When I woke up, I found myself in an unfamiliar world.
“Where am I?”
I was startled by my own voice.
It sounded childish.
I looked around the room.
It’s an awfully luxurious room…
With a bad feeling in my gut, I walked over to a nearby mirror.
It seems my bad feeling was spot on.
“Of all people, Cain Valencia…”
It seems I’ve been reincarnated into a depressing game—and as the villain, no less…
That’s the name of this game.
As the name suggests, the story revolves around an academy…
But people die instantly—and in cruel ways. It doesn’t matter if they’re a background character or the heroine.
That’s why this game is called a “depressing game.”
Not only have I been reincarnated into such a world, but I’ve been reincarnated as the villain.
And Cain Valencia—aka Cain-kun—is a total piece of shit.
I guess I should go over his specs.
He has a cute face, he’s short, and he’s skinny.
He has talent for magic, but since he doesn’t put in the effort, he’s weak. His physical abilities are also extremely low, so if he ever got into a fistfight, he’d get beaten to a pulp in an instant.
If he were in the real world, he’d probably be number one on the “Boys I Want to Protect” list.
But in the game, that’s not how it goes.
The worst thing about this guy is how he uses his power to bully or kill the heroine and the protagonist.
And he does it without getting his own hands dirty…
For example, he’ll hire a band of thieves, enlist the Assassin’s Guild, or use his power to dominate his entire class… and so on.
As a result, there isn’t a single person who genuinely admires him from the bottom of their heart.
Judging by his appearance, I think I was reincarnated about two years before the story begins, but even now he has a pretty awful personality and keeps messing things up, so it’s doubtful he has any true allies—or even friends… no, he probably doesn’t have any.
Man, what am I supposed to do?
Seriously, what am I supposed to do?
It’s not just a matter of him not laying a hand on the heroines.
There’s another reason why this game is called a “depressing game.”
There’s no happy ending…
At least one heroine is guaranteed to die.
The author is seriously messed up.
There are plenty of reasons why the heroines die.
Killed by an assassin, killed because someone holds a grudge, bullied to death, or killed fighting monsters.
Probably the most common cause of death is dying in battle against monsters.
The monsters in this world are insanely strong, after all.
So even if I don’t interfere, it’s a certainty they’ll die.
I really don’t want that to happen.
In my past life, I loved every single heroine so much that I’d go crazy every time one of them died, so I want to protect her…
A brilliant idea pops into my head.
I’m hated by everyone anyway, and I’m the villain. Why not just save the heroine secretly from behind the scenes?
Cain is a character who’s destined to die near the end of the story.
If I’m going to die anyway, it’s better not to make a big show of myself.
That’s right—I’ll do that “self-sacrifice” thing everyone talks about.
If that’s the case, I need to start training ASAP.
Even though I have a talent for magic, I haven’t practiced, so I’m about as strong as any random mob. On top of that, my physical abilities are trash.
In this state, I won’t be able to protect a single person.
At the very least, I have to get strong enough to defeat the monster in “that ending”…
