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

Setting: Western Beyond, off-map region known as "Voidwake"

Weather: None. There is no wind.Sound: Muffled. Distant.Time: Unstable — resets to midnight every 47 minutes.Access Requirement: Soul-anchor (Elyra) + trace memory (obsidian marble)

Even Lyra—usually the one to hum or fill the air with words—felt something in the landscape pressing down on her voice.

"This place hates reality.That's why Aira was brought here."

Caelia's body glitched every few steps.Neriah remained quiet, watching Kael carefully.

They passed broken treeswhose leaves whispered not with rustle,but with names they almost remembered.

A shore without water.

The ocean was gone—only blackness remained, stretching infinitely—

but still wet,still glistening.

Elyra reached down and touched the surface.

It reflected nothing.

To proceed, they had to follow the sound of silence—

a paradox, yes,but one only Aira could once guide them through.

Now they had to mimic her steps—feel where the silence grew thickerand walk toward it.

Each companion began to hear things:

Lyra saw herself as a child, alone in a cell. The silence said: "You were always meant to be the flame that never flickered."

Caelia saw time fracturing, a thousand versions of herself standing still—each one a moment she didn't choose.

Elyra heard singing: her own voice, in a lullaby she had never sung… to a sister she never had.

Standing at the edge of the void, eyes closed, speaking not with voice,but with absence.

"The longer you stay,the more you'll forget I was real."

In her place, a door appeared.

The door was made of bone and stillness,floating in the black sea.

🔘 — A single black circle, drawn inside itself.

"This is a lock meant for her flame."

"But we might be able to trick it…if one of us lets go of a memory."

He pulled a silver chain from his neck—the one that held his brother's last ring.

A world without noise.

Aira stood in the center, arms bound by threads of stillness.Her eyes flicked open.

But her voice was thin—like it belonged to someone else.

Behind her stood a figure cloaked in gray, faceless and tall.

"No. She belongs with us."

The creature breathed in—and their flames flickered out.

🕳 HP: Variable🛡 Immune to sound, magic, and memory🔓 Weakness: Flame of Stillness (must be willingly given back by Aira)⚠️ Special: For every second the battle lasts, one random memory is erased from a party member

The group fights in darkness and confusion.

Elyra's dreamfire bends the air, keeping the entity at bay.

Lyra forces her flame into her sword, burning words as weapons.

Caelia channels glitch-time to duplicate Kael for brief seconds.

But it's Kael's voice that reaches Aira.

"You said nothing louder than all of us.So please—speak now.Even just once."

A single pulse erupts from her chest.

But perfect stillness.

[The Silencer Dissolved]🔓 Aira returns — her cuffs reforged with Voidthread✨ New Passive: Nullheart Echo – Can erase any magical effect within 15 meters, including soul-binds⚠️ Side Effect: Aira now hears voices… not in sound, but in thought—including Kael's inner monologue
