Delving into Volume 3 of "Kill the Villain"

The third volume of "Kill the Villain," a series that has enthralled 35 million readers on KakaoPage, continues to defy the norms of romantic fantasy. This installment deepens the story of Eris Miserian, a character possessed by an outsider's spirit, who is desperately trying to escape from a world that is not her own.

In this volume, Eris, accompanied by Anakin, journeys to Bonitae to confront and understand the 'causality' that binds her to her fated role. It is here that she meets the priest Metheus, who reveals the harrowing truths about causality. Faced with the realization that she cannot evade the laws of causality, Eris is confronted with a dire decree: she must kill Helena, the heroine of the original story, to possibly return to her original world. The volume poses a critical question: Will Eris succumb to her destiny and commit the act that could free her, or will she find another path?

Plot Summary

Eris's quest leads her and Hibris to Bonitaeo, seeking to unravel the mysteries of causality. During this journey, Eris confronts a reality different from the original tale, where Hibris, rather than betraying her, shows genuine pity—an emotion Eris finds laughable under the circumstances. After being captured by Jason and taken back to the capital, Eris is summoned by Empress Melpomene to the imperial palace. Here, she devises a strategy to align with the causality laws and approach Helena, setting the stage for a confrontation dictated by fate.

This pivotal volume, which includes episodes 30 to 44 from the webtoon series, intensifies the emotional and existential stakes of the story. Readers are invited to explore the intricate layers of Eris's struggle against destiny, her moral dilemmas, and the choices she must make within the constraints of a predetermined narrative. "Kill the Villain" offers a compelling blend of suspense, philosophy, and romance, challenging characters and readers alike to question the essence of fate and free will.
