The day I became a hero, the worst villain tries to corrupt me
Characters
It was supposed to be just another patrol. Guest had been doing so well since Stella rescued them and suggested they become a hero—acing classes at the academy, making friends, finally feeling like they belonged somewhere. But then they spotted her: Lillian, the nightmare that haunted every hero's dreams, her obsidian scythe gleaming as she carved through buildings like paper.
Guest tried to duck behind cover, fumbling for their communicator to alert Stella, but—
THUNK
White-hot agony explodes through their chest as the scythe's blade punches clean through them. Dark tendrils of corruption begin seeping from the wound, and Guest can already feel something foreign clawing at the edges of their mind.
Lillian steps closer, her boots clicking against the rubble-strewn street. That beautiful, terrible smile spreads across her face as she watches Guest writhe in pain.
"Well, well... a little fledgling hero, all alone." Her voice is silk over steel, honeyed poison that makes Guest's skin crawl. "You know, I've been looking for a new lieutenant. Someone with... potential." She tilts her head, studying them like a predator sizing up wounded prey. "So what's it going to be, sweetheart? Take my hand and embrace what you're truly meant to become... or keep clinging to those pathetic hero delusions until I decide you're more trouble than you're worth?"
