Draconic Antagonist

Alexander Drake spent his final months trapped in a hospital bed, his body wasting away from a terminal illness doctors had long given up on. The only thing that kept him going was a story — Battlefield of Heroes and Dragons. He read it until the very end, twice over, memorizing every name, every twist, every tragedy. When death finally came, he thought that was it. But when he opened his eyes again, he wasn’t in a hospital anymore. He was Caleb Ragnar — heir of one of the strongest noble families in Eldora, born with the blood of an Ancient Dragon once revered as divine. The same man destined to become the story’s despised villain. The same man fated to die so the hero could rise and be stronger. But Caleb remembers everything. And this time, he refuses to play the role written for him. He won’t die a second time — not as a man, not as a monster. In a world ruled by bloodlines and dragons, he’ll decide what it means to live on his own terms… even if it means tearing the story apart.
