Kaelion Asher was supposed to be a villain. At least, that’s what the Villain System told him after it unceremoniously barged into his life, projecting itself in all its holographic glory and demanding that he wreak havoc.

But there’s a problem. Every evil deed Kaelion attempts somehow backfires spectacularly, leaving him looking like a saint. Steal a spellbook? Accidentally save the owner from a cursed enchantment. Sabotage a rival’s exam? Unintentionally create a groundbreaking spell that earns him praise from the professors.

The world refuses to see Kaelion as the scheming, power-hungry villain he’s trying so hard to be. Instead, the once-disgraced heir of the Asher family becomes the golden boy of Eldoria Academy—a beacon of hope, an icon of kindness, and, to his horror, a hero.

Trapped between the System’s relentless villainous quests and his accidental sainthood, Kaelion must navigate cutthroat academy politics, rival noble families, and a cast of overly idealistic classmates. All while trying (and failing) to convince everyone he’s not a good guy.

With the System dangling forbidden magic and ultimate power as bait, Kaelion faces a dilemma: play along and risk becoming the villain he was never meant to be—or embrace his role as the Academy’s accidental saint and take everyone down his own way.

"What’s worse than being a villain? Being a hero with a villain’s agenda."

How a Villain Became the Academy’s Saint is a hilarious and chaotic ride full of failed evil plans, misunderstood good deeds, and one man’s desperate attempt to salvage his reputation as a proper bad guy.
