Rise of the Reluctant Overlord

A young man dies while saving a stranger, only to wake up in the body of a condemned villain prince in another world. He is hated by the people, disowned by the emperor, and scheduled for public execution in seven days.



But there's a twist—



“You have been chosen by the Heavenly Paradox System. You are now an Unpredictable Variable. You exist to mess with fate.”



Armed with a system that rewards him for doing the opposite of what is expected, he becomes the biggest wild card in the empire—chaotic, brilliant, funny, and dangerous.
