Villain Hiring: Help! Author Wants Me Dead

Chapter 149: Godly Forbidden Arts?



The second I hit "Enter" after typing Sia Daffneer, a list of locked documents unfolded before my eyes.

But these weren't the usual "bloodline data" or "mana affinity analysis" type of reports I expected.

No. The first few made me blink in disbelief.

[Sia Daffneer's favourite night suits to wear before going to sleep.]

Okay…weird start.

I scrolled down.

[Secret diary entries from her teenage years – Rated 18+]

My eyebrows twitched.

[Forbidden Fantasy: What kind of partner Sia Daffneer dreams about during full moons?]

"HUH—?" I choked.

Next up:

[Sia's bath routine as recorded by automated drone #7. WARNING: NSFW footage.]

[Top 10 phrases she mumbles in her sleep and their psychological breakdown.]

[A Comprehensive Report on the Colour and Brand of Her Underwear – Updated Monthlyl.]

My eyes widened as the tip of my nose tingled.

"Wait. No—NO—"

And then I saw it.

The one that did me in.

[Full Hypothetical Simulation: What Would Happen If You Kissed Sia Daffneer for Exactly 13 Seconds?]

Blood exploded from my nose like a damn anime character.

I stumbled back, clutching my face, trying not to scream as I feared Pixie would catch me red handed as if I was doing a crime.

'WHO THE HELL WROTE THIS STUFF?!?' Unable to come out of what I had just seen...or read.

Damien's voice boomed in my head like thunder cracking through a church.

'ARE YOU STUPID?!' YOU'RE BLEEDING FROM YOUR NOSE OVER TITLES?! FILTER THE DAMN SEARCH, YOU FOOL!'

I practically face-planted into the tablet again, groaning. "Why does this even exist?! Why do people buy this? What kind of perverted stalker database is this?!"

'YOU'RE the one who typed her name in without a filter! Left-side icon—click "Combat-Relevant" and "Latest Updates." You degenerate.'

Grumbling, embarrassed, and still wiping blood off my upper lip, I followed the instructions and toggled the filters on the left sidebar.

The entire list shifted in front of me with a beep. The pervy trash disappeared, replaced by military-level intelligence folders, psychological evaluations, energy fluctuation reports, and… something else.

One file in particular caught both mine and Damien's attention instantly.

[Sia Daffneer– Current Mental State Fluctuation Detected.

Classification: RED (High-Risk Evolution Event Approaching)]

The title blinked slowly in red font.

My playful expression vanished in an instant.

Even Damien was quiet for a moment before speaking again, this time in a calm, calculating voice.

'Click that one. Now.'

I didn't need to be told twice.

My finger hovered over the price tag—70,000 Credits.

Painful.

But necessary.

'Thank god I had scammed grandpa with his money and bought a lot of land ownerships to exchange for credits, otherwise I would never have been able to afford and complete this secret mission', I thought, relieved.

I hesitated just for a second before adding my system details to conduct the transaction.

A notification appeared.

[Confirm Purchase?]

I pressed Yes.

A soft chime echoed through the tablet, and a message appeared:

Processing...

After a few seconds, the documents loaded, their text appearing in a clean, structured format.

"Let's find out what's really going on with this Princess."

Classification: RED (High-Risk Evolution Event Approaching)

Unlocked by: [User ID: Noah D. Romero]

Transaction ID: 0143289-XX-RED-PRIO

Status: CONFIRMED

CONFIDENTIALITY LEVEL: Platinum Tier

***

Subject Name: Sia Daffneer

Age: 18

Lineage: Daffneer Royal Line, Fallen Kingdom of Jade.

Last Confirmed Location: Untraceable – energy signature scrambled via divine encryption.

Primary Concern: Psychological instability, rapid power scaling, and potential divine-level mutation.

[Background Synopsis – Post-Descent Collapse]:

Following the celebration of King Philip Daffneer's 52nd birthday, the descent of the Gods totally shook Jade Kingdom's geopolitical stronghold.

Despite their preparation and centuries-old treaties, the Daffneer family suffered catastrophic betrayal from within the kingdom and continued to erode due to external forces turning their blades against the crown.

Assets Lost:

63% of ancestral mana vaults raided.

41 royal bloodline artefacts stolen or destroyed.

The legendary Jade Throne, believed to possess the spirit of their first king, was destroyed during the final rebellion.

In just under 72 hours, the Daffneer lineage found itself stripped down to three surviving core members:

King Philip Daffneer (wounded, public image fractured)

Princess Sia Daffneer (uninjured, but emotionally unstable)

Prince Azazel Daffneer (youngest, unknown potential)

Even though Azazel Daffneer had become a rising force in the post-Descent world, he did not have the necessary strength to pull their family as one of the 7 Commandments again.

***

I frowned at why they were talking about Azazel, the guy who's supposed to kill me when I had paid for his sister's information but Damien nudged me from the side.

"Wait—this is getting good. Keep going."

***

While her siblings and father chose traditional power recovery routes, Sia Daffneer's change was…completely different.

A major shift in her psychological profile was detected exactly three days after the Divine Descent, when she was chosen by a Top-Tier Divinity.

Though the name was initially obscured, the after-effects were overwhelming to the girl's strength.

Her tattoo-like glyphs had even began appearing across her spine—matching divine hieroglyphs not seen since the Lost Ages!

Psych evaluation indicates that her detachment from emotions—once a coping mechanism—has begun transitioning into strategic emotional suppression, making her a high-functioning cold-blooded tactician.

[Family Dynamics – Hidden Trauma Detected]:

The biggest psychological crack in Sia's armor came from a secret she uncovered two weeks after her divine contract was formed:

Her mother, Queen Lyriena Daffneer, did not die of illness…She was assassinated.

Autopsy logs falsified by palace physicians under King Philip's orders had hidden a distinct curse residue in the Queen's body, traceable only through god-level detection spells.

It is believed this was done to "protect" Sia from the truth during her adolescence.

***

"...He lied to her about her own mother's murder? What the hell?"

"Now you get why she's acting different. That kind of betrayal doesn't fade."

Ever since this discovery, Sia has grown more ruthless, sometimes even borderline violent, in her decision-making.

Her coldness is no longer a mask—it is now her preferred state of being.

She has also started distancing herself from her father and brother, choosing to act independently and without explanation.

[Current Strength & Power Assessment]:

Due to the influence of her an Origin level God and recent emotional isolation, it is estimated that:

Sia Daffneer is now in the Top 1% of awakened individuals under the age of 20.

Her affinity no longer classifies under traditional and simple forbidden arts as her magic has entered the realm of "Godly Forbidden Arts."

Combat simulations predict a 50% success rate in defeating even beasts of Tier-5 singlehandedly.

Signs of favoritism from her Chosen God continue to appear.

Damien's blue ball of mass almost blobbed inside my head as he continued with a weird tone.

"Let me break that down for you, she's not just overpowered.

She's cracked.

She's glitching reality just by existing…" My hands holding the obsidian tablet couldn't help but tremble as I thought how people even had the audacity to stalk on her or even think lewdly about her when she could one shot king level figures.

"...and I'm supposed to beat that?" I asked Damien.

The sentient system hummed as he said, "There is still time before the Champions Trophy begins, and if you play the cards right and go all out against her…then winning could actually be a reality—"

While he said that, both me and Damien was confused as the document suddenly disappeared and a buffering sign appeared on the black screen.

It was barely a few moments before texts started appearing on the screen again but what I saw next almost made my teeth fall off my mouth.
