Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Chapter 62: Perfect Fit

In the kitchen, plates started to pile up faster than a speed-eating contest as Reign and Wick devoured the meats like ravenous beasts.

Reign abandoned all pretense of utensils, opting instead to grab slabs of meat with his bare hands and stuff them into his mouth.

Every now and then, he'd sprinkle some pepper and salt onto the raw meat before savoring it like a connoisseur at a five-star restaurant.

"More!" Reign requested another batch, and Mellisa was forced to open the fridge to get more. It was a good thing she had plenty of stock on hand.

The reason Reign was consuming so much was that the energy from eating animal meats paled in comparison to that derived from humans. Eating meat triggered his instincts, and he needed to satisfy the craving.

He made a mental note to be more mindful of what he eat after experiencing this.

'How can that thing eat so much?' Mellisa wondered aloud.

She could understand Reign's appetite since he was a monster, but Wick was just a dog. How could it eat so much?

Little did she know, Wick was no ordinary dog.

In fact, even a real lion would struggle if Wick got serious. While it may no longer be a demon dog, its time spent with Reign had enabled it to regain its powers without being corrupted by negative energy.

The reason for this was because the negative energy absorbed from Reign had already been purified by the system.

Normal negative energy often carries the malice of the people who died to create it, or the will of the demon who unleashed it.

However, Reign's dormant negative energy was pure and devoid of any harmful intent. It lacked the malice that typically accompanied such energies, rendering it harmless to Wick.

The only times Reign's negative energy became dangerous was when he utilized his skills like Death Aura.

In the end, all of her stock was depleted, and she had to go out to another trailer to get more meat.

Fortunately, most residents in the area respected and owed her a favor or two, so they willingly provided her with the meat she needed.

'These monsters will bankrupt me,' she thought to herself, feeling the strain of providing for Reign's  appetite. She couldn't help but admire George for maintaining his sanity while taking care of this bunch of troublemakers.

After his meal, Reign stood up and walked past Mellisa without even offering a sign of gratitude.

In fact, he even blamed her for inviting him for food, forcing him to eat animal meat, which he found not very appetizing.

'This ungrateful son of a bitch,' Mellisa felt wronged, but she hid her true feelings behind a forced smile.

'Calm yourself, calm yourself,' she murmured, taking deep breaths to control her rising frustration.

'He's your ticket to success someday,' she reassured, reminding herself that all of this would yield significant returns in the future.

On the Living Room

Reign sat on the couch as if he owned the place, watching television. The TV programs here were similar to those in his old world, so he was able to adjust quickly.

But if there was something he felt disappointed about, it was the absence of anime. All the shows were cartoons, and he did not like the art style.

After growing bored, he switched to watching the news. As expected, there was no mention of demons whatsoever. It was evident that the government was manipulating the media to conceal all of this.

"Reign, my contact is here," Mellisa announced as she approached, accompanied by another man with a tall stature and a bald head.

"This is my friend Johnny. He can make a fake face for you. Don't worry, he's a professional who deals with people like you," she introduced him, trying to reassure Reign.

"Do you do other jobs aside from this? Like, are you a doctor, firefighter, teacher, or even an astronaut?" Reign asked casually, sensing a hint of familiarity in the bald man's appearance.

"No, I just make prosthetic masks for a living," Johnny answered.

"I see... Just get it over with," Reign replied.

Good thing that Johny was a professional accustomed to making monster masks in his line of work. He didn't show any hint of disgust after seeing Reign's skull face.

It also helped that he was aware that demons and monsters exist in this world.

He began mixing some kind of chemical, and soon a gooey orange clay material formed. .

Then he instructed Reign to press his face into the gooey clay material. This would serve as the foundation for his fake skin, molding to the contours of his skull.

"Do you have any preference for the skin color?" Johny asked, jotting down notes as he spoke.

Reign pondered for a moment before answering, "Just make it fair," he replied.

It was his skin color in his previous life.

After asking more questions and receiving Reign's feedback, Johny stood up and bid his goodbyes to get to work. He still had to travel back to the city since his office was located there.

"Are you sure we can trust that man?" Reign asked with a suspicious tone.

"Don't worry, he's a professional," Mellisa reassured him. "He's the go-to guy when some of our agents need disguises for missions."

Reign didn't pressed further. Finding it too bothersome, he decided to just take another nap.

This would be his usual routine for days to come, until everything was completed.

2 days passed.

Inside Mellisa's Trailer

"Please check this out," Johny spoke up after opening a briefcase where an artificial face was placed.

Reign touched the skin, amazed at how realistic it felt. It surpassed his expectations.

"Do you like it?" Johny asked.

"Um," Reign just nodded.

"This thing is made of a special type of material. It's soft and light, so when you put it on, you won't have to worry about any discomfort. And just in case you damage it, I made three more spares," Johny explained.

After explaining things, he informed Reign about the process of putting on the mask.

It was very straightforward; he just needed to wear it like a cloth and then hide the extra skin located on the neck under his clothing.

When the installation was complete, Reign went to a mirror to get a good look at himself.

He now looked more human, with fine details to make it more realistic. It would be weird if his face was too smooth after all.

All in all, it was good enough to hide his true nature, aside from the fact that his eyes were still flickering orbs of blue flame.

But that would not be an issue much longer because Mellisa had taken this into consideration.

She handed Reign a special type of clothing. It resembled bandages and might looked complicated to put on, but it was very portable. Something that Reign could put on and take off anytime.

"This is acceptable," Reign remarked, his satisfaction evident in his voice as he examined his new appearance.

With fair skin, white hair(wig), and his eyes concealed by bandages, he felt confident in his disguise. Mellisa had even provided him with new clothing, completing his transformation.

It was a black uniform-like clothing with a collar that extended above his neck.

Initially, he found the design unique, almost like he was cosplaying. However, after seeing similar trendy styles on TV, he realized that this was the current fashion trend.

As for his hands, he covered them with black gloves made of a special flexible material. They were designed for easy removal in case he needed to use his abilities.
