The Villain Refuses to be Corn Snake!

Chapter 19- Andreas Past Pt.1

Otis remembered something he did not want. The memories of his past made him what he is. He clearly remembered the hundred years that had passed.

Black smoke rises to the air. The sound of women and children screaming in horror resounded. The grunts of men fighting joined. It was the scene of a village under attack. The men with their deadliest farm tools fought the invaders wearing full armor. It was clear the invaders are soldiers of a lord due to their equipment.

One of the houses, a young and read with his older sister and younger brother, hid under the bed. However, their mother told them to run away when their father broke the door of their house. Blood drenched the clothes of their father.

“Honey, take the kids. Guaah!" A sword pierced their father from behind. However, he immediately turned around and retaliated with his sickle. But before he could even swing his weapon. More soldiers came and stabbed him with their swords in every direction.

Their mother pulled them out under the bed and rushed toward the door. They successfully exit the house. However, an arrow pierces their mother in her leg, causing her to fall to the ground.

Andreas (Otis) older sister rushes back to her mother. But their mother yelled, “forget about me! Take Andreas and Andrew far away from this village."

But a soldier reached their mother and stabbed her in the back. The children witness the death of their mother with their own two eyes. Andrew, the youngest brother, cried seeing their mother die.

The sister immediately rushes back to her siblings. Pulling them with her, they run as fast as they could—however, a soldier with malicious intentions caught up. It was clear his target was Andreas (Otis), his older sister. The soldier jump, catching the older sister. Andreas stops in his tracks seeing his sister pinned by the soldier to the ground.

He grabbed a rock and threw it. But before he could launch the rock, a soldier swung his sword, which cut Andreas' arm. Andreas was unable to react as he saw his arm fall. Then he realized what had happened, “aaaaah!" Andreas screamed in pain.

However, it was not the only thing he witnesses. He saw his sister surrounded by the soldiers. These men ripped the clothes of his sister, and they laughed as they did this. Then one of the soldiers removes his armor and lays on top of Andreas's sister.

“Noooo! Someone Help!" Yelled Andreas's sister.

“It's useless now, little girl. No one is here to help you. You are now our plaything, and you're going to appreciate what we will do to you."

The soldier grabbed something in his groin then pushed his hips. It leads Andreas's sister to scream in pain. Andreas rushed to his sister with only one arm. However, before he could reach his sister, he heard a scream from behind. That scream caused him to stop in his charge. He turned around and saw his brother stabbed by another soldier.

Andreas's sight turned red, his blood boiled. His breath became heavy. He wanted to scream. However, a soldier stabbed him from behind, which leads him to fall to the ground. There he saw his sister violated by the soldiers. It was the last scene he saw before his sight went utterly dark—the screams of a woman and children crying haunted Andreas even in his block-out state. Andreas accepted that he would die today, and it will be just a few hours before he will escape from the

The pain he felt.

But hours passed, Andreas still opens his eyes. His naked dead sister greets him. He turned around to the other side and saw his brother, his limbs separated into multiple pieces. Andreas crawled towards his dead brother. He held his brother in his only remaining arm and hugged him tightly.

Tears fell from his eyes. However, his brother still spoke, “brother, is that you?"

“It's me, Andrew, don't worry, big brother is here. Everything is safe now; no one will hurt you anymore."

“Big brother, a bad man, cut my arms and legs. I cried, but he did not stop. It was painful."

“Everything is fine now, Andrew. Those men are gone now. We are safe now, so don't worry about anything anymore."

“Brother, I feel cold. Can you hug me tighter?"

Andreas hugs his brother tightly as tears fall from his eyes. The body of his little brother that he held. However, his suffering was far from over. A soldier cleaning up the strugglers notices Andreas. He called his comrades and headed in Andreas's direction.

“Looks like there some survivor." A soldier spoke as he gazes at Andreas, who was hugging the cold body of his little brother.

“I think we leave that kid alone; he didn't last any longer with that kind of injury." Another soldier spoke.

“Nah, it's better to kill him to keep it safe. We don't want anyone surviving to tell our voyeurs here." The previous soldier said. This soldier pulled his sword from his sheath and raised it above the sky.

The soldier aimed the sword at Andreas's neck. Andreas did not care and only focused on his deaf brother.

“Nighty night!" The soldiers swing his sword downward. However, something strange happened. Out of nowhere, the soldier who was about to behead Andreas suddenly had his arms separate from his body. Without any explanation.

Blood gushed out of the soldier's arms, making Andreas below him shower in it. The other soldier who witnessed this watched in horror. But a tall silhouette blocks the sun above the uninjured soldier, prompting him to look behind.

When the soldier turns around, he saw a figure with a height of seven feet, wearing a dark jet black cloak. The soldier froze and was completely pale as if he had seen the terrifying scene of his life.

“Y-you are, but why? Someone like you, what the hell is going on.”

This tall figure grabbed the soldier's head and crushed his skull with utter brute force. The soldier who got his arms cut off was still screaming. The tall silhouette walks forward and swings his hand like it was a sword towards the neck of the panicking soldier.

The soldier's head fell to the ground from that attack. Then an ominous voice spoke, “humans are still annoying and cowardly as ever. They still attack the weak and run away from the strong. Such a tragic scene, or they are just stupid.”

However, this mysterious man saw Andreas crying while holding a dead body. “A survivor, no, he might die in a few hours."

This tall figure walked towards the child, holding a dead body. Andreas gazed at this mysterious figure. He gazes up to see who was this mysterious person. Andreas did not saw a person's face as Andreas stared at the silhouette standing before him. What he saw was a skeleton looking at him with its purple ominous glowing eyes.

Andreas asked this skeleton human, “are you here to end my suffering. Are you who they call Death, the one who ends people suffering in this cursed world?"

“No, I am not that guy." The skeleton replied.

“Oh, I see, then you should not stay any longer here," Andreas replied with his soulless eyes.

This skeleton figure notices this, but he saw something else in Andreas's eyes. It was something he had never seen before. Whatever the skeleton figure saw, it piqued his interest. Due to this, the skeleton said something unusual.

“Hey kid, wanna come with me?"
