Utilizing Evil To Be A Hero

My name is Glicko, and I am a powerful warlock. I have inflicted a curse on people with wicked hearts that mutates them into monsters. I kidnapped a young man's kind parents to confirm that my curse doesn't impact them. I wiped out memories of a young mage so her powers would not rival mine. Despite my works, am I truly a villain? I think not....

I see my actions as utilizing evil to eliminate evil in the long game. I curse those that try to hide their evil, and the monster mutations that result exposes them for who they really are. The monsters will have to be annihilated to remove the threat that they are to this world, and once there are no more monsters, the world will be free of evil. So tell me, do my schemes of destroying evil truly make me evil?

Glicko's schemes are ongoing in this story arc: https://theprose.com/post/414567/from-city-to-jungle
