Revenge, Becoming the strongest, living a wholesome life, protecting the world? Nope, I was just curious. Curious about what the world would be like if there wasn't a single main character. I have always hated main characters who take all the spotlight for themselves and make a fool out of everyone just because they can; I wanted a world where everyone can be a main character. A world where the antagonist can kill the protagonist, a world without a protagonist. I always thought that it was an impossible task... however, fate wasn't as cruel as everyone thought it to be. Or, maybe I was just lucky... Lucky enough to get a second chance. Lucky enough to create a world where everyone can be a protagonist of their own story (Maybe not everyone, but I tried my best), a world without a protagonist. --------------- Join the discord server. https://discord.gg/BaP4c8b8Vq The timeline will be determined through the votes of the readers in the server.
