Villain Simulator-Chapter 115: Master, Who Are You?

In the heart of the dense forest, Charlotte knelt beside the motionless figure of Rachael, her voice desperate as she called out to her…

"Rachael, wake up! Sister Rachael, what happened to you? Wake up! It’s no time or place to be joking around."

Charlotte shouted, grabbing Rachael’s shoulders and shaking her. She even splashed some water from the bottle on Rachael’s face, but to no avail.

"Sigh!"

Noticing that Rachael had truly fallen into a deep, unresponsive coma-like state, Charlotte sighed with a heavy heart.

’Master’s words really turned out to be true.’

The concern etched on her face vanished, replaced by a deep look.

’It’s as if he knew what was about to happen.’

Charlotte’s breath paused in realization, and a chill seeped into her bones, matching the icy dread that had gripped her heart.

But it wasn’t the dungeon’s atmosphere or Rachael’s unconsciousness that sent shivers down her spine—it was the haunting echo of her master’s prophetic words.

This unfolding situation mirrored exactly what Adrian, her master, had foreseen. He had even instructed her not to worry, to wait until he arrived, and to pretend she didn’t know anything about the situation, even if Rachael was unconscious.

For Charlotte, this eerie sense of déjà vu was all too familiar. Adrian had predicted countless events in the past, including her recent fight with Adam, which unfolded precisely as he had foretold, resulting in Adam’s escape despite their best efforts to kill him.

If she hadn’t witnessed it firsthand, Charlotte might not have even believed such absurd things as knowing the future.

But now, even if she was reluctant, she had to believe it.

"Master, exactly who are you?"

Charlotte’s mood was complicated.

Sitting beside Rahcael’s body under the shade of a tree, her mind drifted, making her recall that night Adrian confronted her about her thoughts to leave him, and she promised to never leave him and that she would always stay by his side, no matter the case.

That vow was not made lightly; Charlotte meant every word of it.

Not only because she saw hope for her future with him, but also because there was a morbid fascination within her.

The previous Adrian was a whimpering loser, but after awakening, this new Adrian was similar to an incomprehensible, mysterious existence.

His affection for Rachael, his manipulation of Sylvia, his acute intuition, his keen mind, his merciless determination, his dignified demeanor, his training day and night until he would pass out, his constant development, his meticulous planning, his obsession with perfection.

Having witnessed all of this, Charlotte had a desire to get to know him better and felt an even greater attraction to him.

She wanted to unravel the enigma that was her master—this new Adrian.

"But with understanding came horror, and with proximity came revelation."

It was as if destiny was playing with her, because the very next morning, Charlotte suffered a devastating setback in her mission to know her master better as she beheld the sight of Daisy exiting his room alongside him in the morning.

Charlotte’s jaw nearly dropped in shock.

Who was this blonde girl? Where did she come from? Why did her master, Adrian, suddenly become stronger overnight?

So many questions swirled in Charlotte’s mind, yet no answer came to sight, fueling her frustration almost to the brink of punching the wall.

The night before that day, she dozed off in her room next to his, but she wasn’t so clumsy that she would fail to notice her master bringing a girl back to the room.

Even afterwards, when Charlotte asked the guards stationed all around the villa, their response was the same.

No one came in, and no one went out, which even more perplexed her because that only meant one thing.

That blonde woman, Daisy, came out of thin air.

Furthermore, according to Adrian’s subsequent explanation, Charlotte learned that Daisy was no ordinary human—she was afflicted with a Chaos curse.

What seemed even more absurd was that Daisy did not have a system!

Adrian attributed it to the curse, but could a Chaos curse, which supposedly only erased memories, be responsible for the disappearance of the Nexus World’s System?

One had to know that it was the Nexus World System that allowed the players all over the world to be awakened in the first place.

So how could one simply lose connection to it and still retain their powers?

The situation was so bizarre that if it were to become public knowledge, the world would be thrown into chaos.

However, Adrian’s casual demeanor about it made Charlotte wonder if he was deliberately misleading her.

Though, soon, even that assumption of hers proved to be wrong.

The more Charlotte interacted with Daisy and inquired about her from Sharon, the more she realized that Daisy was truly one of a kind.

Daisy lacked a system and any significant memory of this world; moreover, she frequently used peculiar words and made unusual comparisons.

It was as if Daisy didn’t belong to this world at all.

Yet that notion seemed even more impossible, bizarre, and unsettling.

Furthermore, Daisy and Adrian behaved so close to each other as if they were longtime friends.

But Charlotte could swear to God that she had never even heard of a girl named Daisy in Adrian’s life.

Nevertheless, this was just the beginning of the mystery surrounding Adrian.

Things took a turn for the worse when Rachael announced her imminent awakening.

While awakening was usually a cause for celebration and everything appeared to be fine initially, Charlotte sensed something off.

Others might not have noticed anything wrong, but Charlotte, with her keen intuition as a high-ranking player who spent days and nights with Adrian, felt it.

Since the day her master Adrian learned about Rachael’s awakening, he seemed to have been under more stress.

It wasn’t apparent on his face, but it was as if Rachael’s awakening meant something more significant, causing his actions to become even more rushed.

He began tying up loose ends, such as meeting his father and allowing Sylvia to deal with those three girls so he could capture one of them and their supervisor.

Then he rushed into dungeons one after another, leveling up at an alarming rate.

Charlotte couldn’t comprehend what he was trying to do or what was weighing on his mind to make him act in such a manner.

But a few days prior to today, when he briefed her on today’s plan and hinted at the significance of Rachael’s awakening, only then did the pieces of the puzzle click in Charlotte’s mind one by one.

Charlotte felt as though she had grasped everything yet understood nothing at the same time.

It was an overwhelmingly suffocating sensation.

’How did he foresee this outcome? How could he discern it all? Why the sudden surge in training? What is his ultimate goal?’

She knew Adrian withheld information from her, but Charlotte refrained from probing further, recognizing that, like herself, he too had secrets he preferred to keep hidden.

However, Charlotte’s curiosity remained unquenched; the urge only intensified. After all, the event was truly a shocking one—the breakout of at least 50 Chaos Dungeons in New York City.

Who wouldn’t be curious?

Even though today, Charlotte entered this low-level Dungeon as soon as the weather changed, she could still imagine, based on the information she knew, what kind of destruction and havoc might be unfolding outside.

To be honest, even for Charlotte, who was trained as a ruthless Shadow guard, contemplating the slaughter of millions and the destruction of New York City was unsettling.

But her master, Adrian, saw even this as an opportunity.

Not only was he unfazed by the impending chaos, having already foreseen it, he even saw fit to exploit it further, orchestrating the demise of two top guilds in the USA and reaping immense profits.

Yet, as far as Charlotte knew, this was a mere appetizer to his true scheme.

His true plan was set to unfold in this low-level dungeon that would soon transform into a high-level one due to Rachael’s awakening—a dungeon that could make the strongest of players wet their pants just hearing about it.

And the fact that all these could be brought about solely through Rachael’s awakening made Charlotte look at Rachael with a scrutinizing gaze, even more deeply this time than before.

"Who are you, Rachael?"

Charlotte didn’t know the depths of Rachael’s true identity, but she understood it was something beyond her imagination.

But even such a mysterious Rachael was like a puppet, manipulated by her master, Adrian.

Similar to how he manipulated Sylvia.

"That girl, Sylvia, didn’t even understand, and her life changed forever."

Charlotte couldn’t help but feel cold, remembering her.

However, her unease stemmed not from Sylvia’s situation but from Adrian’s manipulation, which led Sylvia to her current state.

Such ruthlessness, foresight, manipulation, and emotionless calculation—the intricate plan devised to ensnare these girls—sent a shiver down Charlotte’s spine.

It was as if he could anticipate her every thought and desire.

Yet, this was just his scheming; his physical abilities and skills were on par, if not surpassing, his scheming.

For instance, his sudden surge in strength, his procurement of the potions used in the attacks on the two guilds today, or his ability to control Chaos energy.

Charlotte first witnessed it in the dungeon when he saved Rachael from an explosion and transferred his Chaos energy to the dungeon’s boss monster.

Making her initially believe that it was due to an artifact or something; after all, how could a human possess such an ability to control Chaos energy?

But when she witnessed him transferring Chaos energy from Daisy to Ashley and her supervisor with such excellent precision and depth, she realized it was indeed his own ability.

This only added to the mystery surrounding him, leaving Charlotte to question:

’Master, are you even human?’
