Cain’s read the stories, of course. ‘Reborn in a magical world!’ ‘Starting again as an Overpowered Hero!’ ‘Reincarnated in another world with max stats and a harem despite having zero personality!’ Yeah. He’s well aware of this particular genre. Not really his cup of tea if he were to say so himself. So when it happens to him, and he’s sent into a widely popular Otome Game, Cain is less than enthused. To make matters worse, he’s stuck as a second-rate Villain known only for his pretty face and his terrible personality. Maybe some would be content with this. Maybe some would dedicate themselves to working their ass off to try to become a ‘hero,’ overcoming the odds and proving everyone wrong about him, but Cain’s got bigger plans. Guess he’ll have to figure out how to achieve his ultimate ‘goal’ in another world before the clock hits midnight. Now, if only the Game’s system wasn’t so intent on trying to stop him… Expectations System Mechanics Present Dark themes, explicit mentions of Suicide and other Sensitive Topics Possible Romance in the future for the MC and other Characters, though not heavily focused on, including F/F, M/M, F/M.
