Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

Meanwhile, in the Holy kingdom, a seventeen-year-old Jacob Lorson sat in the middle of the forest, leaning against the tree.

"Insane." He exclaimed as he extended his hand as if he was holding a weapon. The next moment, a holy sword appeared in his hand.

"After all these years of being deemed a cripple..." he muttered as he swung the weapon while still sitting on the grass. The weapon released a blast of energy, which cut the nearby trees into thousands of pieces. "The sun has finally risen... I can feel it! The power!"

Suddenly, a shadow shot past him, only to land right beside him. It seemed like it had been teleported there. Araniel watched over him with a smile on her face. She knew that the kid had just become a hero, but she wasn't worried. As long as the world continues treating him as it did, Jacob will become a perfect soldier for Lucifer. Araniel smiled at him and then vanished back into thin air.

Jacob stood up as he swung his weapon once more, this time creating a wind blast. "I am no longer powerless!" He yelled out loud; he could feel the weapon enhancing his body's strength.

He continued swinging, testing out his newfound powers leaving half of the forest in ruins.

"Haha!" He laughed, his mind filled with joy. At last, after almost three decades, he finally got what he wanted. "Finally..."

However, his excitement was interrupted by a phone call. He picked up the phone from his pocket to see a familiar name, "Anna." He smiled and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Anna. What's up?" he exclaimed happily.

"H-Hey... I need to talk to you about something." Anna said, her tone making Jacob concerned.

"What is it? Has something happened?" he asked.

"No... No, nothing is wrong," Anna replied nervously.

"Then what is it?" Jacob demanded.

"Well, I was thinking about something... And..." Anna hesitated before continuing. "There's someone I would like you to meet."

Jacob paused for a second. "A new boyfriend?"

"Yes!" Anna sighed with relief.

Jacob reluctantly smiled. "Well, congrats."

Jacob had a crush on Anna since the two of them were kids. However, he knew that Anna was from a powerful family of magicians, so he had never dared to court her.

"When?" He asked.

"Tonight," Anna answered. "At my family's mansion. My parents decided to have a dinner party tonight. You're invited too. At 9 pm."

"Alright, I'll be there." Jacob agreed.

Jacob shrugged and put the phone away. He didn't have any plans for the night, so why not go to the party? While he indeed had a crush on her, he understood that she viewed him as a friend. Anna was there for him; whenever Marz beat him, she would always stop him. She was there for Jacob when he needed help.

Still going to a dinner party hosted by her family? That could be dangerous. After all, Jacob was less than an average human. Before today, he didn't even have magical powers.

"I guess becoming strong won't get me a girl." he chuckled as he gazed at the weapon.

When Jacob closed his eyes and focused on the sword, it disappeared. The sword melted into Jacob's hand, creating a jewel that was attached to his palm.

"Amazing!" he exclaimed as he stared at the jewel.

With a simple thought, he could conjure the blade back into his hand. Then, he began swinging it around again. He felt as if he quickly got the knowledge and experience of fighting. His swings became faster and stronger until, finally, he created a tornado that blew the nearby trees into the sky.

******

Right before the dinner in Flarecrows mansion, Jacob felt nervous. He wore his best suit and had his red hair done in a fancy style. He knocked at the doors and was greeted by Anna, who wore a fancy silver dress. She hugged him before inviting him in.

"You look great," Anna told him as he walked in.

"Thanks," Jacob replied, a little embarrassed.

Jacob noticed Anna's father staring at him from the hall without even blinking.

"Ah! Anna, we are here!" Her mother called out from the dining room.

Anna rushed upstairs to join her parents. Jacob sat down next to Anna, who looked a bit nervous.

"Hello, Jacob." Anna's father, Zerek Flarecrow, said as he sat down at the head table.

"Hello, sir." Jacob replied awkwardly.

Zerek eyed Jacob without interest. He knew that this boy was powerless, and he felt that Anna had a friend like this was an insult to the Flarecrow family. Still, he tried to act nice because Anna was his daughter.

"What's your rank in school?" he asked, knowing well that powerless people couldn't rank up and always sat at the bottom.

"Uh..." Jacob gazed at Anna, who was ignoring the entire conversation and messaging on her phone. He sighed and said. "I am at the bottom."

"Why do you feel like you deserve to be in our house?" Zerek asked.

Jacob froze. "What?"

"I am asking why you think you are worthy enough to sit at the same table as us. " Zerek glared at Jacob.

Jacob looked at Anna, who was still ignoring them.

"Because I'm Anna's friend." He said with a smile. "We've been friends ever since we were kids."

"I see." Zerek replied. "Anna, dear. When is your fiance coming? He's late."

"Oh, he's almost here." Anna replied absentmindedly.

She glanced at Jacob and gave him a small smile.

Soon, a blonde man walking wearing a black tuxedo entered the hall, greeting everyone. He was followed by another man dressed in business attire. They both took their seats next to Zerek.

"My apologies for being late."

When Jacob saw who this man was, he froze. His hands started trembling as he realized that this was the same man who continued tormenting him at school.

"Hey, douche," Markz exclaimed with a smile on his face.

"..." Jacob sat quietly as everyone began a dinner. He gazed at Anna, who gave him an apologetic look, but didn't say anything.

"How long have you two been together?" Zerek asked Markz with a vicious smile on his face, knowing full well about Markz's and Jacob's history.

"Over two years, sir."

Jacob's eyes widened. Two years? So all this time he tormented me, she was with him?

Jacob started rubbing the jewel on his palm with his fingertips. He was furious. After all, Anna was dating a bully? He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts.

"Jacob... I invited you so that two could become friends." She placed her hand gently on Jacob's shoulder.

"You fucking whore..." Jacob exclaimed.

Everyone was stunned and dropped their jaws as no one expected Jacob's response. A silence hung in the air for a few seconds before Anna's father spoke up. "What the fuck did you just say?"

Jacob ignored Zerek and stared at Anna as he exclaimed. "Out of all people, you were fucking this piece of shit? You fucking bitch!"

Anna did not expect Jacob's reaction and stuttered. "H-He is a good guy... If you just get to know him."

Markz created a wind ball on his palm and threw it at Jacob. "What the fuck did you just call her?!"

The wind blast crashed Jacob into the wall, making him hit his head. He leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

Anna's family began laughing, making Jacob even more furious. "You invited me here because you assumed I wouldn't call you out, did you?!" Jacob shouted as he raised his voice.

"Shut up!" Markz yelled back. This time, creating a fireball on his palm. "I will fucking kill you if you insult her one more time!"

Jacob glared at him through tears. "Nice guy, huh?" He felt blood slowly dripping from the back of his head.

"Get him out of the house," Zerek yelled.

"Wait, dad... He's just confused!" Anna exclaimed as she watched butlers walk towards Jacob.

"You don't need friends like this fool." Zerek pointed his finger at Jacob.

"Confused... Yes." He raised his hand up as if he was raising an invisible weapon. "Fool. Yes."

Suddenly, a weapon manifested in Jacob's hand. It was the same holy sword that he had used earlier.

"What is that!" Anna gasped.

"A fool for expecting strong people to be kind." He swung his sword in the air, but for a moment, nothing happened.

"Where did he get this?" Markz suddenly exploded into millions of pieces, with blood splattering all over the walls, floor, and ceiling. There were no limbs present, just a mass of red liquid. The room filled with the sickening scent of iron and death.

Jacob looked at his hands. The sword was now inside his skin. Blood was oozing out of his palms, but he didn't care.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" the women began screaming as they tried running from the room. Anna still stared in horror at the blood pool under what used to be Markz's seat.

"Everyone! Get out!" he exclaimed as he used a space ring to pick up his sword. He jumped towards Jacob, yelling. "So you weren't powerless? Still, you were shitting out our hospitality!"

Jacob didn't give him a chance to attack again as he swung his sword upwards, cutting him into two halves.

Jacob stopped bleeding and let out a sigh. He then turned to Anna. "Sorry, Anna," he said as he raised his weapon into the air. "But you're next."

"J-Jacob, I'm sorry!" She yelled; Anna's desperate expression quickly shifts to a look of shock and horror as she is suddenly engulfed in a blinding light and then disintegrates into millions of pieces, splattering the walls with her blood. The air is filled with the sound of sizzling as her body burns away, leaving behind only a gruesome reminder of what once was.

Jacob looks at the weapon in his hand and can hardly recognize it. His hands tremble uncontrollably, and he points the weapon at his own chest, determined to end it all. He takes a deep breath and stares into the darkness that awaits him, but just as he is about to thrust forward, someone catches the weapon and prevents him from going through with it.

"And why would you want to do that, dear?~" A winged brunette with red glowing eyes asked in a playful tone. She was holding the blade with her bare hands. "You did amazing; nothing to hate yourself for!~"
