Should I Become a Villain?

The main reward of the quest back then was the <Mystery of the Magic Warding Stone>. Radmilo could physically hold the item, which took the form of a book. However, he could also read the contents through the system screen.",

He preferred the system screen because it was more practical and could be activated anytime without being seen by others. Thirty minutes later, he would carry out his job as a dungeon cleaner. He took advantage of this time to re-read the <Mystery of the Magic Warding Stone> at his apartment.

[Magic Warding Stone is a stone that appears in humans' hands as a medium to catch the magic their bodies can't accept. The human will have difficulty surviving if the stone loses its ability to ward off magical energy.

They may still be alive because the Magic Stone is indestructible. The stone simply lost the ability to counteract large amounts of magical energy. Cores with healing abilities or strong monster scales can temporarily overcome this problem.

Magic Energy Adaptation is the only way to restore the damaged stone's function. It can be done by periodically directing small amounts of magical energy into the stone, allowing the stone to adapt to the magical energy.

Magic Energy Adaptation can also be made through weapons or anything that can flow magic energy. However, if the measure of magical energy is wrong, the human will die instantly. Functional stones require a different measure of magical energy depending on their state.]

Radmilo sighed when he saw the notice. To be honest, he felt irritated because he did not get what he expected, even though he had caused trouble with the IRO. Nevertheless, he realized something after reading <Mystery of the Magic Warding Stone>.

The book stated that the magic stone was indestructible, but it could lose the ability to adapt to magic. Radmilo assumed the weapon Maido used to stab his stone was not an ordinary dagger.

Someone in his previous life appeared to have obtained the book item and had reached the final content. The dagger must have been made after researching all the contents of the item.

Radmilo believed the dagger had something that made the stone stop functioning. That was why he died because his stone could not receive a large amount of magical energy.

However, the incident at the guild building was still a mystery to Radmilo. He had crushed the stones of the two people he met there. It was strange because they could still adapt to magic after destroying their stone.

He also did not know why his power could destroy their stone. Would his curiosity be answered if he upgraded his item? In the end, he had no choice but to complete quests to increase the level of his item.

"Show me the quest to upgrade the item level," Radmilo muttered, and the system immediately processed his request.

Radmilo re-read the quest and found nothing complicated. It looked like the difficulty of the quest would gradually increase.

"Fine. Let me do it when I'm done with my damn job."

The man got up from the couch to walk out of his apartment. He had to endure being a dungeon cleaner for a while. After getting more support from The Instruments, he would start his plan to infiltrate the IRO.

Outside the apartment, Dianella laughed while looking at her cell phone. Memes on the internet always made her happy and took up much of her time. She unknowingly had been standing in front of her apartment door for fifteen minutes watching a funny video.

Her attention from the phone was lost when she heard the sound of the door being opened. Dianella looked to the side and found Radmilo had just left his apartment.

"Don't get me wrong! I didn't mean to wait for you to go together to the guild building," Dianella spoke immediately because the man beside her said nothing.

Radmilo raised his eyebrows in confusion. "What are you talking about? I didn't think you were waiting for me."

Hearing this, Dianella clenched her fists. She did not respond even though she was a little annoyed. In the end, she had to take Radmilo to her car because Jim had forced her to come immediately with the man.

The raid team leader told them that something bad had happened, so they had to come early.

***

At the Tasmanian Devils' guild building.

Jim had gathered with the raid team in a room. Only Radmilo and Dianella had not come. The two of them did not come late actually because there was still time before the raid team descended into the dungeon.

However, Jim told them to come immediately because of a problem with the dungeon. Today his raid team should be casually tackling a low-level dungeon. They had raided a high-level dungeon a few days ago.

The raid team was happy because they could finish the raid in no time. According to data, low-level dungeons could be completed in half an hour on average if the raid team had good hunters and could work together.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened. The Guild Union reported that the low-level dungeon had changed to mid-level due to the emergence of a new dungeon.

Such an occurrence was rare, but it could happen at any time, so the raid team was not caught by surprise.

"Ah, I hate this! We have to come up with a new strategy because the monsters we have to face have increased," Gran groaned in annoyance while grabbing his hair.

He was a member of Team C who had just returned to activity after recovering from an injury he had suffered. The injury had healed entirely now. However, he could not help but feel irritated when he found out the monster in the new dungeon was slimed, the kind of monster that had injured him earlier.

"Hey, calm down! You think you're the only one pissed off here?" Carl rolled his eyes while re-reading the report from the Guild Union.

The slime monster only appeared five minutes ago, while the raid schedule would be held in twenty minutes. The raid team needed to develop a new strategy within that time.

They could have shifted the raid schedule to another guild. However, they did not want to because the other guilds would laugh at them and say, "This is the true ability of the Tasmanian Devil guild. They are only famous but don't have great abilities."

Jim was the person who had the least desire to hurl raid schedules at other teams or guilds. If he did it, Keith Smith would be using his decision as a mockery for months.

"We will make a new strategy while waiting for Dianella and Radmilo to come," Jim said, breaking the silence in the room.

The other raid team members gathered around Jim to discuss their new strategy. Meanwhile, Dianella and Radmilo arrived at the guild building ten minutes later.

"I didn't expect this to happen to my team," Dianella grumbled as she walked quickly towards Team C's room.

Radmilo, who could catch up with the girl's footsteps, asked, "Have you experienced this before?"

"Of course not! The sudden appearance of the new dungeon is a rare occurrence. The raid team can't make a backup plan because they don't know what monsters would appear."

"But I think we are lucky that the monster appeared before we start the raid."

"Still, it's bad luck for me."

Dianella ran because she intended to reach her destination faster, leaving Radmilo behind her. The man walked slower than before as he thought about the appearance of the new dungeon in the targeted dungeon.

In the future, such incidents would only occur once every six months to a year. Now Radmilo understood the reason after meeting with the Instruments. They must have lost the chance to move their dungeons after quite a while.

Radmilo needed to learn the full details about this. Those monsters often moved their dungeons to crowded places. However, cases of moving their dungeons to old dungeons were extremely rare.

In his previous life, the Guild Union had surmised it was happening because the monsters had friendly ties. The monster allowed other monsters to come to their dungeons.

Even though this assumption had not been supported by accurate evidence, Radmilo still believed it. He was sure the slime monster was friends with monsters in the dungeon the raid team had to encountered previously.

The two monsters intended to do a combo to kill humans more effectively. Radmilo was intrigued by the slime monster because the types of slime were uncommon.
