"Aspiring to be a hero is an admirable goal. But be careful who you wish to be a hero towards...my child..."
Aaron was someone who had lost everyone and everything in life...all due to his misplaced ideals.
For him who had nothing to live for...a gift..or perhaps a curse was placed on his soul. He was reincarnated into a fantasy game called "Unkept promise" as an ordinary boy.
However, this game was filled with tragedy, and certain doom awaited not only him but the entirety of the world. And so he decided to save the world...not for the ideals he had abandoned...but simply for his own survival. Or so he thought.

By Day and by Night
Through the darkness, the computer screen illuminated the pale skin of Adelae's face around the black mask. Scrolling through the submitted questions, she came across one that made her smile. "Dear Lady Shade," She read aloud to herself. "Why did you choose to be a villain instead of a hero?" She chuckled, shaking her head at the simple, loaded question, before selecting it and opening the page to write a reply. "Hello Blogger KittyStan41. I bet you're expecting the classic tragic backstory in response to this question." she typed. " Dead parents, treated like trash as a kid, and it all came to a choice between rising to defeat my inner demons or succumbing to them. Well, my real answer is possibly something you haven't considered about the world of Heroes and Villains. Answer this for me, what is the goal of a hero? To make the world a better place, perhaps? No, dear KittyStan41. The classic goals of the Hero might seem epic and noble, but in the end it all comes down to stopping the Villain. What kind of life is that, when your only goals derive from the actions of someone else? Your whole life is used up as a preventative measure. Now does that sound like a good way to live?

Shadow of the Returned
When the endless Nightmare finally collapsed, Ashen believed he had won. He had slain the last of the dream gods, torn himself free of a realm that fed on fear, and wished only for one thing: to go home. But the world he returns to is nothing like the one he left behind. Centuries have passed, the cities have fallen into ruin, and the land itself is being consumed by a spreading mist that carries living shadows. Humanity survives behind broken walls, haunted by the creatures that once belonged only to dreams. They speak in whispers about the Returned, warriors who came back from the Nightmare changed, powerful, and cursed. Ashen is one of them. To the people he is a weapon, to the Dominion he is a threat, and to the growing darkness that infects the waking world he is something even worse - a seed. With Mira, a healer who still believes in light even when surrounded by ruin, Ashen begins to face what he has become: a man caught between saving what remains of humanity and destroying it. As the line between dream and reality fades, he must decide whether he will fight the darkness within him or finally surrender to it.
Book One: Rise of the King
What can I say? This has been a labour of love for me. Our hero isn't a hero on purpose. He's in the wrong place at the right time. He's just trying to survive in a world he doesn't belong to. When the time comes and someone has to step up to help innocent victims of war and slavery, he can't say no. Not because he thinks he can change something, but because he knows nothing will ever change if NOone stands up.Complete

The Lord of Chaos is Born
He was born at the bottom of society, with no name and no status... yet he rose through blood and sweat to become one of the Twelve Pillars, the true leader among them, the hero's closest ally, and the first shield against the Demon King. But in the final war... everyone fell. The heroes, the chosen, even those said to be the pinnacle of humanity. Only he stood until the end, burning his life away, wielding forbidden arts, and severing the Demon King's head at the cost of his own life. And in his last breaths... he felt no regret. Instead, he finally understood the truth: Everything had been a play written by the hand of fate, and all the "heroes" were nothing but puppets hiding ugliness beneath a mask of hope. When he opened his eyes again... he found himself back on the day he entered the academy! But this time... he was no longer a weak boy. In this life, he would not follow fate. He would not be the shadow of the so-called hero. This time... he would write his own story, even if it meant breaking laws, crushing heroes, and tearing apart the very threads of destiny! ____ Author:Sir
