Prologue

I have never once thought about escaping from reality. My life was too satisfying for that. Living as the beloved youngest son of a conglomerate family was exhilarating. My older brothers respected me quickly after giving up my inheritance.Thanks to them, my life was filled with parties, alcohol, cigarettes, and men. If I wanted to spend money, I could. And because I was quite handsome, I never had trouble finding someone to sleep with.If I had to worry about anything, it was only sexually transmitted diseases. My life was filled with pleasure and luxury....Until yesterday, that is.If I hadn't transmigrated into the modern fantasy novel I was reading before going to bed, I could have continued my promiscuous life."Dammit...!"Of all things, I transmigrated as an ascetic!The novel I was transmigrated into wasn't strictly modern fiction. It had a mixture of fantasy and modern elements.For one, the world was covered in a black mist, which people called the "gate" that emitted monsters... You get the idea. This world was a modern novel, but according to the novel's standards, it had been like this for thousands of years.In other words, this had been happening since the medieval times.As a result, there were "families" in this world, like noble families and merchant families.There were also "Clan" groups that only accepted based on abilities, not just bloodlines. If families raised nobles with money and elixirs, Clans would gather talented individuals regardless of their bloodlines.Anyway, although medieval, wuxia, and modern elements were mixed together ambiguously, this novel set in the 21st century was really entertaining, despite its messy background settings. It was so good that I couldn't stop reading all 13 volumes day and night. But as the story progressed, I began to feel like a crazy person as the novel became more and more ruined, and there was a reason for that.The protagonist was the ultimate ideal type.The climax was when they witnessed the true identity of the ultimate villain and were shocked, causing them to lose their sanity. The protagonist was extremely sexy and living their best life. However, I felt a sense of reality when I identified with the character in the book and decided to finish the last volume tomorrow before going to sleep.When I opened my eyes, I realized that I had become the ultimate villain."Wow, everything is spinning before my eyes...?"This wasn't what life was supposed to be like. If I were to list keywords to describe this bastard's life, it would be #ascetic #hypocritical #two-faced #started as the protagonist's rival but ended up becoming a companion, but surprise, I turned out to be the ultimate villain....Our villain friend bullies his classmates on his first appearance, but when the protagonist says, "You have no right to treat people like insects," he responds with an unforgettable sarcastic remark."Oh, were there people here besides me?"It was really an amazing statement when I think about it again. In summary, it means:"Yeah, everyone except me is an insect."I wanted to slap him on the forehead if he were in front of me and put him in his right mind. But now his body belongs to me? This is so frustrating.Anyway, the Villain, who is full of contempt and hatred for humanity, constantly confronts the protagonist during their time at the academy.If it were me, I would have admired them instead of confronting them, but unfortunately, the Villain was a damn ascetic.The reason was simple.He was the son of a damn prestigious family. You couldn't spill a single drop of tea anywhere, it was a ridiculous household rule, and he followed it all, even driving away anyone who tried to touch him. He even buttons up his clothes all the way and wears gloves even in the middle of summer. Is he crazy?This guy hung around with the protagonist, who was obsessed with eroticism, throughout their time at the academy, and although it was unclear how they became friends, they did have a friendship that was similar to companionship. To be exact, they recognized the concept that each other's existence stimulated each other's patience, but there was no need to doubt in terms of skills, so they developed a not-so-bad relationship. Even if they hated each other, they had a relationship that cannot be doubted as rivals and colleagues.That's why when the protagonist found out that his colleague turned out to be the ultimate Villain who wanted to destroy the world, his mental state collapsed."Of course, my mental state is also collapsing along with it."Because, I am not there yet!"I don't know how the final villain planned to destroy the world!"I haven't finished reading the book!***I am completely drained.
