Marcus Evans embodied the life of an average man—trapped in a monotonous job, finding thrill through webnovels, and utterly unnoticed in the vastness of life. His ultimate pleasure was immersing himself in "Decade Long Crusade," a grand narrative where the protagonist, Ash Braker, ascends from frailty to supreme power in a realm intertwined with magic, technology, and peril.
One day, Marcus awakens in a body that isn’t his, in a world eerily familiar. He soon grasps the unimaginable: he has been transmigrated into the universe of "Decade Long Crusade." However, there's a twist. He’s not the hero or even a significant character. He’s an obscure extra, a disposable background figure destined for an unremarkable death.
To endure in a world where extras are trampled by greater forces, Marcus understands he can't act like a hero. The only way to safeguard himself is to manipulate events, ensure Ash Braker's rise to power, and assume the role of the cunning villain who controls the strings from behind the scenes. As the world of cultivation, magic, and advanced technology threatens to engulf him, Marcus must make tough choices, forge perilous alliances, and betray those who oppose him.
For in this world, it’s better to be the villain than to die forgotten.
