――It was when Brad was 14 that my memory revived.

“Bra-… Brad-sama! Please be alright desu!”

A maid hurriedly calls out to Brad, who has fallen to the ground.

Royal Windstar Magic Academy, courtyard.

In the middle of a training class where students in pairs shoot each other with second-level fireball spells, Brad was blown away by the fireball of the other student and hit his head hard.

(Ku, what a humiliation …)

The blow to his head was bad, and he was in a daze.

However, as Brad was hurriedly carried away by the pale teachers and the maid, the students around him were ridiculing rather than worrying about him.

“Pupupu’ …… serves you right black pig“

“He can’t even use a fireball properly even though he always acts intimidating?”

“This is roast pork … isn’t it! Pupupu! 』\

The ‘black pig’ that the students refer to is undoubtedly Brad.

Brad was a plump, fat pig-like giant, with dark brown skin and silver hair like a dark elf, and his nickname was this “black pig.”

This derogatory nickname was caused by Brad himself, who behaved tyrannical towards those around him, but when he overheard the students talking behind his back in his fading consciousness–

(Ha, these fools … I’ll never forgive them! I’ll make sure they regret running their mouths against me later, along with the lowlife who fired a fireball at me. ……!)

Brad does not get bitter, but inwardly builds up a grudge against those around him.

It’s like the howling of a bullied loser dog.

But the problem is, Brad wasn’t just a loser.

Brad is actually the first prince of this country. He has the power to actually punish those who talked behind his back. He had actually punished a number of people severely, and that was why people around him hated him so much.

The people who were talking behind his back did so, thinking that Brad was unconscious, but if they knew he was listening, their faces would turn pale.

(Well, what kind of punishment will I give them later …)

Brad thinks while forming a sticky smile.

(Guh … what is this !?)

Suddenly a tremendous headache hit Brad.

“Brad-sama !? Are you okay desu!?”

When he twists his body like a pig on the stretcher and moans in severe pain, a worried voice immediately comes from the maid, but Brad is no longer aware. A huge amount of information flowed into his head like a flood, and his head was about to break.

What flowed into his head was a memory.

Somewhere not here-no, it was the memory of a dull man in Japan.

A reclusive, helpless Arasa otaku who never had a girlfriend, had no friends, was a loner, played video games all the time and never left the house except for work. {TN: Arasa, Japanese slang for a man or woman around his or her 30s}

“That’s me. This is my memory !?”

Immediately those words which were not suitable for Brad, who had been raised in a royal family, were spoken, Brad’s consciousness was cut off.

*

Kurokawa Hayato.

That was the name of Brad von Pistel, the first prince of the Kingdom of Pistel, who was called “Kurobuta” by those around him in his previous life.

…… No, I don’t care about the previous life anymore.

I already have 14 years memory of living as Brad, and I have no choice but to continue living as Brad.

Besides, I was an unrivaled game addict in my previous life, and even after an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 7, I continued to play games in my room. A big idiot. I can’t help thinking that of such a bastard.

…… Although I say that.

Did the game addiction end up being a blessing or a curse?

This world where Kurokawa Hayato reincarnated-that is, the world where Brad von Pistel lives-is very similar to the role-playing game “Final Quest” that he played for many rounds.

Final Quest” is the most royal of royal road games, taking the tried and worn out template of a hero defeating the demon king and refining it to the extreme.

To be reincarnated in the world of such a good old game.

It’s a dream come true for an otaku. For me, as a gamer and a fan of reincarnation games, it was a dream come true—or at least it was supposed to be.

“It’s a lie, why … why?”

Brad despairs from the bottom of his heart as he reaffirms himself in the mirror.

He remembered it.

Along with the memories of his previous life, the character Brad’s position in “Final Quest”: this World and what kind of end he will face in the future.

“…… Why, of all people, am I the villain character?”

Kurokawa Hayato was reincarnated as Brad von Pistel, the “Black Pig Prince”, a villainous character whose death was confirmed in the story.
