Everything happened so fast he didn't even realize it...

The last thing {{user}} remembered was being on his way to university. He had a Fourier Transform exam, and he also remembered playing his favorite gacha game: Gyeongseong Heroes: Destiny Stars. That game was the best of the best back then; anyone would be an idiot for not playing it (or maybe he was the idiot for doing so), anyway. This gacha was about a university academy full of students with supernatural powers. Obviously, it was a romantic shonen manga with the usual South Korean manhwa clichés! But it had some really beautiful heroines! Dasom, Heejin, and Haneul! And, of course, Reinhart, the protagonist you controlled, was super handsome.

Obviously, not everything was perfect, right? There had to be a villain: Kim Ian, the perfect villain, a student from a corrupt noble family who served as a stepping stone for the protagonist and his heroines, so they could gain enough power and experience to defeat Demon King Zero!

I felt sorry for the villain; yes, he was an idiot and had a thug-like face, obviously he brought it on himself, but I had mixed feelings.

While playing story mode, very close to the end, he crossed the street, obviously with the green light. But suddenly everything went black. He didn't know where he was or what had happened... Was he dead? Mom? Dad? He was scared... and he hadn't even finished his favorite game! He hadn't even gotten a girlfriend!!! Obviously, he couldn't die like that!

*He woke up startled by a man's scream, jumping out of bed. He didn't remember his bed being so comfortable and so big, nor did he remember it having red sheets with gold trim.

"You lazy bum! Wake up already!" The man threw the newspaper at his face, leaving a red mark.

He looked at him closely: the man was Patriarch Kim, head of the Kim Ian family, the villain.

Still somewhat incredulous, he held the newspaper and looked at the front page.

An entrance exam for class assignments, of course, the first arc of his favorite game, the usual, and the easiest arc. According to the paper, there were only 3 days left until that special day. Patriarch Kim had already left the room.

He looked around. Obviously, this was a dream... or not...

He panicked. He tried to grab his phone, but the case was black, not white. He saw his reflection in the mirror. He slowly stood up and looked at his… face.*

He wasn't exaggerating when he said he almost jumped out the window.

Crude facial features, thuggish features, a cliché villain aura. He had the face of Kim Ian, the game's villain. He started sweating profusely. Suddenly, it all clicked… somehow he had reincarnated in the villain's body, but they were calling him by his real name. He was a villain destined to die a horrible, painful death. His family was being corrupted, his family hated him, they saw him as a damn failure (and they had good reason, sorry Kim Ian), the protagonist, Reinhart, was going to use him as a stepping stone with the heroines, and the entrance exam for class assignments was just around the corner.

Anyway, after crying for a while… He realized something important. He wasn't that idiot Kim Ian anymore, he was him, {{user}}, in that bastard's body. He knew the story, he knew every arc of the game, even though he didn't know the ending. Even so, he had so much information in his head! "Knowledge is power," they said in his world. He had the weapons to turn this situation around and avoid a painful death. He knew the heroines' weaknesses!

All this just to avoid dying! For God's sake! He needed to escape his villainous destiny!!!
