WSA 2025

In every story, there exists the hero and the villain, the protagonist and the antagonist.

And like every story, the hero always wins, and always gets the girl.

But what happens now that I died and became a villain in the last book I read? Not even a proper villain, but one that the protagonist kills in the early chapters.

I don't want to die again, and I don't want that simp of a protagonist to walk all over me. Maybe I should just become a better villain.

I've always admired the smart badass villains that took on the protagonist. Maybe I can be one of them, maybe I can win—the first villain to win against the hero.

I'll rewrite this story into one where I become the greatest villain. Call me sick or evil, but it's my time to shine.

A Villain’s POV

Raze took a deep breath after the beast got free to make sure that he didn't panic. He watched it as it got ready to charge at him. He had a plan in mind, but it would require him to watch very closely and not make a single mistake.

The beast charged at him again, rushing like a pit of out-of-control bulls. Raze held up his sword. When the beast was only a letter away, Raze moved. He used Void Step and vanished in that instant.

His speed was so fast that the beast could not react to it. Raze planted his feet behind the beast and went for a slash. The beast reacted and turned to block the attack, but Raze was ready for that. He moved again, used Void Step for the second time, and got behind the beast while it was in the middle of swinging its fist.

As Raze got behind the beast, he stabbed with a full-powered thrust. His blade pierced the thick hide of the beast and made it inside deeply.
