I Was Reincarnated as the Most Wicked Aristocrat Who Rules Over the Kingdom’s Darkness in an R-18 Eroge, but I Don’t Like Abnormal Situations, so I Tried to Live a Normal and Peaceful Life, but I’m Somehow in the Same Situation as the Original Scenario - Chapter 1 - Reincarnated as the Protagonist of an R-18 Rape-Themed Eroge

Chapter 1 – Reincarnated as the Protagonist of an R-18 Rape-Themed Eroge

“…How did this happen?”

Seeing my reflection in the mirror, I collapsed to the floor.

A dull sound echoed in the middle of my room.

“Aaaaaaahhhh…”

Despair and disappointment swirled in my chest. They unintentionally escaped from my mouth as a voice.

“Why… Of all people, why this guy…”

The Revenge of the Masked Demon and the Noble Slave.

Abbreviated as “Fuku-Sure.” (T/N: It’s the Japanese abbreviation)

This is one of the adult novel games released by Crank Up, a company that mainly develops adult games.

The genre is based around rape.

It tells the story of the life of Alvart Zesphilia, the young heir to a certain marquis family… But this boy, well, he’s terrible.

After a certain incident that awakened his great powers, he indulged in all his desires… Only to meet a brutal end.

Basically, I interpret rape-themed stories as something to enjoy to your heart’s content, but even so, this guy’s brazen arrogance was unbearable to watch.

So even as the protagonist, I understood that it was inevitable that I would be tortured to death by a certain character eventually and meet such a tragic end.

But I never imagined that I would be reincarnated as Alvart Zesphilia himself.

“This can’t be real. You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Sobbing, I cursed my fate.

When I met an extremely unpleasant end in my previous life, at that time, I wished from the bottom of my heart. If there really was such a thing as reincarnation…  I wanted to live a peaceful, safe, warm life in my next one.

But on the other hand…

I’ve been reincarnated as Alvart Zesphilia.

What awaits him in life is agony, hatred, and, karma at the end of the dark, twisted pleasures.

Everything has gone against my wishes.

What the hell is this?!!

“Haa… But still… What an ugly face…”

Seeing my face reflected in the mirror and seeing reality once again, my gloomy feelings intensified.

The Masked Demon in the title represents Alvart.

He suffers from a congenital disease called “demon possession,” which has caused the left half of his face to be deformed.

The right half is relatively normal, but the deformed, demonic features make his appearance look the worst.

“No matter how much I deny my situation or curse it… nothing will change… It’s true that my appearance is Alvart Zesphilia’s. However… my heart is undeniably still mine.”

I told myself in the mirror.

This life is my own, not Alvart’s.

If that’s the case, it should not be impossible for me to walk a path that he did not take and enjoy a peaceful, uneventful life.

…But I was foolish to think so.

The one who made me understand that was…

“Well then, Nii-sama. I look forward to working with you again today… okay?”

My younger twin sister. Lumiere Zesphilia.

She is truly a beautiful girl. WIth her beautiful blonde hair tied up in twin tails, she gives off the impression of a cute tsundere girl.

In reality, however…

“Hahahahahaha! You’re so weak!”

She was the textbook definition of a bratty little sister.

“How embarrassing it must be for you, getting beaten up like this by your own little sister~~! Aren’t you ashamed~~!?”

Alvart suffered from daily abuse. Mostly at the hands of this sister, Lumiere.

“Hey, Nii-sama~ I wonder what would happen if I just ripped off that mask-like face of yours?”

I’m sure that the distortion of Alvart’s personality———

“Hahahaha! This world doesn’t need a weak boy like Nii-sama!! That’s why I’m going to crush you☆”

——was mainly caused by Lumiere’s excessive bullying.

Sometimes she would shoot Alvart with magic, sometimes she would kick him in the groin, sometimes she would punch him in the stomach, and sometimes she would make fun of his disfigured face.

Living with this sadistic brat would be enough to break anyone’s spirit, but…

“Alvart, you don’t need to do anything anymore.”

His parents were also terrible.

Late at night, at the dinner table, his father’s cold words stabbed him to the heart.

“Because of your demon possession, I expected you to possess powerful supernatural powers. However… I can no longer wait. I’ve reached my limit.”

While those possessed by a demon bear the social handicap of being born with a disfigured appearance, they can sometimes awaken mysterious powers that could be called supernatural powers.

Yet, at this stage, there was no sign of such extraordinary powers within Alvart, and because of that…

“I will hand over the position of temporary head of the family to Lumiere.”

“Eh? Is that okay? But Lumi is a woman, though?”

“The person who leads the Zesphilia family must be strong. You are no doubt a woman, but as there is no one else worthy of taking over as head of the family, there’s no other choice.”

I had no intention of being the head of the family, so that in itself was not a big deal.

However…

“F-Father… What about my transfer to the academy…?”

“There’s no way I’d allow it. Why should I go out of my way to show the shame of my family to the daughters and sons of other families?”

“B-but then… What should I do from now on…”

In response to my question, Alvart’s father sighed deeply.

“I told you before. You don’t have to do anything. Even someone like you, a disgrace, still carries the blood of the family. As ruthless as I may be, I’m not cold-hearted enough to dispose of my own son, even if he is useless.”

In essence, his words meant: I won’t let you go to school, I have no intention of releasing you into the world, I’ll lock you in this detached house, and you will spend the rest of your life in vain.

…What a cruel twist of fate.

It’s exactly the same as the end of my previous life.

“This conversation is over. Once you finish eating, disappear.”

“Hahahaha! Poor Nii-sama~!”

I did as I was told, finished my meal, and quickly returned to my room.

And then I collapsed into bed… and recalled my life in my previous life.

Nothing in my life went well.

——During my student days.

I honed myself in order to achieve the rosy campus life that everyone dreams of. However, the person I had my heart set on——

——was snatched away from me in an instant by some flashy, good-looking guy.

After summer vacation, the innocent girl I liked had become a tanned gal, the type of girl her boyfriend liked.

Seeing that, I wanted to die.

——During my early adulthood.

Deciding that a student’s duty was to study, I bet everything on this half of my life as a working member of society.

By throwing all my otaku hobbies aside and working hard, I first managed to get into a prestigious university.

After graduating, I worked in the finance industry, and at a young age, I became an elite employee with an annual income of over 20 million yen. (Approx. 140k USD a year)

I was well-respected within the company, sometimes received invitations from the opposite sex, and whenever I went to alumni reunions, I was always hailed as “the most successful person in our class.”

However…

My life as a working adult that everyone envied was worthless.

One day, I suddenly realized.

What I had been looking for was a warm life.

Looking at myself back then, what was the result of all my efforts?

My student days were filled with anguish. Is the culmination of all that really something desirable?

…No. Absolutely not.

My male peers regarded me with envy and jealousy.

I never knew when someone might stab me in the back.

The opposite sex only cared about my position and the money I had.

I could never tell when they might leave me.

…Looking at the situation objectively, my heart sank into the depths of despair.

What I gained after throwing everything away was…

A body fat with greed.

A tiny self-esteem.

And a deep mistrust of others.

Soon after I realized that was all I had, I quit my job.

I became a hikikomori (NEET) and devoted myself to my otaku hobbies in order to reclaim what I had thrown away.

Those days were truly——

Truly, truly, truly——

“——Truly a meaningless waste of time.”

Eventually, I developed depression, gave in to my impulses, and committed suicide.

But even at that terminal stage, I still couldn’t bring myself to “become nothing”…

That’s why… I made a wish. If there really was such a thing as reincarnation… I wished for a warm and calm life.

Without the pain of being special.

Without the pain of being inferior.

I just wanted to live a life of peace and tranquility.

That’s why…

“…This is my chance. To correct the wrongs of my past life.”

I accepted what was appropriate and live an average half-life.

What I couldn’t achieve in my previous life, I will fulfill in this world.

“…To do that…”

As much as it pains me, I have to follow part of the original story’s scenario.

First, I need to change my environment.

The brat who takes pleasure in tormenting me, and the parents who deem me worthless and intend to confine me for life.

To deal with them, I must…

“…At this point, Alvart Zesphilia is a complete weakling. It’s only natural for me to be called incompetent and be seen as a failure. However…”

Right now, the only magic I can use is low-level. Even so…

If I were to hit the back of my head at point-blank range without any defense.

It would be enough to take a life, no matter how low-level magic it is.

And like that.

“Fireball——”

Just like in my previous life, I took my own life with my own hands.

T/N: Another suicide? I definitely didn’t see that coming…
