The Reborn Villain Doesn't Want to Be a Savior [Nonhuman]

*

[You are mad, dark, hypocritical, and deceitful. In the eyes of the world, you are a useless pawn, and you deserve to die.]

There are people in this world who are born cruel and wicked, with hearts as venomous as snakes and scorpions. Like lily of the valley hiding its poison beneath a beautiful appearance, they conceal the most potent venom within.

After the world was destroyed, those who considered themselves villains were reborn.

[This world keeps repeating the same fate. No matter how many times it happens, however many suitable saviors we find, it all ends in destruction.]

[For the 101st time, I have decided to stop choosing heroes who devote themselves to saving the world.]

[I want to choose you.]

In the Nineteenth Era, after centuries of conflict between the nonhuman races and humanity, humans launched a sweeping campaign to hunt down the nonhumans. The nonhumans refused to back down. The two sides schemed against each other, invaded one another, and waged psychological warfare, until both were left badly weakened.

In the Nineteenth Era, humanity was plunged into a long night and an endless winter.

The chosen saviors always tried to prevent the apocalypse from coming, but none of them could do it.

[What about you?]

[We are selfish and narrow-minded. We don't care about the greater good.]

[We can't save the world.]

Villains have their own way of doing things.
