Dying once was enough, but facing a thousand different execution methods is a whole new level of hell. Kim Woojin thought he was just adding a bit of flavor to a digital mid-boss—a way to vent his frustrations after a messy breakup—but he never expected to wake up in the man’s shoes. Now, he is Deculein von Yukline, a cold-blooded noble destined to be slaughtered by the protagonist. With a survival rate of exactly 0.1 percent and death flags planted in every corner of the empire, he is forced to navigate a cutthroat world of magic and betrayal using only his wits and the small tweaks he made to his character’s personality. He has to play the part of the arrogant villain perfectly while desperately rewriting the script that demands his head. It is a suffocating, high-stakes gamble where one wrong word means a gruesome end. He didn’t ask for this life, but he will be damned if he lets it end as a footnote in someone else’s story.
