After the battle with the so-called hero, Louis, the Dark God, was finally slain. But he used all of his remaining power to drag down the one favored by the world and die together with him.

He thought everything would end there. Instead, he was reborn into his very first life, where he was nothing more than a side character to a side character, someone who even died before the real plot truly began, his former stupidity serving only to highlight the brilliance of the main character.

With the thumb ring and the cultivation knowledge from his previous life, this time, he swore to change everything. The main character, the one favored by the world, he would bury them all, and rewrite his own unfinished fate in this peril-filled apocalyptic world.
But slowly, why did the look in his loyal subordinate’s eyes start to feel more and more wrong?

Varkas then: “One day, I’ll make you taste suffering!”
Varkas now: “Smells so good…”

Varkas x Louis

The zombie let out a thunderous roar, its mouth reeking of a putrid stench as it lunged straight toward Louis. Its fangs, still smeared with bits of rotten flesh, now gleamed with a cold, razor-sharp light.


It had launched a surprise attack, but even so, in Louis's eyes, the movement was far too slow. He tilted his body, easily dodging the ambush. At the same time, one of his legs lifted and slammed viciously toward the zombie's head.


The sounds of shattering bones and a brain bursting apart rang out. The zombie's head, kicked off by Louis, flew to the side. Its emaciated, blood-soaked body spun once before crashing heavily to the ground, unable to move even a single inch afterward.


The head was the zombie's weak point—or more precisely, the crystal inside a zombie's head was their true weakness. To kill a zombie, one only needed to sever its head, or else shoot accurately between its brows and shatter the crystal.
