Arkalphaze

Draven is a magic professor in a fantasy world. He is also an earl, notorious for his evil deeds and mistakes since youth. His downfall is due to a curse that hinders his intellectual potential and his talents. Eventually, he becomes a villain, losing everything he holds dear: his siblings, fiancée, house, domain, and more. After a miserable death, he reincarnates in the modern world as Dravis Granger.

In his new life, he grows up to be a highly intellectual individual oblivious towards his previous life, becoming a young professor in mechanical engineering and a researcher. However, he harbors a strange obsession with creating a game, fueled by vivid imaginings of another world. This obsession leads him to develop a game that mirrors his previous life. Upon completing his virtual reality world, he regains his past memories. Overwhelmed by intense emotions—rage, sadness, and the realization of his past ugliness—he suffers a fatal heart attack.

In his final moments, he hears a voice, seemingly from the world itself, offering him a chance to return to his original fantasy world. However, he would only retain the memories of his modern life, not those of his first life’s mistakes. He agrees and is reincarnated once more, this time with the knowledge of a modern mechanical engineering professor. 

But one thing about the Dravis Granger, he's not just a mechanical engineer professor. Not just a straight, killer genius professor. He has his ideals, and the world is too full of villains for his great idealism. So he strived, with his great mind, he became a mastermind. But not as a villain, but as a person who has lost hope in police and justice, and decided to help the people by his own hand. Collecting victims and invited those handpicked talents to his side, making several insane stunts, assassinating, trapping, and eradicating the scums from the world.

But now in this fantasy world, he has to survive from multiple factions trying to kill him, protect his domain, protect his siblings, protect his fiance, and the most important thing. 

Protect the world.

But he hadn't lost the Dravis from the modern world.

As a professor at the morning, an earl at the afternoon, and a dark knight at the night.

"You've hurt my student." Draven stands still, no mana seems to emit from him, but just a single frown. A frown that is enough to make the room's heavy. "As a teacher, you think I would leave you unpunished?"

"You seem to think that I care about your position, Prince Hermit. But believe me," Draven took a slow step. "Not even your father could protect you from me,"

The Villain Professor's Second Chance

For another few minutes, we walked in silence. The hush of this land pressed in on my thoughts, reminding me of the Ashen Expanse's dryness, the swirl of illusions that nearly consumed me. Yet here, it felt more like a slow rot, creeping from the ground upward, draining color from everything it touched. I remembered how the Tapestry had flared in those final moments when I tore open a path back. Had I accelerated this decay?

No. The Tapestry's unraveling was in motion well before. Belisarius was the key. Stopping him—or confronting him—was the only real solution. For that, I needed power. Real power.

The road dipped slightly, and a distant shape loomed on the horizon—a broken obelisk, maybe a watchtower from another era. I caught a flicker of something at its base, a faint light that vanished the moment I glanced at it directly. Illusions. Or petty spirits awakened by the Tapestry's tears. I tightened my grip on the strap of my sword's sheath.
