It's been over six years since then. I sit on my throne as heroes come to fight me. Every single one falling to beat my elementals. Do I regret my choice? Not really. It’s fun being a villain. I have come to accept that I will never escape this game world. My friend Jerald has gotten married and has his own son. I am happy for him. For me I don’t think I will marry for love. I will just marry some chick and have an heir.

I don’t know if I could trust my wife if I do this. But I don’t want to not have kids. I have changed many of the laws regarding child care. No more corporal punishment. It will take a few generations for that to take effect but at least it’s illegal to beat kids. I also outlawed slavery because apparently that was a law. I had to outlaw a bunch of different medieval laws. No beating women, forcing them to marry you, and a ton of other laws. Surprisingly the magic laws are the most reasonable. I thought there would be a few loopholes in them but the legalities of magic are pretty clear cut.

I did eventually have my own son with a woman named Janett. I don’t really love this girl but seeing this child… I held him in my arms and I felt love again. It hurts to remember what Erica did to me but… I think loving my son and raising him maybe can help me heal. Make it not so scary to feel at least platonic love. I named him Walter Jerald Lorenz, Jerald was very happy to hear his name was used for the middle name. His son Jonas and Walter get along well enough and I am sure they will be best friends.

The other noble households I aided have flourished with the new polices. While having the title of villain some noble households have tried to take me down with assassins. The three I trust always alert me about them. I believe that we have become friends and I trust them like with Jerald. I have been healing but I know that these wounds on my heart will forever remain. I don’t believe I will ever have a normal relationship with women but that’s okay. Janett seems content with our small chats and the tea dates she insists on.

All in all life is good. Well as good as it could be for a villain. I know one day Tyson will come and take me down but… I kind of look forward to that fight. I won't go down easily. Till then I will enjoy being a father while I can. I thought about naming my son Carter but decided not to. I mean I am not really Carter anymore. That man is either dead or in a coma. Who knows, but I do know I am Andras Kerrim Lorenz and I am the villain.
