Manual of a Perfect Villain

I tried to be a hero. When the steel beam came crashing down, I pushed my coworkers out of the way. Or at least… I tried to. Thump. Reality was cruel. My weak, malnourished body couldn’t even move them an inch. As the world blurred and death approached, I realized something important. I wasn’t a protagonist. I wasn’t special. I wasn’t the hero. Then darkness swallowed me whole. ⸻ After death, I expected hell. Or maybe an endless void where I could finally rest. Instead, I woke up in a luxurious room fit for royalty, breathing air that didn’t burn my lungs for the first time in my life. When I looked into the mirror, a stranger stared back. Pale skin. Crimson eyes. Hair like falling snow. The face belonged to someone I knew all too well. Sethius Von Sanguis. Prince of the Bloodborn. A genius swordsman. A future monster. And one of the first major characters destined to die. Because this wasn’t my world. It was the world of a novel I used to read. A world filled with ancient powers, living legends, monstrous prodigies, and a Tower that devoured countless lives. And Sethius? He wasn’t the protagonist. He wasn’t even the villain. He was a plot device. A stepping stone meant to die so the real story could begin. “…Heh.” A laugh escaped my lips. So what now? Die again? Get crushed by fate instead of steel beams? Unfortunately for this world… I refuse. I won’t save humanity. I won’t fight for justice. I won’t become a hero. If something stands in my way— I’ll cut. If fate wants me dead— I’ll cut. After all, this body seems to have an unhealthy obsession with cutting things apart. And honestly? I’m starting to enjoy it. There’s only one thing I love more than swordsmanship. Pancakes. The Tower can keep its prophecies. The heroes can save the world. As for me? I’ll become the greatest villain this story has ever seen. …While searching for the perfect stack of pancakes.
