For twenty years, Raiten has been bound to the Thunder Tower and made the enslaved guardian of his clan's northern pillar. Once, he dreamed of freedom and fought for a friend he believed in. Now, she’s returned—a hero, wielding the power he stole for her. The only question that remains is, how will Raiten kill her? Will he choose forgiveness and carve for himself a new life, beyond the tower, beyond the clan? Or, will he sink in the depraved depths of bloody vengeance? Perhaps a bit of both.

Dawn finishes her novel after years of hard work, only left with the words, 'The End' illuminating her dark room as she laments on her journey being over. The characters she loved so dearly would be leaving her now, and so lost in thought she decides there's nothing a good nap couldn't solve. Unfortunately for her, after a bizarre dream she finds out that, indeed, there are some things a good nap can't solve.

In this modern mythological tale, Dhruv, an unsuspecting mortal, finds himself in Vaikuntha, questioning whether this is truly the end of his journey. Instead of peace, he meets a mysterious man in a suit, who ultimately reveals that Dhruv cannot enter heaven due to "arrows of regret"—a metaphor for his unfulfilled purpose. Offered a chance to return to Earth for 90 days to make amends, Dhruv agrees to the terms, unaware that the mysterious man is none other than Lord Vishnu in disguise. Upon accepting the deal, Dhruv embarks on a chaotic and humorous journey through the underworld, meeting Yamaraj, the god of death, and Gorgo, a nervous demon with horns, who comically reacts to Dhruv's presence as though he's a harbinger of disaster. As Dhruv navigates the strange, labyrinthine bureaucracy of the underworld and the daunting task of creating a "happy ending" for himself, he finds himself in an unusual mix of existential crises, dark humor, and supernatural chaos. With gods in disguise, reluctant demon assistants, and divine missions laced with humor, Dhruv's journey becomes one of discovering the true meaning of life, death, and purpose. This story is a refreshing take on mythology, where the mortal and the divine collide in unexpected and often hilarious ways, challenging Dhruv to find his own redemption and bring fulfillment to his life's story...

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.

There is a special allure to FANTASY that draws the weak of heart to indulge in fanciful delusions. He was not much different from most who had succumbed. Every day, immersing himself in a world that could never be. Hopelessly addicted to a false reality to run away from his own. Online, he met others much like him. They too had grown tired of the real world and fled into the ones they concocted in their imaginations. Together, they put together a world - a FANTASY of their own making. Unbeknownst to them, much like with fictional characters bound by tropes they so love, they'd soon be met with a similar fate. On one viciously hot summer morning, she awoke with a shock. Sweat running down her back, her eyes quickly scanned her surroundings. Trees, grass, and a bright blue sky. The sound of insects chirping about and animals crying in the distance. The sun burned at the skin on her cheek. "What?" She muttered, confused. Her eyes eventually were drawn to a corner of her vision where a transparent screen manifested to meet her gaze. The words written on the screen were plain and simple. QUEST ACQUIRED: Deny their FANTASY. You will be rewarded for every step of progress you make.
