📖 Author's Note – End of Volume 1
And just like that… Volume 1 of "Against the Heavens: The Villain's Return" has come to an end.
The storm of fate is only beginning, and Volume 2 will bring even greater clashes, new protagonists, betrayals, and Leo's rise to rewrite destiny itself.
But before we step into the next arc, let's hear from our beloved cast themselves.
---
✨ Leo Aetherwind (Our Villain MC)
Expression calm, smirk tugging at his lips.
"Readers, you've watched me crush destiny, mock my so-called enemies, and steal the spotlight from these so-called protagonists. Yet my journey is just beginning.
If you want to see me rise higher, dominate fate itself, and make both heroes and heroines bend to my will, then you know what to do—don't be stingy with your Power Stones. After all, a villain of my caliber deserves nothing less than your full support.
And remember… if you don't vote, fate might drag you back to Alex's perspective, and nobody wants that, do they?"
---
🌹 Selena (The Sly Fox Heroine)
Clinging onto Leo's arm with a sweet but smug smile.
"Hehe~ Did you all enjoy seeing me outsmart Roxanne and sit beside my beloved Leo? That's just the beginning. You'll see more of my clever moves in Volume 2!
But… if you really want me to keep hugging Leo and never let go, then you better shower this novel with Power Stones. Otherwise, maybe Roxanne will steal the spotlight, and we can't allow that, can we?"
---
🔥 Roxanne Bladecrest (The Proud Fiancée)
Arms crossed, eyes blazing with possessiveness.
"Hmph! Don't listen to that sly fox Selena! I am Leo's fiancée, his one and only rightful partner. You all saw how I blocked the other girls and stood proudly at his side.
If you readers truly support Leo's journey, then vote with Power Stones to prove your loyalty! Show me that you recognize my place beside him, not hers.
And if you don't… then maybe Selena's tricks will succeed, and I'll never forgive you for betraying me!"
---
😂 Alex (The Eternal Butt of Jokes – "Fart King")
Face pale, clutching his chest like he's about to faint.
"Do… do you all realize what I've been through? My dignity destroyed, my name ruined, and now I'm called 'Fart King' all across the Academy!
Leo is my eternal enemy! He mocks me, crushes me, and now he's even sarcastically calling himself a 'kind-hearted person'! I… I can't take this anymore!
At least… at least give me some recognition by voting Power Stones for this novel. Otherwise… I'll— I'll dig a hole in the ground and disappear! sniff"
---
👀 Lu Xio (The New Transfer Student / Hidden Protagonist)
Peeking shyly from the corner, then glaring fiercely at Leo.
"…I just arrived, and already Leo stole Selena's attention. My blood boils every time I see her leaning on his arm.
But this is just the start. My story hasn't even begun yet. I'll fight for my spotlight, I'll fight for my destiny!
Readers… if you want to see me clash with Leo, then send your Power Stones. Without your support, how will I, the new protagonist, rise up against this so-called villain?"
---
🕴️ Butler Wang (The Loyal Shadow)
Adjusting his gloves with refined dignity.
"Ahem… young master Leo has already instructed me to gather information on all threats, including this Lu Xio. But my investigations require energy, time, and… support from the readers.
So please, kindly deliver your Power Stones generously, or else even I, the ever-efficient Butler Wang, will be unable to perform to my fullest capacity."
