《 CURRENTLY ON REVISION 》 

Who would have thought that your life could change just because you give a bad rating to a game?

Kalandra just wanted to vent his frustration because of the disappointing ending of the game he played. He left scathing reviews and ratings, then intended to forget everything. 

However, fate says otherwise. When he opened his eyes, he was already in the body of Lucian Hale, aka Navien, the antagonist who died at the end of the main story game he played earlier. 

The Problem? He doesn't know any of the intricacies of this character other than the fact that Navien is the antagonist of the game. Now he has to survive in the game he plays and find a way to avoid a terrible ending by trying to avoid the main story, especially the protagonist!

The Villains Guide to Avoiding Doom

Schnee stood and walked to a shelf, pulling out a smaller, more detailed scroll focusing on the western region of the empire.

Returning to her desk, she unfurled it over the existing maps. The surface was aged; some ink had faded, but faint lines of a hidden path remained.

"There's an old border path used only by mercenaries and smugglers during wartime.  Few know of it," Schnee said, pointing to a nearly invisible line connecting two points on the map's edge.  She leaned closer, her index finger tracing the route.

"This is it. It passes through a narrow gap between canyons in the western highlands.  If I recall correctly, it's not far from Duke Hale's territory." She glanced at Lucian, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Interesting, isn't it?"

She tapped the path's endpoint. "Just follow it and head directly towards the outer ruins near the fortress. This route avoids official checkpoints."
