Vindicating the Villain

Gayan’s role was simple: serve as the ultimate villain, sharpening male leads into worthy protagonists. Yet the heroes he encountered were apathetic and lacked ambition, remaining entirely indifferent even when he tormented them. Forced to adapt, Gayan shifted his strategy. He worked tirelessly to earn their trust and affection, only to ruthlessly betray them through calculated schemes involving stabbings, entrapment, and deception. His methods proved flawless. The betrayed protagonists finally awakened, growing into supreme heroes wielding immense power. Satisfied that none could exact revenge upon him, Gayan moved from world to world, completing his villainous quests with perfect precision. Everything proceeded smoothly until Gayan finished his final assignment. Instead of granting him freedom, the system delivered a shocking ultimatum: his missions would only be considered truly complete if he returned to every single world he had ever visited and survived there for an entire decade. Stunned into silence, Gayan demanded the system repeat itself. When it confirmed that he must revisit all his past conquests and stay alive for ten years in each—facing the very supreme heroes he had once betrayed—his reaction was nothing short of explosive outrage.
