I didn’t reincarnate as the hero. Of course not.

I woke up as the main villain of a romantasy novel, the guy whose entire job is to be powerful, miserable, and conveniently dead by the final arc so the hero can get the girl.

Unfortunately for the plot, I’ve read this book.

I know every bad decision I’m supposed to make, every red flag I’m meant to wave, and the exact moment the heroine is supposed to fall in love with someone else.

Hard pass.

Instead of acting like an emotionally stunted tyrant, I start fixing things I was meant to ruin. I help when I shouldn’t. I show up when the hero’s supposed to. And somehow, I keep ending up alone with the heroines, having conversations that were never in the script.

They laugh.
They look at me differently.
The story starts acting weird.

Now the hero’s losing his “chosen one” aura, the romance flags are pointing in my direction, and fate seems personally offended by my existence.

Because if I’m already the villain…
I might as well steal the plot, rewrite the ending,
and fall in love while I’m at it.

Edward laughed, a short, pained sound, but he didn't move to leave the crater just yet. He raised a hand, signaling the rest of the men to hold. For all they knew, the chaos above could have been a coincidence. A distraction. Or a trap.


"General Edward!" A voice echoed from beyond the rubble, muffled but unmistakably human. "We're at the entrance! The duke's currently distracting the magical beasts, we need to get out, now!"
