Chapter 2: The Start of My Nightmare
To start, let me tell you how all of this began.
Last night, I was just a regular high school student, playing A Fantasy Tale of Love. Despite its deceivingly romantic title, it was an insanely difficult and dark game that tormented its players. But I was different. I was a genius at the game.
I had cleared every single route.
Every boss.
Every hidden secret.
And when I finally finished the last route, becoming the first player to 100% the game…
—I got electrocuted.
The next thing I knew, I woke up naked in bed with Lilianna von Crimson.
Now, if any of you think, Oh, you got transmigrated! You have a beautiful, devoted wife who will do anything for you! Lucky bastard!
Let me tell you—like hell that's a good thing.
Yes, Lilianna can and will do anything for me. But the problem is… I'm destined to die.
Victor de Montclair, The Doomed Boss
In the game, my character, Victor de Montclair, is a mid-boss. And to be brutally honest, he doesn't even have the power to be one.
How does he make up for that?
Simple. A deal with a demon.
Yes, there is demon blood running in my veins.
When I transmigrated, I immediately checked my status, and sure enough—this Victor had already made the pact.
The cost?
His humanity.
Once his demonic blood overtakes him, he loses control, transforms into a monster, and completely loses his mind.
That's exactly how Victor dies in every route.
The lead characters corner him, expose his cruelty, and beat him in front of everyone. His rage and humiliation trigger his demonic transformation, and he goes berserk, only to be slain by the male lead.
Game over.
And now… that's my fate.
Why Demons Are the True Threat
Demons in this world aren't just another villain faction.
They are pure evil.
They thrive on death, destruction, and suffering. They don't want to coexist with humans; they want to slaughter them all and rule over the world.
Their leader—the so-called Demon God—wants absolute worship. Anyone who doesn't kneel? Dead.
Complete bullshit.
But in the game, the final battle is a cinematic masterpiece. The world's strongest warriors—the leads, major side characters, and countless soldiers—go all out against the Demon God and his army.
The entire player base loved this moment.
It was epic. It was beautiful.
And it was hell.
Because this isn't a game anymore.
This is my reality now.
My Current Situation: I'm Completely Fucked
I don't even have the strength to fight a goblin.
When I checked my RPG system, all my stats were at F-rank.
…Except for Charisma, which was at S-rank.
What the actual fuck?
I'm about as useful as a damn noble brat. The only thing I have going for me is that I look good while being useless.
In the game, the maximum stat is 999. If you could reach around 800, you could basically solo most bosses. But it was ridiculously difficult.
…Not for me, though.
I knew every exploit, every hidden power-up, every broken strategy. I had reached max stats (999) before.
And the best part?
There's a secret route that only unlocks after reaching 999.
But that's a long way off. Right now?
I'm weaker than a damn commoner.
My Death is Only a Few Months Away
In the game, Victor dies in every single route.
And now, I only have a few months before that happens.
But there's one difference—
This isn't a game anymore.
This is real life.
I'm not bound by the same script.
I can change things.
But how?
If anyone even suspects that I have demon blood, I'll be executed immediately.
And right now, I have no power.
But I do have one advantage.
Lilianna von Crimson: My Most Dangerous Weapon
Lilianna is my biggest asset.
She is strong, obsessive, and utterly devoted to me—to Victor.
She would burn the entire world before letting anything happen to me.
And that's my greatest advantage.
So, my first goal?
1. Make full use of Lilianna.
2. Find a way to suppress or hide my demon blood.
And the only answer to that…
…Is something only a gamer like me would know.
