The Creator Is Still Playing the Villain Today

Jiang Yuyun was the last Creator in the world.

After creating this world according to the handbook left by his predecessors, he looked at its mountains and rivers, birds and beasts, the angels of the City of Holy Light, the merfolk of the deep sea, and all kinds of adorable races, and was very pleased.

But he never imagined that one day he'd suddenly realize the world couldn't do without villains.

He worried himself bald.

He searched the Creator's Handbook from cover to cover, but couldn't find a single design idea for a villain.

With no other choice, he had to do it himself.

-

On a dark and windy night, Jiang Yuyun sneaked into the City of Holy Light and made off with all the pastries. Standing on the city wall, he raised the tip of his tail and did his best to look menacing.

"I am the Great Demon King! You have all been conquered!"

He braced himself to be mobbed, to fight a bloody battle, and to make a glorious exit.

But the angels merely froze for a moment.

The next second, that pure and beautiful Archangel hurried over and carefully cradled the tip of his tail. "Your Majesty, why did you come to get them yourself? You only had to send word, and we'd have delivered them right away!"

The other angels rushed over one after another.

"Your Majesty, try this strawberry tart. I made it myself!"

"Your Majesty, your tail is so cute. Can I touch it...?"

"Your Majesty, are you tired? Let me massage your shoulders."

Jiang Yuyun's eyes went wide.

This wasn't how the story was supposed to go!

Taking advantage of his conscience being elsewhere, he went to assassinate the Archangel. But the moment he slipped into the bedchamber, he found the silver-haired Archangel kneeling in the moonlight. When he saw Jiang Yuyun enter, he slowly slipped off his robe, revealing his delicate collarbones, then tilted his head back and said softly:

"Your Majesty, can't you sleep? I'd be happy to warm your bed."

Jiang Yuyun: "..."

He refused to believe it.

-

The merfolk of the deep sea were far too carefree, so Jiang Yuyun rolled up his sleeves and made a dazzling entrance.

Standing at the bow of a ship, he cast a giant net and revealed his evil, profit-driven nature, enunciating every word:

"Fish them all out and boil them for soup!"

As soon as the net hit the water, the merfolk went wild.

"Your Majesty, catch me! My meat is tender!"

"Nonsense! My soup will taste better!"

"Stop arguing. I'm willing to sacrifice myself for my master!"

In the end, the merfolk started fighting among themselves. The victor swam to Jiang Yuyun's feet, swept aside his dreamlike gauzy robes to reveal a dazzlingly pale waist, and cast him a sidelong glance.

"Your Majesty, would I be more enjoyable to eat?"

Jiang Yuyun stared at him, his carving knife trembling in his hand.

"I'm a villain," he gritted out. "The kind who'll bully you all until you cry!"

The merfolk's eyes lit up. "Really? How would you like to bully me? I'll play along..."

Jiang Yuyun: "..."

#Being a villain is so hard QAQ

Jiang Yuyun threw down his carving knife and stormed off in tears, curling up in his room as he silently flipped through the Creator's Handbook.

-

One day, as Jiang Yuyun was hiding away as usual, he suddenly felt the world shake as cries rang out around him.

"Please, become a villain! Without villains, the world has no motivation to improve!"

Jiang Yuyun: ?

He poked his head out and saw mountains splitting apart, seawater surging inland, angels panicking, and merfolk sobbing so hard they could barely breathe.

"Your Majesty, please come destroy us! We beg you!"

Jiang Yuyun was silent for a few seconds.

Before long, he stood in the center of the world again, hands on his hips, showing off his fierce villainous face.

"I am Garus Jiang Yuyun, the greatest Demon King and villain! Starting today, I will destroy you all!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the world instantly grew calm.

The angels all breathed a sigh of relief, and the merfolk smiled happily.

The Archangel gently offered him freshly baked pastries. "You've worked hard, Your Majesty. How about having something to eat before you destroy the world?"

Jiang Yuyun: "..."

#Damn it! I knew you were all lying to me!
