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: Recovery shelter, edge of Voidwake

Time: One day after Aira's returnStatus: Flames stabilizing. Memories reorganizing.Danger: Internal.

Too quiet—because now Aira could hear everything inside Kael.

Doubts.Guilt.And... truth.

She watched him stare at the fire, hands still bandaged.

He hadn't spoken much since pulling her from the Silencer's domain.

And tonight, Aira answered the question he never said aloud.

"You weren't supposed to be the villain."

Her eyes, silver in the firelight, didn't blink.

"You keep thinking about the original story.The way the game was supposed to go."

"You were meant to lose.To fall in chapter 1000.To become the final boss for someone else's ending."

But silence couldn't protect him now.

Aira continued—her voice calm, never judgmental.

"You changed the path.You chose mercy.You made them follow you, not the script."

"And maybe I broke everything by doing that."

"Maybe this world is dying because I wasn't supposed to live this far."

That in the code of the game—the one he remembered—his character was:

Fated to die gloriously, tragically, necessarily.

"The final fight wasn't just for balance.It was because my existence broke the world."

Then she said something he didn't expect.

"So what if you were a villain?So was I."

"So is Caelia, in some timelines.So is Lyra, if her rage wins.So is Elyra, in a hundred dreams."

"The world doesn't need a villain or a hero anymore.It needs someone who keeps walking,even when the script ends."

"You're the unwritten chapter.And that's why I'm still here."

But for the first time in a long time…

The weight he'd been carrying—the idea that his life was a mistake—broke.
