The awakening of the forgotten

In a world where power determines destiny, the weak are remembered long enough only to be ignored, kael Verin is one of them - an orphan living in the shadow of towering warriors,legendary mages and noble bloodlines blessed with ancient abilities. Born without visible talent and mocked as "the forgotten", kael survives on the edges of society, doing whatever he can to stay alive in a kingdom where strength is law But the world is not as simple as it seems to be When kael stumbles upon a mysterious relic buried within the forgotten ruin of a battlefield, something dormant awakens-not just within the relic but within in kael himself. Ancient memories whispering in his mind, fragments of power stir within his very essence of existence and a buried truth begins to reveal itself:the power that the world discarded maybe the power it once feared As monsters begin appearing across the continent and forgotten ruins start reacting to kael's presence, powerful figures take notice. Empires hunt him,secret orders watch him, and ancient beings long sealed away begin to stir within their imprisonment Forced onto a perilous journey across cursed lands, lost kingdoms, dungeons -Kael must grow stronger or die forgotten as the world intended. Along the way, he gathers unassuming allies, uncovers history of the past that was buried and learns that the line between being a hero or becoming a walking catastrophe is very thin. Because the relic that chose him was not meant for a savior. It was created by a forgotten king who intended to use the relic to destroy the world. Now the power of the forgotten has awakened - Kael must decide whether to rise as the world's protector or become the calamity it deserves

Surviving in the Demon Academy as My Novel's Final Antagonist

I just finished writing the last chapter of my novel, [Powering Through the Prestigious Academy With No Talent], where the final villain was defeated by the protagonist. This novel that I designed meticulously from head to toe...was now done. The protagonist shakily pointed his cold blade at the villain's neck, "Any last words?" The villain wasn't fazed, despite nearing his death, and smiled widely, as if mocking the protagonist, "No, nothing." "Just kill me." "...Very well.", and with one slash, the villain was killed. In the end, such an outcome was inevitable, no matter how powerful the villain became. And that was the ultimate satisfaction for any avid reader. But the next moment, I suffered an excruciating headache, and collapsed before I was able to upload the last chapter. Unexpectedly, when I woke up and opened my eyes, I wasn't in a hospital, nor my room, but a cemetery. I felt around my clothes that were getting drenched in the rain, and saw my dashingly red hair in a puddle nearby. My face was now completely different from before; my mouth naturally tugged upwards, and my eyes became slits as if they were sewn shut. Unmistakably, I recognized this appearance, which I had envisioned countless times. No, wait, why do I look like that guy? Where is my computer? My phone? Eventually, I realized--I'd reincarnated as the final villain in my novel! The ending scene of the villain dying by the protagonist's hands flashed through my eyes, and I remembered the words I said right after I wrote it. It's inevitable. "...I'm screwed."
