A cursed CD game falls from the sky. I boot it up, build a ridiculously handsome villain with broken talents, and just as I hit “Start”—boom, I get electrocuted.

Now I’ve reincarnated as Lucien Caelum Valebrandt, a six-year-old noble and the infamous villain who helped the Abyssians win the last war.

Every 500 years, the Abyssian King is reborn. But when the 16 chosen heroes of this generation lost against the battle of the Abyssian King because of my character, the Goddess panicked—and rewound time.

Now those same heroes remember everything… and they want me dead.
Even though I just got here.

All I wanted was to play a game. Now I’m the villain blamed for destroying the world.

He looked down at his hands, half-expecting them to glow or burn or be marked in some mystical way—but they were normal. Flesh and blood.
