In his previous world, X was a feared and brilliant criminal. He led a massive criminal organization, possessed sharp strategic intelligence, and had enough power to challenge entire nations. Though ruthless, he lived by his own principles and morals. 

One day, after completing a fantasy war game in his free time he transmigrates into that very world.

But not as the hero.

He awakens in the body of Kael Frost, the game's final villain.

In the original game, Kael was a noble born into the Frost Dukedom, which was the strongest after the royal family. He had no interest in training or holding his families legacy despite being the heir to the House Frost. He was a prime example of a spoiled noble brat.

Seeing his constant failures and pathetic state, his family especially his father Castor Frost started to neglect him entirely. Discussions were held to appoint Kael's younger brother Kevin as the heir to the Dukedom. 

Enraged by his family's actions Kael began to behave in more pathetic ways as some sort of revenge. His relations with everyone started to deteriorate further and a public conflict during a grand banquet marked his complete breakdown from his household. Soon after, Kael disappeared from the society.

A year later, driven by hatred and despair, he performed a forbidden ritual that granted him immense power in exchange for his emotions and sanity. The ritual succeeded, but turned him into a psychopathic mass murderer. Though powerful enough to nearly defeat the protagonist in the final  arc, he ultimately lost due to his madness and the hero's many allies.

That was how the game ended.

This time, the transmigration happens after the ritual is completed.

X inherits Kael's fully awakened powers while retaining his sanity, intelligence, and fragments of emotion from his previous life. With strength untouched by madness, he becomes far more dangerous than Kael ever was.

2 years later as admissions begin for the prestigious Namda Academy, the villain re-enters the world stage. Nobles are accepted automatically, while commoners must pass exams that test intellect, psychology, and potential.

With knowledge of the game's future and the mind of a genius strategist, the final boss steps onto a new path.

The moment Anviel gave out the instruction, I stepped forward, and after a moment's hesitation, Noah walked forward as well... with the both of us now standing before the entrance of the dungeon, with Elsa alternating her gaze between us.


"Hm?... Why are there only two students in this team? There should have been eight more—"


Anviel's eyes slightly widened in surprise as in a blink of an eye, the instructor appeared before us... his eyes staring deep into our souls.


"A Gold 2 and a Gold 1... hm? You seem to have some residues of Platinum mana—"


"His name's Noah... the same student who had caused a scene by fighting against the—"


Interrupting Elsa, Anviel nodded his head repeatedly, as if showing us that he knew everything.


"Then you must be the young Frost... Kaeel was it?"


The instructor asked as he took a step in my direction.


"It's Kael... and yes... I am a Frost."
