Chapter 1 – Regression
I am the absolute evil.
The world decided so, and everyone believed it.
Nowhere was my opinion heard, but I didn’t really care about it.
After all, I’m just an outsider.
In the end, I will leave this world and return to the world where I originally belonged.
— 「Main Quest」 —
◆ Absolute Evil
: Because there is darkness, there is also light. Your death is inevitable for the salvation of the world. Embrace a villain’s death.
◆ Scenario Progress
: 0%
‘This is mind-blowing, no matter how many tis I see it.’
A translucent system window floating in the air.
A world inside a mobile ga that I enjoyed playing all night long, just a few days before my discharge from the military service. Not only was I transmigrated into the body of the only villain, but now I have to die like a villain too.
At first, I thought it was so kind of sick joke.
However, I couldn’t easily ignore that damn quest.
The reason was…
◆ Reward
: Return to the original world
…Because only that damn quest is the only way for to return to my original world.
Not as the villain in an unfamiliar ga, but as my real self, the person I have lived my whole life as.
‘I want to eat *gamjatang…’
[*”Gamjatang” is a spicy Korean soup made from the spine or neck bones of a pig.]
I want real Korean food with plenty of seasoning, not dieval food without flavor.
I miss my friends who always helped without expecting anything in return.
The smile of my rough but affectionate parents still lingers in front of my eyes.
And most of all…
‘Dopamine. I need dopamine.’
This damn world is too boring for a modern person like .
The only sowhat enjoyable leisure activity is a crude and poorly made play.
Does this even make sense?
And so, I made a resolution.
I will sohow pretend to be the villain, return to my real body, no matter what.
So I rolled and rolled for years.
I lived as the only villain in the ga world.
I endured the resentnt and hatred of countless people.
And in the anti, to progress the scenario sohow, I ran around taking care of the protagonist and his party.
As a result…
[Scenario Progress: 95%]
Finally,
I succeeded in reaching the end of the long, long story.
“What are you thinking?”
A soft voice rang coldly.
I slowly turned my head in the direction of the voice.
At that mont, I t the severe gaze of a woman staring at .
Shiny blonde hair that looks as if it was made by lting gold.
A wall as cold as a glacier.
Skin as white as snow.
Her beauty is so unreal that it made furrow my brows.
Indeed, it’s a face I can never get used to no matter how many tis I see it.
“Can’t you hear ?”
Isabel Yustia.
The darling daughter of the Count Yustia family.
The only woman who can purify the ‘Black Mist’ that devours the continent.
And a candidate for the main heroine of the original work.
I didn’t bother to respond to Isabel’s question.
Whatever answer cos out of my mouth, her gaze towards won’t turn into sothing warm anyway.
It’s best to just keep my mouth shut and remain silent like this.
“Maybe you’ve caught so sort of speech impedint in the anti… Well, do as you please.”
Despite her soft voice, her tone was quite aggressive.
But I didn’t care.
Her babbling was of no importance to whatsoever.
“I’m glad the tea hasn’t cooled yet. Please, have a seat for now.”
Familiar place.
And familiar lines.
I’m definitely certain.
She is planning to kill right here and now.
By using an unknown poison cleverly hidden in the tea cup.
[Scenario Progress: 96%]
The progress rate rose at an incredible timing.
It didn’t take long for my suspicion to turn into certainty.
‘Let’s stay alert.’
Although my head feels like it’s about to explode, it was clear what needed to be done first.
Drink the tea from the cup full of poison without any hesitation.
That’s how I will be lethally poisoned by Isabel.
I’m not sure what kind of poison it is, but since the system directly announced the ending, she must have prepared a powerful poison.
The plan is flawless without any error.
It seems like the system also noticed that, as the notification began to update with a loud alert sound.

[#81 Entering Ending Scenario]
[Initiating Settlent of ‘Villain: Kyle Winfred’]
Everything was perfect.
Well, except for one thing.
‘Settlent…?’
The appearance of the unfamiliar word made blink dumbfoundedly.
The phrase ‘Settlent of Kyle Winfred’ was nailed in my mind like a stake.
In any case, Isabel, who had no way of knowing what I was thinking, continued speaking in a chilling voice.
“Shall I fill your cup?”
“Please.”
I obediently took a seat as demanded.
Shortly after, Isabel carefully poured tea with steam rising into my cup.
And then.
“The tea tastes good.”
I emptied the cup in one gulp.
As soon as I swallowed the hot tea, Isabel’s lips twisted intensely.
“Indeed, you haven’t changed a bit. Kyle Winfred.”
Isabel gritted her teeth.
Her voice, coming out through clenched teeth, was filled with intense anger.
“They said Ludvik is dead.”
I already knew.
I couldn’t have not known from the beginning.
I killed that bastard with my own hands.
“He caused quite a stir. My long-ti friend.”
That bastard was a spy for the kingdom.
Treason, kidnapping, hostage-taking… There was no reason to keep him alive, considering he would soon destroy the empire.
“You accused the nanny of lese majeste and beheaded her.”
Yes, I rember.
She was secretly poisoning Isabel’s food.
It was an inevitable action for the progress of the scenario.
“You spread malicious rumors in the social circle to tarnish my reputation.”
Damn it.
Did I do that?
“Blinded by jealousy, you forced Derek into limbo multiple tis.”
That too was unavoidable.
That bastard Derek wouldn’t grow up unless I did so.
It was my own prescription for extre asures.
“I was curious. Why does God keep a human like you alive?”
Her every word was filled with deep hatred.
I didn’t utter a single word in response to her.
I simply quietly drank the tea she provided, pretending as if nothing was wrong.
And then.
“Cough…!”
It didn’t take long for the poison to take effect.
Soon, my cells in my entire body started contorting, and fresh blood began to trickle down from my lips.
As she watched in such a state, Isabel smiled with tears in her eyes.
[Scenario Progress: 98%]
The end was approaching.
“Keuk…!”
Eventually, I vomited coagulated blood from my mouth.
In the agony I experienced for the first ti in my life, the muscles on my entire body began to convulse uncontrollably.
“…I curse you.”
Isabel gritted her teeth, and clenched her trembling fists, watching my writhing figure until the end.
As if she had been waiting for this day for a long ti.
[Scenario Progress: 99%]
My breath beca shallow rapidly.
The sharp pain that was once vivid gradually began to dull.
And then.
[Scenario Progress: 100%]
[Scenario has ended]
Ah.
It’s all over.
As I turned my head to look at Isabel for the last ti, her surprised face trembled.
She held her chest tightly with trembling hands.
With a voice mixed with a lot of breath and trembling helplessly.
—…do it…
She murmured sothing as her lips moved.
‘Why like that?’
Curiosity arose for a mont, but quickly subsided.
Anyway, I will soon return to my real body.
Not the body of the only villain in the ga, Kyle Winfred, but the body of a college student nad Lee Seung-jun.
That was when it happened.
[Settlent complete]
[Synchronization rate: 98%]
[Synchronization rate below threshold]
The system window was suddenly updated.
My mind, which flashed white, worked slowly.
‘It clearly said it’s below the threshold…?’
Why.
Why would it say it’s below the threshold now, just before completing the scenario?
Did I miss sothing?
I imitated every trashy behavior of Kyle without missing a single one that I could rember?
Moreover, just a few minutes ago, it clearly said it was the ending scenario…!
[Notification]
[Clear failure]
I wanted to scream imdiately, but I couldn’t even control my breath.
My body stiffened gradually, as if tied up with a rope.
In my increasingly hazy consciousness, I saw the system window updating sporadically.
[A penalty has occurred!]
[□□□□□ □□□ □□□ □□□□□]
‘…Huh?’
Wait, a penalty?
What the hell is this situation…!
[Initiating Regression]
The word ‘regression’ poured into my mind like a torrent.
For a mont, I gritted my teeth at the unreasonable regression.
Beeeeep—
With a distant ringing in my ears, my vision narrowed.
Then, an overwhelming sense of displacent enveloped my whole body.
After a mont.
[Best of luck]
The ceiling seed distant.
And then, I lost consciousness.
