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!

Step 1: Get Stronger. Step 2: Blend In. Step 3: Don't F*cking Die.

After discovering my ability to steal strength and abilities from people I bite, I decided on my next move—

✔ Sneak into the academy to blend in.

Except for the part where I almost got mauled, poisoned, and eaten alive.

Monster Hunting – My First Real Fight

I found myself deep in the woods, searching for the perfect monster to test my new ability.

And like a f*cking idiot, I didn't start small.

I went straight for a giant, mutated f*cking bear.

Because I hate myself, apparently.

The beast towered over me, its black fur bristling, bloodshot eyes locked onto me like I was a goddamn snack.

I grinned. "Come on, you oversized carpet. Let's see what you got."

The bear roared—and immediately tore through a tree with a single swipe.

The Fight – Strategy? What's That?

A massive claw missed my head by inches.

My strike bounced off its hide like I was attacking a f*cking rock.

The bear swung again. I barely dodged, but it clipped my shoulder, sending me flying into a tree.

Pain shot through me. Okay. Not great.

That weird hunger kicked in again.

And suddenly, I wasn't just dodging.

Like some predator instinct had turned on.

Counterattack – Drinking the Damn Bear

The next time it attacked, I didn't dodge.

And sank my teeth into its f*cking neck.

Blood rushed into my mouth like pure, burning energy.

For a few seconds, I felt unstoppable.

With newfound strength, I grabbed its f*cking arm mid-swing and twisted.

I grinned. "Not so tough now, are you, you furry bastard?"

It tried to **swipe at me again—**but this time, I ducked and struck back.

"F*ck yeah. Who's the apex predator now?"

The system flickered in my vision.

✔ +5 Strength (Absorbed from Mutant Bear)

✔ +3 Endurance (Absorbed from Mutant Bear)

✔ New Ability: Beast Instincts (Passive) – Enhances reflexes and danger sense.

✔ New Ability: Berserk Mode (Locked Until Mastery)

I grinned. "Oh, this is gonna be fun."

Now that I proved my ability worked on monsters—it was time to move to Step 2.

Disguising as a Random Guy – The Perfect Crime

I reached the town near the academy but quickly realized—

✔ I couldn't just waltz in as Leonis Veldra.

I jumped a random rich-looking dude in an alley, knocked him out, and bit him.

Then I stole his ID, wallet, and became the new him.

I checked my reflection in a shop window.

I now looked like some generic rich noble with blond hair and a dumb noble face.

Now all I had to do was stay low and not attract attention.

And then—f*cking Seria Argent walked past me.

Seria. The heroine. The one person who saw my real face.

She had just entered the academy as a new transfer student.

She was walking straight toward me.

The Heroine's Suspicion vs. My Bullsh*t

Seria squinted at me. "...Do I know you?"

I forced a polite smile. "I don't think so, miss."
