Inheriting the Void

He did not cross worlds as a chosen hero. He was reborn—crying, helpless, and human. In his second life, he tried to be good. He protected others, trained his power, and believed effort could change fate. For a time, the world rewarded him with warmth, comrades, and a future worth dreaming of. Then it took everything back. His family was erased, his name condemned, and the very people he saved branded him a monster. The power he awakened was not evil—but fear twisted it into sin. He did not fall because of hatred. He fell because being a hero changed nothing. So he stopped trying to save the world. Reborn as a man, broken as a hero, he chose the role the world feared most. Not a demon. Not a king. A villain who remembers what it meant to be human. This time, he will not beg for justice. He will be it.
