My name is **Lux**, and just when I thought I was dead, I was reborn into another world. Like many heroes, I found myself in a new reality, but fate had a twisted sense of humor: I woke up in the body of a **villain**. And not just any villain, but one whose very being holds unnatural secrets.



Follow Lux on his journey of planning, power, and destiny. Will life finally smile upon him, or will he remain a mere **pawn to be manipulated**?

The Villain's Awakening

## Chapter Fourteen: A Call from the Shadows and the Search for an Ally

After a period of intense training, Lux began to feel restless. He knew the Dark Lord wouldn't remain silent for long; they had to stay one step ahead.

One night, while sifting through ancient records in the Night Guard's library, Lux found a mention of the **"Vessel Forgers."** They were a group of ancient scientists believed to be responsible for engineering beings like Raven. The records indicated that they had left behind vast knowledge, but most of it had been lost over the ages.

"If I can find one of them or remnants of their research," Lux thought, "we might find a way to reverse Laila's integration with the energy key, and perhaps even separate my soul from Raven's body."

During his search, Lux stumbled upon an old notice about an upcoming trial in **Border City**, a place known for its advanced technology but also for being a hub of corruption and illicit activities. The accused was a brilliant scientist named **Dr. Kane**, charged with treason and unethical experiments. His fate was execution.

A crucial piece of information caught Lux's attention: Dr. Kane was considered a pioneer in **"advanced bio-engineering"** and **"bio-energy manipulation,"** fields closely related to Raven's and Laila's abilities.

"What if Dr. Kane is connected to the 'Vessel Forgers'?" Lux wondered. "Or perhaps he has information that could help us."

Lux decided to head to Border City alone. He knew Echo might reject the idea, as it was too dangerous, and the Shadow Organization could be everywhere. But he felt a strong intuition pushing him towards this decision. He needed an ally with deep knowledge of this world.
