I was supposed to die. But when I opened my eyes, I was no longer myself.

I had become Zerath Val’Khazar, the Final Boss of my favorite game—a villain destined to be defeated in Chapter 1000.

In this world, I know everything: the heroes, the kingdoms, the prophecies… and my inevitable death.

But what if I rewrote fate itself?

To survive, I must outsmart destiny:
– Conquer kingdoms before they turn on me.
– Recruit hidden characters before the heroes do.
– Twist the story so that the villain becomes the ruler of everything.

They call me the final villain...
But I will become the true master of this world.

Reincarnated as the Last Villain

Location: The Ember Hollow (Realm Between Flames)

Access Method: Triple-Flame SynchronizationParticipants: Kael, Lyra, Caelia/NeriahTime Presence: None (Time is suspended within the Court)

A golden arc shot into the air—seen only by flamebearers.

Lyra collapsed with pain in her chest.Neriah dropped to her knees.

And from Caelia's fractured watch,a voice echoed:

"Kael Valen.Flamewalker.Forsaken Chosen.You are summoned to the Flame Court."

Ashendawn vibrated in Kael's hand.

And a gate of living fire appeared before them.

"Only those bearing three flames may enter,"the gate whispered.

It was architecture woven from fire,each wall made of souls long burned to wisdom.

Four were empty.Two burned with judging fire.And one—shone like a dying star.

Scars of old wars written in flame across his chest.

"Welcome, Kael Valen," the man said."We are what came before.And you are what we tried to be."

The Flame Court are the original seven bearers of the primal fire—those who once shaped kingdoms, destroyed gods, and remade history.

But their time ended when they refused to choose between:

Order — control, legacy, and sacrifice of freedom.

Chaos — freedom, creation, and the sacrifice of stability.

They chose neither.

The fire turned inward.And the world began to forget.

Now, with Kael awakening new Children of Flame—the balance is breaking again.

"He saved me from becoming something cold."

"He accepted our broken truths. Didn't try to fix us—just stood with us."

"And he let judgment fall on himself first."

One of the old kings—Highflame Sarich—asks Kael directly:

"Will you choose a side?Or are you just another spark waiting to fade?"

He looks around.Breathes.Remembers every scream, every lie, every life he let go.

"I choose neither.I choose to walk with the ones who still bleed.I choose to build… not from flame—but from who still carries it, even when it hurts."

"Then you are no heir.You are the kindling of something new."

The Court gifts Kael a fourth spark—not from a child,but from the collective soul of every flamebearer who died doubting themselves.

[Trial Flame: Unlocked]🔥 Trait: Unyielding Ember – Kael can now withstand soul-shattering magic once per battle🔗 This flame resonates with unawakened children of flame nearby—guiding Kael to the next

As the gate reopens, Sarich gives one final warning:

"When the Pale Sovereign manifests fully…your judgment will matter to more than just this world.It will ripple into realms still unborn."

The Flame Court Summons Kael
