I died once. Now, I live in the body of a villain destined to be destroyed.

As Ashen Crimson, the disgraced heir of a fallen house, I was meant to be a stepping stone for the hero, a tragedy in a pre-written tale. But I remember the future, and I refuse to play my part.

Using the memories of a fallen god and a cunning this world isn't ready for, I will manipulate the plot, break the hero, and claim the power he was meant to wield. They see a broken boy, a remnant of a shamed family. They don't see the strategist pulling the strings from the shadows.
They can call me a villain. They can call me a monster.
But the family I'm building from the ashes of this broken world will call me their protector.
And for them, I will become a king.

The next day began with the cold, damp kiss of the forest morning. We again started what we were doing the previous day: killing creatures, making our way deeper into the whispering woods. The initial tension between Liora and Aurelia had been replaced by a grudging, efficient synergy born from shared combat. They moved like two sides of the same coin—Aurelia, a storm of raw, untamed lightning, and Liora, a calm, precise blade of holy light.
