Once Bitten Twice Shy

In a world where memories are currency, what would you pay to forget... or to remember who you really are?

Because the truth buried in her mind could destroy the city-or set it free. But time is running out. And in Virelia, remembering the wrong thing can get you permanently erased.

His name was Zyren Drakos—a name whispered like a curse and remembered like a legend. Once left to die on the blood-soaked battlefield of the fallen Aetherion Kingdom, Zyren’s fate should have ended there. But death had other plans. Rescued by a notorious poison master shunned by the martial world, Zyren was reborn—not as a soldier, but as a living weapon. Trained in silence and shadows, he mastered forbidden arts. Every breath he took, every enemy he struck down, carved his path in poison and vengeance. But everything changed the night he saved her—a courtesan cloaked in mystery and beauty, with secrets deeper than her smile. She gave him his first taste of love... and cursed him forever. Now, hunted by assassins, betrayed by allies, and chased by the ghosts of a war not yet over, Zyren fights not just to survive—but to uncover the truth. Because somewhere in the chaos, the courtesan vanished... and left behind a single message: “They were never after me… They were after you.”

He was the world’s top gamer—the undefeated champion of Kingdom War Online. But moments after claiming his final victory, he died… only to awaken inside the game—as the very villain everyone wants dead. Now reborn as Lord Virex, the last boss fated to fall, he holds all his memories, strategies, and battle instincts—but none of the player perks. Worse, he’s stuck in the body of a tyrant hated by the world, with an endgame war looming that promises his destruction. His only shot at survival? Break the rules, rewrite the story, and conquer the world before it conquers him. With cunning, charisma, and sheer dominance, Lord Virex begins gathering powerful female war generals—once enemies, now loyal to him alone. Each one is deadly. Each one desires him. And each one holds the key to changing fate itself. But the deeper he goes, the more secrets he uncovers… and the closer the real enemies draw. In a world where betrayal lurks behind beauty and every move could trigger the end, can the villain become the true king?

His victim, a bloodied werewolf, laid on the ground, staring at him with his one trembling eye. Kael growled as he knelt beside the dying beast. “They sent me to tell you, wolf…” He lifted his sword and placed it on werewolf’s neck. “… your end has come.” .................
