Admit you cheated, you damn rat-eater!\" while our resident scammer just kept on smirking, even as he was being actively strangled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Vince had an impressive lung capacity. Anyone else would’ve just passed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, I managed to pry Kang’s fingers off his throat one by one. The blue-haired boy dropped to the floor the moment he was free, coughing as if he’d just returned from the afterlife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll have you know,\" he wheezed, raising a shaky finger, \"that was a perfectly legal maneuver.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You rolled the dice twice!\" Kang barked. \"I know you did! I just can’t prove it yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You sneeze, you lose. Am I right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You cheater! It’s called fraud!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s called adaptation. Please keep up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang growled and lunged again. Without looking, I stepped between them, planting my palm on the angry young man’s forehead and holding him in place like an overgrown, very irritable dog. \"Sit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t sit. If anything, I seemed to have made him angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Alexia had to reluctantly step out of the hot tub to hold him back... which didn’t actually take much effort. She was in a bikini, and the mere sight of her in that scandalous attire folded Kang almostimmediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gave me the chance to help Juliana out of the jacuzzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She emerged from the water dripping wet, damp hair plastered to her face and cold eyes half-lidded, looking like she was profoundly done with life. After catching her breath, she turned her gaze toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...We were seeing who could stay underwater the longest. That shorty cheated,\" she explained flatly. \"She body-slammed me. But don’t worry, I was still winning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I... wasn’t worried aboutthat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you were actually drowning,\" I said, squinting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A minor setback. My comeback was imminent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...No, it really wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared at her, and she stared back. Then, she turned around to head toward the partition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, just because I promised to tell this story as honestly as possible, I’ll admit I checked her out a little as she walked away so sinuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll also admit I enjoyed the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...And that was probably one of the times Ishould’verealized something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>•••\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone somewhat calmed down, I sat there listening to Ray rant about how my family had’committed crimes against all of mankind’by illegally taking away his drone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words, not mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, obviously, I wasn’t going to argue with someone who looked like he was one stray word away from breaking into tears again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I just comforted him by gently patting his head as he continued sniffing into my newly attached right shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his grief, I suppose, he didn’t notice how different the limb felt to the touch compared to normal human flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I swear, Sam! I swear, if they delete even a single frame of that footage without my consent—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes. I know. You’ll cry. Now shush, I’ll get it back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, my familywasn’tin the wrong here. TheNoctveil Wildswere a region in the Spirit Realm that functioned as a prison for not one, buttwoapocalyptic monsters — the Moon Eater Vaeghar and the Reflection Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, it was where secrets related to gods and angels were buried. Hell, there had even been an actual fallen god rotting away there before I killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, it was only natural that my family wanted to review the vlogs to ensure they didn’t expose any sensitive information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though, I think we had already done a good job on that front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had always asked Ray to stop recording whenever I was about to tell them something meant only for our ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had also asked him, on multiple occasions, to delete anything that evenhintedwe knew more than what random Cadets our age should.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As such, it wasn’t a problem that my family had confiscated’Ray’s life work, his masterpiece, and his legacy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again... his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, I was serious about getting it back for him — half because I couldn’t ignore how pathetically he was crying and half because I knew he wasn’t going to stop pestering me until I did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only problem was... Michael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, he had stopped sobbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he was lying flat on his belly, face completely buried in the marble floor. I could have sworn I saw depressing, cartoonish blue lines hovering over his prone form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he dead?\" I pointed to him with my chin. \"What happened to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexia, who had just returned from somewhere outside the room, came to sit on the other side of the couch. She had changed into a loose robe, the soft fabric hugging her frame rustled faintly as she settled in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An uncomfortable expression crossed her face before she joined the conversation. \"Ahh... Lily... well, she essentially broke up with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked at the blind girl, then realized she couldn’t see the look of questioning surprise on my face. So I said it aloud, \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, yeah, she did,\" Kang added. He had calmed down as well and was now bringing us refreshments on a tray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set a glass of orange juice in front of Alexia, coffee before Ray and himself, and a cup of ice cream before me. Then he settled next to his mistress and crossed one leg over the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared at the ice cream, then back at him. \"Wait, how do you know about my sweet tooth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexia gave me an’are you serious’look. \"Everyone knows about your sweet tooth, Sam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang picked up his coffee and steered us back to the gossip. \"Anyway, it was brutal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyebrow shot up. \"Yeah? What did she say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t know. She just took him outside. We heard her say’time apart,’then there was a lot of mumbling, and he came back looking like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I scowled, glancing back at Michael. Those gloomy blue lines definitely increased in number right then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think they’ll be fine,\" Vince said, joining us. He had also returned from outside, now dressed in a crisp shirt and trousers. \"She just needs some time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where even is she?\" I asked, scanning the room and not finding Lily anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In her own quarters. She’s been cooped up in there ever since waking up yesterday,\" Alexia replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, everyone had been given a private room. Obviously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And considering Juliana was somewhere fixing her makeup, this one was likely hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More importantly, how are you? You woke up today?\" Kang muttered. \"I see the new arm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that Ray realized something was off. He lifted his head from my shoulder, blinking through his tears as his gaze drifted downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, andveryhesitantly, his eyes landed on my right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a long and awkward pause. Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sam,\" he said, his voice dropping to a suspicious, horrified whisper. \"Why do you have six fingers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang froze whatever he was doing and Alexia tilted her head. Vince paused mid-sip and even Michael stirred a little on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The awkward pause returned until Juliana, from somewhere out of view, casually muttered, \"You’re only noticing that now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>•••\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About everything that had happened since I woke up this morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okay, just to be clear, I didn’t mention my father sending me toIron Heightnext month to aid my brother in a war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, I refrained from mentioningthatlooming war altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also kept the abilities of my grafted arm to myself. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust them, I just sort of wanted to keep it as an X-factor for me. An ace up my sleeve, you know? And an ace that everyone knew was up your selve would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That still doesn’t explain why you have six fingers,\" Alexia pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I liked the aesthetic,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Show us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please! Just let us see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t even see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Kang and Ray gasped in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa! Why are you so heartless, Sam?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow. You’re really going to break the poor girl’s heart? Come here, Lady Alexia, I’ll help you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took several minutes to steer the conversation toward something actually useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant that we eventually began discussing the state of the world — politics and global affairs. It was always a fun topic to bring among friends, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Well, not when your friend group was as diverse as ours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexia was from the West, so she was fiercely supportive of my family’s move. There had always been deep-seated discord between the Southern and Western Safe-Zones, and she saw the Theosbane aggression as a necessary check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of the Southern Safe-Zone, Vince, who was from there, naturally held opposing views.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was genuinely surprised at how easily the Free Tribes had agreed to the Southern Prince’s offer, especially considering the bloody history between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ray, the secret bastard son of an Eastern Duke (a fact that only I knew at this table), was against both the Southern Prince’s use of underhanded tactics to absorb the Coalition into his Safe-Zone and my family’s mindless response to the provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was Kang, who had some... veryquestionableideologies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just saying,\" he said, leaning back with a thoughtful look, \"if everyone were a little more honest and stoppedcheating, the world would be a much nicer place. Isn’t that right, Vince?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ray immediately snapped his head toward him, coming to the defense of his best friend. \"Bro, you literally just tried to kill him over a dice game! You have zero moral high ground here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s about principles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Principles? Your only principle is violence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually,\" Kang lifted a finger, adjusting his imaginary glasses, \"my principle is fairness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alexia tilted her head slightly. \"Those two aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are if you’re losing,\" Kang muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ray pointed at him in anahamoment. \"See? That’s exactly my point!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1704,"2026-05-30T12:03:22.768Z","2026-06-01T04:31:10.979Z",1,"novelbin.me","10f46252c50925e5a2e2d239265bbbac47e0725c7ecd3f7773458e5deacd1cf8","young-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-chapter-394","young-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-chapter-392",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyoung-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-cover.jpg"]
