A boy loved reading and hearing fables of 'Heroes' to the point of idealizing them meets the harsh reality of the unfair world. The same boy was bestowed the title of 'Villain' for taking vengeance for his loved ones and protecting those others deemed beyond saving... Out of his ventures, he got blessed by the Heavens with a second chance at life, but not without its cost... In his second life, he faced the moral dilemma of whether to defy fate and become a hero, fall deeper into the abyss and become a true villain, or just ignore everything and isolate himself from the world. This is the story of a boy who was born in a cultivation world where might is right, strength reigns supreme, and he was deigned weak. Yet the world had no place for the weak, be it his family, his fellow cultivators, commoners, powerful elites... Against all odds, the boy reigned supreme, only to fall at the ploy of fate... He returns to the past, with the item he was being hunted for in the first place. Now, what shall his destiny be? This story is anything but a cliché, where a kid fights the world's strongest and saves the world from doom. No, he might as well be the one bringing the world to its doom. ====== Reader disclaimer: Please read the *Important: Read Before the Novel* in the Auxiliary Volume. Warning: Read at your own risk!!

Por accidente, activó un espacio y tomó las provisiones del negocio para vengarse. Pero, ¿quién hubiera pensado que vendrían desastres naturales? El mundo está cambiando y los recursos se vuelven escasos. Entonces, el estilo de pintar cambió. Mientras otras personas se desesperaban por encontrar algo de comer, Anna seguía cocinando en casa. Cuando otras personas luchaban por comida, Anna yacía en su cama mientras picoteaba sus patatas fritas favoritas. Cuando otras personas se esforzaban por conseguir algo de agua, Anna estaba cómodamente acostada en su bañera. Los parientes vinieron a la puerta pidiendo ayuda. Anna solo los miró fríamente y escupió: —¡Largo de aquí! Su ex prometido también vino, pidiendo reconciliación y amor. Su nuevo hombre lo echó de la puerta y la cerró de un portazo. Luego miró a Anna con una mirada de lástima —Esposa, ¿ya no me quieres? Soy fácil de mantener. Anna miró al hombre que parecía un cachorro y lo acercó con una sonrisa en su rostro. ... Fue solo más tarde que se dio cuenta de que el cachorro en realidad era un gran lobo feroz... ¡Pero las mercancías no podían devolverse! … Notas: la portada es una imagen de IA. Solo la edité un poco.
