Glass Heart Syndrome

[Content Warning: Dark themes, violence, psychological manipulation]
❝Being kind in a cruel world is like bringing a flower to a knife fight.❞
Eren Valen died on Earth believing in the good in people. Too bad his second chance at life didn't come with a warning label.
Reborn into Ezura, a realm where magic flows like water and power corrupts like poison, Eren's pure heart makes him the perfect target. As an apprentice mage with stars in his eyes and trust in his soul, he dreams of becoming the hero in a world that has no use for them.
But Ezura doesn't reward the pure-it devours them.
When his faith in humanity is shattered by a betrayal that leaves him bleeding out in a ditch, something inside him breaks. Or maybe, something awakens. Gone is the boy who wanted to save everyone. In his place rises someone who understands the truth: if the world wants a villain, he'll give them a masterpiece.
Armed with magic, fueled by spite, and backed by a brilliant mind he'd forgotten he had, Eren begins his metamorphosis. Those who took advantage of his kindness? They're about to learn why you shouldn't leave your victims breathing.
But every time he stares into the abyss of his own making, echoes of his former self whisper from the depths. And in quiet moments, when the mask slips, one question burns:
Is he becoming stronger, or is he just better at breaking?
