The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

[Magic Mirror]

This was today's theme for the public combat assessment.

Although some students were puzzled by this theme, most knew that this assessment named [Magic Mirror] must have been meticulously designed by Professor Viktor.

When Viktor creates something, it's bound to be exceptional.

In the academy's most magnificent lecture hall, curious and excited new students arrived one after another to participate in the Royal Magic Academy's first magic assessment of the year.

More notably, this was a public assessment.

This meant that not only students but also parents could enter the lecture hall and witness the true content of this combat assessment under their watchful eyes.

However, what was most shocking was that the Empire's Queen - Claudia herself had graced the Magic Academy with her presence.

She wore an elegant dress adorned with golden decorations that perfectly accentuated her figure, holding a fan delicately over her lips, emanating an inviolable royal aura.

Numerous media representatives with various magic recording stones crowded among the audience, competing to capture this moment.

Did the Queen's presence indicate that the royal family held extremely high expectations for Professor Viktor's assessment?

Just then, a misty smoke rose in the lecture hall.

Everyone's eyes followed the smoke as it gradually took human form, first forming a black coat.

Then, beneath the coat, Viktor 'came to life'.

He stood there distinctly in his black coat, his expression serene.

As soon as Viktor appeared, the lecture hall fell silent, all sounds dissolving like melting ice.

"I am Viktor Kravina, Chief Professor of the Royal Magic Academy."

"And today, I will announce the official establishment of the Instance."

He concluded:

"This Instance was jointly designed by myself and my teaching assistant."

As his words fell, Cocotte gradually floated over sitting on a white cloud, maintaining her usual appearance of being exhausted to the point of despair even in front of the crowd.

Rachel, who had been sitting contentedly in front, nearly spat out the water she had just sipped when she saw who arrived.

Cocotte!?

Looking at the elf who was nearly falling asleep on the cloud, Rachel pushed up her glasses and examined her curiously.

What was going on? How did Cocotte become Viktor's teaching assistant?

Viktor had indeed applied for a new teaching assistant and told her he had someone in mind.

Rachel had approved it accordingly.

But she truly couldn't have imagined this.

How did Viktor, a current council member, convince a former council member to be his assistant?

Especially someone as notoriously lazy as Cocotte?

Rachel watched as Cocotte's eyes kept fighting to stay open, her face devoid of any smile, with even a hint of melancholy between her brows, leaving her completely astounded.

Her body swayed unsteadily on the cloud as if about to collapse completely, and if it weren't for the visible thread pulling her from behind, she would have probably been completely sprawled out on the cloud by now.

The forcibly activated Cocotte struggled to keep her eyes open, hazily looking at the audience below.

She spotted Rachel in the front row and was about to instinctively wave hello, but a wave of drowsiness swept over her brain.

Cocotte tried to raise her hand, but her sleep-addled brain told her that by the time she had this thought, she had already said hello.

Seeing Cocotte in such a drowsy state, Rachel seemed to understand something and chuckled while stroking his beard.

Viktor lowered his hand, and the lecture hall fell silent once again.

He snapped his fingers.

The platform rumbled, and a giant mirror slowly rose up.

"This is today's assessment."

The massive mirror surface reflected rainbow-colored light under the sunlight.

Viktor looked at the fully activated magic mirror and spread his arms to the crowd:

"Get ready."

"Don't blink."

The moment these words fell, the demon eyes at the top of the magic mirror suddenly opened.

Two beams of purple light burst through the darkness like magical rays.

The giant mirror began to gradually shatter, its countless fragments spinning around the frame like stars twinkling in the night sky.

The deep night-like blackness didn't dissipate; instead, to everyone's shock, it slowly spread throughout the entire mirror frame.

The black void, like a massive vortex, devoured the sky, completely consumed by darkness.

The world seemed to lose all its colors, with both sky and earth disappearing into pitch blackness, as if falling into endless void.

In this empty darkness, a mysterious purple began to spread.

The boundless purple was like a giant monster, absorbing everyone into it.

The next moment, the black curtain began to break, and the originally dark world seemed to welcome dawn, with everything reappearing before everyone's eyes.

However, what appeared before them was completely different from their previous expectations.

The world before them was like a magical puzzle, composed of countless different scenes combined together, chaotic and absurd.

The originally static sun seemed like an imprisoned giant, half-merged with the curved crescent moon, forming an eerie smile hanging in the sky.

This made everyone draw in a sharp breath.

Cracks appeared between the spaces, and the entire world was like shattered glass, countless broken lines barely connected, splitting apart the entire earth and sky.

Stars and clouds mixed under the grey sky, with fissures tearing straight through the grey from the ground.

The earth beneath people's feet began to twist.

While this was clearly a flat grassland, on the other side of the broken ground were rugged mountain paths and bottomless valleys.

Fierce winds rose from the valley floor, sweeping across the verdant grassland, drifting towards a land where flames burned amidst thunder.

In the blink of an eye, all of this shattered again.

These phenomena left everyone stunned - all students and professors stood petrified, mouths agape, unable to utter a word.

Even Rachel narrowed her eyes, surveying the extreme environments around them, stroking his beard while waves of amazement stirred in his heart.

This space was truly too bizarre.

This definitely wasn't an illusion that a simple fourth-tier mage could create.

Before everyone's eyes, the surrounding world began to spin rapidly like a vortex, the bizarre sky gradually merging into one, while the ground beneath their feet started to extend, crossing over the cracks and stitching together.

As if standing at the edge where dreams and reality intertwined, the entire world suddenly surged like an ocean.

In the blink of an eye, a city rose from the ground in this space.

This transformation left the crowd even more astounded.

Within this prosperous city, various demi-humans, elves, and humans bustled about the streets.

They greeted each other kindly, wearing friendly smiles.

Various shops and vendors lined both sides of the broad streets, with calls of hawkers filling the air.

Children played happily on the roads, and passersby watched with joy, showing no signs of annoyance.

Everyone who had crossed over felt as if they had arrived in another country, another city.

As if they could live freely here forever.

This scene reminded some people of the amazing Instance they had experienced during Viktor's public lecture.

That world seemed more like one created by Viktor to demonstrate his powerful abilities.

At that time, the world consisted only of a blazing sun, lush forests, and numerous magical elements combined together.

But now, the world they were in felt more real.

So much so that these people who had crossed over couldn't distinguish whether they were in reality or in an illusion.

Claudia stood in the middle of the street when a carriage came around the corner, heading straight towards her.

A guard happened to turn his head and saw the approaching carriage, immediately crying out:

"Your Majesty, watch out!"

He lunged forward, trying to stop the carriage.

But the carriage continued driving forward on its own, with the cat-girl driver smiling and looking ahead, gently stroking the horse and urging it forward, as if she had never seen Claudia standing in the middle of the street.

Finally, the carriage passed through Claudia's body.

It felt like a gentle breeze passing through her body, with a special gravity pulling through her.

At this moment, everyone's eyes widened in shock.

What just happened with that carriage?

It was as if it had passed through a ghost!

Claudia raised her hand, feeling the air flow and gentle breeze around her, and she clearly sensed that the surrounding world, as well as herself, existed in reality.

The Queen raised her hand, feeling the movement of the surrounding air and the blowing breeze.

She could clearly feel that the surrounding world was indeed real.

She was in a world that felt as real as reality,

But the bustling people on the street seemed to have never seen her, completely indifferent to their existence.

They couldn't even touch them or cause any impact on them.

Experiencing this scene before her, Claudia couldn't help but ask:

"What's going on with those people...?"
