Isekai’d into a Dark Fantasy RPG, Are You Kidding Me? Somehow, I Ended on the Villains’ Side

Karl's brutal life finally reached its end—or so it should have. Instead, he awakens in a world ripped straight from a game he played as a child—one he never finished. A world that plays by soulslike rules, where death doesn't negotiate, every encounter can end in Game Over, and his single life is all he gets. No respawns. No save points. No mercy for the unprepared.

He remembers fragments—enough to know the world, not enough to survive it. And survival demands everything. Karl must forge himself into something harder, sharper, deadlier than his old self. Weakness doesn't just fail here—it gets erased.

But fate had crueler plans. Somehow, through circumstances beyond his control, Karl finds himself on the wrong side of the story—an enemy of the Hero's party, shackled to the doomed script every villain follows. And even if he claws past every brutal encounter, even if he breaks free from that narrative, one truth looms over everything:

This world has only decades left before total annihilation.

Killing the hero party only makes the world burn faster

The Last Days of Men—of all the worlds to get isekai'd into, why not a cozy farm simulator or a peaceful slice-of-life? Seriously this must be a dream, right?
