[Doru's POV: Following Rowen]
I was following Rowen with Dante in front of me, but the pain in my body was excruciating. Every step felt like a thousand knives piercing through my flesh, and the burning sensation was unbearable. It felt like my body was being torn apart from the inside, and I could barely keep up with them.
As I struggled to keep moving, my mind wandered back to my previous life. I was just a simple father who loved his son more than anything in the world. I remembered how I used to read stories to him every night before he went to bed, and how he would listen with wide-eyed wonder.
But then, I was reborn in a strange body, in a world that was completely unfamiliar to me. It didn't take long for me to realize that I was the villain of the story that I used to read to my son. I was disgusted with myself, and I knew that I had to find a way to change my fate.
