The villain reincarnated is a free man Ch.1

When I woke up, I was in another world.

I tried to look cool, but I was really in a room I had never seen before.

 

     
“Aaaaaaah!”

I have a strong headache... and as if to escape this pain, I went on a journey to sleep twice, regardless of my intentions.

I'm back from my trip to sleep twice.

 

　I wake up feeling refreshed and invigorated.

 

　And while I was sleeping, my memories and soul must have been sorted out, and the information about the owner of this body and me is now available.

 

　......I've been reborn in another world, haven't I?

First of all, probably my last memory of my previous life is that I was a college student in Japan and died from overzealous gaming during summer vacation, probably heat stroke.

 

　Well, being from Hokkaido, I liked Tokyo summers.

 

　I also didn't sleep enough, didn't get enough exercise, and I probably skimped on electricity and food costs by living alone. I am sorry for what I did to my parents, but it had to happen.

 

　I entrusted the rest to my excellent older brother, younger brother, and lovely sister, and I'm counting on you all!

 

　However, I have one thing to be proud of in this reincarnation.

 

　I am proud of the fact that I didn't have to take care of the reincarnation truck.

 

　I am a two-dimensional geek to the extent that I die from playing too many games, and I am also a big fan of otherworldly fantasy novels. Many of these protagonists, who saved a child or had no particular reason to do so, were hit by a truck and reincarnated into another world, and I was always pained to think about what happened to the truck drivers who remain nameless.

 

　Because while the protagonist almost certainly reaches the peak of happiness, the driver ends his role as a reincarnation device without even being noticed by most readers, and leaves the story with nothing but his sins.

 

　In such a situation, I'm my own inadvertent death and reincarnation. The fact that there were no truck drivers who had to take the blame just to reincarnate me brings peace to my heart.

 

　Thank God, I'm so glad: ......

 

　Now I just hope that my brother, who promised to treat me to dinner that day, will find my dead body at the last minute.

 

　Please!!!　I'm serious!!!!

Well, be that as it may, the question is about the owner of this body.

 

　I honestly don't know if he recalled his previous life, or if he possessed and took over this body, or if as a result of the fusion, his consciousness is based on me due to his high mental age, etc. I don't know about that.

 

　If I had taken someone else's life, it would have been a very painful experience for me.

 

　But I can't return it, or rather, I don't know how. For that I am sorry, but I am going to let you act as I will.

 

　But, well, as a matter of fact, the owner of this body will be ruined in the near future, and he will be.

 

　The reason why I know this is because, according to the memories of the owner of this body, this is the world of the game I was playing until just before my death, and moreover, I am the villain who will lose everything.

 

　This year, the owner of this body, Ares Soeraltaut, who turned 13 years old, is entering the Royal Cailasuento Academy of Magic.

 

　There, he confronts the hero, Lacruz, over the game's heroine, Princess Faena, and, being a villain, does all sorts of evil things and is eventually expelled.

 

　It would have been better if it had ended there, but Ares, with his superior magical power, is used as a good source of energy to revive the Demon King by the demons who are planning to revive him, and all the power in his body, including his magical power, is sucked out and he dies.

 

　In the game's scenario, he had to accumulate hate from the players, and he was a much hated person. The final scene was carefully filmed, and although the production team may have wanted to show the tragedy, it was more like a laugh.

 

　The reason is that Ares is fat.

 

　The players who watched him lose weight as his energy was sucked out of him would say things like, "He's on a devil king's diet," or, perhaps he was just fine, but in the last three seconds of his moderately slender body, they would say things like, "Ares' three-second descent," and make fun of him on Internet message boards and video-sharing sites. I remember well that I was made fun of on internet bulletin boards and video posting sites.

 

　Just like that, if the game is as it seems, all that awaits the Ares boy is a future of despair.

 

　As for me, who has taken control of this body, I say no thanks to such a future, I have no choice but to change it.

 

　I have no choice but to change it.　I am determined to do so with great vigor.

 

　Well, although I have made up my mind with a lot of bravado, I feel that I can get there even if I don't work that hard. My personal feeling is that I don't have that much romantic feelings for the princess, or rather all the heroines of the game, because I am aware that they belong to other people.

 

　Therefore, I don't think I will probably clash with the hero.

 

　Also, if you ignore the demons that come near you, you will probably be fine.

 

　If they are too depressing, you can just level up and get rid of them.

 

　Oh, that's right.

“Status!　Menu!　Window!　Ability values!　Levels!　Skill!　Job!　Class!　Appraisal!”

I'm not getting .......

 

　I have tried chanting and reminding myself of as many different words as I can think of, but no response.

 

　Yeah, there is no convenient system like that, I understand.

 

　Well, I had a vague feeling that there might be, since I didn't remember Mr. Ares.

 

　But I didn't want to lie about my desire to take a "maybe" bet on it.

 

　I mean, it would be super easy if I knew the experience, right?　It would be super motivating, right?　That's what I meant!

 

　However, according to Ales' memory, he seems to be able to know the amount of magical power he possesses from his senses, though not numerically. For now, I will use the amount of my magical power as a guide to recognize the results of my efforts and use it as motivation.

 

　I have digressed a bit, but it is not that the energy to revive the Demon King can only be absorbed from Ares-kun.

 

　It seems that the demons have been collecting it little by little from powerful people here and there, and we just have to show them no opening.

 

　If the hero is truly a hero, he will be able to handle it on his own.

 

　And to be honest, it is not that the hero has to be the hero to defeat the Demon King. In the case of the hero's defeat in the game, the kingdom defeats the Demon King in an all-out battle in the epilogue.

 

　However, the war ends with a lot of deaths, and when the kingdom is weakened, it is invaded by neighboring countries, its territory is whittled away, and the kingdom declines. Other games would have said that the world would be destroyed or something on a large scale, but this is a rather small bad ending, so to be honest, I may consider fleeing the country if it becomes too much of a hassle.

 

　Well, it would be a shame if I let it go completely like that, and if I fail, the country would tilt, and the foundation of my life I had planned to build up until then would fall apart, so I'll just keep an eye on things at the school from time to time.

 

　And if I can't count on the main character, I could use my knowledge of the original story to stop the Demon King's resurrection, and I could probably recreate that scenario.

 

　Well, it was a good time when I was thinking about such a thing.

 

　What makes it a good time is that today is the entrance ceremony of the school.

 

　It seems that the students have already entered the dormitory since the day before yesterday.

 

　To be ...... honest, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to start from a baby! Perhaps it was because he was hailed as a genius in his childhood that he became so arrogant, and he skipped swords, magic, and even his studies, and as a result, all he has acquired is fat from eating too much.

 

　In game terms, he started from level 1.

 

　Even so, he was said to be a genius for a very short period of time in his childhood and was born with an exceptional amount of magical power, so perhaps it is better that he was not a lowly shit.

 

　Yes, Ares, you have potential.

 

　He was always getting beaten up, but even in the original story, despite being lazy, he was strong enough to hold his own against the protagonists until the end of the film.

 

　So, if I train hard from now on, even if I can't be the strongest, I should be able to go pretty far!

 

　I'm getting excited!

 

　With this in mind, I prepared myself for the entrance ceremony.

 

　By the way, as the son of a marquis, I have a luxurious room all to myself.

 

　If you ignore the gorgeousness, it reminds me of my previous life, though it was almost yesterday in terms of physical sensation.
