The blood red moon hung high,casting long shadow across broken tower and charred mountain. The world was in ruins. Screams echoed in the distance. A dark figure stood of the center of it all, surrounded by thousands of defeated warriors heros, kings, gods...all fallen.
His name was feared by every living soul.
Valdran Nox-The Dragon God's Heir.
The final boss. The villain that no one could defeat.
Ryu stared at the screen.jaw clenched, Controller shaking in his hand.
"Again..." he muttered."The boss is actually unbeatable".
This was the 37th time he'd lost to Valdran in the game Eclipse Era,and every time,the outcome was the same. Armies fell. Heros failed. Even the chosen Dragon slayer needed a secret ending just to survive.
And still...Kaito couldn't help but admire him.
Not the destruction, but the pain hidden beneath. Valdran wasn't just a monster. He was a tragic soul with a dark past a fallen heir, betrayed by his family,cursed by a power he never asked for.
A Villain crafted by fate itself.
"If i were him". Ryu whispered, eyes glowing in the light og the screen,"I would chang everything..."
CRACK!
A sudden bold of lighting lit up the room.The power went out.Darkness.
And then...
[SYSTEM ERROR:CROSS-WORLD INITIALIZATION COMPLETE]
[Welcome,Heir of Flames.Lading Dragon Code...]
Pail. Blinding,burning pain. His chest felt like it was tearing open.
Ryu tried to scream but his voice was gone.
When he awoke, the air was cold and heavy with the scent of rain and stone. He lsy on satin sheets beneath s canopy bed,inside aroom too drand to be his.
He sat up..and froze.
There,in the mirror across the room.Stood a boy with silver hair and crimson eyes.A thin scare ran across his jaw. And glowing on his collsrbone was s mark shaped like a dragon's eye.
Valdran.
He was Valdran now.
"No...this isn't a dream."
His heard pounded.
Memories came floating in,but they weren't this.
A father's disgust. A mother's silence.
A younger sister cring behind a door.
Accusations,lies.
Rage.
One month. That's all the time he had until the day Valdran was thrown out of his family,cast into the streets to rot,and forgotten by the world.
"No.Not this time."
He clenched his first.
[DRAGON CODE SYSTEM INITIALIZING..]
Aglowing interface appeared before him. The same one from the game..but defferent. It was real now.
[Your fate as a villain has been confirmed.]
[Would you like to resist destiny?]
YES

He didn't hesitate.
"yes"
[ You have chosen to defy the timeline. The Dragon God's power will now awaken.]
[ WARNING:The path is full of horror,war, betral, and irreversible change.]
[New Quest Unlocked : Fall of the house of Nox.
Footsteps approached. A knock at the door." Valdran,"cane a cold voice "The family council has summoned you."
He stood slowly,wrapping himself in the black coat laid across the bed.
As he reachead for the sword resting beside the door, he heard a strange voice..deep and echoinh.
"Ah...so my heir finally walks awake."
The blade oulsed red.
His dragon power stirred for the first time.
And so,began the rebirth of the Villain.
