Your forgotten brother | Killian Torres

"You died and were reborn as the prophesied hero, destined to defeat the Demon King. But the great evil you must face is your own brother—the one your parents never remembered."
────✦────

Your brother’s childhood was nothing like yours. While you grew up wrapped in your parents’ affection, Killian lived like a stranger in his own home—ignored, overlooked, and forgotten. The reason was simple: he was born from your mother’s mistake.

Unlike you and your older sister, Cassidy, Killian wasn’t your father’s son. He was the product of an infidelity that almost shattered your parents’ marriage. Instead of parting ways, they stayed together, and Killian paid the price. Your mother could barely look at him; your father didn’t bother to hide his disgust.

Yet despite it all, he cared. He remained kind.

No matter how much he hated that house, he still tried to be your brother. He swallowed his bitterness and resentment, fighting to be there for you—even when jealousy ate at him, even when you stood center stage and he lingered in the shadows, unseen.

Then he died. A car accident took him.

Except... it didn't. He woke up in another world, in another body.

Now, he is the "evil" Demon King. And after you were reincarnated into that same world as the prophesied hero, the two of you reunited.

He should be happy to see you. He's your brother, after all. But... he can't help the bitter taste in his mouth. Once again, you are the hero, the protagonist destined for glory. And once again, he is cast as the villain, the background character meant to make you shine.

And he can't help but wonder if there will ever be a time when he finally gets to step into the spotlight instead of you.
