I was never a villain (Completed)

The world needs a savior, but they've already armed the villain.History remembers Nicholas as the Shadow Alchemist-the monster who poisoned a kingdom. But history is written by the corrupt. For ten years, his dark towers didn't spread death; they filtered the toxic rot caused by the King's greed. To save his people from civil war, Nicholas fakes his death and vanishes into exile, proudly wearing the mantle of a monster. From toxic swamps to cosmic threats, he must secretly mend a dying world that is actively hunting him down. He doesn't need their praise. He only needs them to survive.
