In the world of Eternal Rose, an otome game filled with noble drama, romance, and powerful love interests, one character is destined to be nothing more than an early stepping stone—the arrogant young noble, Veyron Delacroix.
He’s a mid-tier villain, a disgrace to his family, and worst of all… a tutorial boss meant to die before the heroine even meets the real threats.
—Or at least, that’s how it was supposed to go.
Reincarnated as Veyron just days before his scripted defeat, he quickly realizes the developers gave him insane hidden potential, only for it to go completely unused in the actual game. His latent vampire bloodline, an ability to steal powers by drinking blood, and his insane combat skills? All wasted because the plot demanded he die early.
So what does he do?
Screw the script. He’s out.
Ditching the noble life, he vanishes into the world, doing whatever the hell he wants—from hunting monsters, stealing forbidden magic, and maybe accidentally creating a criminal empire along the way. Meanwhile, the game’s heroine is left confused as hell when she arrives at his supposed defeat event, only to find her “destined enemy” missing.
With broken potential, a foul mouth, and zero interest in playing by the rules, Veyron is about to turn this romantic noble drama into an absolute power fantasy disaster—and he’s going to enjoy every second of it.
Because if fate wanted him dead, he’ll just become strong enough to flip fate the middle finger.
