Can't a villain have his own backstory? ⚔️

Chapter 0: Arc I - Regressive Reincarnator ⚔️

Regress, the power to go back in time,

Reincarnate, the power to reborn in the next life,

Those who have these two powers, wouldn't they be too overpowered?

Despite having those powers that everyone was envious of, to him, he has only one choice from the beginning.

To watch the people he love dies; and to live on a lone life.

At the end, whether it's regression or reincarnation, it's all just a curse;

A curse that chains itself to his being in the name of 'fate'.

Dragon slayer village.

It is a village that gathers strong warriors to train them to become even more powerful. It is a village that existed only in a legend as none of those who had gone looking for it, came back alive.

It was said to be a ghost village that devoured people's souls.

Once you stepped into the village, your soul will be devoured and it will stuck there forever, unable to return home. That was why many graves were seen a few miles away from the entrance of the village. It was dedicated to those who had their soul eaten.

That's what the legend said.

Was it true? If that's the case, then how did that legend come back to tell the tale? Did his soul fly off the grave or something?

Hah. Unbelievable.

"I mean, there's no way people would suddenly disappear after entering the village, right?"

"Yeah, I agree. Let's go and look for it together. I had a feeling that it's just a rumor created to find someone like us who's devoted into becoming stronger, ahahaha!!"

A pair of a young man and woman, who're in their 25s, continued to chat about the forbidden village, as they prepared to leave on a journey to become a strong warrior.

Dragon slayer village was their next stop. No matter how scary the rumor was, it was never to the point that it could shake these two's ambition.

And, that was the start of their devoted journey.

-

It had been two months since they had arrived at one of the forbidden region of Eastern continent, the Castle of Light.

It was a place with nothing but blocks of snow that covered the pathway.

Though, somehow, it looked so majestic as if it was a grave of some superior being.

The two couple then started to explore around the big white pebbles area.

Another week had past and they began to believe in the legend.

"Hey.. perhaps, the village is really just a legend? It's been so long since we got here and our foods are almost ran out. We can barely hang on for another couple of days!"

"Shut up." The woman shut the man who seemed to question her logical sense. "I'm sure it's designated like this for us to give up half way. But we're not going to! Because we'll become the strongest warriors of dragon slayer village!!"

Still, the lady believed in her judgement and was sure that some miracle would happen if they were to endure for a bit longer.

Efforts bring success!
