Villain Ch 964. Unappreciated
Red_King finally tore his gaze away from the distant figure of Sophia, turning back to Father^Alex and Mastercraft with a determined look. His eyes, once shadowed by doubt, now burned with renewed intensity. “Exactly,” he said, his voice firm, carrying a note of finality. “We can’t let her or anyone else distract us from what we need to do.
We’re going to keep pushing, keep training, and eventually, we’ll find a way to take the villains down.” There was an edge to his words, a promise not just to himself but to his comrades as well.
Father^Alex managed a small smile, the weight of their earlier defeat beginning to lift just a little. His posture straightened, and the tension in his shoulders eased slightly. “Yeah,” he said, the smile growing a bit more genuine. “We’ll win someday.
We just have to keep moving forward.” The words were simple, but they carried a quiet strength, a belief that they could overcome the odds if they stayed true to their course.
Red_King grinned, the fire of determination rekindled in his eyes. He clapped Father^Alex on the shoulder, the gesture firm but encouraging. “That’s the spirit, Alex,” he said, his voice filled with fierce confidence. “We’re not done yet—not by a long shot.” His grin widened and leaned back against the bench. Then a small, almost reluctant smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
“You know, after everything that happened today, I think we’ve earned a little break,” he said, his tone more relaxed than it had been all day.
Father^Alex chuckled softly, nodding in agreement. “Yeah, a break sounds good,” he replied. “I could use a moment to just… breathe.”
Mastercraft grinned broadly. “A break and maybe a drink,” he suggested, pulling a mana potion from his inventory with a flourish. He held it up, examining the bright liquid with a thoughtful expression. “Not exactly the kind of drink you’d find at a tavern, but hey, it’ll do the trick.”
Red_King laughed, the sound warm and genuine. “Potions are the new ale,” he joked, reaching into his own inventory to retrieve a health potion. “Who needs a tavern when you’ve got these?”
Father^Alex and Mastercraft followed suit, Father^Alex opting for a mana potion. The three of them held up their bottles, the bright liquids catching the light as they prepared for an impromptu toast.
“To not giving up,” Red_King declared, his voice filled with the determination that had been reignited in their conversation.
“To pushing forward,” Mastercraft added, his grin wide.
Father^Alex smiled, his earlier doubts and worries momentarily set aside. “And to winning, someday,” he finished, his voice steady and filled with a quiet resolve.
The bottles clinked together and drank it before the laughter filled them again.
Of course, those bursts of laughter from Red_King, Father^Alex, and Mastercraft didn’t go unnoticed. Sophia, who was busily using her Mass Healing skill on the players who had died alongside her at the Black Castle, couldn’t help but feel a pang of irritation. Or envy to be precise.
She didn’t understand how Father^Alex could have a nice team and good friends while she couldn’t have the same thing after all she had done at the last battle.
‘Tch!’ she clicked her tongue in displeasure before she shifted her gaze to the players in front of her. Read chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
She had been expecting gratitude, maybe even admiration for her efforts in reviving and restoring the health of her fellow players. After all, she was the one who had rushed to their aid, who had healed their wounds and given them a second chance.
But the reality was far from what she had envisioned. As her healing light washed over the players, some simply nodded and walked away without a word of thanks. Others gave her a quick, almost dismissive glance before turning on their heels and heading off as if they couldn’t get away from her fast enough.
And then there were those who looked at her with thinly veiled disappointment, their expressions a mixture of frustration and disillusionment. It was a look that stung, one that made her chest tighten with a mix of anger and confusion.
She kept her composure, maintaining the calm, benevolent smile she had perfected over countless battles and social interactions within the game. But inside, her thoughts churned with bitterness. ‘This is all because of that cursed siren,’ she seethed inwardly, her mind replaying the events that had led to her current situation. Shea’s words had thrown everything into chaos.
Instead of being the hero who saved the day, she had been reduced to little more than a background character, struggling to maintain control over a situation that had spiraled far beyond her grasp.
Sophia’s eyes flicked toward the group of players who had gathered near the fountain, their backs turned to her as they laughed and talked among themselves. It didn’t take much to recognize the camaraderie they shared, the bond forged through the battles they had fought together. It was the kind of bond that no amount of healing spells or flashy displays of power could create.
It was earned, built on trust and shared experiences, not on grand gestures meant to impress.
Her gaze shifted to the players who were still standing around her, those who had accepted her healing but offered nothing in return—not even a simple thank you. ‘Ungrateful,’ she thought bitterly. ‘All of them.’ Yet she knew that was unfair. They weren’t ungrateful—they were disillusioned.
But somehow, Sophia managed to keep a smile on her lips, playing the part of the nice and good healer she had always portrayed herself to be. She knew how to maintain the facade, how to wear the mask that had served her so well in the past. Inside, she was seething, her thoughts a tangled web of frustration and bitterness, but outwardly, she remained the picture of calm and grace.
Shortly, she noticed a familiar figure approaching her through the crowd. It was INeedAHotGF, his expression a mix of concern and weariness. He had seen the way the others had treated her, the dismissive glances, the lack of gratitude. It hadn’t gone unnoticed by him, and it irked him to see her efforts go unappreciated.
When he reached her, INeedAHotGF gave Sophia a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “Hey, don’t let them get to you,” he said, his voice low and comforting. “You did your best out there. They just don’t get it.”
