The Original Novel's Storyline – If Transmigration Never Happened
If I hadn't transmigrated into Edric Von Ainsworth, the story would have followed its original plot—the one written by some stupid author who clearly loved making things dramatic.

Edric – The Grade-A Scumbag
In the original novel, Edric was nothing more than a low-grade villain, a spoiled noble brat who thought the world revolved around him.
He bullied servants, treated commoners like garbage, and spent his time drunk on alcohol and lust.
He had zero redeeming qualities, just a pathetic excuse for a human being whose only role in the story was to be a stepping stone for the hero.

The Backstory – How the Ainsworths Took in Safina
Years ago, a kind noble couple saved two orphaned children from danger.
Those children?
Leon Brightbane and Safina Brightbane.
The boy would later become the hero, chosen by fate to wield the Holy Sword and fight against the Demon King.
The girl, Safina, was taken in as a servant for the noble family—the Ainsworths.
She was given the position of personal maid to their son, Edric Von Ainsworth.
At first, everything was fine.
Edric wasn't always a monster.
But then…
Something changed.

Edric's Descent Into Madness
As he grew older, Edric turned into a complete piece of shit.
He became a drunken, lust-driven scumbag who thought of Safina as nothing more than his personal toy.
He bullied her, humiliated her, and treated her like she was worthless.
And it only got worse with time.
Until one day…
He went too far.

The Event That Sealed His Fate
One night, Edric tortured Safina to the extreme.
She had endured years of abuse, but that day was the breaking point.
Desperate, she wrote a letter to her brother, Leon Brightbane—the hero.
Leon loved his sister more than anything.
And when he read that letter…
He saw red.

Edric's Death – The Hero's Justice
Leon stormed into the Ainsworth mansion without hesitation.
He didn't argue. He didn't negotiate.
He drew his sword and cut down Edric where he stood.
The scumbag died instantly, his body crumbling to the floor in a pool of blood.
And the world rejoiced.

The Aftermath – A Good Ending?
Edric's parents—Valerian and Seraphina—did not defend him.
They loved their son, but they were righteous people.
They despised how he had turned out.
And Safina was not just any servant—she was the hero's blood sister.
No one mourned Edric's death.
In fact, most people were happy he was gone.
The Ainsworth family moved on without him.
---
What Happened Next?
Leon continued his journey to defeat the Demon King.
Alicia Von Ainsworth—Edric's stepsister—was defeated by the hero for the first time in her life. This loss made her fall for him, and she eventually joined his harem.
The Ainsworth family still supported the hero:
Seraphina (Edric's mother) helped Iris Emberflame learn to control her unstable flames.
Valerian (Edric's father) trained two swordsmen in Leon's party.
In the end, the story progressed smoothly.
No one remembered Edric.
No one cared that he ever existed.
And that was the original plot of the novel—written by some stupid author who thought making one character a total scumbag and killing him off was great storytelling.

But Now…
I am Edric.
And this time…
Things are different.
