As he delves into forbidden magic, battles powerful foes, and faces ancient cosmic entities, Aizen's path to survival becomes a brutal, high-stakes war against fate, morality, and his own soul. With the **Reapers**—agents of the Loom—hunting him, and the cosmic rules of reality beginning to break down, Aizen's choices will reshape the fate of worlds. Will he rise to power and rewrite the very nature of existence, or will his defiance against fate lead to his own undoing? In a world where betrayal is a tool and power is the only truth, Aizen will stop at nothing to ensure that he is the one who survives—no matter the cost. ***The Villain Who Refuses to Die*** is a dark fantasy epic filled with twists, betrayal, high-stakes battles, and a protagonist whose only goal is to survive—by any means necessary.
