I Reincarnated as a Mob Villain in a Game World I Had Been Playing~ Using My Knowledge of the Game, I Lived a Carefree Life but for Some Reason I Became Famous Everywhere~ - Chapter 1 - Reincarnation

Chapter 1 – Reincarnation

The city is surrounded by walls tens of meters high.

One day in the city…

“I’ve finally found you! Come on, let’s go!”

“……”

When eating at an inn, a red-haired girl suddenly pulled him by the arm.

After looking beside him, he saw a beautiful woman and a carriage-puller smiling at him.

As if to say, “Please take care of me.”

On another day…

“I have finally found you. Please come to our house.”

“……”

When eating at an inn, a white-haired girl suddenly pulled him by the arm.

After looking beside him, he saw an elegant woman and a carriage-puller smiling at him.

As if to say, “Please take care of me.”

On another another day…

“Hey, play with Remy.”

“……”

When eating at an inn, a blonde girl suddenly pulled him by the arm.

After looking beside him, he saw a graceful woman and a carriage-puller smiling at him.

As if to say, “Please take care of me.”

For every invitation, if he shook his head ‘no’, the girl would pull him with such force that he would almost fall out of his chair.

“Come on, come on, just for a little bit.”

And then the woman and the carriage-puller would jump in and assist him.

On another another another day…

“Hey, hey, will you spar with me today? I tried to fix the habit you pointed out.”

“…… (give me a break)”

“Don’t ignore me. Look, it’s me.”

When eating at an inn, a treasure hunter in silvery white gear said to him.

The woman removed her armor from her head, revealing a beautiful face.

“If you make physical contact… (I’ll) You’ll die.”

“Wha! You could have gone a bit easy on me.”

A treasure hunter, rumored to be the strongest in the city, seems to have no doubt that she would be seriously wounded.

How on earth did it come to this?

It goes back some time.

＊＊＊＊

In the middle of a dark forest, with a small stream flowing nearby…

“—Oi. rookie!”

“Y-Yes.”

“We’re going to bed, keep an eye on things. We’re paying you a lot of money just to get us out of Wafer City, so you should at least do this.”

“…Ah, yes.”

“If the slaves raise their voices, hit them a little bit. Well, I don’t think they’ve got the energy left.”

“Y-Yes…”

The one man replied, and all the rough and muscular men entered the tent.

With weapons such as large swords, blades and axes.

“……”

It was a sight that was impossible in the real world, a sight that had never been seen before.

How on earth did this happen?

The nameless rookie mob man, who was supposed to have died in an accident earlier, lit up a candle and took a deep breath to regain his composure.

“I don’t understand…”

The puzzled voice mist over the silent forest.

This is…Fancy Fantasy (FF) world…?

The man looked up at the sky and saw two moons, a red moon and a blue moon. This is also an impossible sight in the real world, a scene that has been used in the design of FF game packages.

FF is a fantasy game in which players explore, fight, and grow through experience. 

This is a game that this man has played for hundreds of hours.

And it looks like I’m with the bad guys…

It’s been said before, that man should have been involved in an accident just a few minutes ago, but suddenly he was in this situation. 

He said it himself, things can only be explained with a simple “I really don’t understand.”

“W-Why did this happen…”

Touching his entity while whispering to himself, he realized that he is alive in this world. 

His face, build, skin texture, clothes, and everything else was different. The man turned around with such a strange feeling in his heart.

“……”

There was an iron cage on the back of the carriage. 

It was impossible to see them completely in the darkness, but the silhouettes of three people were faintly visible.

The man knows this because he’s played the game. The villains are always set to be defeated characters.

He doesn’t know how the game system and this world are interacting, but if it remains the same, then what awaits him is a bad ending.

I have to get away from here…

He’d rather leave than die.

There was no point in fulfilling this character’s role in the first place. His ego took the obvious choice.

One fortunate thing for this man is that he’s familiar with this world.

Because of that, he was determined to leave.

Returning evil for evil won’t get me punished… Hopefully…

The man scurried around and quickly took the money bag and map from the carriage.

Then, he got out of the carriage, approached the iron cage without making a sound, and lit a candle inside. 

Two girls instantly reacted with a jolt. And an unresponsive girl was lying down.

They were all dirty and in poor conditions.

—From the girls’ perspective, the man is a bad guy. Actually, because the man has never been hostile towards anyone, he became awkward with his words.

“O-Oi, I’m getting you out.”

“!!!”

“!”

“……”

When he called out to them, the two girls reacted with the same jolt as before. The other girl was as unresponsive as ever, but the man couldn’t afford to care at that moment.

If the other villainous characters found out about this conversation, it’d be the end for the man.

“Um… Let’s run away together.”

The man would feel guilty about running away by himself. In addition, he’s stealing money as well.

The man believed that his words and actions, done in an attempt to restore balance through acts of kindness, would bring the girls joy. But…he got no response whatsoever.

The red-haired girl looked down and the white-haired girl shook her head with her eyes closed. The blonde girl remained unresponsive. No one took him up on his offer.

“Huh?”

“Why?” The two girls, the girl with the red hair and the girl with the white hair, asked.

“…I know you’re trying to trick me. Don’t mess with me…don’t…”

“…If you wanted to help, why not from the start…”

The red-haired girl had a look of disdain in her eyes, and the white-haired girl threw questions at the man with her eyes closed.

It was as if these girls also have an ego.

“……”

Frankly, the man thought the girls were being unreasonable. But looking from their perspective, it was a valid argument.

“Look, I can’t answer that. It’s a pity that things didn’t go your way.”

Did the man look that menacing? Or were the girls just trying to rebel on their own way?

Either way, the man was hurt, but he also realized that he approached the situation wrongly.

“…F-First of all I’m really sorry for the delay in helping. I needed time to blend in with the enemy.”

First, he bowed his head.

“That’s why I was forced to do a lot of work just to join up with them from Wafer City. I’m actually…a spy.”

“……”

“……”

The first priority was to make them believe that he was on their side now, even if he had to lie from the beginning to the end. 

As if to prove a point, he took the key from his belt and unlocked the cage soundlessly.

Once the bad guys saw this scene, there would be no more excuses. From this point on, it was a race against time.

“So come on, hurry up. If they catch me doing this, I’m dead. I’m already breaking out in a cold sweat.”

Even though it’s a game world, the man can’t approach it with the same mindset as a game. He desperately tried to appeal, but it just didn’t work.

“I-I want to run away…but I can’t…”

“Y-You can’t…?”

“I originally have a leg disability, so…I’m not in a condition to escape from here…”

“Huh?”

“As you can see, I am blind…”

“Huh?”

“That girl… Remy is already so weak…Her physical condition is affecting her, so even if she manages to escape this place, she’ll drop dead…”

“Huh?”

The man had been playing this game for a long time, but he didn’t know about this kind of setting. 

Looking back on it now, this kind of storyline was never in the game.

No, that’s not it.

He wasn’t reincarnated as the main character from the game that he played.

“I know you’re not an enemy… Just knowing that makes me feel a little better…”

“Your sentiments are understood. Thank you.”

“We can’t escape, so lock the cage.”

“We might still survive if we stay captured.”

The red-haired girl with a limp and the blind white-haired girl told the man.

It was precisely because they were facing reality that they made that decision, but…

The blonde girl who had been unresponsive all along was the only one who was different. 

“Ugh… Uuu…”

Summoning her last strength, as if trying to grab the last bit of help, she was lying on her side, shaking her thin arms and reaching out to the man.

“Y-Yeah, you’re right. We should escape. I can carry all three of you.”

“W-What are you talking about…”

“It’s dark outside…”

“I know the area and I have a map, it’s fine.”

This forest, which is to the west of Wafer City, is called the Kadia Forest.

The map was carefully marked with a point that seemed to be the current location. It might not be exact, but as long as they could get an approximate idea, they would be fine.

“Come on, hurry up, you guys. Grab on, let’s get out of here.”

With his voice, he carried the weakened blonde girl on his back. And with the red-haired girl and the white-haired girl, both determined to escape, they fled the place without making a sound.

Although the man was short of breath due to the extreme tension, he kept checking behind him over and over again to see if any pursuers were coming.

Looking at the map, there is Ardia City that I named myself. Maybe my game data is in this world…?

With such thoughts in his mind, the man continued to walk along the stream, looking for a way out. With a little bit of hope, he headed for Ardia City…
