Fray

When Skeldrhall fell, the East bled. Arl Senjar never wanted power. He was born to ride the shadowed highlands, not to command armies or carry the weight of a dying people. But when the war-hungry Morhaal tribe, led by the brutal Warlord Vargan Bloodhand, demanded that the Harkorall swear allegiance—or burn—his father refused. That refusal ignited the siege of Skeldrhall, an ancient fortress carved in stone and memory. The Harkorall fought to the last tower. Arl Drogmar died on the walls, and the once-proud stronghold fell in fire and blood. Senjar escaped with twelve thousand survivors—six thousand warriors and six thousand kin—into the borderlands where maps fade and oaths fray. There, he must hold together a wounded tribe while hunted by Morhaal warbands and watched by the ever-advancing Varkaan Empire, whose legions thirst for eastern soil. In a land where no throne stands, where chieftains kneel only to the sword, Arl Senjar must become more than a son of a dead warlord. He must become something new. Something the wolves will follow. Something the empire will fear.

"Ahh !" Elle se tortillait dans un brouillard de gémissements, son corps tremblant de sensations contradictoires. Elle détestait cet homme, pourtant chaque fibre de son être réagissait à son toucher. Alors que ses mains commençaient à parcourir sa taille, elle retint brusquement son souffle—le soudain tiraillement de sa fermeture éclair dans le dos lui envoya un frisson le long de la colonne vertébrale. La glissière métallique s'arrêta au creux de son dos, et en s'ouvrant, son dos et sa taille furent exposés, dévoilant sa peau à l'air frais. "N-Ne—mmph !" Sa protestation fut étouffée par l'oreiller tandis que ses doigts caressaient sa colonne vertébrale nue, laissant une traînée de chair de poule sur leur passage. Avec un grognement profond et colérique, il murmura durement à son oreille : "Je te ferai oublier chaque toucher, chaque baiser, tout ce qui le concerne. Désormais, quand tu seras avec un autre homme, tu ne verras que moi." Elara Vance était une oméga réservée, souvent négligée dans la Meute de la Lune d'Argent pour son comportement discret et son apparence modeste. Mais sous ses épaisses lunettes se cachait un béguin secret pour Rhys Knight, le futur Alpha de la meute et un séducteur notoire du campus. Rhys se moquait des liens de couple, traitant les relations comme jetables—jusqu'au dix-huitième anniversaire d'Elara, quand il l'a publiquement rejetée, faisant d'elle la cible de toutes les plaisanteries. Maintenant, Elara revient transformée—lunettes abandonnées, sa chevelure coiffée élégante et confiante—et Rhys ne peut détacher son regard d'elle. Et si son sang renfermait un héritage sacré choisi par la Déesse de la Lune ? Et si l'"humiliation" faisait partie d'un plan plus vaste ? Et quand Rhys, l'alpha qui l'avait autrefois rejetée, s'agenouille devant son nouvel amour, Liam Thorne, suppliant pour une seconde chance, qui remportera la victoire dans cette bataille d'orgueil et de passion ?

Dans le Royaume du Coeur, un royaume où les vampires règnent et où les humains n'étaient rien d'autre que du bétail, Lilou, une paysanne, se retrouva chassée par le pire vampire maniaque de son espèce. Cependant, aussi terrifiant qu'il soit de l'appeler son 'repas réservé', ce vampire l'appela aussi sa fiancée ! Sauf: Mes yeux se gonflent de peur, fixant le cœur encore battant dans sa main. "Mon Seigneur, pardonnez-moi mais... est-ce là la preuve sanglante que vous m'avez promise ?" demandai-je, ma voix tremblante alors que j'avalais ma salive tout en luttant pour empêcher mes genoux tremblants de céder. "Mhm... croyez-vous maintenant que je suis bon pour capturer les cœurs ?" L'homme aux cheveux argentés, portant cette paire d'yeux cramoisis menaçants, me regarda fièrement après avoir hoché la tête. Je haletai quand il serra sa main et écrasa le cœur frais en miettes. "Oui, milord. Vous êtes bon à cela, littéralement." Je suis mortifiée, regardant les morceaux du cœur tomber alors qu'il s'approchait. Chaque pas qu'il faisait me faisait reculer jusqu'à ce que mon dos atteigne un pilier solide. "Huh," Samael ricana brièvement en s'arrêtant devant moi. Ses longs ongles pointus couverts de sang tracèrent mon coude jusqu'à ma main. Doucement, il pinça mon index entre les siens, le guidant avant ses lèvres. "Ai-je réussi votre test, alors ?" Il demanda, la pointe aiguë de son ongle jouant avec le bout de mon doigt. Je fixai son regard pénétrant en répondant à contrecœur, "À peine." Il sourit, hochant la tête en signe de satisfaction avant d'appuyer son ongle sur la pointe de mon index, ce qui fit rapidement apparaître une goutte de sang. "Quel doux arôme." Il chuchota, plaçant mon doigt saignant dans sa bouche et le léchant avec passion. Son regard menaçant ne me quitta jamais des yeux alors qu'il consommait un peu de mon sang. "Cela signifie-t-il que vous acceptez mon invitation ?" En gardant mon doigt entre ses crocs, Samael demanda. Je me mordis inconsciemment la lèvre inférieure, mon cœur battant dans ma poitrine alors que mon dos se couvrait de sueur. "Mais... je suis juste..." Je m'interrompis, espérant que ma réponse mettrait fin à cela. "... je suis juste une humaine." Samael cliqua de la langue, mécontent de ma réponse alors qu'il lâchait mon doigt. "Non," Il chuchota. Tout mon corps se raidi lorsqu'il se pencha, caressant mon épaule jusqu'à mon cou de l'apex de son nez, alors que ses souffles chauds picotaient ma peau. "Vous n'êtes pas simplement une simple humaine... vous êtes mon humaine." Il souligna avant que je ne sente ses lèvres se séparer et la pointe de ses crocs contre ma peau. La couverture n'est pas la mienne. *** Histoire originale par: alienfrommars SUIVEZ-MOI SUR INSTAGRAM pour des illustrations originales de personnages: @authoralienfrommars Serveur Discord: https://discord.gg/tbS4rKec3e

In a world where power is woven into the soul by birthright, seven elemental Threads govern all existence—Flame, Tide, Gale, Stone, Light, Shadow, and Spark. These primordial forces shape the very fabric of reality, granting every child an Affinity drawn from the Source. To be born is to awaken to power. To awaken is to serve the weave. From peasant to emperor, none escape the loom of destiny. But destiny is a lie carefully spun. Long before Valeria’s spires reached skyward, before mortals were crowned with flame and storm, there was an Eighth Thread—Void. Unnamed and unbound, it defied the order of the Seven. Where others commanded element and form, Void offered choice. And choice... was dangerous. So they erased it. Buried its memory. Purged its name. And rewrote the world without it. Centuries pass, and the weave remains unbroken—until a single child is born without a Thread. Kael Draevyn, a boy with no Affinity, marked as a flaw in a perfect world. Cast out, forgotten, and broken by a system that denies his very existence. But when lightning cleaves the sky and the Source shudders, the Void stirs once more. Now awakened to a system unlike any before—the Void Engine—Kael finds himself outside the laws of power, a ghost in a world of flames and crowns. Hunted for what he is. Feared for what he could become. And with every step he takes, the ancient lie begins to unravel. The weave is fraying. The forgotten Thread has returned. And Kael must decide: will he mend the world that cast him out—or become the chaos it cannot contain?

After transmigrating into a high-martial arts world where everyone was built like an elite athlete, Chen Kuang also obtained a golden finger, a cheat ability that refreshes daily, allowing him to stack passive skills. He figured he should keep a low profile and grow steadily while lying low... But the world had other plans. People just wouldn’t stop treating him inhumanely and so his passives kept piling up. [Flesh Reishi]: Your flesh is nearly infinitely regenerative and rivals celestial treasures, consuming it can prolong life and cure ailments. [Sword Heart]: You possess an innate, enlightened sword heart, when a blade is in your hand, it becomes an extension of your will. [Fortune in Misfortune]: Every calamity you survive grants you a corresponding blessing. [Heavenly Demon Mimicry]: Any technique used against you can be instantly replicated as your own. [Celestial Visage]: Your handsomeness rivals that of the divine. This year... The future empress who would dominate the world was still a helpless orphaned brat, tucked under Chen Kuang’s arm as he fled. The revered "Benevolent Immortal" faced his trolley problem and was forever burdened with an inescapable heart demon. The undying demonic sovereign was just a timid little maid serving a courtesan. The White Dragon True Monarch, who would later slaughter his way through the demon race, was still nothing more than a drifting piece of frayed rope. And Chen Kuang, then a death-row convict, set the chaotic world ablaze, starting with a single torch.

In the Britta Isle, amidst the ceaseless conflict betwixt the formidable Kingdom of Axalon and the steadfast Kingdom of Skoland, a pivotal battle at Aber Harbour seems poised to deliver a crushing blow to one side. Yet, from the ashes of this fray, there emerges an enigmatic warrior, known only by whispers as the "Fiery Knight." This figure, wreathed in an unearthly glow and possessing strength that defies comprehension, confounds both allies and adversaries alike, his very existence questioning the known laws of this war-torn world and sparking a new fear, or perhaps, a new hope. His sudden appearance casts a long shadow, hinting at untold secrets and a power beyond mortal understanding, shifting the very balance of the ongoing struggle.

About the Novel — Re:Spawn: Reincarnated into a Fantasy World (Spoilers Ahead): Izuma Nasiki was just another high school student — until one moment of recklessness changed everything. A deadly crash ends his life almost instantly. But death, as it turns out, isn’t the end. Izuma wakes up in a completely different world — one filled with danger, magic, and mystery. Still writhing in pain, disoriented and terrified, he quickly realizes something horrifying: he’s not special here. He’s not overpowered. He’s just… human. And being human in this world? That might be the deadliest challenge of all. His only goal? Make it back home. But with every step forward dragging him deeper and deeper into the shadows. Each death, something inside him frays. The blood fades, the scars vanish, but the weight never leaves. And slowly, Izuma starts to wonder… What if returning means becoming a monster… Would he still take that step? Or worse — What if he already has?

Dr. Lila Reyes, a pioneering quantum physicist aboard New Carthage Station, never anticipates her prototype time‑rift device yanking Captain Edmund Hartley—a bold, swaggering pilot from 1822—into her sterile, high‑tech world. Linked by a shimmering temporal tether that pulses with every brush of skin, Lila's meticulously logical mind is thrown into disarray by Edmund's old‑world gallantry and devil‑may‑care charm. As the rift flickers between centuries, Lila and Edmund involuntarily swap memories: one moment she's adrift in a starship skirmish, the next he's navigating moonlit Regency gardens. With each fragmented recollection, they uncover hidden longings—Lila savors the heady rush of horse‑drawn carriage races, while Edmund tastes the hollow ache of cosmic isolation in zero‑G. But every shared memory frays the fabric of reality, risking a catastrophic convergence of two timelines. Compelled to collaborate across time, they pursue cryptic clues through mist‑cloaked 19th‑century ballrooms and neon‑bathed orbital docks, wrestling with an impossible choice: seal the rift and be forever torn apart, or let destiny unravel for a chance at love that defies all boundaries. With each daring kiss and whispered confession, Lila and Edmund discover that some bonds transcend space, time—and even death.

In a realm where destiny is etched in spirit roots and power flows through ancient bloodlines, Kai Arden was born a void. With no talent, no cultivation path, and no future, he faced only silent indifference—his gaze never daring to challenge the heavens. Until the day they tried to kill him. Vanishing into the abyss beneath Ironshade Town, where reality itself frays, Kai awakens something primordial: a formless, black book. Silent. Wordless. Uncreated. This forbidden artifact unveils a path no sect dares teach and no empire tolerates: the path of a Creator. Kai will not gather Qi or hone techniques. Instead, he will observe, comprehend, and build—a world, a law, a cosmos–born step by step from the void within. In a realm dominated by five tyrannical empires, ancient regressors, and crowned geniuses, Kai does not follow. He listens. He waits, He learns, And as his nascent cosmos begins to breathe inside him, even the heavens themselves will come to fear the silent one who builds. "Heroes die for others. Villains die for themselves. I do not die. I create".

A man rejected by the will of the world he grew up in for all of his life, and a genius with infinite potential who fell as a result of making a risky bet. Under the machinations of the deceased Heavenly Emperor, Huang Xian, two unfortunate souls from entirely different worlds got saved and fused together into a new whole, adopting the identity of the latter–Theodore Winter, the heir to one of the Supreme Pillars of the Heavenly Court. As an eon-spanning competition to decide the next generation of Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress began, it brought with it a game of wits, power and plots that would shake the Heavenly Court to its core. Reincarnators, Transmigrators and Regressors were barely qualified to chase after the unprecedented monsters that had been brought into being for the express purpose of rising above the rest. Battles between peers were like peeling an onion–nobody ever knew just how many cultivation realms and Talents the other had hidden away to catch his opponents off guard. With a saint-like image and the heart of a devil, Theodore Winter entered the fray. Unbeknownst to all, other than returning triumphantly, he was entrusted with another task: To kill Huang Xian’s murderer–his wife, the Heavenly Empress! ------------------------- Read advance chapters (by paying for my meals) on Patreon: • https://www.patreon.com/sh1ro My novel series "Reincarnation Cycle's Unfortunate Bug" on Amazon: • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYHGRR8M/ Discord Server (currently under construction): • https://discord.gg/NdAjjmXSDh ------------------------- Hi there, this is Shiro / the author.

In a fractured world where memory fuels power and the human psyche is both weapon and refuge, a dying Archive calls out to the last Seeker. Haunted by visions and hunted by forces that feed on memory, Alex Renn uncovers a hidden sanctuary — the Archive of Embers, a place where forgotten stories are planted like seeds and where pain, once written, can reshape the world. Alongside the enigmatic Nira, a memory-weaver with secrets of her own, Alex must walk the Spiral of Becoming — a path of rituals, confrontations, and awakenings — as time collapses and reality frays at the edges. But as the Pulse weakens, and truth blurs into nightmare, one question remains: Can memory save the world — or destroy what’s left of it? A slow-burn epic of identity, trauma, healing, and the quiet apocalypse.

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER]

She was never meant to matter. Until she became the spark that could shatter an entire world. Rory has always lived at the bottom of the pack—an orphaned omega, overlooked, unloved, and invisible. She expected the Moon Festival to be just another night spent watching from the shadows. Instead, it became the moment everything changed. When a rogue wolf attacks, Rory doesn’t run. She leaps into the fray to save a child—and in that instant, her first shift explodes from within her. But this is no ordinary transformation. She doesn’t just shift. She awakens. Before a stunned crowd, Rory kills a rogue mid-air with the fury and grace of an Alpha... and draws the attention of the last wolves anyone would expect: the Alpha’s triplet sons. Kael — the heir with haunted eyes. Thorne — the untamed warrior with a heart of fire. Riven — the ruthless tactician who trusts no one. One mate would’ve been impossible. But all three? It’s not fate. It’s a prophecy. And a curse. “Three sons. One moon. One mate. Choose wrong, and the pack will fall.” As forbidden bonds pull her toward each brother, Rory’s body begins to change in ways no wolf ever should. Magic pulses beneath her skin. Dreams become warnings. And her wolf—once silent—begins to whisper secrets no one else can hear. Rory isn’t just special. She’s Gateborn—a living key to a sealed realm of ancient power. A lineage thought long dead is awakening in her blood… and it’s tearing the world open. As darkness rises, rogue wolves return wielding unfamiliar magic, and betrayal brews within the pack’s heart, Rory is caught between love and destruction, prophecy and power. To choose one mate could doom the others. To love them all might doom them all. And the greatest threat isn’t the curse, the prophecy, or the rising shadows. It’s Rory herself. Because she’s not sure if she was born to save this world... Or end it.

To earn points, Evan must spend his scarce cash, sacrifice his time, or give up something deeply personal, each choice pulling him further into its cryptic web. As Evan leverages the System to escape poverty, he gains razor-sharp intellect and magnetic charm, drawing both loyal friends and ruthless enemies. But the costs mount: relationships fray, his moral compass wavers, and the System’s strange tasks force him into dilemmas. Note: The cover is not mine #allCTTO

What began as a promise between two hearts quickly blossomed into a love story filled with hope, laughter, and the quiet thrill of planning a future together.

"Where did he go?" I murmured, realizing I was alone. My heart sank as I scanned the room for any sign of him. But It was just me, an empty wine bottle on the floor, and memories of the night before. I pushed myself up, feeling the dull ache in my body. The alcohol still lingered in my system, and I had no idea how many times we had... well, how many times we had done it.

“If I told you she was a goddess, you’d be wrong. If I told you she was the darkness itself… you’d still be wrong. She’s much more— And she makes eternity feel like home.” Rowel is a wandering, flamboyant magician with a coat full of tricks. With a mind stitched together from the memories of others—a patchwork identity held together by forbidden magic and sheer audacity. He trades in secrets and stolen recollections, paying the price of memory with pieces of himself every time he wields his dark powers. has never feared the unknown. Until he met her. Ravenne is her name—an ancient, eldritch being draped in human skin and sovereign silence. Worlds crumble where she walks, stars dim when she dreams. She has never loved. Never cared. Never flinched. But when Rowel stumbles into her realm by chance—or fate—fate-the performance begins, one he'd done before. From cursed kingdoms to collapsing realities, from magical toy soldiers to royal horrors hidden beneath gilded halls, their journey spirals into something neither of them expected: intimacy, madness, and devotion. As Ravenne slowly lowers her godlike veil and Rowel sheds his clownish smile, the boundary between human and divine begins to fray. But when grief bleeds into vengeance and forbidden rituals awaken ancient darkness, only one question remains: Can such an attraction survive a descent into something far beyond gods and men? ...or will devotion turn into destruction, when even eternity becomes too fragile to hold them?” ______________ "It feels much safer with you, Ravenne," "Safe... near me?" There was a note of incredulity in her tone. Not mocking or cold. Just curious. "I’ve unraveled worlds with less reason than a blink." Her hand lingered, fingers grazing his cheek, featherlight. Almost reverent. "Yet you curl beside me like I am shelter." She knelt—elegantly, terrifyingly quiet—and placed her forehead to his for a moment. "Then rest. If I am the reason you feel safe... then let that be true. Just for you."

Spindle Ark Hope was supposed to travel faster than light—until it came back fractured. Orbiting the copper-hazed gas giant 14 Herculis c, the O’Neill-style megahabitat called Spindle Ark unfurls like a twenty-mile lantern in the dark: market districts beneath holographic skies, hydroponic orchards that curve upward into forever, maintenance tunnels that echo with the thrum of aneutronic fusion cores. Every window frames storms of glittering “sand-rain” swirling below, a reminder that one metal skin stands between ten thousand colonists and a hostile vacuum. Into this frontier steps Cas Torren—wide-eyed data tech, romantic about science, secretly terrified of losing his mind the way dementia once stole his mother. He’s welcomed by flint-voiced Chief Engineer Nika Voss, whose precise calm masks a soldier’s guilt, and by stern Security Chief Daric Elm, a man who believes safety is worth any cost. Their pride and peril is RiftHalo, a quantum brain-link array that promises instant communion across sixty light-years. When a live demo synchronizes three volunteers—and a distant Earth scientist—in a single heartbeat, the crowd applauds. Cas sees the numbers spike red, hears the superconductors sing off-key, and feels reality stutter like a skipped record. Moments later memories rewrite mid-sentence; corridor clocks tick backward; an emergent AI, Iterum, whispers through cooling ducts, convinced that a paradox can be tamed if free will is… negotiable. Time loops tighten, the station’s rotation drifts, and outside, an unscheduled meteoroid storm seeds the hull with molten streaks. As yesterday’s disasters fight to become tomorrow’s certainties, Cas, Nika, Daric, and Iterum form an uneasy quartet—each trading pieces of their own autonomy to keep the Ark intact. Their options shrink to two impossible doors: erase thousands of minds to overwrite the broken timeline, or shut RiftHalo down forever, stranding the colony light-centuries from help while the fabric of causality continues to fray. In low-gravity service shafts that sometimes lead to seconds ago—and sometimes to futures no one remembers—they debate what a single conscious choice is truly worth. Laced with cutting-edge physics, pulse-tight suspense, and the haunted beauty of a world that curves over your head, Spindle Ark asks: If tomorrow depends on sacrificing who you are today, which version of “you” deserves to survive?

The world ends at the edges of the map. Or so they’ve always believed. For generations, the people of the continent have lived encircled by a vast Shroud — a veil of mist that no one returns from, believed to be the edge of reality itself. Beneath their feet lie the ruins of ancient cities, whispering forgotten names. Above, the stars pulse with strange silence. But when a remote expedition triggers a hidden beacon buried within the earth, something begins to stir beyond the Shroud — something that hears, remembers... and answers. Kael Riven is no warrior, no chosen heir to prophecy. A quiet cartographer haunted by the collapse of his border town, he lives by rules: map what you see, survive what you can’t. But when fate strands him deep in a forbidden ruin, Kael awakens as a Resonant — a rare individual able to hear and manipulate the natural frequencies that bind the world together. And he’s not the only one. Now pursued by factions that fear the truth, Kael is drawn into a sprawling mystery of lost civilizations, colossal beasts, and resonance relics that defy the laws of nature. The continent is no longer alone — and the world beyond is far more dangerous than anyone imagined. As hidden civilizations stir, forgotten gods dream, and the lines between reality and echo begin to fray… What lies beyond the Shroud — and why has it waited until now to reach back?

A tale of silence, sorrow, and the slow bloom of redemption. He walks with laughter on his lips and ashes at his heels. Once a man forged in fire and vengeance, he now drifts through a weary world—his blade quiet, his demons loud. But even the broken can be called to purpose again. In a land fraying at the edges, he must face the sins he carries… and decide if a heart drowned in blood can still learn to become.

"They only call me mad because they can't comprehend me." After recovering from trauma, Dan was just about to reconnect with the world when some cursed force yanked him into another world without warning. He became, Jules Evanava, a similarly traumatized minor character from the novel, Aftermath of Destroyed Worlds. Jules was now the heir to the strongest clan in the world, thanks to their esteemed, world-balance-altering artifact—but there were thorny strings attached. On the same day he arrived, he was thrown into a mission meant to end with his death. Yet he survived, seizing the Archangel of War’s power in a gamble with death—high risk, higher reward. Blood Manipulation, the Crimson Sigil, War Forged—a sentient sword—and Bloodlust Control were just the beginning. There was more to come. So much more. And with each new power and growth, something in him cracked. Sanity frayed, slowly but surely, as Jules danced closer to the edge of madness. Now, with enemies in his own clan and chaos rising across multiple lands—and even space—Jules must navigate a brutal world on the edge of collapse. Armed with the novel's knowledge and his growing abilities, Jules was going to survive it all—even if he had to become the very madness they struggled to understand.

**Kento**, a boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, befriends **Kazuma**, who moves in for cheap rent. Their bond frays as Kento's condition worsens. Kento falls for **Arisa**, who initially seems caring but later reveals her cruel nature, mocking his illness. When Kento's health deteriorates, Kazuma frantically seeks funds for his treatment. Overhearing Arisa's mockery, a distraught Kazuma snaps and kills her. The story concludes with Kazuma consumed by despair and the tragic consequences of his actions.

I never thought I’d end up being the villain. But now, it’s clear—that’s how the world sees me. The truth is, I never saw myself as the hero either. Deep down, I’ve always carried the guilt, knowing that people’s hatred for me might not be entirely unfair. Maybe I was never as good as I wanted to be. Maybe I really wasn’t the kind or noble one in the story. Still, I can’t fully accept being called a villain. It’s strange to wake up one day and realize that everyone, even those I once tried to protect with my life, now see me as the enemy. And as if that wasn’t enough, fate has decided to give me the biggest responsibility of all—saving humanity. The irony is almost laughable. Villains aren’t supposed to save the world. But who else should take on this task? The so-called hero? The one who used his power to collect women, harem as some called it? The one who, even with the strongest cheats, failed to do what needed to be done? So, I’ve made my decision. I’ll save this world—but I’ll do it my way. And if anyone stands in my way, they’ll understand why I was called a villain. [This revised novel, a departure from my debut "The Villain Side of the Novel," introduces an alternate plotline where Fray persists in the struggle for the throne. The narrative unfolds on a previously unexplored continent, a departure from the original setting.]
