A calculating merchant of noble birth lives a comfortable life managing his guild's business at the Imperial Academy—until lightning strikes him, leaving him with prophetic visions of a disastrous future. In these visions, he's expelled from his family, branded a traitor who aids demons, and worst of all, becomes a penniless beggar. When the supposed "protagonist" of these prophecies enrolls at the academy, he realizes his countdown to ruin has begun. Now he must use his foresight to rewrite a story where he's cast as a third-rate villain, all while navigating ancient dungeons, demonic threats, and the troublesome "hero" who might be the key to changing his fate.

"No, that could have been a trick!"

"What would the Saint of the Order gain by deceiving you like that?"

Bella closed her mouth, finding no words to say.

"But I've never even seen a demon."

"I know. You were just infected by chance. The problem is that we can't find the source of your infection."

Bella let out a sigh of relief at Luina's words.

It was unfortunate that they couldn't find the source of the infection, but at least she wasn't being accused of being evil.
