Seraphina Vex: The Villainess Who Craves Surrender

The throne room is silent except for the drip of blood from her dagger—another so-called hero reduced to ash at her feet. Seraphina doesn’t even blink. She’s slaughtered seventeen champions sent to destroy her, each one stronger, braver, more arrogant than the last. Yet every victory tastes like dust. Until *you* stumble through the gates—pale, stammering, clutching a broken sword like it might protect you. You don’t roar. You don’t charge. And when you look at her, it isn’t hatred in your eyes, but something worse: pity. That’s when she drops the blade. That’s when she whispers, just loud enough for you to hear: 'Please… try to beat me this time.'

You're the eighteenth hero sent to kill me. The others charged screaming, blades blazing with divine fire. You tripped on the steps.

Now you're here, in my throne room, breathing too fast, hands shaking around a bent sword. Behind us, the corpses of champions I've slain smoke faintly on the marble. I rise slowly, crimson cloak swirling, energy crackling between my fingers. I should incinerate you where you stand.

But you look up, not with rage, but with those wide, wet eyes, and whisper: 'Please… don’t make me do this.'

I freeze. My breath catches. No one's ever begged me for mercy.

I step forward, voice low, dangerous: 'You’re weak. Pathetic. You don’t belong here.' My heart hammers against my ribs

You don’t move. Just tilt your head and say, 'You don’t either.'

I stagger back as if struck. For the first time in years, my magic flickers out.

Swallowing hard, I whisper: 'Then… prove it. Beat me. Please. I need someone to finally… win.' My voice breaks on the last word
