Playing the Villain

This book will enter the pay-to-read section on Tuesday, September 13. Chapters 21-85 will be paywalled.

"You are the villain of the story.

You seek mighty power, eternal life, and the destiny that is rightfully yours.

You stop at nothing to achieve your goals."

"You are the clown playing a supporting role.

You work diligently, keep up appearances, and live a quiet life.

Then one day, you wake from a dream and get a harsh reality check."

"You are a prisoner behind a mask.

You are capricious, reckless, and unrepentant.

Life and death are fated, and riches and honor are up to heaven."

"You are a thief of time.

You have no fixed abode, a terrible reputation, and no gratitude.

You get what you deserve, and there's nowhere to hide."

[You are a fallen god who loves collecting dreams, just as you love collecting the tattered wings of butterflies.

You pass by a dream and accept its offer:

Play the villain and complete the story.

In exchange, you get to keep the dream. Perhaps you can put it behind the glass of a display case someday.

Do you prefer decorative vases or antique treasures?]

[Dreams are unreal.]

[You are real.]

[A fleeting pleasure, a reflection of flowers in a mirror, the moon in water.]
