Tainted Eden

Every villain has a backstory—a tragic loss, a moment of rejection, or a life tainted by hardship. They are shaped by the cruelty of the world, pushed to the edge by a string of misfortunes. But not me. I am not a product of circumstance or suffering. I am the villain by 'choice'. I have no excuse, no sob story to explain my path. I embrace it because it is my dream, my desire, my rebellion against the predictable, the expected. I do not need a reason to be dark—I choose this. And that, in itself, makes me dangerous.

Taking place at AD 500 , a world in which rulers were messiahs to commoners and the first born royal of great nations had the power of the seals . Nero who rose from the common grounds of Eden hauls himself into the world of religious warfare of great nations where little did he know his life was about to…..

When a man is granted a second chance at life in a world unlike his own, he believes he’s been gifted a fresh start—but every gift comes with a price. In this realm of boundless beauty and hidden darkness, desires burn brightly, and greed for more—more love, more power, more meaning—threatens to consume him entirely. As he journeys through a landscape of breathtaking wonders and cruel truths, he is forced to confront the weight of loss and the fragile connections he forms with those around him. Time and again, relationships bloom, only to be severed by forces beyond his control. With each loss, his resolve is tested: will his endless pursuit of desires lead to salvation, or will it drag him into ruin? A tale of ambition, heartbreak, and the unyielding human spirit, this is a story of chasing dreams in a world where even the purest desires can be tainted by greed—and redemption is never guaranteed.

After being struck by a crazed driver, Eden found himself reincarnated in another world as the young master of one of the three most powerful clans of the modern era. However, he soon realized he had been reborn into a world from a novel he had never read, only seen advertised. Born with one of the six heavenly eyes: Doom, he was known as the Lord of Doom. His eyes - a source of great danger - had to be covered at all costs, for anything they gazed upon would meet its demise. But, that wasn’t the last heavenly eyes he was to receive. Did he receive a system? Yes. But not the kind we all imagine and read every day. Transmigration? Yes, after his first reincarnation then he got transmigrated into... Souls, or rather Akumas (Demons or Devils)? Yes, the villains and threat to the world's balance. World building? Can't be explained in word as it's too large. Overpowered characters, not just the main character? Yes. Discord Server has been launched: [ https://discord.gg/75ve8Zar ] ............. Read: Greatest Academy’s Student: Magic and Money!

Tan Rou only learned that she wasn’t the Tan family’s daughter when she was seventeen years old. She went from being a rich young lady to living in the slums. The parents she adored belonged to someone else, and this series of knockdowns was hard for a seventeen-year-old girl to accept. She wailed like a child for the sake of proving this was all a lie. The vicious words she spouted had hurt her biological family but she didn’t notice. She thought the Tan family was her real family despite them seeing her as an eyesore, and was even naive enough to want to befriend the Tan family’s real daughter, Tan Jing. Alas, the latter drugged her drink and arrange for a thug to rape her. Tan Jing even brought their classmates along to catch them in the act so Tan Rou was now tainted for life. After being reborn, she looked down at the man she was stepping on. Tan Rou swore not to be a useless wretch in this life or be bullied to death. She would stomp on those who wronged her and make it up to her real family. They wouldn’t have had to die tragically on the streets in the past life had it not been for her. Tan Rou turned completely evil after crawling back out of Hell. Everyone claimed that the real young lady was educated and talented, while the fake young lady was arrogant and incompetent. Tan Rou scoffed upon hearing this. She held back her brother from trying to stand up for her. “We have all the time in the world. Let’s just wait and see.” Just as everyone was waiting for Tan Rou to make a fool of herself… A top-class perfumer, a top scholar, a world champion… The fake young lady’s multiple identities kept getting exposed one after another, bumping her up to number one on the trending search, shocking the world. Wait, where was the promised humiliation?

"Hah..Hah.." In the midst of what seemed like a battlefield, a young boy with white hair knelt on the ground, struggling to catch shallow breaths. A short sword pierced his heart, his arms and legs were broken, making him unable to stop the crimson blood from coloring the ground. "That's what you get for betrayal," a red-headed teenage boy sneered as he stood before him. "A pathetic person like you could never be my brother," added a purple-haired girl, her voice seething with anger, as she stood alongside the redhead. With great effort, the young boy shifted his gaze forward. He could see many familiar faces in front of him—his so-called family, his so-called friends but his gaze remained fixed on her. "Wh..y, A.nna," he uttered with immense difficulty and sorrow in his voice, his vision blurring as he locked eyes with the blonde-haired girl, who regarded him with emotionless eyes. "I did that so I could save you," he said, his voice gradually growing louder. "I DID THAT SO YOU COULD LIVE!" he shouted, making everyone present flinch in fear. "I never asked you to do this" the blonde-haired girl replied, her words crushing the very soul of the boy. "A...nn.a," the young boy whispered one last time, a small tear slipping down from his eye as he breathed his final breath. ================================ Neil survived eight grueling years in a post-apocalyptic world only to die and be reincarnated in the body of Eden Morton, a character from a game he used to play as a teenager, by an unknown entity for unknown reasons.

Discord Link for those interested [https://discord.gg/TGc9yymDJP] One may think that in order to be a Hero you must have a pure soul, and untainted heart, but in reality such a thing is impossible; now one's soul is pure, nor is anyone's heart untainted, Gods aren't even exempt from this rule. No, a True Hero is someone who knows they have an impure soul and tainted heart, yet they embrace it, instead of attempting to deny their very nature; however, not all True Heros are the same, some have different beliefs and/or ideals. Yet at the end of the day, no matter how terrible or bleak the situation looks, you can always count on a True Hero to act as a beacon of light that'll show you the correct path, but for you to take, you must embark on it yourself.
