I am Chosen Villain

The wind howled across the nameless mountain, its sharp whispers threading through the trees like the murmurs of unseen gods. Gu Tianxian stood unmoving, his crimson eyes locked onto the vast sky above.

A ripple passed through the heavens. A shift. A warning.

Then, it appeared.

A golden rift split the night sky. From within, radiant figures emerged—six celestial enforcers, clad in divine armor that shimmered with the essence of fate itself.

Their leader, a towering being wrapped in golden flame, gazed down with cold detachment. His voice echoed across the mountain like a decree carved into reality itself.

"You are an anomaly. A deviation from the ordained path. You do not belong in this world."

Gu Tianxian's smirk deepened. He could feel it—the immense power radiating from them. The weight of the heavens pressing against his very existence, rejecting him.

"And yet," he murmured, "I exist."

The celestial leader's expression did not change. "Not for long."

The six enforcers raised their weapons. Divine spears, swords woven from starfire, and chains laced with celestial law—weapons meant to purge all that defied fate.

A notification appeared before Gu Tianxian's eyes:

[Mission Updated: Defy the Heavens]

[Survive the first judgment of the celestial enforcers.]

The mountain trembled as the first enforcer moved.

A streak of golden fire tore through the air, aimed directly at Gu Tianxian's heart.

He moved—not back, but forward.

With a flicker, his body blurred, vanishing from sight just as the fire struck the ground behind him, shattering the mountain peak.

A laugh slipped from his lips. "Not bad."

The enforcers did not hesitate. A second one descended, swinging a blade laced with the energy of cause and effect—a weapon that ensured no enemy could escape their destined end.

But Gu Tianxian was not bound by fate.

His dagger whispered into existence, and with an effortless turn, he redirected the blade.

A distortion rippled through space.

For a split second, the celestial enforcer staggered.

Gu Tianxian capitalized on it instantly. His dagger carved through divine armor, and for the first time, a being of heaven bled.

The heavens shuddered.

The remaining five enforcers hesitated.

The leader narrowed his eyes. "Impossible."

Gu Tianxian flicked the blood from his blade, his expression unreadable. "You should have sent more."

The sky above cracked.

Far beyond the mortal realm, the Lord of Fate's gaze turned sharp. The golden rivers of destiny writhed, struggling against a force they had never accounted for.

This was no mere anomaly.

This was an invader. A defiler of providence itself.

The battle was no longer about balance.

It was war.

And Gu Tianxian… was only getting started.
