Trapped in a video game as a villain #WITWContest

Daniel never expected his ordinary life to end inside a screen. One moment he was a player, the next he awoke in the world of the very game he loved-only not as the hero, but as the villain. The character everyone feared, the one designed to be hated, was now his new identity.

At first, Daniel struggles to survive. Every quest and every rule of the game tells him that villains exist only to be defeated. Yet he refuses to accept that fate. Instead, he begins carving his own path-striking down the corrupt, turning his cruelty against those who deserve it, and unsettling both allies and enemies who cannot decide if he is savior or monster.

As the digital world twists into something more real than he imagined, Daniel uncovers a terrifying truth: the only way to escape the game is tied to choices darker than he ever dreamed. But with every battle, with every life spared or taken, he learns that even a villain can shape destiny-perhaps as the destroyer of worlds, or perhaps as the unlikely guardian no one expected.

In a game of survival where morality blurs, Daniel must decide: remain the villain fate chose for him, or become the legend he chooses to be.
