Notice: This will be a long, long story, so it will be a slow burn for at least the first two arcs. But if you are interested in a long, wide-ranging story, I hope you will read. Notice 2: I will be fixing the grammar of the chapter within my story, around 5 per day, starting from 25/05/2025.

Logs and other special chapters are not included in this five-chapter count. Notice 3: All corrections are done.

He knew this world. Not because he had lived here before, but because he had once read about it in a novel he never finished. Now, somehow, he has become the long-lost biological son of one of the most powerful families—a true heir who disappeared years ago and has finally been brought home. But someone has already taken his place. The adopted son has spent years being loved as the perfect child and raised as the future heir. And now that the real son has returned, he has no intention of giving up the life he believes belongs to him. Smiles hide schemes. Kind words carry traps. Even a simple family dinner can become a battlefield. Fortunately, the new heir remembers a few things from the novel. Unfortunately… only a few. And as events begin changing from the story he remembers, he soon realizes that knowing part of the plot may not be enough to survive it. Because his return hasn’t simply changed who will inherit the family. It has changed the entire story.

What is the role of those third-rate villains in games or novels? I asked this question to myself quite a number of times. They don't have major screen time, but some of them have a huge effect on the storyline. And, if one of them hadn't played their role correctly, what would happen to the storyline? It seems like I am going to answer those questions since I became the third-rate villain in an RPG game. ------------------------------0----------------------------------- Chapter length 1000-2000 words.
