I closed the door and sat at my desk, staring at the letter.


    The **Eclipse seal** was unmistakable—the same symbol used by the **Seven Demonic Generals**, the organization trying to bring forth the Demon Lord.


    *So they’re reaching out to me already?*


    In the game’s original story, Lucian never got this kind of invitation. **Masaka** is it because of my villainous presence.


    This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.


    **Joking**, it was obvious for the story to follow this cliche.


    I carefully opened the letter.


    **[To Lucian von Kaiser,]**


    **We have been observing you. Your actions today prove that you are no longer the failure they claim you to be.**


    **You are one of us. You belong with the strong.**


    **If you wish to seize true power, meet us in the abandoned clock tower at midnight.**


    **


    Come alone.**


    **Eclipse**


    A slow grin formed on my lips.


    They thought I’d actually join them?


    Fools.


    But this… this was **an opportunity.**


    **"Alright then, Eclipse. Let’s play.


    "**
