Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

"I would love to." Lucas answered. Zorian's blessing was already something he planned on learning, anyway. If Isaac planned on helping Lucas, then that would be perfect.

"Alright. Could you stay a night here?" Isaac asked him, looking a bit relieved.

"Sure." Lucas nodded eagerly. 'If I learn Zorian's blessing, I can improve my strength to the extremes.' He thought to himself.

"Great! Let's go to your room and talk about it." Isaac stood up. "I'll have a maid prepare your room!"

"Okay!" Lucas stood up as well and followed Lilith's father to the hall.

After some time, a maid entered the dining room. "Miss Lilith, master Isaac is asking for you in his study."

"Okay!" Lilith said with a smile.

Sarah gave Lilith a quick glance. "What's going on?"

"Uh... I do not know." Lilith awkwardly scratched the back of her head. "He mentioned something about teaching him a skill."

​ "But Lucas is powerless... He won't be able to learn it." Sarah raised her brows.

"Well, my dad is... A healer..." Lilith said with a grin. "He might help Lucas."

Sarah's eyes widened. "A healer? There might be a way to help Lucas?!"

"We'll talk later. Let's not bother them for now." Lilith said with a sigh. Lilith understood her father knows about Lucas being an angel. 'Maybe he want's giving Lucas a way to pretend that he just regained magic.' Lilith thought to herself.

Sarah was confused. "But is that possible? I mean... How can a healer help someone who doesn't have magic?"

"I do not know either." Lilith shrugged helplessly. "We'll just have to wait and see."

While Lilith and Sarah were talking, Lucas and Isaac walked into the study.

"Thanks for coming, Lucas." Isaac said with a gentle smile.

"Thank you for inviting me, Isaac." Lucas returned the smile. "Although I have no clue what's going on."

"There's no need to worry." Isaac reassured him. "I just want to have a talk with you."

"About...?"

"Hm... Well, I guess that would depend on you." Isaac chuckled. "I just wanted to ask you about your past life."

"Past life?" Lucas's eyes widened in surprise. 'Whoa, this guy isn't messing around.'

"Yes." Isaac nodded. "I want to know more about you. You seem like a nice boy. But I find you seem dangerous; you are an angel after all."

Lucas's past life story was not something he wanted to tell a god. He didn't know how Isaac would react to a killer. A vigilante who killed murderers even before becoming an angel. So he kept quiet and stared at the wall in front of him.

"Come on, Lucas." Isaac said. "Tell me about yourself. Your past and present life."

"Hm..." Lucas gazed at Isaac. 'This is not good.' He thought to himself.

"Well..." Lucas started with a deep breath. "I was born in a village in... uh... Europe. I used to hunt... Animals. That was a nice stress relief." Lucas muttered, thinking that calling heinous bastards 'Animals' was fitting for his story.

"Interesting." Isaac grinned. "Did you ever get into fights with humans?"

"Yeah..." Lucas answered. 'Does he know? Does he know I killed people in my past life?' Lucas thought to himself with a shiver. "I killed a few people."

"Hm..." Isaac tilted his head with curiosity. "How did you feel when you killed them?"

"I, uh..." Lucas stuttered. Whenever he was on a murderous rampage, he was not feeling like himself. Lilith's image that constantly haunted him forced him into slight insanity. "I was not myself during those times." Lucas muttered.

"Have you hallucinated at times like those? Maybe... A childhood friend of yours?" Isaac asked with a curious expression. He knew that Lilith kept watching him over, and was a little worried if it was Lilith who turned Lucas into a murderer. If it was her actions that awakened an angel within Lucas. "It's something I want to ask, because I know that you're an angel. I also know that Red Dragon told about what you are."

"Yes. Yes, I saw hallucinations." Lucas nodded. He was a little shocked about how informed Isaac was, especially because this happened in a world with no magic or Isaac's influence. 'Or could it be that Isaac simply abandoned that world?' Lucas pondered.

"I see..." Isaac turned his gaze away from Lucas and gritted his teeth. "Just as I thought." He now knew that it was Lilith's fault for stalking Lucas in his past life. Isaac sighed and helped Lucas with his magic, learning as an indirect apology.

"If you want to learn magic, come to me. I will teach you everything I know about human magic." Isaac offered.

"Thank you." Lucas said with a grateful smile.

"And, Lucas..." Isaac stopped and looked directly at Lucas. "Don't let your inner angel control you."

"Huh?" Lucas blinked. "What?"

"When you get angry, try to calm down and think before you act." Isaac warned him. "That's the only way you can keep yourself safe."

Lucas thought about it for a moment and asked Isaac what angels were. What was his part on the Lightburn planet?

"Mister Gold, could you explain what angels are?" Lucas bowed his head.

"Are you sure about this?." Isaac awkwardly smiled back at Lucas. "Some things better left unanswered."

"Please..." Lucas begged. He felt like this was something that he needed to know. 'I must know if my actions in previous life were because I was an angel... Or my actions in the previous world turned me into an angel.'

"Alright..." Isaac shrugged. "An angel is a creature with a higher power than a human. Higher intelligence, higher strength, and more longevity. However..."

"Yes?" Lucas asked with a confused expression. So far, what Isaac said was nothing bad.

"There is a limit to their mentality." Isaac continued. "The universe created angels like an antivirus of this universe. Their sole purpose was to clean mistakes gods made."

Lucas did not expect this answer. He stared at Isaac with a confused expression on his face. "C-Created?"

"Angels are like artificial intelligence." Isaac explained. "They exist in order to cure humanity of their mistakes by wiping out the humans who committed those errors."

"Is that why... Uh..." Lucas trailed off. "No." Lucas shook his head, as he had a better question. "Were I am angel in my previous life?"

Isaac stared at him with a bitter expression and answered.

"Yes."

Lucas was born as a human, however, his spirit was that of an angel. Luckily for earth, Lucas died before his wings manifested and gave him his magical abilities in a world with no magic.

Isaac noticed Lucas's shocked expression and placed a hand on his shoulder. "But don't forget, even as an angel... You still have emotions of a human." Isaac smiled at the boy and patted him on his shoulder. "This was why I didn't want to tell you this; I know you might overthink your life."

Lucas smiled at Lilith's father and thanked him. "It's alright. I am grateful." Lucas smiled in relief.

"Why is Lilith taking so long? I called for her twenty minutes ago!" Isaac changed the subject. "Where is that girl?"
