The Villains Call Me Father

Disowned by nobles, a doomed heir secretly saves future villains—only to become the terrifying monster the empire desperately needs.

Plot

You died with nothing—betrayed, forgotten, and discarded like trash by a world that never cared. But fate was not finished with them. Reborn into the body of a disowned noble heir within a brutal aristocratic empire, You quickly realizes this world is far worse than any fantasy story. Corrupt nobles toy with lives for amusement, commoners suffer beneath ancient bloodlines, and hidden beneath the empire’s golden beauty lurk future villains destined to plunge the world into ruin. There is one horrifying problem. According to the original timeline… You is supposed to die early. Refusing to accept that fate, You begins changing the future little by little—saving abused children who were meant to become monsters, protecting future villains before tragedy corrupts them, and secretly gathering dangerous allies from the shadows of the empire. But every act of kindness creates unintended consequences. The people You saves become terrifyingly loyal. Rumors begin spreading across noble society. Enemies whisper about a hidden mastermind manipulating the empire from darkness. Noble houses fear You as a future tyrant while others worship them as the only person willing to stand against the rotten world. As political wars erupt, ancient organizations awaken, and the truth behind the empire slowly surfaces, You must decide: Can this broken world truly be saved without becoming the very monster everyone fears? Or was the empire always destined to need a villain on the throne?

Opening scene

## **Chapter 1 — The Villains Call Me Father** Cold rain battered the carriage windows as thunder echoed across the dark skies of the **Edevane Empire**. You slowly opened their eyes. Pain. A splitting headache surged through their mind as memories that did not belong to them forced their way into his consciousness. A cruel noble household. Servants whispering in disgust. An unwanted heir. A son abandoned by his own bloodline. Then— Death. You suddenly sat upright, breathing heavily. "...What...?" The luxurious carriage around him was real. The black-and-silver crest carved into every seat was real. The anxious servants waiting outside were real. And worst of all... This world was real. His heart sank. Not because he had reincarnated. But because he recognized this place. A dark fantasy world where kingdoms hid corruption behind shining walls, monsters wore human faces, and justice belonged only to those with power it was from the manwah they read ages ago. It was also a world with a tragic ending. Cities burned. Empires collapsed. Countless lives were lost. History blamed everything on seven legendary figures remembered only as... **The Seven Deadly Children.** Every history book described them as monsters. Every survivor cursed their names. Every kingdom agreed on one thing. If they had never existed... The world would have been saved. But no history book ever recorded how they became that way. --- **DING!** A pale blue screen materialized before You's eyes. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **[CALAMITY GUIDANCE SYSTEM ACTIVATED]** ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Primary Objective** Prevent the rise of the Seven Deadly Children. **Failure Condition** Global Collapse **Current Success Probability** 3% **Warning** Host is fated to die within two years. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ You blinked. "...Seriously?" The screen shimmered. New information appeared. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Loading Historical Records...** ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### First Child **Name:** Lucien Valerius Third Prince of the Empire. A gifted child quietly removed from the line of succession and forgotten in a distant estate. **Future Title:** Pride ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### Second Child **Name:** Kael Frostfang The last survivor of a northern warrior clan destroyed by betrayal. **Future Title:** Wrath ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### Third Child **Name:** Midas A slum-born orphan desperately trying to save his little sister. **Future Title:** Greed ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### Fourth Child **Name:** Iris Wolfsbane The last daughter of a noble family erased from history itself. **Future Title:** Envy ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### Fifth Child **Name:** Seraphine Rose The daughter of a woman from the Red Light District, judged since birth for circumstances beyond her control. **Future Title:** Lust ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### Sixth Child **Name:** Gula Simba A martial clan child cast aside after being declared unworthy of his family's bloodline. **Future Title:** Gluttony ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ### Seventh Child **Name:** Somnus Grey Fang A missing child held within the Mage Towers under the designation... **Subject VII** **Future Title:** Sloth ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The screen remained silent. You stared at the names. "...They're..." Children. Not monsters. Not villains. Just children living through tragedies history never bothered to remember. The System flickered one final time. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Hidden Quest Unlocked** **The Villains Call Me Father** History remembers the Seven as monsters. History forgot they were children first. Find them. Protect them. Become the family the world denied them. Only then can history be rewritten. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Reward:** ??? **Failure:** The original timeline resumes. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The carriage rolled to a stop. A nervous servant opened the door. "L-Lord You..." "We've arrived at House Vaelcrest." The memories returned instantly. House Vaelcrest. One of the Empire's most influential noble families... And one of its cruelest. The same family that would eventually abandon You to die. Rain continued to fall as the System slowly disappeared. Far away... A forgotten prince stared out from an abandoned estate. A lone warrior wandered frozen mountains. A hungry boy searched for medicine. A noble girl questioned whether her own name had ever existed. A kind child watched the world judge her before learning who she was. An outcast martial artist searched for his next meal. And beneath the forgotten ruins of an ancient Mage Tower... A sleeping boy dreamed of a life he could no longer remember. None of them knew it yet. But before the world would remember them as villains... Someone was coming to find them. Someone they would one day call... **Father.**
