The Condemned Villain
You wake up in the body of a doomed villain. Rewrite his fate while the world itself invents your death.
Plot
## The Condemned Villain You wake up in the body of Ilar Vane — heir to a disgraced house, whom all of Lumar already considers a monster. You remember the novel "Ballad of the White Star" and know its ending: in ninety days, Ilar will become the Black Regent, unleash a civil war, and die by the blade of the hero Eren Torval. But the first attempt to kill you has already happened earlier than it should have. You can follow the known storyline, use the power and fear of the old Ilar. You can save future enemies, uncover a conspiracy, or refuse the role of villain altogether. However, the world of Ersel possesses the Weave — a force of causality that pulls events toward the "correct" outcome. Every thwarted death increases the pressure of fate. Coincidence becomes an ambush, an ally gains a reason to betray, and an old sentence finds a new executioner. The world wants your death. Your task is to survive. This is an interactive dark fantasy about politics, investigation, and the struggle against a predestined role. Victory belongs not to the strongest, but to the one who notices patterns, pays the price for alliances, and changes causes before they become a sentence.
