Reincarnated as the Last Villain

The holy city of Veyr had always been a place of silence and light.

Pilgrims came by the thousands.The sick walked in and danced out.Blind men saw.The dead… sometimes whispered.

At its center stood the Cathedral of Aethros, where a miracle-worker known only as the "White Flame" healed with a touch.

They said he bore no name.

They said his eyes burned gold.

And they said…he never slept.

Arrival in Veyr

Kael, Vaenira, and Nilo entered the city in disguise.

The Flame of Reclamation, hidden.

The people smiled, hopeful. But Kael saw it —the fear behind their joy.

No one left Veyr after being healed.Those who tried… were found later, eyes burned out.

And at the heart of it all — the White Flame.

First Glimpse

During a mass healing, Kael stood in the crowd.

The White Flame walked among the wounded, touching foreheads.

But when he passed Kael…

He paused.

No words.

Just a look.

And a faint smile.

As if saying:

"So we meet again."

Kael felt a sharp burn in his chest.

The Flame of Reclamation reacted.

This was no coincidence.

[Fragment Confirmed: Shard of Kael's Soul Detected]

The White Flame holds a fragment of Kael's soul: the Mercy Aspect.

It manifests as healing magic, empathy, and memory suppression.

The more it heals… the more control it takes.

The Confrontation

That night, Kael entered the cathedral alone.

The White Flame waited by the altar.

"You feel it, don't you?" he said. "The pull. The ache. We are one soul, Kael. But I chose peace. You chose power."

Kael stepped forward.

"You're enslaving them."

"I'm healing them."

"At the cost of their minds."

The Choice

The White Flame offered his hand.

"We don't have to fight. Rejoin me. Let us become one again — here, in this place of peace. No more war. No more fire."

Kael hesitated.

And then—

He saw a child in the shadows.

Eyes hollow.

Mouth stitched shut.

Saved, yes.But broken.

[Moral Choice Triggered]

🔥 Forcefully absorb the fragment. Take back Mercy and regain your soul — even if it destroys the White Flame.

🌙 Let him live. Leave him and protect the people — for now.

⚖ Try to merge willingly — but risk losing a part of yourself.

Kael whispered:

"I'm not here to be whole.I'm here to be true."

And with that, he drew the flame.

Golden fire surged, wrapping around the White Flame.

He screamed — not in pain, but in sorrow.

Then…

silence.

When it ended, Kael stood alone.

And the flame within him glowed brighter.

[Fragment Reclaimed: Mercy]

Empathy increased.

New ability unlocked: Flame of Restoration – can revive an ally once per arc.

Memory vision triggered: Kael sees flashes of his life before the villain body… a child in the stars… a god who once wept for mortals."
