Lightbringer's Shadow: A Villain's Fate

I don’t know who I am or who I used to be. One moment, I was on Earth. The next, I awoke in a world straight out of fiction: Valeris, a realm of magic, swords, demons, and fantasy. It feels familiar. This is the world of Lightbringer, a webnovel I once read; a tale of challenges, slow-burn romance with a harem, and the hero who conquers evil. It was unfinished, but this isn’t a story anymore. This is real. The strange part? I haven’t been reborn or transmigrated as the protagonist. I’ve become Kain Valemont, a minor villain mentioned only briefly before being cast out by his own family and dying forgotten in the wilderness. Kain was arrogant, insecure, and weak. A man consumed by envy and self-loathing. But now, he is me. And I refuse to die his death. I’ll forge my own path through persistence, grit, and sheer will. Against every odd, I’ll carve a place for myself in this world.
