Paint Peeling Off Wall Like Skin

In his first life as 'Caine Wilson', was the villain—ruthless, cunning, and very powerful. He played his part perfectly, crushing the so-called "protagonist" and parading his enemies, their families, and anyone who crossed him naked through the streets. He watched with glee as the "hero" lay broken, stripped of his dignity, before finally ending his pitiful existence. But just as Caine, thought he had finally won and secured his place at the top, 'Higher ups' intervened. A booming, ethereal voice—like the universe’s pissed-off judge—shook the skies: "You have violated the sacred code of villainy! The villain shall not win. The balance has been broken. Caine Wilson, the world hereby rejects you!" Before he could even enjoy his victory, his world blinked out, like a story whose writer just erased the last chapter in frustration. Everything went dark. And when he awoke, he wasn’t Caine Wilson anymore. He was 'Su Xiaobai', a nobody on 'White Cloud Star', a world of cultivation, martial arts, and endless struggle. But this time, things were different. He could feel it—he could see through the cracks of reality itself. He could break the fourth wall! He wasn’t just some reincarnated soul; he was a villain who had 'seen the system', who understood the game. And he was about to flip it upside down. --------------- A/N: Volume 1 (50-60 chapters) sees Su Xiaobai fumbling through an identity crisis, lost like a drunk immortal in a brothel. By Volume 2, he’s rooted, focused, and ready to shake the heavens—one reckless move at a time.

I am the 36th Demon King, the weakest in my empire’s history, yet I wield the shadow powers of the first Demon King—the God Slayer. For two thousand years, our kind has waged war against humanity. But this time, I crossed their borders not as a conqueror, but as a wanderer drawn by whispers of a devastating pandemic—a plague that spares no race, ravaging humans, elves, and demi-humans alike. In the shadows of their suffering, I found myself doing the unthinkable: helping them. Saving lives. Easing their pain. And to my astonishment, they began to hail me as a hero. Yet a question looms over me: Should I continue this masquerade as their savior? Or should I remind them of the truth—the Demon King who stands at the edge of light and shadow, deciding their fate?

Faron grew up haunted and fascinated by the tale of The Wall of Sins—a story whispered to children as a warning against wickedness. According to legend, God punished humanity’s sins with natural disasters and unleashed the Forsaken, three cursed tribes bent on annihilation. Only the intervention of the Pure One, a sinless man, saved humanity, sealing the Forsaken behind an impenetrable wall. But the wall is real, and so are the Forsaken. When Faron unknowingly commits the last sin, the Wall of Sins crumbles, unleashing the vengeful tribes upon the world. Though no one knows he is the one responsible, Faron feels the weight of guilt pressing down on him. Desperate to protect his family and lover from the wrath of the Forsaken, he joins the Flag Bearers, humanity’s last line of defense. Among their ranks is the legendary Black Flag, a fierce and unyielding fighting force tasked with defending what remains of humanity. As Faron battles the Forsaken, he uncovers dark truths buried beneath centuries of myth. The world is not as it seems, and neither are the humans he is fighting to save. Secrets about the Pure One, the Forsaken, and the nature of humanity itself force Faron to question everything he has ever believed. In a tale of survival, sacrifice, and shifting loyalties, Faron must confront the sins of the past, his own culpability, and the future of a species on the brink of extinction. Will he cling to his faith in humanity, or will the truth he uncovers lead him to a devastating choice?
