It is a romance fantasy novel whose serialization was discontinued at episode 97.
As soon as I saw the announcement, I couldn’t help but be shocked.
The [Returning Villain, Sophia], which started as a writer’s hobby, definitely had frequent typos and seemed lacking in writing skills, and the story was also full of clichés, but I evaluated it as worth reading in my own way.
“ha… … . But this guy must have been black?”
I created the story while imagining the back part of the story in my head.
Time to maximize the reader’s imagination.
However, when I heard the announcement that the series would be discontinued, I let out a small sigh with an expression of regret.
-This stop is the OO station. The next stop is… … .
“Oops, I need to get off here.”
After taking the hazardous materials industry technician certification exam, I sighed lightly on the bus.
I passed the written test once and took the practical test three times, but during the test I expected to pass.
And after confirming that someone had shared a question and answer in an internet cafe, I immediately took out the worksheet from my bag.
“Is it 86 points? No, if you don’t give partial credit for this problem, it’s 82 points.”
After all, the pass mark has been exceeded.
24 years old this year.
I went to university for 2 years from the age of 20. After working for two years as a social worker, he took a year off from school to prepare for his license.
Now that the unemployment rate is starting to rise, I decided to increase my chances of getting a job by getting a license.
“Whoa, I need to go to a PC room.”
I got off the bus and walked straight to the PC room located in the alley of OO building.
A new PC room where you can use 1 hour for 500 won as an open event.
Did the acceptance lighten your heart?
I entered the building with slightly excited steps.
[Rush PC]
The Rush PC room, which has high-end PCs installed with flashing neon lights, was crowded with people, perhaps thanks to the open event.
I looked around. Then, I sat down in an empty seat in the smoking seat, and immediately turned on the PC.
buzz buzz.
There was a commotion at the counter.
I tilted my head and took off my headset.
Then, I slowly shook my head.
“what’s the matter?”
I witnessed a middle-aged man spitting out abusive language at someone.
A middle-aged man with a blushing face.
He swung his fist at a young man, and the young man lightly dodged the middle-aged man’s fist and shoved the middle-aged man’s shoulder with both hands.
Courage!
The middle-aged man fell to the floor as he grabbed the computer monitor.
It’s a sight you’d see on the news or social media.
“however… … Isn’t that too harsh?”
The moment I frowned, the middle-aged man took something out of his arms.
“Huh… … !”
I jump! I took a breath.
My heart started pounding.
The lighter that the middle-aged man held in his right hand.
And when I looked closely, the ground, centered on the middle-aged, was covered with some kind of liquid.
Turning my head slightly, I noticed what appeared to be a gasoline canister on the wall of the PC room.
‘Mi-crazy!?’
The middle-aged face looked really mentally insane.
“Kuhhhhh… … . why me… … It’s just me who has to be like this. Why are you all laughing!”
“Oh, I see! I get it, so give it to me right now.”
Seeing the middle-aged man pulling out a lighter, the young man reached out his hand very carefully. They seem to have realized that the liquid on the spattering floor is oil.
Amidst the smell of oil, I hurriedly moved my gaze toward the emergency exit.
The smoking seat I sat in was located in the most corner of the PC room.
‘X-foot, why are you here… … !’
I gulped and my arms trembled.
To get to the emergency exit, you’ll have to get close to that middle-aged man holding a lighter.
The problem is that middle-aged people are already full of gasoline.
When I’m lost in thought for a while
“shut up! My wife died, my daughter died too. Now all I have left is debt! Why do I have to be so hard on myself!”
Certainly, his situation was pitiful. But right now, my life is truly pitiful.
Seruk.
The moment I was about to get out of bed.
“Everyone dies… … .”
click.
“Hey, what a f*ck! Run away!”
The young man, who was trying to stop middle-aged, started running toward the emergency exit while bursting with swear words.
At the same time, the lighter fell to the floor.
The small spark spread into a huge flame through the petrol soaking the floor.
“Ahh-!”
Red flames filled the surroundings.
Even the boundary between the smoking room and the non-smoking room was separated by a glass window, so it was impossible to jump over the computer.
In the end, I had no choice but to fall into a panic at the screams I heard around me, and I personally suffered the most painful death in the world.
1. The incompetent child of the Spey One family (1)
A beam of light hitting the face.
I had to open my eyes moaning at the sunlight coming through the window.
“Okay… … . Is it morning already?”
I was wriggling under the blanket and slowly raised my upper body and stretched.
Eight years have passed since he died in an arson incident in the PC room in the OO building.
One miracle happened to me who should have died, a repertoire that often appears in web novels.
It was a first-hand experience of reincarnation.
“It would have been better if it had been a regression… … .”
It was really heartbreaking for me to be separated from my parents, but I was able to accumulate a lot of knowledge while living in this world set in the Middle Ages for eight years.
And when I was 5 years old, I confirmed that this world was created based on a web novel called [The Villainess Returns, Sophia].
how could you check? That’s because I was reincarnated as Kayneth H Speyone, the younger brother of the main character, Sophia H.
“Of course, to that Keynes… … .”
The proportion of dealing with Keynes in the original work was quite high.
Starting from the beginning, he is the only one who forms family love with Sophia.
Of course, when he turns 16, he is a person who faces death.
Count Spayone had three sons and three daughters.
The eldest son of the heir to the SpayWon family, Ellen H SPAYWON.
And the second son, Delt H Spayone, who has an exceptional talent for swordsmanship.
The eldest daughter, Serene H Spayone, who is engaged to the crown prince.
The second daughter, Milien, and the third daughter, Sophia.
Count Speyone had six children and two wives.
And the eldest son and second son, the eldest daughter and the second daughter, the children of the wife of the royal family, all received the blessing of mana and possessed great talents in each field. .
Then, what kind of talent does Kayneth H Spayone, the third son of such a good bloodline, have?
“Talent is a piece of cake… … .”
Even in the novel, Kayneth H Spey One was called the incompetent son of Count Spey One.
Of course, it is still called that.
He had absolutely no talent for magic or swordsmanship, and his appearance was mediocre.
“still… … I like this life.”
I sat down on the sofa in the bedroom and crossed my legs.
This is the annex of the Spey One family. It is located about 300m away from the main building.
The 10 maids who manage this annex and the head maid who oversees them. They were taking care of my life.
“Haa, securing the gold coins is my top priority right now.”
Did you say the reincarnation perk?
After being reincarnated as Kayneth, I was given a special ability.
If he hadn’t really been given anything, he would have forced his way into exile as soon as he entered the academy. And as a farmer, he must have settled somewhere on the periphery.
“Gold shop open.”
A system that converts gold into gold points. And with the gold points, I was able to purchase numerous items at the Gold Shop.
Food, clothing, weapons, potions, scrolls, and more.
Among them, there was also a potion that enhances the appearance.
“lift… … Rather, it is like having plastic surgery with drugs, right?”
It is said that the standards of beauty are different for each person, but there are always universal standards.
The potion is an item that can be used in childhood under the age of 10 to change the shape of the face at will. there was.
“I like the appearance change ticket, but for now I need to buy the skill book first.”
10 gold coins held in the right hand.
This coin, which weighs only 40 to 50 grams, is a kind of common continental currency that is commonly used by about 100 countries on the continent and an estimated 4.7 billion people.
The value of one gold coin was equivalent to about 10 million won in Korean currency, but since I was 6 years old, I had 10 gold coins. In other words, I received 100 million won in cash as pocket money.
It must be a huge sum that is difficult to even imagine in my previous life.
However, Spayone Sanghoe is a world-class company with total assets worth tens of trillions of won. It was a kind of ‘private company’ with no shares issued.
It means that the entire Chamber of Commerce exists under the control of Grans.
From then on, the Spey One family was able to wield tremendous economic power in the world beyond the Labadian Empire, and exert that much powerful influence.
What does 10 gold coins mean to the Spey One family? Let alone the upper house, it did not even reach a part of the tax collected from the villagers every month.
There was only one flaw in the SpayWon family, which seemed to be perfect without missing anything.
That is me, Kayneth H Spay One.
“…If you think about it that way, the person named Keynes is really amazing.”
Because the Spey One made a flaw in the flawless family.
The 10 gold coins I have received every month since I was 7 years old… … It was probably a kind of maintenance of dignity by handing over not to tarnish the name of Spey One.
No matter how much I am the son of a concubine and have no talent, as long as I have the name of Spey One, it must mean that I should maintain that dignity.
“Whoa… … .”
Holding onto cash that would never have been received from such an ordinary family, I exchanged it for gold points through the payment system as if I were spending money on a game.
[Gold Points: 4,100GP]
1 gold coin could be exchanged for 100 GP, and I used 1,000 GP to purchase [Basic Wizard, 2nd Circle Advanced Course].
What about the 1st circle magic? Of course, I have already learned everything from the basics to the advanced and master courses.
I, who did not receive the blessing of mana, made up for the lacking parts by increasing the amount of mana through the potion called Uria’s Holy Water.
I never thought there would be a potion that increases the amount of mana.
“Rather than that, I don’t know if this will make you a drug addict.”
I smiled and used the skill book I just bought to learn the 2nd circle magic.
In the blink of an eye, I became a 2nd Circle Wizard, but if I had enough gold points, reaching the 9th Circle wouldn’t be a dream either.
Of course, in order to do that, he would have to collect countless gold coins on the continent.
‘No, even robbing the underground safe of the Spey One family would be quite lucrative… … .’
As already explained, Count Speyone was a noble family with the most wealth in the world beyond this empire.
If it’s their property, the gold shop might explode.
But behind that property, there were beings called black magicians waiting.
‘Because the Spay One family is one of their biggest sources of money.’
Warlocks who receive funding from the Spey One family.
And are you paying for it?
Warlocks played a part in the growth of the family by attacking other rivals for the sake of the Spey One.
No, isn’t that the level of one share?
Well, anyway, let’s put aside the story about the Speyone family for a moment and think about the main character, Sophia H.
She will marry the eldest son of the Marquess of Welford in the future.
When the Marquis of Welford passed away from a sudden illness, Sophia’s husband took over the Welford family and began a life of debauchery and luxury.
Unlike him, Sophia took care of the Welford family’s internal affairs.
She excelled in her clerical skills and punished the wicked so mercilessly that she was called a cold-blooded witch when it came to legal matters.
