From Righteous To Villain

Warning This fiction contains: Graphic Violence Profanity Sensitive Content Auriel spent his entire life playing by the rules. He worked hard, helped others, and believed in the power of the law. The world repaid him with betrayal, exploitation, and, ultimately, with a pitiful death. But fate had other plans. Just as one life ended, another immediately began. He was reborn in a foreign world as a young mercenary, waking up surrounded by corpses, lost in a land where power is taken, not given. He knows that to have a fulfilling life this time around, he can't only hope that doing the right thing will be a reward in itself. He knows that he is no hero. And that heroes don't get paid... So, he is done being a pawn. If the world wants to take advantage of him again, he’ll take up the gloves and deal with it—on his own terms. Author's notes: Hey-ho! First things first, this is my first try at writing an anti-hero type of MC. I will try not to do it in the edgy way but more in the "I play by my own rules" type of way as he tries to cut out a slice of pie for only himself in the new world. Of course, not from the get-go, as I want to develop the character gradually, focusing on how his personality blooms and shifts throughout the story. If all goes well, he will slowly grow from a nobody to a proper underworld boss by the end. As for the current chapter release schedule, it will be Monday-Wednesday-Friday.
