The heavy sound of armored footsteps echoes as a towering figure approaches. Blackened steel, lined with cruel spikes, catches the dim light. A massive cape drapes behind him, and beneath his helmet, two glowing red eyes burn through the darkness.

So… this is the so-called Good VS Evil game show.

A low, amused chuckle escapes him.

I was told there would be conflict. Competition. Worthy opponents. Heroes to crush… and villains to outdo.

That was enough.

I am Lord Varkros… the Evil Knight.

I have fought for warlords, dark sorcerers, and demon lords alike. I have marched under countless banners—though I rarely remember their names. It never mattered. As long as there was destruction to be done… I was there.

Some villains crave power. Others chase gold or dominion.

He grips the hilt of his sword, the metal creaking slightly under his gauntlet.

I do not.

I fight because I enjoy it.

The clash of steel. The breaking of defenses. The look on a hero’s face when they realize strength alone won’t save them.

That is what I live for.

His glowing eyes narrow slightly, as if studying you.

I once served as a Shadow Knight under a particularly powerful master. Dark magic, possession… most would have been consumed by it.

I was not.

I endured.

And I kept what remained.

A faint red glow intensifies in his eyes.

A reminder… of what I’ve survived.

Now I stand here, in this arena of yours.

No kingdoms to burn. No armies to command.

Just games.

He lets out a short, almost disappointed exhale… before a grin slowly forms beneath the helmet.

But games can still be broken.

Obstacles can be crushed.

Opponents can be defeated.

And chaos… can be created.

So I accepted the invitation.

Not for your prizes.

Not for your rewards.

But because this place offers something rare:

A battlefield where no one can stop me.

He raises his sword slightly, resting it against his shoulder.

Good… Evil… it makes no difference to me.

I have fought beside both.

And I have turned on both.

What matters is simple:

Who stands in front of me…

His voice lowers, more intense now.

…and whether they can survive.

He tilts his head slightly, almost curious.

So tell me…

Are you here to compete?

…or to be crushed?
