The Price of Deception

  The moment I returned to my dorm, my Villain System lit up.

  [Ding!]

  **[Quest Completed:]**

  - You’ve earned interest of Selena Nightshade.

  - You have gained their preliminary trust.

  - Reward: +5% Dark Affinity, New Ability Unlocked.

  **[New Ability: Shadow Veil (Lv.1)]**

  - Allows user to erase presence for 30 seconds.

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  - Can be used once per day.

  I exhaled.

  That ability was going to be **very** useful.

  But now, I had bigger problems.

  I was being **watched.**

  I could feel it.

  From the academy.

  From Eclipse.

  Soon, Even the **Holy Church.**

  *The game has really begun.*

  I needed to keep my next moves **carefully calculated.**

  I opened my system menu, scanning my stats.
