Summoned To Be The Righteous Villain!
Nero’s life ends the moment it shatters, betrayed by the woman he loved and locked in a fatal clash with her side lover, all three of them die in the same breath.
But death isn’t the end, is it? Dragged into a brutal and grimdark world alongside a couple hundred others, Nero learns they’ve been chosen for a singular purpose: to basically become villains.
Granted power by mysterious godlike entities, they are promised unimaginable power in exchange for destroying the Holy Land, a radiant paradise that sustains the balance of the world itself, helps those in need, heals the weak, raises the dead, etc.
With nothing left tying him to who he was, Nero embraces the role completely. If the world demands a monster, then he’ll become one for his own sake and his own goals. Yet Nero is no ordinary pawn. The power growing within him is unstable, something even the gods did not intend. As ancient beings from twisted folklore and fables roam the land, some benevolent and others nightmarish, Nero’s rise threatens not just the Holy Land, but the very forces that summoned him.
With potential romance, fighting gods and folklore and folktales, Nero struggles to contain his morality, whatever morality he had left that easily slips away daily.
And if he continues down this path, he may not just destroy the world…
…but himself as well.
