EBOOK
About
The hero has plot armor.
He has the plot.
He wakes inside a novel as the man everyone is supposed to hate: a billionaire father, a polished monster in a tailored suit, and the doomed villain waiting for the War God protagonist to return and take everything from him.
His empire.
His reputation.
His future.
His life.
That was the ending the story promised.
Then he remembers every page.
"You're not supposed to know this," fate whispers.
He smiles.
"Then fate should have hidden the script better."
Two years remain before the hero comes home.
Two years to erase old weaknesses.
Two years to find the traitors.
Two years to turn enemies into pawns, heroines into variables, and every lucky character in the story into fuel.
Then the system awakens.

A furious protagonist? Points.
A shaken heroine? Points.
A jealous rival? Points.
A city full of secrets, gangs, boardrooms, scandals, and hidden blades?
A feast.
The original story called him a stepping stone.
He calls that poor planning.
Because while the chosen hero still believes destiny is waiting to welcome him home, the villain is already buying loyalty, breaking plot armor, stealing luck, and turning the city into a chessboard where every move ends in his favor.
"Do you think you can beat the hero?"
He looks down at the glowing system screen and laughs.
"No. I'm going to make him wish he had never become one."
