This story is a chronicle, as stated in the synopsis. It is a record of choices and consequences. The protagonist you are going to meet is not a hero to root for, but a case study of a corrupted soul.
They often say to understand is to forgive. This story is the opposite – it stems from a desire to understand the unforgivable.
I have always been fascinated by a kind of villain: the kind that isn't actually right, misunderstood, or unaware of their own actions, but the kind that knows their actions are morally wrong but still create a gilded palace of excuses to live in anyway.
But then, when this kind of villain appears, I usually meet the bad-written ones or ones that eventually entered a redemption arc. I don't want that. So I created one on my own. A villain who's both self-aware and self-justifying, who willingly entered the path of damnation and doesn't turn back even when karma catches up to him.
I have endeavored to treat the dark themes within not as spectacle, but as inevitable symptoms of the character's condition.
This is not a comforting tale. It is, I hope, a compelling and truthful one.
