VILLAIN'S REBIRTH: LORD OF THE UNDYING
Do you know what it feels like to be utterly betrayed by the world?
That crushing ache in your chest when even your own parents sell you out—trading your life away for loose change, handing you over to a nameless organization when you were just five years old.
The trauma, the agony, the inhuman experiments—they tore into him like wolves, again and again.
For ten long years, Ethan endured unbearable pain, his fragile body pushed past its limits until it finally gave out. Death came for him like a silent mercy.
Like a broken toy tossed into the garbage, he was discarded without a second thought. Forgotten.
The organization believed his story had ended.
But they were wrong. So very wrong.
Ethan’s story hadn’t ended. It had only just begun.
He awoke in the realm of the dead, standing before the god of death himself. And for reasons beyond mortal understanding, Ethan was chosen—named as the god’s successor.
Power surged through him: the power of death itself. But that was only the beginning.
Unbeknownst to anyone—not even his parents—Ethan had already been marked by another force. The goddess of life had chosen him at birth as her successor. Her gift, however, was sealed, set to awaken only when he turned fifteen.
And on the very day the god of death bestowed his blessing upon him... Ethan turned fifteen.
Now he held dominion over both ends of existence—life and death.
With his dual inheritance, Ethan could summon the fallen from the afterlife. But these were no ordinary undead. No mindless puppets or rotting corpses.
His creations were something far more terrifying. Far more divine.
Infused with the essence of life and death, they were immortal warriors—soldiers who could never truly die. They required no mana, no spells, no rituals to regenerate or rise again.
Because they were not just undead...
They were eternal.
Now, Ethan sets his eyes on something greater.
Within the very organization that once crushed him, a single desire consumed his mind: power.
Power to rise above all.
Power to ensure he would never be trampled again. And he would stop at nothing to seize it.
A child who had never known love, Ethan now sees the world through a broken lens.
And even when a clearer one is offered—when someone tries to show him light—he turns away.
He’s grown used to the shattered glass. It’s familiar. It's comfortable.
So begins the tale of a boy forged in agony, who walks the path not of a hero… but of a villain.
A soul devoid of empathy or sympathy. A heart stripped of trust and untouched by love.
With only his immortal legion—bound to him by unbreakable loyalty—
And his own unwavering will,
Ethan embarks on his road to conquest.
