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.

  If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

  **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.

  "**
