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!”

Dyan hurried over and looked Louis over from head to toe. Only after confirming that he wasn't injured anywhere did he finally let out a breath of relief. Right after that, his eyes sparkled as he pointed toward the door. "Louis, look! I just used my Talent. I just burned them!"


Louis looked toward the zombies crawling and writhing outside the door, like a swarm of demons clawing their way out of hell, and nodded. Who would have thought that when he turned back, he would be met with Dyan's expectant gaze. He gave a faint smile, raised his hand, and patted Dyan on the head. "You did great."


Dyan rubbed his nose. "It's nothing special. My flames still don't have that much killing power, but one day I'll use them to blow those zombies to pieces!"


Although Louis's tone didn't rise or fall in the slightest, Dyan felt immensely encouraged. After all, no one had ever praised him before, and no one had ever told him that he would succeed.
