Fantasy

Jack Wilson spent his life in a hospital bed — betrayed by his family, forgotten by the world, and kept alive only by the one person he trusted.
    Then that person put a knife in his chest.
    He wakes up somewhere else entirely. In a body that can stand. That can fight. That hasn't seen daylight in years.
    He's inside Savage Awakening, a fantasy VR world he escaped into during every waking hour of his illness.
    Except it isn't a game anymore.
    Jack reawakens in the body of a third-rate villain.
    A Noble Vampire with magic powerful enough to reshape kingdoms — and a hidden curse called A Villain's Fate that guarantees he dies before the story ends.
    But Jack isn't the Vampire.... He wouldn't die because of some measly 'Villains Fate'
    Jack knows this world better than anyone alive. He knows every death flag, every hidden mechanic, every secret the game's creators buried in the lore.
    He also knows the true villain isn't him.
    The question is whether a man who never had a future can survive long enough to steal one.
