They said dying in front of your screen was a meme.They were wrong. It was my final boss fight.

  My name—well, was—Leon, known online as HellLord_Zero. Number one in Kingdom Conqueror: Eternal Wrath, hardcore mode, no save slots, one million players, one crown. I was the guy who spent sleepless nights forging alliances, backstabbing nobles, and optimizing troop movements like a caffeinated Sun Tzu. Until I quite literally strategized myself into a heart attack.

  Irony? I died winning.

  But death didn’t hit "Game Over." No, it hit New Game+… and dropped me straight into the very world I conquered.Only this time, I'm not the hero.I’m the villain. The baby villain.

  Yes. A literal screaming, diaper-wearing infant.

  Born in a powerless, magic-deprived wasteland kingdom with a drunk older brother, a genius sister banned from ruling because she has ovaries, and a king who hates me more than lag hates PvP. Why? Oh, just because my reincarnation killed his beloved queen during childbirth. Classic.

  But the universe wasn’t done trolling me.

  Because the character I reincarnated into? He was meant to die. A plot device. A stepping stone for the chosen hero.Except I know the game. I know the world. I know how this all ends.And I don’t plan on playing fair.

  So, to the magic kingdoms who laugh at us, the sword empires who mock us, and the elves who think they're better than everyone?

  You better pray to your glowing gods and pixel-perfect prophecies—Because the villain is awake.And he plays to win.
