 'inventory' function, as it said that rewards will be in my inventory.

'INVENTORY'

INVENTORY:

[Trishul [BOUND ITEM] [Rank: ???] [Type: TRIDENT]: Skills: Cresent moon, Third eye.]

[Training Wooden Sword [Rank: D] [Type: BROAD SWORD]: Skill: Weight adjustment.]

[Ice Blood Katana [Rank: S] [Type: SWORD]: Skill: Ice Blood.]

[Devil's Shotgun [BOUND ITEM] [Rank: ???] [Type: GUN]: Skills: Quick reload, Burst.]

"Hmm.." 'Everything is useful.'

Guns! Why didn't I think of it first. Gun is the best weapon, if I somehow manage to increase its fire power, then it will be much easier to fight and I have to come up with a plan for bullets.

'Wow, I would be unstoppable if I use a gun, wouldn't I?' I can deal damage in long range, mid range and if the enemy is too close I can just use the gun as a blunt weapon and use my skills 'Good with hands' and 'hand to hand combat!'

"Kekekeke." I laughed out involuntarily. I could literally imagine fighting a horde of monsters with a machine gun. Machine!

CLUNK (3x)

"Huh?"

"What's that sound?" Vinny asked with a frown.

I frowned because of the sudden sound, but I couldn't sense anything and it sounded from my left.

"Kuh." I suddenly felt a sharp pain from the back of my palm. I held my wrist and groaned.

"Arrrrgggg." Steam started to form from my hand and smell of burning flesh hit my nostrils. I wanted to rip off my palm because the pain I would feel after would feel better than the pain I'm feeling now.

Vinny ran around the room trying to find something. Even he didn't know what he was looking for but he ran around completely messing up everything in the room.

'What is happening today, it must be my unlucky day today.'

"Hahahahaha, Guh."

"Huff.... Huff..... Huff.." The pain stopped, mostly 30 seconds had passed but it felt like hours to me. I lifted my palm to look at what had just happened. A circular metal bump with a cavity which glowed blue had formed on the face of my palm.

PING

[SYSTEM INFLUENCE INCREASED BY 1]

[SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS MET FOR TRAIT: MACHINE PARASITE.]

[NEW SKILL UNLOCKED, Skill: LINK [Rank: ???]]

"... From when did system give notifications on every new thing?" I mumbled.

I stared at my left palm and observed on my body's new changes.

"Huh?"

I feel everything in my body, like every single cell! I.... I'm under control of everything in my body.

I felt my heart race from the shock and excitement, this is the best gift anybody could ever get and for me it's the best weapon I could ever have! The technique I use which was only a bit under my control will now be under my control perfectly.

"Hahahaha, isn't this more like a blessing in disguise?"

"What is this foul smell? Did you shit in your house or something?" Gang Jiwoo walked into the room, wearing casual t-shirt and shorts.

"Jiwoo!" Vinny was pleased by Jiwoo's appearance because he had a new pair of hands for help.

Jiwoo glanced at Vinny and looked at me.... My hand to be exact, suddenly his eyes light up and he pointed at my hand.

"Whoa, what's with this Iron man shit?!" Jiwoo exclaimed joyfully.

*

"System is acting weird?" Jiwoo asked with wide eyes.

"Did you check the inventory function?"

"Yea, did you check it? I think you'll understand more." Vinny said with hopeful eyes.

"I did, but I was just happy because I can hold my katana inside it." Jiwoo said with a bit dejected face.

[Jiwoo, I haven't written anything like this.] I spoke with Jiwoo telepathically.

Jiwoo who was looking down suddenly opened his eyes wide, he understood what I meant and suddenly turned to face me with panic written all over his face.

"What?! Then how?" Jiwoo asked while sweating profusely.

".... What's going on?" Vinny asked as he stared at us, he seemed to looking at our souls.

"..."

"..."

After a few minutes of silence I could feel Vinny getting impatient, he had almost somewhat figured out that something was wrong.

"... Tell me!" Vinny yelled as he released his killing intent.

"Ukh." Jiwoo groaned.

" Haa..." I sighed as I started to think if I should tell him about anything or not.

If I tell him, he most likely won't sit still, who in god's name would sit still if I say 'I played with your life from the beginning and now, I somehow lost control over everything so you can die now.'

Well I have a regressor card but, regression will become a candy which anybody could get, as long as they wanted. Hmmm..... What should I do in this situation, it's not like Vinny is dumb, he should have tried, no, maybe he already has, somewhat figured out who I am, though it is not completely and it's not like you can trust a person you know nothing about.

And I can't reveal that I'm the author of his life which is full of misery.

Something is going on which I don't know and somebody else knows of the future, we don't know what kind of a person knows the future, if he/she is good, they will definitely be in spot light and if they are evil, it will become extremely difficult to dig them out if they are smart and if he/she is dumb they to will be in spotlight soon enough.

'Individual X, huh.'

I glanced back at Vinny whose killing intent was starting to take shape, the aura a person gives off takes shape and changes colour, if the individual becomes strong enough, Vinny's aura was looking like a bull while the colour was green, it was very vague but I could make out what it was because I knew.

"Ukh." Jiwoo groaned in pain.

Jiwoo's groan woke me up from my daze, I realised that he would literally die if Vinny released a bit more killing intent.

"Oi." I frowned because Vinny was doing too much, a ripple formed from me, it wasn't anything strong but it was enough to push back Vinny's killing intent.

SHATTER

The plates we were eating sandwiches from shattered into pieces.

"..."

".. Ukh."

".....Um, sorry?"
