The Return of a Failure and the Beginning of a LegendAuthor: LF KyrosChronicler: Sir Finarp Lafayette“If you are reading this, it means I survived long enough to finish the story.The hero never liked that I wrote about him.But someone had to tell it.”— Sir Finarp Lafayette  **Official Synopsis:** At the height of the greatest festival in the legendary Capital of Sorriso, Lukas only dreamed of proving his worth. But public humiliation and cruel betrayal buried any hope of recognition. That very night, profane gates opened. Black dragons. Ruthless generals. Loved ones fell one by one. Amid the flames, Lukas discovered the true weight of failure. When everything seemed lost... an ancient power tore through the veil of time. Now, back in the past — scarred by every defeat, every death he witnessed — Lukas has one last chance to change the fate that once condemned him. To save the future, he must rise from the ashes, confront his fears, and turn his shame into a legend no one ever dared believe in. His name will be remembered. But first... he must earn it. This time, failure returns with a new name. A confident smile on his lips. Two voices in his mind. And the weight of a world on the brink of collapse. The Blood Demon awakens. And the legend is only beginning.
