Chapter 1: Reincarnation of a Villain

“A Tale of the Land of Rainana”

A civil war broke out in Rainana, the most prosperous country in the continent. The Duke of Ark, who rules the Ark territory of Rainana, is the leader of a dark organization, and evidence of their many crimes has been leaked from within the country, prompting the king to order their defeat.

The hero, Alto, a descendant of the heroes who lead the army, and the heroines who are fascinated by him.

“There are no more allies for you. Give up, Absolute Ark.”

Absolute Ark has no allies left. All he has is his high pride of never kneeling and the high fighting power he has cultivated to maintain that pride. He had not lost yet.

“Hmph.  You think you’re stronger just because of your numbers. The coward who cannot fight alone is a hero…this country has fallen. I’m worried about the future.”

“What? You!”

The hero goes out of control, but the heroines around him quiet him down.

“Don’t let him provoke you! We’ll surround the place and take him down. Don’t worry, you’re not a coward. We know that.”

With the advice of his friends, the hero cools his head, regulates his breathing, and looks at the enemy.

“Thank you. Hey, Absolute Ark! It’s true that I can’t defeat you on my own. But I have friends. My irreplaceable friends. I will defeat you with the power of our bond. Let’s go!”

From there, a heated battle ensued. Absolute Ark showed an overwhelming difference in power, but the hero covered and countered with his overwhelming strength in numbers. The hero’s sword pierced through Absolute Ark and the heroes won the battle, despite taking much damage.

The hero who contributed to the destruction of the dark organization was recognized for his contribution and received the territory of Ark, which was being rebuilt, and spent his time getting along well with the heroines.

[The end.]

When I opened my eyelids, which were heavy with a strong sense of fatigue, I saw an unknown room in my field of vision.

As I looked around the rather spacious place with a Western feel, I heard a voice from nearby.

“Congratulations. You have a successor boya.”

The voice belonged to an elderly woman about 60 years old, dressed in a maid’s uniform.

The old woman, who was dressed in a maid’s uniform without considering her age, called out to a strong-looking man with black hair.　

(That man looks familiar to me somewhere… who is he? But still, what the hell is that old woman…)

I wonder oddly if the aging of the population means that even an old woman like that is in demand as a maid.

An old woman wearing a maid’s uniform at that age makes my mind even more confused, but I could see that my body has shrunk.

“I see… This magic power in a baby… it’s terrifying. And his skills are charisma, royal supremacy, and absolute evil. Perfect skills for someone who stands at the top. And it goes well with the magic of the Ark family. But absolute evil is a rare skill. I believe the first head of the family had it, but I don’t know the detailed effects. But my son will be a strong man in the future. I shall name him Absolute.”　

(Absolute? Did he just say “Absolute”? And the Ark family…Absolute Ark is a villain in a fantasy novel I once read, “The Tale of Rainana Land” I think.)

I believe it was set up that the Ark family is the one who does evil deeds on the other side of the country and is destroyed by the main character who can’t stand it…does that mean I’ve been reincarnated as a character from a novel?

(So that means the man I just met is Absolute’s father! I’ve never seen him in the original work, but he looks just like Absolute.)

Absolute Ark was arrogant and proud, but he had the ability to match his arrogance and pride, and in addition to the Ark family’s unique magic, he also had a sword and a good head on his shoulders. He is, by the way, quite handsome.

However, Absolute Ark did have a weakness. He had no allies. As an organization, he had 80% of the kingdom’s dark organization, but some of the nobles under his control betrayed him to the hero’s side, and the others left one by one as the situation worsened.
As a result, when he fights with the hero, Absolute is alone, and his fate is to be killed by the overwhelming power of the heroes’ side.

(…Really? In a sense, he died alone. When I read the novel, I felt sorry for him in a way. Because he is betrayed by his allies and lynched to death, right? The protagonist’s side is so unbelievable….)

What should I do? If the story continues as is, I will be lynched and killed. There are two options

1. Reform and be friends with the protagonist

No, I liked the novel but disliked the main character, so that is absolutely physiologically impossible. 

2. Beat up the protagonist as a villain

Before the story begins, I’ll eliminate the uneasy elements and beat him up with all the preparation I have.

Definitely 2. I hate heroes.

My policy in this world has been decided. Since I was born as a villain, I will be a villain as in the original story. But I will not be defeated. I’m going to defeat the hero as the absolute evil one.

I promised myself that I would overcome the hero as a villain, and slowly closed my eyelids, which were getting heavy.
