We got so used to the fact that the characters of our favorite LitRPGs are as brave as Batman, as smart as Sherlock Holmes, as beautiful as... Well, it’s already superfluous. But what would happen if the main character turned out to be either Professor Moriarty or Joker (the one from the Dark Knight, of course), and that all of the other characters are a match for him? They are smart and cunning, and they aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. They play hard to achieve their goal. One fateful evening Vasily entered a store, and a mysterious creature decided to play a game of life and death with him. The winner wouldn’t die but would be transported into another world, together with other people that are ready to step over others to get ahead. In this world, one can rise from the dead next to their tombstone, but who says that that guarantees one’s safety? Stones, too, can be broken. One will have to try hard to differentiate between friend and foe! A Game of Villains, check it out on webnovel.
