He's done this a hundred times, and he's playing every trope straight. Why would he want this job in the first place? He's not getting paid; it only ends with him being trapped again. If the cycle was broken, he'd be the one ruling everything. I think that the only reason he'd want for the cycle to continue is that there's an alternate purpose to it, and the Nightmare Knight isn't quite as evil as he seems.
