A Regressed Villain: Heroines, Villainesses and Me?

"I... am sorry..." A man with fluttering white hair apologized, his eyes heavy with trickling blood as he gazed towards the eyes drenched in sorrow and pain of that fleeting moment belonging to a woman with a missing hand, her body stumbling while pierced by three arrows and a large amethyst crystal piercing her abdomen. Yet above all, the most excruciating pain was inflicted by the man who held a black sword passing through her chest.

"W-why?...." Standing with a face showing no hint of pain but visible anger towards the individual in front of her, her tone quivered as she parted her lips, letting out warm breath and trickling crimson fluid. Her face was broken, with one eye completely destroyed, yet the remaining hint of milky white skin showed the beauty she once possessed, with one pointed ear cut.

Even in her broken state, she had pushed this far only because of the man she trusted to support her, yet she met with betrayal and death.

Not only her but also six other women lay fallen around, bearing the same brokenness as her, their heartbeats conveying that they were still alive.

Indeed, their bodies were drenched in blood, some missing limbs, others with burns all over, and some still carrying arrows in their remaining hands, showcasing the strength they once possessed to keep themselves alive after losing more than half of their bodily functions.

All this was because of their single thought wanting to understand.

Why betrayal?

"Ugh..." Pulling back his sword with a clear arc forming to even slice the heart that once beat for him, the man swung his sword with bloodstains scattering all over the woman's falling body, which soon hit the ground.
THUD
"...A..ven.." Yet, due to belonging to the Elven race, her body still kept pushing itself to get the answer for why she deserved all this after finally trusting a human.

~~~~~~~
This is simply a story about the villain who was molded in a way to keep moving along the predestined path, which will inevitably make him encounter the Son of Heavens, heroines, and villainesses.

Yet somehow, he always remained on the winning side.

Until the end, Avendial remained victorious, at least if it was only a game.

On his journey, he lost several, witnessed the sufferings of many, and heard the pain of a few.

Heavens made him the way he is today, when his hands held the sword that passed through one of the heroines who was in love with him.

With the same hands, he killed the ones who loved him.

Whether they were villainesses, heroines, supporting characters, or anyone who followed him after gaining the will to go against heavens, he betrayed all of them.

In the end, he was a villain.

Heavens wanted to make him suffer, so he showed his sufferings to it.

But now, he wants to make Heavens suffer, so it must be better prepared.

Avendial Croceas will see where his path leads him this time, but wherever it does, one thing is clear: he will win again.

This is the story of the Regressed Villain.

One who didn't beg, but snatched the chance to return back to the past at the cost of sacrificing some of his heart, which he will reclaim once again.
