He was never the final boss.
He was not the demon king, the mastermind, or the great enemy destined to shake the world.
He was only the first villain.
A fat, arrogant noble who bullied the weak, abused his status, and challenged the wrong person - a kind-hearted isekai hero who would one day become the strongest man in the world.
And he lost.
Badly.
After his defeat, his life collapsed. His family abandoned him, his name became a joke, and every sin he had committed returned to destroy him. Even after death, his soul refused to disappear. Instead, he was forced to watch the hero's entire story unfold.
The hero grew stronger.
The hero saved kingdoms.
The hero gathered loyal friends and beautiful women by his side.
The hero received the happy ending.
And the insignificant villain could only watch.
Jealousy, rage, disbelief, and hatred burned inside him for years. But above all, one feeling remained stronger than death itself.
He refused to accept it.
How did he lose to that kid?
Why was he nothing more than a stepping stone in someone else's story?
His soul screamed against fate until darkness swallowed him.
Then he opened his eyes again.
He was back in the past.
Back before his defeat.
Back before his downfall.
Back before the hero took everything.
This time, he will not be a joke.
This time, he will not be forgotten.
This time, the insignificant villain will rewrite his fate.
