Vol. 1 Chapter 1

Worst appearance. Worst personality. No abilities.

That’s Elias Allcarson, a villainous noble with the trifecta of negative traits.

Elias is a mid-boss in “Indra Fantasy” who behaves unlike a typical boss by never fighting himself and instead letting his subordinates do the fighting.

He meets a tragic end, stabbed in the back by his own subordinate, but given Elias’s actions, there’s hardly any room for sympathy.

You might wonder why I suddenly reflected on such a game’s villainous noble. Well… it’s because I reincarnated.

To the end where Elias Allcarson is killed by his subordinate.

In my previous life, I was just an ordinary adult with a hobby of playing games.

I died in an accident, and whenever I close my eyes, I can remember Pouss charging at me.

“But usually, when you’re reincarnated, you become a hero or something…”

Feeling utterly down, when I absentmindedly lowered my gaze, what came into view was a round hand and a belly that seemed like it could explode at any moment.

With strangely dark skin, every time I saw it in the mirror, I was reminded that this was not the body of a Japanese person like me.

“If my reincarnation really is Elias from ‘Indra Fantasy,’ then at this rate, I’ll be killed by my subordinate when I confront the hero. But, there should still be time until the hero arrives.”

I’ve just been reincarnated, and I don’t understand anything yet, but there should still be time.

Even though I’m the lowest of the low as a villainous noble, I’ve been given a second life and the chance to enter my beloved “Indra Fantasy.”

I didn’t care what happened to Elias in the game, but now that I’m here, I want to have a happy ending.

I absolutely won’t allow tragedies like in the game to happen, and… I want to be popular, after all.

In my previous life, I never really had any romantic experiences, but what I strongly felt as I was dying was that I wanted a girlfriend.

To achieve that dream, I’ll do my best to be popular.

…But first and foremost, to be popular, I have to prioritize protecting my own life.

First, I shouldn’t incur any more animosity from those around me. Elias in the game was stabbed to death by his subordinates because he incurred their animosity.

If I’ve already incurred their animosity, I should behave as well as possible and make them understand that I’ve been reborn, body and soul.

If the story unfolds as it did in the game, the hero will surely come to defeat me, but as long as I don’t betray my subordinates, I should be fine.

I have knowledge of the game in my head.
