"Is Fate the excuse of the forsaken, is Free Will the delusion of the chosen?"

Such was a question that Xavier, the Demon King, never had the chance to ask himself. As he lay defeated, awaiting his death, he wondered about the wretched life he lived.

'The hero who killed me, the one who held the same ambitions as me. We both wanted good for the people, for the world. We are both two sides of the same coin, yet, fate decided that he will be the one the light will shine on.

Perhaps it was me too, perhaps it was my karma for flowing the rivers of blood with my sword. But still... It was fate that squashed the humanity in me first!

Damn fate, if I had one more chance, I would've lived for myself more, I wouldn't have taken this arbitrary role of being a necessary evil... This world, this game of destiny... It can burn to ashes for all I care.'

As he sunk into the cold embrace of death, a certain [REDACTED] heard his dying wish with amusement and cast their die, reversing the wheel of time one last time and going all in on him on a risky gamble with the stakes of their world.

Author is on a break, exams are coming soon. The placeholder chapters are being updated, so you will not be notified if you add to library, since it's technically not a new chapter.

...Plus working on a new book that'll be released next year

Black String of Fate

"Bloodline Awakening: Legacy of the Murim's Greatest: Cheonma"

The Heavenly Demon, whose few strands of hair had turned golden, suddenly had all his hair turn white. His red eyes turned golden, and he began emitting an ethereal golden-white aura.

"A bloodline, huh? Ah, what a way to make me jealous." Xavier commented as he took a stance against that monstrosity that the heavenly demon had transformed into.

'Bloodline. An unfair advantage possessed by those of a legacy lineage. This is what distinguished nobles from the common people in the first place. It is said that these bloodlines are based on the myths of an otherworld, but many debate this idea as being just propaganda to raise the image of nobles.

Tsk, he has grown too strong. I have to finish this quickly.'

Xavier tapped into his soul and started using Desolation's Requiem. A cold energy began rushing through his body, and he could feel his lifespan decreasing by the second.
