Chapter 970: Players Petition
Villain Ch 970. Players Petition
"Exactly!" the tank agreed, his enthusiasm infectious. "And it’s not just that he’s powerful. He’s got this whole crew with him, and they’re all just as deadly. They’re the ultimate squad, and he’s the one leading them. It’s hard not to admire that kind of leadership, even if he is supposed to be the bad guy."
"I agree," the archer chimed in, her tone thoughtful. She adjusted the strap of her quiver, eyes distant as if imagining the power that Allen and his companions wielded. "There’s something really compelling about someone who can command that kind of loyalty and fear. It’s not just about being evil; it’s about being... well, unforgettable."
"Oh right, I guess you guys heard about that petition?" another player, a mage with a staff almost as tall as she was, interjected suddenly, her eyes lighting up as she joined the conversation.

"Petition?" the rogue asked, tilting his head in curiosity.
"Yeah, I heard about it," the archer said, her grin widening. "I also signed it!"
"What?!" the tank exclaimed, looking between them with a mixture of surprise and confusion. "Wait, you actually signed it? What even is this petition?"
The rogue frowned. "Hold up, what are you guys talking about? What petition?"
The mage leaned in, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Some of the players, mostly the girls, are trying to get the game devs to make the Devil Emperor a romanceable character."
The healer nudged her and pouted. "Shut up," she said in embarrassment.
"Well---" The archer just shrugged, her grin widening. "That’s what makes it fun. He’s a challenge. And besides, in a world like this, who wants to go for the typical good guy? It’s the bad boys who are more interesting, who’ve got layers. There’s something about that danger and power that’s just... irresistible."
Allen’s jaw almost dropped. ’THIS IS SO MESSED UP!’ he screamed internally, trying to maintain his composure as he listened to the conversation. It was one thing to hear that players admired him for his power and feared him as the ultimate villain, but to hear that they actually wanted to ’romance’ him? That was a whole new level of bizarre.
He had built his reputation in the game as the most formidable, terrifying force, the Devil Emperor who ruled with an iron fist—and now people wanted to turn him into some kind of romantic interest?
The mage nodded, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "Exactly! It’s like those stories where the heroine falls for the villain. There’s always that question of whether he’ll stay evil or change because of her. It’s dramatic, it’s intense, and it’s way more interesting than just another hero saving the day."
Allen, still reeling from what he’d overheard, decided he needed to dig deeper. He couldn’t let this bizarre turn of events slip by without getting some answers. With a steadying breath, he approached the group. He kept his voice casual, blending seamlessly into the ongoing conversation as he spoke.
"Hey, I overheard you guys talking about that petition," Allen said, his tone curious and slightly conspiratorial. "I’ve been pretty active on the forums, but I haven’t seen anything about it. Where’s this petition you’re all talking about?"
The group turned to look at him, a mix of surprise and intrigue in their expressions. The archer was the first to respond, her eyes narrowing slightly as she sized him up. "You won’t find it on the official forums," she said, leaning in a bit closer as if to keep the conversation private. "It’s in one of the fanbase Discourd servers.
It’s unofficial because, well, not everyone would be on board with the idea. Some players might totally hate it, so we’re keeping it low-key to avoid any unnecessary arguments."
Allen nodded, trying to appear as though he was just another curious player. "Makes sense."
