Phonqi Caverns

Villain's way to live

Prologue I always hated my life. Bland, uninspired, a loop of mediocrity. My mornings started with the sound of a cheap alarm clock and ended with sleepless nights haunted by dreams of a better life—dreams that never came true. Life was cruel, unfair, and unrelenting. But even in my wildest nightmares, I never imagined that dying would be my gateway to something worse. When I opened my eyes again, I wasn’t in the comfort of my dingy apartment. No peeling wallpaper. No stack of ramen cups piled up on the table. Just a cold, cavernous room dripping with opulence, the kind only an aristocrat could afford. At first, I thought it was a lucid dream or some twisted afterlife. Then, I caught my reflection in a massive gilded mirror. Long, dark hair. Sharp features with an almost cruel beauty. Eyes that radiated arrogance and menace. I knew that face. Anyone who played "The Princess is in love with me" knew that face. Killian Nux, the Major Antagonist of the story, destined to be defeated by the plucky protagonist and his harem of magical misfits. He wasn’t just a villain—he was the villain. The one everyone loved to hate. And now... I was him. Great. Just great. If reincarnation was supposed to give me a second chance, someone really screwed up. I didn’t just end up in a fantasy world; I landed right in the middle of a sadistic dating sim known for its brutal difficulty and relentless drama. In the game, Killian Nux wasn’t just a spoiled noble. He was a monster. An overpowered, sadistic tyrant feared and hated by everyone. His fall was as inevitable as the sunrise. By the end of the story, his power, his pride, his very existence was crushed under the protagonist’s boot. If I didn’t want to meet the same fate, I needed to change everything. But fate had other plans. To survive in this world, I had to attend the Olympus Academy, the melting pot of heroes, heroines, villains, and victims. The place where the story began. The place where Killian's path to ruin was set in stone. And it gets better—or worse. Because walking into that academy means meeting him. The Protagonist. That righteous, golden-haired beacon of hope destined to unite everyone against me. Along with him come the Main Heroines—the princess, the knight, the healer, the mage—and even the Villainess, the one character I might have been able to rely on if Edward hadn’t been such a bastard to her in the original game. So what am I supposed to do? Watch the Protagonist steal the spotlight, woo every girl in sight, and forge his path to glory? No. I’m not playing by the game’s script. If I’m destined to be the villain, then so be it. But I won’t go down quietly. If Killian Nux is supposed to fall, he’ll do so as the strongest, most feared villain this world has ever seen. After all, if I’m going to live in this hellhole of a game, I might as well make it my story.

Whispers of Elandrial:Echoes of the triad’s purchase

Deep in the heart of Elandrial, away from the bustling cities and grand kingdoms, within the intricate maze of the Underrealm, Kael lived in shadows. A Cavedweller by birth, his heritage was one of mystery, often whispered about in legends but seldom encountered. Kael wasn't ordinary, even by Cavedweller standards. His veins pulsed with the ancient art of sword magic, a legacy passed down through secretive lineages. When he danced with his blade, it shimmered with arcane energies, cutting not just through flesh but through the very fabric of magic itself. This talent, however potent, was a double-edged sword. It made him a beacon for those hungry for power, so he hid it, fearing its allure. His days consisted of exploring the depths, unearthing relics of a bygone era, and practicing his swordplay in concealed caverns. Solitude was his chosen companion until fate intervened. One evening, while navigating a previously unexplored tunnel, Kael stumbled upon a scene that would shatter his isolated existence. There, in a hidden cavern illuminated by bioluminescent fungi, representatives of the Obsidian Empire were engaged in a covert exchange with enigmatic figures - the Voidwalkers from the abyss. The traded object was a pulsating dark crystal, the "Abyssal Heart", radiating an eerie energy that even Kael, from his concealed vantage point, could feel. Intrigued yet cautious, Kael decided to intervene. Drawing upon his sword magic, he attempted to disrupt the exchange. But the Voidwalkers, beings of ancient magic, sensed his presence. A battle ensued, where shadows clashed with the gleam of the blade. But the numbers were against Kael, and he was forced to retreat, but not before witnessing the Obsidian Empire successfully obtaining the Abyssal Heart. Understanding the gravity of what had transpired, Kael knew he couldn't remain a silent observer. The Abyssal Heart's power in the hands of the Obsidian Empire would bring forth a darkness that Elandrial had never seen. His first attempt to warn the higher realms led him to the Stone Trolls of Thunder Reach. Historically reclusive, they were known for their mastery over earth magics. But as Kael approached their majestic mountain citadel, he witnessed its annihilation. The Obsidian Empire, powered by the abyss, had struck their first blow, leaving Thunder Reach in ruins. Devastated yet determined, Kael pushed forward. He sought the Moon Dancers of Lorianel, hoping their affinity for lunar magic could counteract the Abyssal Heart's malevolence. It was here he met Luna, a skilled Moon Dancer. Sensing the truth in Kael's words, Luna pledged her support. Together, they journeyed to Seraphina, seeking the Sun Whisperers' aid. This is where Solan, a Sun Whisperer with a fiery spirit, joined their ranks. The trio, each representing a unique aspect of Elandrial's magic, became the realm's unlikely defenders. As they ventured across the vast landscapes, from the shimmering shores of Maelstrome’s Rift to the floating islands of Celestial Shadows, they rallied allies. The Maelstrome Dominion, seeing the threat posed by the abyss, provided naval support. The ethereal beings of the Celestial Shadows lent their knowledge of ancient prophecies, hinting at the Abyssal Heart's origin and possible countermeasures. Their journey took them through the Glimmering Groves and the Skaldorian Foothills, battling Obsidian scouts and abyssal creatures. In these skirmishes, Aria, a rogue Mage from the Virelia Republic with unparalleled knowledge of arcane arts, saved them. Recognizing a shared purpose, she joined their quest. But time was against them. The Obsidian Empire's shadow spread, consuming realms and bending them to their dark will. The abyss, sensing Elandrial's weakening defenses, grew bolder, with its creatures becoming more frequent and aggressive.

Raised to be leader of her clan, will she be able to forge a path ahead of her, or will she let herself be consumed by the flames? * * * The blade slid through muscle and bone easily, blood flowed freely to the Earth. Spurts gushed and trickled down the pallid corpse, as the gurgles and sputters of final breath echoed off of the cavernous walls. The thick crimson liquid ran into the carved grooves of the stone altar. The altar began to glow and the room began to tremble, dust and debris fell from the ceiling of the temple ruins, the Doric columns swayed with the Earth as if they cheered and hailed the sacrifice only to slowly come to a halt and a silence that pursued the remnant ritual. A smile quirked the edges of Rhea’s lips as she brought the blade to her lips, she ran her tongue along the length of the blade. She tasted the unharnessed power simmering within her victim. She gripped the elder god by his blonde curls and yanked his head back to stare into his eyes. Lifeless, they now glowed, flecks of fire danced beneath the surface. “Zeus, how the mighty has fallen. My son.”

Aether

I remember the darkness. I remember dying. 'Beep…Beep…Beep.' I heard in the distance, echoing throughout the cavernous purgatory I was standing in. My chest hurt; my ribcage ached.
