I live in a world where people can obtain superpowers, they are called heroes, however some choose to live selfishly, they are called villains, i am a villain, they nicknamed me "actor", because i can always adjust the way i think and act, making me very dangerous to those "heroes".

in that world where those without strong superpowers are seen as worthless, i was seen as a major threat, even though my power is mostly useless, i have the power to freely copy people, their own self is what i use against them, "if you know the enemy and know yourself, in a hundred battles you will never be in peril." is a quote that describes me perfectly.

however i am now in trouble, it seems that i have become too dangerous to those "hero" idiots, and the final battle is soon, on my playing field thankfully, but it does not look good for me.

after all, there are hundreds of people hunting me, and only one of me, that is why i had thought up a plan.

as i sat on a broken building in the ruins of a city, waiting for the final battle, i suddenly saw many lights appearing all around me.

"haa- talk about a flashy entrance." i sighed as i jumped down from the broken building, as soon as i landed the lights exploded, turning the ruins into a pile of debris.

"if you give up now we will at least spare your life!" a voice yelled loudly from outside of the broken city.

"no thanks, i prefer to either die here, or kill all of you." i answered.

"if that is what you want, everyone attack!" the voice said, followed by the sound of many people rushing forward.

bang! boom! crash! as the sound got closer, suddenly many explosions and other loud noises could be heard.

"do you like my welcome gifts?" i asked teasingly.

"everyone look out!" the voice continously warned the people that were about to step on my traps.

five minutes later there were no more traps left, and the heroes surrounded me.

"i thought there were more of you? maybe triple what you have now?" i asked in a calm voice.

"that is because of those traps of yours!" someone from the crowd yelled angrily.

"you came here to kill me, so you should be prepared to die." i shrugged.

after realizing that i could not be talked down, the heroes attacked.

i was like the last donut in the box, everyone wanted a piece of me, but i kept dodging every attack, every time i dodge i tap the attacker, not doing much, but it really upsets them, so i keep doing it.

i am not doing this for fun though, this is part of my plan, and my final chance.

finally, after tapping almost every hero, i can now begin my final plan.

"get ready." i say as i stand still letting the incoming attacks hit me.

this shocks the heroes and they stop attacking.

as i raise my hand and a red flare shoots from it to the sky, a loud rumbling could be heard, like a stampede of elephants rushing towards my location.

"what was that!?"

"since you guys are working together, why should i not call for help?"

"there is no one who would help someone like you!"

"correct! i am only the bait, you are the prey, and they are the hunters, and these hunters like me more than they like you."

as the incoming horde comes closer the heroes saw who they were.

"villains!" they realized that this was a trap, but it was too late.

then, a second battle started, not between the heroes and me, but between the heroes and villains.

as soon as the two sides clashed the heroes were at a disadvantage because of their lower numbers.

as i was running around tapping the last heroes i did not tap yet, suddenly while running i was surrounded by the heroes in the middle who had not joined the battle yet.

as i tapped the final hero i looked at the sky and said "it is time, now, i will kill you all!"

this made everyone look at me, but i did not care, i raised both my hands to the sky and unleashed my final skill, a skill that will kill both me, and everyone i came into contact with before activating it.

"implosion!" as i yelled this, my body started to hurt, when i looked around everyone fell to the ground unable to get up, they could never get back up, because what next shocked even me, their bodies broke apart, they were pushed into small shapes that look like scrunched up paper, and those shapes turned to dust, as the same slowly happened to me i closed my eyes and waited, for death to take me.

i am now in a different world, i have been here for a month, i have no idea how i got here, in this world there are no superpowers, instead, there is magic, and classes, even monsters, like a video game, normally in those games i would be the hero, but here i am a bandit, thankfully i got the class of "chimera alchemist", alchemists are necessary in every strong group, because alchemists have strong production abilities, being able to create potions or magical tools, and the chimera alchemist is an enhanced version of the alchemist class, being able to create chimera by fusing different beings, causing the powers of those creatures to combine, creating powerful existences that only listen to their creator.

the chimera alchemist has only one weakness, that weakness being their pathetic combat abilities, however because of my superpower that for some reason came with me, and was even enhanced, i can copy the combat skills of others, not just combat skills, but any skills, making me the strongest in the bandit group, but i absolutely do not want to become the leader, because that would make me have less time for myself, since the entire group wanted me to become the leader, i took the position of secondary leader, it has power, but not a lot of responsibility.

the bandit group works in a pretty organized manner, you have the leader, who creates the rules, and enforces them, then there is me, i create items to distribute to the others, sometimes i join training or actual combat, then there is the combat captain, who leads battles whenever there is a strong opponent, then there are the secondary captains, who support with things like checking stock, doing important chores, of even fight if necessary, and finally the ordinary members, the main force of our group, sometimes before they fight they take some things i made and test them, or they just rob merchants and whatnot, whenever they have time off they simply have fun playing drinking games or something.

knock! knock!, while i was busy with a new magic tool, suddenly someone knocks on my door, causing me to lose focus and mess up, destroying the magic tool, when i open the door a large man stands there, "who is it now? i swear to whatever god you believe in i wil- oh, hey, bear, is there something wrong?" i started grumbling, but when i realized who it was my tone got less angry, after all, bear is the combat captain and my first friend here, i have to show him some decency.

"the leader wants you to come to the planning room, he looked really angry." bear said while rushing off to the training room, does he think i do not know what he is doing? he does not want to become a punching bag for the leader, so he plans on using training as an excuse, thanks "friend".

"sure, i will be on my way!" i yelled at the fleeing bear.

as i was walking to the planning room i saw the secondary captains standing at the side of the hallway, they seemed to be planning something but i do not care, i have never gotten involved with them too much.

as i knocked on the door i could hear two people talking, "weird, only the leader should be there, who could it be?" i thought, but my thoughts were interrupted by someone saying "come in." so i did.

after entering and closing the door i saw the other person, "that is definitely an assassin." i thought while looking at the person wearing black leather armor covered in knives, and a hood with a demon mask hiding the face.

"hmm? a new face?" i said.

"..." the assassin did not speak.

"well not exactly a face, should i say 'a new mask' instead?" i joked.

after hearing my joke the assassin glared at me and then looked at the leader "is this the guy you were talking about?" the assassin asked.

"no fun." i whispered loud enough for the assassin to hear me, when the assassin heard it they angrily pulled out a knife and threw it at me.

tok! before the knife hit me i grabbed it and threw it with more power than the assassin did back at them, missing on purpose and hitting the wall next to them, making the entire blade pierce into the wall.

after the assassin looked at me in horror they said in a shaky voice "that was a blunt knife."

"i know" i answered

because i was not aiming for the assassin or the wall, instead i tried to remove the mask, so after saying this their mask fell off, revealing a young girl with red eyes and long fangs, shocking the assassin even more.

"hmm? a vampire?"

"How do you know what I am?" The vampire girl asked with both anger and fear in her voice.

"I have met vampires before." I answered.

"Really?! Where?!" The vampire girl asked with shining eyes.

"They have already died." I threw the cold truth at her without any nice words.

A cold silence spread through the room, and the vampire girl looked sad, but I did not care, I learned about her personality with my power, and while she may look sad, she actually just wants me to take pity on her, probably to influence me in some way.

"How did they die?" The vampire girl asked while the sad look dissapeared, as if it was never there.

"Heroes." I said only one word, but that word was enough to make the vampire girl tremble, since there are people called heroes in this world too, the heroes in this world are people who got powers from the gods, they are invincible against ordinary people, even powerful warriors will be beaten by an ordinary hero.

"Anyway, why did you call for me?" I continued without giving the vampire girl a chance to ask more.

"We have a task for you, we need your "puppets" to do something important." the leader said with a serious face.

"Oh? Do you not want my help, just my puppets? Sorry to burst your bubble, but I need to be around for them to work perfectly." I explained for the tenth time this month.

What are these puppets we are talking about? They are the chimera I made of course, though they are strong, I still need to be around for them to be useful.

"I think I know what the task is, cause trouble on the border between the beasts land and the kingdom, right?" I asked casually.

"How did you know?" the vampire girl asked with shock, even the leader was surprised I knew.

"Because my puppets all look like beasts, of course." I said while walking to the door.

"So when should I be done with the mission?" I asked.

"In a week." the vampire girl answered with a mean grin.

"Consider it done, make sure to prepare my payment!" I said while walking out the door and returning to my room.

As I entered my room I saw another assassin with a black outfit, but this one had no hood, just a mask that covered her mouth, she had cat ears on top of her head.

She was one of my puppets, the cat girl "Sa", one of my first creations, a combination between a human and many different feline monsters.

Behind Sa was another cat girl assassin, her sister "Si", they were twins, both had been created from the same creatures.

After I closed the door they jumped at me, causing all three of us to fall to the ground.

"Good to see you too." I said while Sa and Si hugged me.

"How are the preparations going?" I asked while returning the hug.

"We are already done!" Sa said with pride.

"You only need to give the order." Si said quietly.

"Good, well done, tell them to begin the first part." As I said this the twins let go and started doing what they needed to.

Si grabbed something that looked like a phone, said something to it, and then put it back down.

While Sa grabbed something that looked like a laptop and placed it on the desk in the middle of the room and started typing.

After Sa was done the three of us left the hideout and rushed to the place where we would start our plan.

...

In a small village along the border someone with a loud voice was running around yelling "Everyone! We need to evacuate! The beasts are attacking!".

The person yelling was one of the few guards in the village, it was already known that the beasts were invading the border, so everyone realized that they needed to leave immediately.

These beasts were not wild animals, "beasts" was the word humans use to refer to beastmen, beastmen are insanely strong, to the point of breaking metal plate armor with just a punch, and they are also very fast, they can easily outrun a carriage, the only weakness the beastmen have is that they are unable to use magic.

As everyone in the village was gathered to escape they saw a large amount of beastmen carrying weapons jump over the small wall that surrounded the village.

"Kekeke! Thanks for gathering together, now it will be easier to catch you!" a large wolf beastman wearing an eye patch on his left eye looked at the humans while laughing.

Seeing this the humans realized that they were surrounded, there were fifty beastmen gathered around them, these numbers made them realize that they could not run, or fight back.
