Villain of my own novel

With the first few ripples, only the colour of the earth was turning dimmer and dimmer, and soon after, the ripples got stronger, adding more vibrant colours to the earth as ripples passed, and the last few ripples changed the location of the people into an early morning, bright, vibrant colours-filled...box.

Yes, all the remaining 2 billion and more people were teleported into a lush green, grass-filled field with a single mud path in the middle that led to nowhere, since they were trapped in a box, a massive, translucent box or barrier, but still, it doesn't change the fact that they were in a box, where nobody except for Eshwar was awake.

"They are like dead bodies; it would be great if that were really the case, though." He mumbled and woke Isha up, and both of them went in search of weapons and supplies that were mentioned in the system notification from earlier.

"Stats." Eshwar mumbled to check what the "reset" was.

"....." But was only met with silence. Though bothered by the fact that the system wasn't working, he and Isha continued to walk towards the middle, where the weapons seemed to be placed together with the other supplies.

Isha chose a sword that fit her while Eshwar checked on what he should pick or if there really was a need for a weapon. While pondering this, a band-like armament caught his attention. He walked towards it, picked it up, and put it on his wrist.

With a prick, the smartwatch-like band, without anything written or carved on it, fixed itself on Eshwar's wrist after absorbing a drop of blood from his body.

DING

<A user's blood sample has been acquired!>

Now, a system's notification windows popped up in front of him.

<Physical, mental, spiritual, and magical signatures acquired.>

<"Pocket System" acquired!>

<Please speak out a command phrase to initiate your pocket system.>

"Goddamn." Eshwar said with a deadpan look on his face.

<Would you like "Goddamn" to be your command phrase? Y/N>

"Hell no." He mumbled and clicked N.

"Stats."

<Would you like "Stats" to be your command phrase? Y/N>

"Stats." He mumbled again after clicking Y.

While Eshwar was checking out his status window, people began to wake up and a loud wave like commotion swept through the unconscious people, waking them up. Since his mask was invisible, he didn't really mind, and it wasn't going to change anything even if they did recognise him, so he just stood next to Isha and checked his status window.

'It looks like the stats are the same.' He thought as he clenched, and unclenched his fists.

'But I can't believe I'm a cosmic human....' Eshwar muttered inwardly and walked back, blending in with the crowd that had began to choose their weapons. Well, with his face, it didn't seem to be working that much. As he gathered all the unwanted attention, among which Calanis and Seo Hana recognised him, Calanis was able to connect the two and two together and conclude that the black-haired man was the one who slaughtered his fellow humans, because at the end of everything, Eshwar had changed his hair colour back to black, ignoring the still-alive Elves and Dwarves. While none of them were in the state to notice all the changes, Calanis wasn't one of them, because she kept her gaze on him, trying to find a chance to strike him.

While Seo Hana was someone who Eshwar intentionally left alone, just like he did with the members of the Uncharted, Katline, Katharine, Violet, Seol So-Young, Gang Jiwoo, and a son of a bit*h, who were present there in the last tournament event. Just like how he "buried" the main culprits deep underground, covered in a thin layer of aether that ate away all the mana inside their bodies without actually killing them, forcing them to suffocate to death.

"Hm?" He then glanced at Isha, who was clenching her fists, as she stood cross-armed and staring at Eshwar, who was walking towards her.

"What's wrong?" He could tell that she wasn't angry with him or the onlookers, so he couldn't help but be curious about what got her so agitated.

"You must have killed that son of a bit*h, unknowingly." Isha mumbled, and even without her mentioning who she was talking about, he was able to guess it.

"No, I left Heath Walker alive, just like I left the main characters of my novel alive." Eshwar spoke with a smile on his face. Yes, he was the "son of a bit*h," which Eshwar had left together with Katline and the others.

"Really?" Isha asked with a bright smile.

"Really." Eshwar smiled in response.

"Hoh, aren't you being thoughtful~ How about I give you a reward for it?" Isha asked and walked sensually towards him, making the onlookers turn green with envy, both men and women, no matter the race.

And Isha who was trying to tease Eshwar was screaming in embarrassment, inwardly. 'Kyaaaaaa!!!!' Isha screamed inwardly, because no matter what, she wanted to see Eshwar get flustered! She knew that she was being a bit shameless, hoping to get Eshwar flustered, but she couldn't help it since she knew no other method! Her heart was beating so fast that she wouldn't find it weird if it popped out of her chest right now, and as if that wasn't enough, she also had to control her facial expressions! And why is she doing all of this? Even I didn't know; well, I guess she hadn't seen him get flustered, but we have seen him, right? And some were in front of her too... Hmmm... Maybe she doesn't remember it? Or she just wanted to see him get flustered because they were in a relationship now?

"Is that right?" Eshwar, instead of getting flustered as she wished, walked towards her with a playful smile on his face.

"So? Please give me my reward now." He asked shamelessly as he pulled her close by her waist, hugging her and staring up at her in the eyes.

"Hmm~" He hummed playfully and leaned closer towards her lips, making the onlookers stare at them, holding their breaths in anticipation as if they were the ones kissing their lovers.

"I-I found the inventory function!!!" Isha yelped loudly as she tried to escape his clutches.

"Is that right~" Eshwar continued to tease her, and when his lips were an inch away from hers, he zoomed forward, pushing Isha back, and disappeared from the persistent gazes of the onlookers.

"Tch, the show was just about to get spicy." Core, who was among the onlookers, grumbled with a pout and got hit on the back of her head by Louie, who was standing behind her, Arngrim, and Henry.

"Booo...." Core ignored him and continued to pout.

"Well, not as passionately and alluringly as them, but we could try." Suddenly, a voice sounded behind her. With surprised expressions on their faces, they glanced at Henry, who had just spoken. This was the first time Henry was initiating something like that! It was always Core who clung on to him, so that was something unexpected from Henry.

"Let's go away from these old geezers first!" Core happily clung on to his arm and dragged him away, poking her tongue out at Louie and Arngrim, who were dumbfounded by Henry's abrupt change, while Core thanked Eshwar and Isha inwardly and continued to drag Henry along to where people weren't there.

"Well, that was unexpected." Louie mumbled as soon as Henry and Core were out of sight.

"Anyway, old geezer, I'll go find myself a woman, you... never mind." With that, Arngrim rushed towards an elf woman, spoke with her for a few moments, and then walked away somewhere, leaving behind Louie, who was stupefied by the absurdity that had just occurred.

"Am I stupid, or do they just not understand the situation we are in?" Louie mumbled under his breath but still glanced around in search of a woman who was to his liking, though he remembered Alair's mother every time he tried to find himself a woman.

"Ha! I don't even know her name...." Louie scoffed at himself and mumbled under his breath.

Meanwhile,

"Mhnmf~" Isha and Eshwar shared an alluring kiss that seemed to have been going on for a few minutes now.

"Mhnmpff~" Isha patted his shoulders in hopes of stopping him; of course, Eshwar, like a gentleman, broke the kiss and let go of her.

"Haa...haa...haa..." Isha breathed heavily, glaring at him with tear-filled eyes.

"So, this is how you do it?" Eshwar asked as a black-coloured, triangles-filled, abstract orb appeared, floating a centimetre above the smartwatch-like band that was supposedly a pocket system.

"Haa...yes..." Isha nodded.

"Hmmm...." Eshwar placed his hand "in" the blob that expanded wide enough to fit his fist; he then grabbed what he wanted from his inventory and pulled it out slowly, gazing at the coolest phenomenon he had ever seen take place right in front of him.

Eshwar held a gun's grip as he slowly pulled it out, watching as tens of abstract triangles combined themselves with one another, taking the shape of a shotgun as he pulled out his Devil's Shotgun from his inventory, and after it was completely out of the triangles-filled, abstract orb, with a satisfying wave of clicks, all the triangles joined themselves, finally turning into his original Devil's Shotgun.

"Whohohoa!!!!" Eshwar laughed in amusement and satisfaction with genuine, child-like twinkles in his eyes as he put his shotgun in and out of the inventory.

"That's so f**king cool!!!" Eshwar exclaimed, looking at Isha.

"Is it?" Isha asked, even though it was indeed cool, she couldn't understand why he was so excited about it.

"Of course, it is! I'm a big fan of the guy who transforms into ten different aliens with the help of his watch; it's like a dream come true!!" Eshwar exclaimed again as he played with it, but Isha noticed something weird with the abstract orb and glanced at her own watch.

"It can't be...."
