“Why Did You Piss Him Off? He’s the Evil God’s Lackey!”
Chapter 1：Transmigrated into a Villain: Hellish Beginning

Chapter 1：Transmigrated into a Villain: Hellish Beginning

"Viktor, you've really made a name for yourself!"

From the study came a woman's angry shouts.

A beautiful woman with short black hair held up a newspaper, pointing at the portrait printed on it by magic stone, fuming with anger.

"Are you trying to completely disgrace the 'Kravina' family name?"

Slap!

The newspaper was thrown into the man's face.

He remained expressionless as he removed the paper.

His obsidian-like bright eyes quietly scanned the contents of the newspaper.

The man in the newspaper had well-defined features. Even on this black and white printed paper, one could see the man's excessive handsomeness.

It was a face capable of captivating thousands of young girls.

But this didn't include the girl in front of the man.

The man's gesture seemed to be inviting the girl, but in the picture, the girl declined with a smile.

The smile seemed to carry a hint of disdain.

Bang!

A sound pulled him back from his thoughts.

The woman in front of him — Lia Kravina — slammed her hand on the desk.

"I asked you to represent the family at the banquet, and you publicly confessed to the Duke's daughter at the party!?"

"She's still underage! Have you lost your mind?"

Yes, the content of the newspaper read:

【Shocking! Viscount Kravina Does This at the Duke's Daughter's Banquet!】

I must say, this newspaper knows how to grab attention.

If he had seen such a headline himself, he might have spent a few coins to buy a copy as entertainment for afternoon tea.

Unfortunately, the subject of this newspaper headline's entertainment was himself.

Viktor Kravina.

He looked at the mirror on the desk, and the reflection matched exactly with the handsome man in the newspaper.

But as someone who had just transmigrated today, without any memories,

Viktor didn't want to take the blame for this.

Although, faced with the woman's angry shouts, he could only remain silent.

If a mentally ill person kills someone and claims they did it because they were mentally unstable, can they avoid the death penalty?

They actually can.

The premise is that you need to have such a certificate.

Viktor didn't have one.

He could only listen to her insults while lowering his head in silence.

But this attitude of seeming to let the words go in one ear and out the other seemed to raise her anger level even more.

Finally, ending with the phrase "I must be crazy to think you would actually listen," she concluded this one-sided scolding.

Viktor was also able to sort out the information he could gather during this lengthy scolding that lasted for dozens of minutes.

The arrangements in the study, as well as the appearance of the short-haired beauty in front of him, all matched 100% with a game he had played in his previous life.

It was an adventure-type MMORPG game, or "Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game."

In this world of swords and magic, players could create their own faces, play different races, experience different professions, and enjoy various storylines and challenges.

And his profession.

Was a power leveler.

This game also required levels, and if you weren't a pay-to-win player, you needed to grind for various resources and materials.

If players didn't want to spend money but didn't have extra time to gain levels and materials, that's when they needed power levelers.

At the same time, in some PvP (Player vs Player) ranking matches, when players needed to rise to ranks that didn't match their actual strength, they also needed the help of power levelers.

This was what he did in his previous life, and he had quite a reputation in the power leveling circle.

Just yesterday, he had spent seven days without eating or sleeping to finally complete the seventeenth order he had taken on this month.

Just as he was about to settle the account.

Bam, he died suddenly.

His transmigration was just that plain and unremarkable.

Back to the point, the character he had transmigrated into was named 【Viktor Kravina】.

His status was that of a viscount.

In a country like the Kingdom of Carencia, which allocated power and status based on a title system, his position as a viscount was more of a symbolic identity.

Apart from having a territory, he didn't have many other special privileges.

In the eyes of commoners, Viktor was naturally a powerful and influential figure.

But... getting involved with the Duke's daughter?

A viscount was no match for a duke.

"As expected of a villain boss, starting at hell difficulty," Viktor muttered to himself.

"What did you say?"

Lia's voice rose a few degrees, as if confused, or perhaps expressing dissatisfaction with his nonchalant attitude.

This naturally drew Viktor's gaze to his nominal sister.

Lia Kravina.

In the game, she was Viktor Kravina's sister.

Due to her extremely high appearance stats, she was one of the few female characters in the game that players chased after, calling her 'waifu'.

Lia's high popularity was also inseparable from her having a "villain brother".

Viktor Kravina was a boss character that players had to defeat in the early to mid-game.

Due to a series of actions by Viktor Kravina, the political power of the Kingdom of Carencia was overthrown.

The current Empress issued a quest, seeking help from players to defeat Viktor Kravina.

And this villain character, with various tags such as 【High attack and speed, difficult to defeat】, 【High appearance】, 【Scumbag Mage】, inexplicably gained quite a bit of popularity.

Overall, transmigrating into a familiar game should have been a happy thing.

But he wasn't feeling too good.

Because...

Viktor's enemies were truly numerous.

Perhaps it was because the tall tree catches the wind, or maybe it was the malice of the plot designers towards handsome guys.

In the game, any NPC the player encountered could potentially have a grudge against Viktor.

It could be a teacher from the magic academy, an elderly man in the village.

Even a dog by the roadside might have been kicked by Viktor.

More ridiculously, even a series of main storyline characters wanted to kill him.

This included Viktor's fiancée, Viktor's sister, and the Duke's daughter.

This was also the origin of Viktor's title, 【Scumbag Mage】.

There were only a few well-known female characters with high appearance stats, and Viktor himself had offended most of them.

The fact that he was still alive was testament to Viktor's superior skills.

And now, he had replaced the original Viktor, becoming the current Viktor...

Just the hatred accumulated by his original self was enough to give him a hard time.

'I wonder what time it is now.'

After Lia's earlier inquiry, he didn't mutter this out loud this time.

He just thought about it a little in his heart.

But Viktor's pondering once again made Lia in front of him feel that he was deliberately not speaking to humiliate her.

Her anger immediately maxed out.

"Enough! Viktor, do you have any idea what situation you're in?"

She angrily pulled out a contract from her designer handbag and threw it on the desk.

"If I hadn't used my connections to contact the academy and have them immediately draft a professor title for you, the Duke's private army would have been at your mansion door by now!"

"But you're sitting leisurely in the study, drinking coffee and reading books! Even now, you don't even want to say a word of thanks!"

"Thank you."

"I hate you like... Eh?"

Lia's words faltered slightly, she blinked, even forgetting how to vent her anger.

Viktor sat in his seat, took the contract, and while looking at it, said, "Thank you for handling these things for me. Next time in public, I'll be more careful with my words."

"..."

Seemingly unaccustomed to her notoriously infamous brother suddenly saying a word of thanks, Lia's finger restlessly twirled a strand of her hair.

Her mood became a bit complicated.

"Anyway, I did this just to avoid bringing shame to the family, and I can only solve it temporarily. You'll have to go and apologize to the Duke's side yourself."

"Also, don't just thank me, think about how to deal with Miss Gwen."

"Gwen Delin?"

"Yes, my nomination alone naturally wouldn't be enough to make the academy agree, so I asked Miss Gwen for help."

At this point, Lia's eyes cooled a few degrees, looking at Viktor as if looking at a worm.

"Having a fiancée, yet still trying to flirt around."

"As expected of you, Mr. Viktor."

Viktor actively filtered out the latter part of that sentence.

"Although I don't know if you've misunderstood something, I will thank her."

In his mind, he recalled this character.

Gwen Delin.

The second daughter of the knight family guarding the northern border, and also Viktor's fiancée in the game's plot.

She was a true righteous knight, and a righteous knight was destined to stand in opposition to a villain mage.

In the game, although this justice-filled knight was Viktor's fiancée, the two never stood on the same side.

Even in the final plot to defeat Viktor, it was Gwen who arrived and ended Viktor's life with a single spear thrust.

The relationship between these two seemed more like a forced family alliance marriage, without a hint of affection.

The fact that the great knight Gwen personally stabbed Viktor to death seemed to indirectly confirm the players' speculations.

Unfortunately, the dog plot writers never mentioned the backstory between these characters, and until the end, the relationship between them could never be confirmed.

'Another dangerous character has been added.'

Sighing slightly in his heart, Viktor felt that life was extremely difficult.

Gwen Delin was no small character.

As the strongest knight in the Kingdom of Carencia, even in the late stages of the game during the chaos of gods and demons, her combat power remained amazingly strong.

In the late game, Gwen Delin would even become a boss that players had to face, and during that time, the formidable strength of the great knight Gwen was clearly imprinted in the hearts of every game player.

Regarding her combat power, Viktor had a clear understanding.

This woman absolutely could not be provoked.

Otherwise, he would really die.

Although he had transmigrated, it seemed he didn't have any cheat abilities he could use.

As if seeing that Viktor was a bit at a loss, Lia felt inexplicably pleased in her heart.

She thought it was his arrogance not allowing others to help, but in reality, Viktor was just pondering how to protect himself in this seemingly inevitable deadly ending.

"Hmph, there are still some matters to handle in the territory, I have to go back."

Lia laughed coldly, picked up her handbag, and prepared to leave.

"Oh, by the way."

As she was about to leave, Lia turned her head back and glanced at Viktor with a pitiful look.

"To keep a crow as a pet, and one with only one eye at that."

"Your aesthetic taste is still as terrible as before."

Bang!

The study door was closed.

The voice of the maid could still be heard from outside.

'Miss Lia, do you need me to prepare a carriage for you?'

But at this moment, Viktor's thoughts couldn't focus on the departing Lia.

He turned his head and saw a pitch-black creature in the corner of the desk.

It looked like a crow, but slightly larger.

And just as Lia had said.

It had only one eye.

That eye seemed to be full of humanity, rolling about inquisitively.

Finally, its single eye met Viktor's gaze.

Then, it displayed a humanlike smile.

"Hello, I am the dark god — Habika."
