Humanity called Rael Ardyn a traitor.A monster.A collaborator with “beasts.” They dragged the High Noble Hero to the execution pillar, accused him of betraying his own race, and celebrated as they burned him alive. Only at the moment of death did Rael learn the truth: He wasn’t the monster.Humanity was. Every non-human race—beastkin, elves, dwarves, draken—all slaughtered.all erased.all under the banner of “purity.” And Rael...the Hero they trained, praised, and used...was the blade that made their genocide possible. The System appears in the void and offers him one thing: A rollback.One year before the genocide begins.One final chance. He awakens in his younger body with: A forbidden class: Void Sovereign A hidden title: Enemy of Humanity A countdown the world cannot see:Genocide Timer — 365 Days Rael no longer believes in heroes.He no longer believes in humanity.He has only one mission: Save the non-humans.Destroy the Dominion.Make humanity regret ever calling him their Hero. A ruthless regression fantasy about betrayal, revenge, survival, and a former hero turning against the world that made him a weapon. What begins as a mission to stop a genocide does not stay that simple. The deeper Rael pushes against the Dominion, the more he discovers that “human,” “monster,” “traitor,” and “hero” were never just labels. They were weapons. And the Genocide Timer may not have been built to save anyone.
