In my story, I will have a [hero](https://writing.stackexchange.com/q/43061/30375) begin a journey. It will be the underdog story as well as good-vs-evil story. Think Frodo vs Sauron for massive oversimplification. Except in my story the hero becomes corrupt. The hero wins. The hero becomes the villain of the next story. And this all happens fairly early. Approximately one-third of the way through the story. Then the new hero has to overcome the old. They have a journey that parallels the villains journey only they retain their humanity. The second journey needs to take at least as long as the first and I want to develop that journey equally (if not more.) Should the twist be left out? Make it clear from the beginning that the first hero is going to be the villain? **Is it too soon in the tale for a reveal?**
