Reincarnated as the Last Villain

Setting: The Broken Spine Mountains

Depth: UnknownWarning Level: Maximum — no light reaches this place

They said the old gods buried their failures here.

They said the earth cracked open to swallow sins too wild for heaven or hell.

Kael stood at the edge of the abyss,Ashendawn glowing softly,its flame pulsing like a dying heart.

Even the Seraphic light within him dimmed here.

This was a place of forgotten things.

And somewhere in its gut,a fragment of Kael still lived.

If you could call it "living."

Descent

Kael entered alone.

No allies. No path.Only heatless dark.

As he walked deeper,he found bones.Claw marks.Massive footprints—three-toed and unnatural.

Then a whisper.

Not a word.A hunger.

"He comes... the one who left me here..."

The First Encounter

In a cavern slick with blood and moss,the Beast appeared.

Towering. Crooked.Flame leaking from its ribs.Ash for eyes.

It charged.

Kael blocked the first strike —barely.

Ashendawn cracked.The cave trembled.

The Beast screamed — a roar made of rage, abandonment, and raw instinct.

It spoke only once:

"YOU LET US BECOME THIS."

[Fragment Identified: The Beast]

Aspect: Repressed fury, instinct, survival through savagery

Ability: Predatory Regeneration, Pain Reflection, Flame Howl

Purpose: To destroy anything that ever hurt Kael — including Kael

Kael's Struggle

He fought not just with flame—but with control.

Every strike was matched with feral brutality.Every thought was drowned in instinct.

The Beast remembered pain, not logic.

It was the Kael who broke and never got up.

The Kael who was caged.Beaten.Hunted.

And then… released with no one left to protect.

The Turning Point

Kael was nearly torn apart.

Until he let go—not of the fight,but of the guilt.

He stepped forward.

Unarmed.

Bleeding.

"I'm sorry."

The Beast froze.

Its claws trembled.

"I never meant to leave you here."

Kael approached.

Ashendawn sheathed.

"But I can't be whole without you."

The Beast snarled.

Lunged.

And hugged him.

Binding the Beast

Kael whispered:

"You're not a monster.You're the part of me that survived the fire before the flames."

He placed a hand over the Beast's heart.

Ashendawn flared.

And the Beast collapsed into Kael's shadow —bound, not by chains,but by acknowledgment.

[Fragment Bound: The Beast]

Passive: Predator's Pulse – Sense danger and betrayal before it happens

Active: Flame Howl – Unleash primal terror on enemies, bypassing mental resistances

Stat Boost: +Endurance, +Rage threshold

Soul Instability: ⚠⚠⚠ Critical

Final Fragment Status:

But now Kael sees the full cost:

He's stronger.

Faster.

Wiser.

But less himself.

Each bound fragment makes him more powerful—and less human.

One final choice awaits:

To face the Kael who never gave up power—who declared himself God-King.

And who calls our Kael a mistake.
