12thFailedGenius

Zain Miller died a broken man. Once a valiant rebel fighting against a ruthless colonial government, he lost everything—his friends, his family, and his dignity—when fear drove him to flee the battlefield. Branded a coward, he spent the rest of his life in shame, only to die alone and forgotten.  

But death was not the end.  

Reborn into a brutal fantasy world where humans are mere prey for monstrous beings like vampires, werewolves, and dragons, Zain is given a second chance. This world is ruled by Aether, a mysterious and corrupting energy that fuels both unimaginable power and unspeakable horrors.  

Guided by a enigmatic benefactor who claims to know his past, Zain must navigate this treacherous new reality. Who is this mysterious man, and why did he choose Zain? What does he mean when he says, *“This is the legend of a coward becoming a brave warrior”*?  

As Zain struggles to survive in a world where every step could be his last, he must confront the ghosts of his past and the weight of his failures. Can he rise above his cowardice, reclaim his honor, and forge a new legacy in a land where survival is the ultimate test of courage?
