The Book That Shouldn't Exist
Azriel Votex thought it was nothing more than a peculiar book—half-finished, strangely evocative, and littered with characters that felt far too real. But the deeper he read, the more the lines blurred. The names, the events, even the emotions—it was as if the story had been watching him all along. And then came the cruel twist.
He wasn’t just a reader. He was inside the story.
Not as the hero. Not even as a side character.
But as the villain—a doomed antagonist written to fall, lose everything, and be cast aside to glorify the protagonists
But Azriel is no puppet, and he refuses to be another tragic casualty in a hero’s journey.
Cold, calculating, and unshackled by the morals that bind others, he begins to unravel the story from within. No thunderous confrontations, no grand declarations—only quiet corruption. He turns fate on its head through whispered words, subtle glances, and meticulously placed fractures in the relationships around the golden protagonist.
He doesn’t need a sword to draw blood—only a smile and a well-placed truth.
The childhood friend who once looked at Riven with affection now hesitates.
The shy girl who was meant to bloom by the hero’s side begins to lean toward someone else.
And every moment of doubt, every stolen heartbeat, becomes another thread in the unraveling narrative.
Azriel becomes the silent architect of emotional ruin—twisting love into longing, loyalty into suspicion, and light into shadow.
But as he manipulates the world’s balance, he starts to sense something deeper lurking beneath the surface. The story isn’t as hollow as it seemed. The roles may already be shifting. And the author’s hand might still be writing, watching, waiting.
Because in this game of broken destinies, who truly holds the pen?
Is Azriel the villain rewriting the script… or the next piece being written into tragedy?
