Villain Simulator-Chapter 125: Natural World Travel (End of Volume 1)

I laughed aloud and rolled around on the bed, envisioning the endless possibilities and applications of this power. But then I soon calmed down and focused on the next skill that had undergone a transformation.

——[Skill: Eyes of Abyss]——

Description: If you look into the Abyss, the Abyss looks back at you. Piercing through the opponent’s soul, this skill allows the user to instill fear and command obedience in others through sheer intimidation with a mere gaze.

Remarks: Kneel before the abyss that dwells within my eyes, for in the depths of my gaze lies the fear that bends even the strongest wills to my command.

————————————

[Eyes of Abyss] was the evolution of my previous skill, [Intimidation].

Like Indomitable, it was a superior version of its predecessor.

Nonetheless, the Eyes of Abyss required Chaos energy to activate, unlike Intimidation, which required Mana. And with Chaos being my second highest stat, I could use it to crush even a high-level player, pushing them to the brink of despair and causing their souls to collapse with just a simple glance.

However, that was not even the true horror of this skill, though that discussion could wait for some other day.

Next in line was my skill [Concealment], a higher level of [Stealth] allowing me to better conceal not only myself but also other people—and yes, it too required Chaos energy to operate.

Lastly, I had Chaos Core, which also gave me the trait [Chaos Affinity (A)]—that gave me complete control over Chaos energy, allowing me to not only sense but also manipulate Chaos energy according to my will.

The rest was the same as earlier. But among these same skills and traits, two anomalies stood out:

[Chaos Medium] and [Chaos Ritual].

Their presence might be puzzling, given that I had already used them to merge into Chaos Core.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

But I wasn’t the least bit surprised by their presence.

"Everything is just as I expected it to be."

Typically, skills and traits were provided by the system to the players, and the players themselves had limited knowledge of how they operated. It often takes a considerable amount of time for someone to fully comprehend a skill and make it their own.

However, in my case, despite not having these two Chaos skills for a long period, I was able to inexplicably grasp their frameworks completely. The intricacies of their operation, their mechanisms—everything was etched into my memory and soul.

This innate understanding allowed me to wield these skills without relying on the system’s guidance.

Consequently, though the system continued to display these skills, their execution no longer relied on the system’s assistance. Instead, it was based on my own comprehension of their workings.

I hadn’t noticed this fact about frameworks before, but when I was thinking hard due to Rachael’s upcoming event giving me creeps, I thought of a lot of things related to Chaos.

Like how there could be a Chaos Creature at Rachael’s awakening without Adam’s barrier, and how back in Daisy’s world, I was able to control Chaos Monsters so well.

It made me remember that when I got Chaos Medium from the system after coming back from Daisy’s world, I, for some reason, had a strange, in-depth understanding of its framework.

At the time, I didn’t delve deeply into it, but upon reflection, it sparked a desire to test my assumptions.

So on that day, I swiftly approached Ashley and her supervisor, seeking to confirm my suspicions.

The instant I used my skills, I sensed a tangible change, confirming the validity of my hypothesis.

However, my assumption was still an assumption, and even if I had 90% trust in it, I refused to gamble on the remaining 10% considering my instincts warning me about Rachael’s event.

That was why I waited—biding my time until I obtained the Evolution Sword, which allows the user to share the skill with the sword itself.

—————————————

[Evolution Sword (Zenith)]

[Description: A sword that evolves alongside its wielder. The stronger the user, the stronger the sword, and vice versa. While in a prototype state, it possesses only one skill, but it can share skills with the user and continue to evolve on the battlefield.]

[Engraved Skill: One Sword]

—————————————

It was that one line in its description that I had my eye on, and my bet on it paid off—I was right!

Even after transferring the skills, I could still use them.

This made my heart relax, and I finally allowed the system to merge both Chaos Medium and Chaos Ritual together at the cost of 5000 UC—finally obtaining Chaos Core while still keeping the original skills.

Many things happened during this event.

But even though my ability to do many things increased, some doubts still lingered in my heart.

Such as, why was my fate so entwined with Chaos?

Why was I able to understand the framework of chaos-related skills so easily?

To be honest, I had some hunches.

Sometimes, my author brain entertained the bizarre notion that perhaps in my life before Earth, I wasn’t human at all.

But without evidence to support such a wild idea, I had to push it to the back of my head.

Nevertheless, what truly mattered was that, in the end, everything turned out well.

Even though I was under immense pressure, constantly devising plans, and enduring numerous challenges along the way, even if there were some unexpected twists at the end, the outcome remained unchanged.

The results were worth all the trouble.

Regrettably, I couldn’t upgrade the Evolution Sword from its prototype state due to depleting all my Chaos Energy. Regardless, the benefits I gained more than compensated for that.

In one day, I had achieved what others couldn’t in even a couple of years, and some not even in their whole lives.

"Hehe, hahaha... HAHAHAHAHA."

For a while, I indulged in laughter, releasing the pent-up stress, but eventually, I grew tired and stopped.

The time for distraction had passed.

"Now, I have to get back to work, and since Natural World Travel is finally available, I must waste no more time."

Having made up my mind, I got up from my bed, called Charlotte, and explained everything to her. It was all casual things, like, in case it takes me a long time, what she must do, etc.

By the time I finished preparations, including gathering a significant amount of resources like gold, monster cores, weapons, elixirs, potions, and more, night had fallen.

I found myself back in my room, dressed in a loose t-shirt and shorts, reclining on my bed.

Finally, I had attended to everyone, even speaking with Sylvia and Rachael, informing them of my impending absence due to work.

Though reflecting on my time with Rachael, I noticed that her influence over my emotions, which had concerned me before, seemed to have gone away since her awakening and our Soul-Bound contract.

Or perhaps it was I, with traits and a class transformed by the Chaos Core, who was no longer as affected by Rachael.

If I were to attribute Rachael’s influence on my traits to her Class, Chaos Empress, directly affecting my Nobility, then many questions could be answered.

But that led me to another question:

Why was Rachael able to affect me when I just transmigrated?

At that time, she wasn’t even in the process of awakening.

So why?

To be honest, I still didn’t have any answers, and only time would reveal the truth. So I set aside those thoughts, grateful that at least the problem was resolved.

There was also that woman assassin, the protagonist Adam’s partner, who we kidnapped at the airport.

She was still in our captivity, being tortured and made to spill all the beans she knew about her guild.

But she was my lovely gift for the protagonist, Adam, who still hadn’t returned from the goddess’s realm.

Because by the time he would return, I would have already completed the next-world travel, trained that woman to be my good pawn, and I would be stronger than before.

"Hehehe. I hope you’ll appreciate my gift when the time comes, brother-in-law."

I chuckled sinisterly in my heart before issuing a command to the system.

"System, initiate Natural World Travel."

[Order Received]

[Proceeding with the Natural World Travel...]

"Dear new world and new protagonist, get ready, for I am coming."

With those final words, my consciousness disappeared from my body.
