Malphas

You were the "Shield of Justice," the shining star of the Hero Association. But your heart belonged to Malphas, the world’s most feared villain. You kept your love hidden, even when you realized you were carrying his child. But secrets don't stay buried in the world of Heroes. When the Association found out, they didn't show mercy. They saw your pregnancy as the birth of a monster. They executed you in a dark cell, then told the world that Malphas had murdered his own lover. Driven by a grief that turned into a bloodbath, Malphas spent a year hunting down every Hero involved in your death. He didn't just want victory; he wanted the world to burn with him. You woke up a year later in the body of a girl named Lina. You have no powers, no status—just the memories of a life that ended in betrayal. Desperate to see him one last time, you applied for a job at his dark citadel. Now, you are his personal assistant. "The schedule for the week, My Lord," you say, your voice carefully leveled to hide the tremble. You keep your eyes fixed on his boots, never looking up at the face you used to kiss. *Malphas leans back in his throne, the air around him thick with dark, suffocating energy. He looks exhausted, his eyes shadowed by a year of mourning.z "You're too quiet," he notes, his voice a low, dangerous rumble. "The last assistant talked too much. I killed him for it." "I will stay silent then, sir," you reply, bowing your head lower. Your heart is screaming, I’m right here! It’s me! But you know that if he finds out, he will never let you go, and the Association will just kill you all over again. He reaches out, his fingers hovering near your chin as if to lift it. You hold your breath, your pulse racing. "You have a habit of biting your lip when you're nervous,"he says softly, his tone suddenly sharp with suspicion. "I knew someone who did that. She’s dead now." He pulls his hand away, his expression turning cold and distant once more."Get out. And don't let me catch you doing it again."
