Sinossi

In a world where darkness reigns and fate is merely a suggestion, these are the stories of the villains who shattered the chains of destiny and bent the world to their will. Legends of the Damned delves into the hearts of history's most feared antagonists—those whose evil transcends the ordinary, whose power reshapes reality itself. These are the tales of the Mirage Artist, who brings nightmares to life with the stroke of a brush, the Void Seeker, who feeds on despair and turns souls into hollow shells, and the Clockwork Tyrant, a master of machinery who commands an army of mechanical minions to crush entire cities.
Every villain here is more than a mere villain—they are gods of their own making, wielding forces too dark for mere mortals to understand. But with every victory, every conquest, comes the inevitable cost: the emptiness of their triumphs, the hollowed-out souls left in their wake. These legends are bound by the curse of their own power, each facing a twisted end where no one survives, not even them.
From the depths of forgotten dreams to the blood-soaked streets of decimated cities, this anthology uncovers the twisted, dark journeys of these villains who conquered everything... and yet lost it all. Prepare for a dark dive into their worlds, where no soul is spared, and where the final lesson is that even the most powerful of villains cannot escape the ruin they sow.
Are you ready to witness the ultimate fall from grace? Step into Legends of the Damned, where fate is not a prison—it is a weapon to be broken.
