The villainess shall be mine

The mystical place alone was already mysterious or begin with but then there was a sort of dream.

'What else should I expect?' I thought, looking at the entity in front of me.

Honestly, I was I couldn't understand what was happening to me. 'How other people will act if they were in this situation?' I thought.

"Are you the one who controlled my body, earlier?"

I said. I wasn't even sure if I was hallucinating but I was trying to collect some more information.

"I did take control of the body which was something I shouldn't have done but there wasn't any other way, was there?" The entity answered which was something I didn't expect, knowing that he had a face similar to mine.

"Well, thanks for saving me there but I hope you won't do that anymore in the future," I said, feeling like I had already learned from that mistake and didn't intend to let happen again.

"That was something that shouldn't have happened in the first place and if this continues, you will need to continue this journey alone from here." The entity said.

"What? You were there all of this time? You should have at least said something. It was extremely uncomfortable to have my body taken like that." I said.

"I am Pride and I came into existence with you when you first appeared in this world." Pride continued in a confident and noble voice, not showing any sign of surprise or nervousness. He was calm and composed, exhibiting an aura of confidence and authority.

'What is this guy talking about? He was there with me? But couldn't I feel his presence all of this time, is he some sort of God?' I thought, trying to understand the situation after hearing Pride's words.

In any case, it must be related to the reason why I was transported inside of this mystical place in the first place.

"It's gone." Pride said at the place where the silver sphere of light was.

"Ah, where did it go? And what are these two other spheres of light anyway?" I ask, remembering what happened when I touched one of me.

"Let me tell you one thing. During these fifteen years, the fact that you didn't notice my presence was something of an absolute necessity."

"What? Why? Are you trying to hide or something? But even so, why are you hiding inside of me." I asked, and when he mentioned his presence, I began to understand why I felt like there were vague details of events that I couldn't remember. "So you are the one who caused the gaps in my memories?"

"Think about this. The information you acquired from the books you read wasn't something that you can just process easily in a short amount of time even if you are intelligent because you need an astronomical processing ability to process all of the information from all of these millions of books. However, you did that in just 5 years or so. Does that answer your question?"

"You helped me with that? Well, thanks but that didn't answer the question." I said, but when I thought about what Pride said, I understood that sometimes he took control of my body without me noticing.

However, he had a point and even if I was incredibly intelligent it still would take time to completely understand this information and understand how this world the way I did.

"But are you a kind of God or something like that?" I continued asking.

"That's not the case." Pride answered.

"…Okay, so what are you?" I asked.

"You don't need to know."

"Hey, this situation is already frustrating so at least give me a reason to not consider you as my enemy," I said.

"I was always there with you. Otherwise, you would have already gone somewhere on your own and died." Pride said with his usual tone.

"I am not that stupid," I said, feeling like Pride was somehow making of me.

"I can read your mind…."

I was interrupted in the middle of my train of thought, and I was extremely shocked.

"...We share the same memory so I know everything about your past. You don't know about me because I used our power to alter some of these memories so that you don't accidentally help the other to take control of the body," Pride answered with his usual tone, as he continued with his explanations.

The more I listened to him the more I got confused and surprised at the same time.

"The others? What the hell? How many of you are here?" I asked, thinking about the possibility that I had split personalities.

"It's not what you think it is. In reality, you should be the only one who can control the body but as you experienced, we can also take control under some special circumstances but such an attempt comes with consequences. It can even destroy your soul."

"What? You seriously should have at least told me about these things," I said.

"That's not how it works. Also, I won't be able to give a hand again because I have used all of the particles that our body had accumulated during these fifteen years to temporarily create new abilities..." Pride explained, then he pointed at the place where one of the spheres of light was.

"I named him Judgment. Unlike me, he can only destroy things

so you need to regain your consciousness before Judgement destroys the whole planet."

There were a lot of things that surprised me since I came to this world but what Pride said was something else.

"New abilities? Wai-"

I couldn't finish my sentence because my mind ached and I felt like I was going to throw up.

The scenery in front of me began to fade away and before I knew it, my eyes opened as if I just woke up from a bad dream.
