Ascension Of The Villain

In a world where villains are crafted, not born, Vyan's life takes a detour from dull to downright dramatic faster than he can say "abracadabra." Meet Vyan, the most ordinary knight in the realm, with all the magical prowess of a damp sock. Loyalty? He's got it in spades. Betrayal? Well, that's the surprise twist in his not-so-fairy-tale life. Framed and forsaken, Vyan is left with nothing but a grudge and some pretty gnarly scars, courtesy of his once-master, Iyana. Oh, did he mention she is the daughter of a marquess and the object of his unrequited affection? Talk about adding insult to injury. Just when he is ready to unleash his inner berserker, a butler comes along with news that makes his hair stand on end: Vyan is the last heir of the Grand Duke's mage dynasty! With power crackling at his fingertips and more mana than he can shake a wand at, Vyan is ready to show the world what happens when you underestimate the underdog. Will Vyan rise from the ashes like a phoenix, or will he crash and burn like a fire-breathing chicken? There's only one way to find out.

One Chance

Althea glided into her office, her demeanor as frosty as a winter morning, fully prepared to face Vyan. Instead, she was greeted by his overly enthusiastic, golden retriever of an aide.

"Where is Vyan?" she demanded the moment she crossed the threshold.

Clyde shot up from his seat with the precision of a wind-up toy, executing an overly dramatic bow. "Good afternoon, Your Imperial Highness!"

"Where is Vyan?" she repeated, her tone sharper.

"His Grace went out to get some fresh air," Clyde replied, his smile widening as if he had just delivered the most delightful news.

"I can imagine why he would need that. Being trapped in a meeting with those greedy, selfish people for two hours—ugh. It must have been suffocating."

Clyde nodded vigorously. "Indeed, quite suffocating it was. Anyway, it has been a while since we last met," he said, gulping audibly, "Althea."
