ThezytheReborn

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.

Screw you Otome Game!I'm outta here!

Somewhere on the Road – Immediate Regrets

And to top it all off, I was riding a stolen horse with a very obvious noble crest on its saddle.

The Reality of Being a Runaway Villain

The night air was cold as hell, and the dirt road beneath me stretched endlessly into the distance.

I just knew that if I stayed in my family's estate, I'd be dead.

But now that the adrenaline was fading…

I realized just how screwed I actually was.

✔ No Money – I left everything behind. I had zero gold, no bank access, and no emergency funds.

✔ No Contacts – In the game, I had zero allies because I was a disposable villain.

✔ No Plan – My entire strategy was "run away and figure it out later."

I groaned. "Goddamn it. I should've at least stolen some money first."

The horse neighed, clearly judging me.

I glared at it. "Don't give me that sh*t. I saved your ass too."**

The Bounty Announcement – Wanted: The Runaway Villain

I rode for hours before finally seeing signs of civilization—a small village on the horizon.

Finally. Maybe I could find food, shelter, and some information.

But as I approached, I heard something very concerning.

A town crier stood in the center of the village, holding up a royal decree.

"Attention, citizens! By order of the Royal Family—Lord Leonis Veldra is to be captured immediately!"

Reading My Own Bounty Like an Idiot

I quickly tied my horse outside the village and hid in the shadows, listening to the town crier.

✔ Wanted for: Treason against the Kingdom.

✔ Suspected Connection to Dark Magic.

✔ Reward for Capture: 10,000 Gold.

I blinked. "Treason? Dark Magic? What the f*ck are they talking about?"

And now they were making me sound like some shadowy crime lord plotting to overthrow the kingdom.

I groaned. "This is why I hate scripted stories. Everything has to be overdramatic."

Blending In – Step One of Not Getting Killed

I needed to get food, clothes, and a place to lay low.

But first—I had to change my appearance.

✔ Stole some commoner clothes off a laundry line.

Which, considering my situation, was painfully accurate.

I sighed. "Alright, time to see how badly I can f*ck up today."

And with that, I walked into the village.
