I Became the Childhood Friend of the Middle Boss

Chapter 0: Prologue

Fifth grade, the first day of the new school year.

A girl in my class stands up.

She was a girl who naturally drew attention.

“Hello, my name is Yeon Ha-neul.”

Her hair was endlessly white with a hint of blue, here red eyes were contrasting sharply with that hair and on top of her head, long rabbit ears that occasionally twitched.

Finally, a round rabbit tail.

She was an Ain (rabbit-human hybrid).

“….”

The moment I took her in with my eyes, I suddenly remembered my past life.

This world was the same as the world in the game I loved to play in my previous life.

“Ah…”

An action RPG where the protagonist, Kang Han-byul, enters an academy city to become a hunter.

Brave Hearts.

In that game, there was a cowardly swordsman who, due to a soft heart, couldn’t fully use his talents.

A disgrace to the Divine Sword Do family.

Rabbit, Do Gyeon-woo.

“…Shi-ba?” (an expletive)

A soft-hearted fool who doesn’t know how to hate!

A pushover who would rather suffer harm himself than see others hurt!

A crybaby who never even thought to fight back, no matter how much he was bullied!

‘Am I that infuriating character?’

Recalling my past life’s memories, I found myself utterly pathetic.

If I hadn’t remembered my past life, I would’ve continued living that way, evolving into the ultimate burden for the protagonist’s party.

‘Why did I live like that?’

Thankfully, it wasn’t too late.

I could still change.

I didn’t want to live like a fool anymore.

The problem was, despite the game having the feel of a youthful school life, the story wasn’t all bright and cheerful.

Even though there were 44 different endings, most of them were bad endings, and a significant number involved the destruction of the world.

And the girl who triggered my memories was also a problem.

“My hobbies are reading and listening to music…I also enjoy watching dramas. I hope we can get along well this year. Please take care of me.”

Was she a heroine? No, she wasn’t.

She was a villain.

And not just any villain.

She was a mid-boss, driven by despair and hopelessness from her unfortunate life, aiming to destroy the world.

One of the game’s bad ending flags.

She was the Witch of Calamity.

And now, I was in the same class as her.

“This is driving me crazy….”

It looked like I needed a plan.

For my sake—and for hers.
