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 stared at the wolf that was slowly approaching. This wasn't supposed to be how it was—he had met too many ranked beasts in this forest, and it wasn't like that in the story.

"This is bad," Raze said. He tried to control his breathing as he gripped his sword, his eyes trained on the wolf.

"That wolf seems different from the others," Joel said.

"It's a rank one wolf," Raze said, and his statement immediately threw Joel into panic. He started shaking, almost unable to stand on his feet.

Raze glanced at Joel, and a thought came to his mind. Should I use him as a distraction? I might be able to win if I do so. Raze thought, but after a few seconds of thinking, he decided not to—there were too many issues that would come with the death of Joel right now.

"I don't think you can help me here, so unless you want me to end up using you as a distraction for the wolf, I suggest you start running now," Raze said to Joel.
