Reincarnated as Hero’s Best Friend: The Ultimate Villain



Aric Everhart was once a ruthless strategist on Earth, but now he’s reborn as the best friend of Leon Valcrest — the future hero of the Astravell Empire. In the novel, Aric is meant to be Leon’s loyal companion, a powerful but tragic figure who sacrifices himself to save the hero.



But Aric refuses to die a meaningless death. Armed with the knowledge of the story and his SS Level talent, he plays the role of Leon’s supportive best friend while secretly plotting to twist fate in his favor. He showers Leon with trust and camaraderie, all while manipulating events from the shadows, pulling strings to ensure his survival and ultimate rise to power.



To the world, they’re the perfect pair — the heroic Leon and his steadfast best friend, Aric. But behind that facade, Aric’s mind is a labyrinth of schemes, and not even the hero is safe from becoming a pawn in his master plan.
