Ezra Veyne was just an ordinary reader. A fan of Chronicles of the Eternal Throne, a novel where fate is absolute, heroes rise, and villains fall.
Then he died.
And woke up as Calveros Nacht, the novel’s greatest villain—a warlord fated to die at the hands of the so-called hero, Aurelian Veris.
At first, Ezra thinks he can use his knowledge of the story to survive. He has a status window, just like every noble in this world. His system is normal.
Or at least, it should be.
Then he notices it.
A hidden stat that flickers in and out of existence. [Sanity: ???]
A system warning that appears when no one else is watching. [Correction Pending…]
And worst of all—Aurelian Veris isn’t acting like the hero he remembers.
Their paths were never supposed to cross this early.
The academy was never supposed to summon them for an emergency.
And a student was never supposed to die before the story even began.
Ezra thought he had time.
Now, fate itself is breaking.
The world isn’t just resisting his existence—it’s trying to erase him.
But if he is going to be erased, he refuses to go down as a forgotten mistake.
If the world wants a villain, he’ll give it one.
Even if it means tearing reality apart with him.
