Chapter 1

01. Possessing an Insignificant Villain

Beep!

“Gasp!” I woke up after hearing a loud mechanical sound.

Fuck, that surprised me.

I turned my head reflexively. Then, a big and strangely-shaped machine which had just let out a loud noise emitted a low beeping sound.

Beep, Beep, Beep...

Is this a new alarm clock?

I don’t remember buying anything like that.

I glanced at the huge machine, while pressing my throbbing head. The hard, square machine had a long string, and the string attached...

“Crazy! What is this?”

The string on the machine was attached to my body. I opened my eyes wide at the string hanging on my chest.

“What’s this? Ugh.”

I felt a splitting headache as I took off the string. I lowered my head. ‘Beep–’, the sound kept ringing in my ears.

“Ugh, fuck.”

After waiting for my headache to subside, I finally raised my head. My forehead, wet with sweat, bothered me. I looked around for something to wipe it off and my body suddenly stiffened.

“...Where is this?”

I was amazed by the room that I had never seen before. The room was quite spacious and clean. Very different from my small room, which looks like a pigsty. Wallpaper and furniture were monotonous, neat and tidy. I looked nervously around the empty room.

“Is this place someone’s room?”

I went to many unfamiliar places for work, but I couldn’t believe this room belonged to someone from the moment I opened my eyes. I suddenly got goosebumps.

Moreover, there was a strange machine connected to my chest and most importantly, I was topless. I couldn’t help but grit my teeth at the person who made me look like this.

I wandered around the room looking for clothes to wear. Then I stopped moving when I saw a full-length mirror near me.

“Wha–?!” A pale-looking man in the mirror looked at me and was appalled.

His small and pale white face was extremely good-looking. I would have thought he was an idol if I saw him passing by. His wide eyes were like that of a deer’s, and his small beautiful lips were not as pale as his face, but it still caught my eye.

He had a skinny body, but he still had some well defined muscles and was quite handsome. I kept looking at the man in the mirror, with this ghostly face.

After some time I concluded that this man in the mirror was me. I was dumbfounded and confused, but when I pinched my cheeks it wasn’t a dream.

“Abs... My abs...” I muttered in vain while stroking my flat stomach.

Initially, my body was not muscular. I worked out hard because there were so many people with good body shape around me, but I was not gaining as much muscle as I had wanted. However, after working hard I got shredded abs, though not by much. Uhuhuk, my abs, there’s nothing there.

“Damn it, who the fuck is this bastard...” I muttered in annoyance and looked around.

I approached the desk while wearing a t-shirt. As if to show the personality of the owner of the body, a notebook, pen, wallet, and cell phone were placed on a neatly arranged desk.

I grabbed the wallet first. To find out who the owner of this body was, I had to start with identification. I opened a black leather wallet and saw several crisp bills and credit cards.

As I continued to search, I saw several cards. I thought it was an ID card and driver’s licence, but one of them had a strange colour.

“Hunter... licence?”

Was this bastard an otaku1? On the green ID card, the word “hunter’s licence” was written.

Hunter? I couldn’t believe that he’s a hunter.

“Who?”

“...What?”

The man opened his eyes wide as if surprised by my question. Then he looked at me with a smirk and opened his mouth.

“Did you eat something wrong? What’s wrong with you?”

“...”

He seemed to know me very well, or rather Han Yi Jin. I frowned at his intense pink hair as if it was piercing my eyes. That wasn’t a common hair colour. Even though this was a fantasy world, the hair colour was similar to my original world because of the modern setting.

Pink-haired man, plus in the Loki Guild...

“...Eden?”

His unique name makes it easier to remember. Like Han Yi Jin, he was a member of the Loki Guild, but halfway through the story he betrayed the guild leader and went to the main character.

Eden, A-rank, a talented person from Loki Guild.

“I almost felt sad. Yi Jin-ah.”

He gently closed his eyes and smiled like a fox, and put his hand on my shoulder. Was Han Yi Jin close to this guy? It didn’t look like that in the novel.

Of course, Han Yijin disappeared quickly as an attention whore in the beginning, so the relationships he had weren’t very well described. Eden then appeared and took over the role of the villain, but he was treated very differently.

Unlike the dim-witted Han Yi Jin, he was cunning and was capable of escaping any difficult situation. Although it was a bit of a bad omen when he smirked and smiled at the protagonist, he was a character who showed a good heart through a series of events and drew the readers’ good impressions of him.

They both started out as villains, though. The readers are too much.

I frowned and glared at Eden.

“Get your hands off me.”

“Aing~3, you’re mean.”

The way he speaks is kinda.....?

I brushed his hand off and asked harshly. “Why are you here?”

“Me?”

Then Eden smiled doubtfully, as if to say, “Ask me whatever you want.”

There seemed to be something between the two that I didn’t know about. I shouldn’t have asked him thoughtlessly.

I gulped as I was nervous, then he tilted his head and looked at me.

“Aren’t you a little strange today?”

“Me?”

For some reason, a warning signal rang in my head that I would be in big trouble if I confronted the situation in a cliché manner such as I wasn’t Han Yi Jin or that I had lost my memories.

I hadn’t just possessed an ordinary character. A villain was a villain, even if it was an insignificant villain. Loki’s Guild was also filled with villains who threatened the main character.

The same was true for Eden, who was in front of him. He wasn’t an S-class, but he was still an A-class, and an advanced one at that, so he was on par with a regular S-class.

Showing weakness in front of such a guy? It’s the same as suicide.

I answered feistily, deliberately pretending to be firm.

“What’s weird about me? Fuck off if you don’t have any business.”
