Chapter 1: Game World 1
The Holy Sword Hero and the Seven War Maidens.
A game where a hero chosen by the holy sword to defeat the demon king fights alongside seven girls who have been given the power to fight alongside the hero.
Although it is a gal game, the story is well crafted, with even the villainous characters having their own unique personalities.
"Even so, why did I end up reincarnated as the most unpopular and lowest character in the villain role..."
I'm Jin Dojima. When I lost consciousness in a traffic accident, I found myself reincarnated as a character from a game I had played extensively in my previous life.
When I realized I was in the world of "The Holy Sword Hero and the Seven Battle Maidens," I was so excited that I jumped out of bed. But then, when I saw my own appearance, I was shocked to the point of fainting.
My character's name was Jin von Rajinia.
The character with the same name as my past life is known as the most unpopular and despicable villain in this game.
Born as the eldest son of the Marquess of Rajinia, this character was filled with various problems.
"Hold on, how old am I now? That's pretty important."
In a hurry, I whispered "Status" to myself, thinking that if this world is a game.
Then, a transparent board appeared in front of me, detailing my information.

"At 12 years old! That means he was already powerful before falling into evil!
"Incredible, though. Among game characters, he's one of the most cheat characters with these stats at this point."
Among game characters, there are several characters with special skills. Among them, the character named Jin is the strongest cheat character. He was born with almost all the skills he currently possesses and had multiple divine blessings.
So why did such a character fall into being a villain?
It was because of the environment he was in.
Jin's birth was that of a child born to a maid whom the current head of the Rajinia family had taken advantage of while under the influence of alcohol. As a result, Jin was despised from birth. If Jin had been a girl, there might have been some use for them, but as a boy, Jin was also hated by the father who had brought about his own mistake.
As Jin grew up, his mental state became increasingly unstable.
Jin completely descended into villainy in the early stages of a game at the age of fifteen.
Flora, one of his fiancées and one of seven female warriors, broke off their engagement, and it was the trigger for Jin's defeat at the hands of the protagonist.
At that time, even though I thought it was strange for a hero to get involved in a problem that was just between the two of them, I knew it couldn't be helped since it was part of the story. So, I controlled the hero who was the protagonist.
He was defeated by the hero, and as a result, he lost Flora and was abandoned by his family.
As a result, Jin headed down the path of evil.
Afterwards, the hero grew alongside the battle maidens, and Jin, who had become a villain, appeared before them many times.
With his former strength, Jin overwhelmed the heroes and caused more chaos in the world than the Demon King.
He committed heinous acts without mercy, even towards women and children.
Sometimes, he would delight in committing cruel acts even towards innocent parties.
As a result, Jin became known as the "worst character ever" in this game, and it was written on strategy websites, among other places.
"But I was able to reincarnate before falling into that villain role. This can change the story from here on out..." I thought, and decided to put my spirit into action.
First, I thought it was important to confirm my abilities, so I changed out of my room clothes and went outside.
As I don't have any servants, I mostly live alone in a detached house.
My mother passed away several years ago, and it seems like it was a big wound for this person too...
Amid being ostracized by his family, only one person treated Jin kindly.
However, several years ago, Jin's mother passed away due to an epidemic, leaving Jin without any allies.
This story continues, and the truth is that Jin's mother was actually killed by poison, not an epidemic.
After learning this later on, Jin made sure to bring down the Rajinia family, without question.
"Well then, let's try experimenting with a few things. First, let's confirm the movements of the body."
Jin has many magic skills, and because he is one of the strongest cheat characters in the story, it was written on analysis sites that he could become one of the strongest classes with just training in either of them.
In fact, even though he usually only used magic, he was able to fight on par with the hero using a sword in a scene where they competed.
The difference between the hero and Jin is two points: whether they are chosen by the holy sword or not, and whether they have companions or not.
The company that developed the game later revealed that if these two points were not present, Jin would have had strength greater than the hero's.
Afterwards, having moved my body and learned various things, I decided to return to the separate house, take a bath, and think about the future while eating.
Honestly, I know that if I stayed in this place, there would be various unpleasant things happening to me as well.
"I remember that the treatment towards Jin had gotten worse as he exceeded the age of 12... I have to make plans to leave this place as soon as possible."
As I was thinking this, the doorbell of the house rang and I headed towards the entrance.
When I opened the door, I saw the head butler of the main mansion standing there.
"Jin-sama, the master is calling for you."
"...I understand."
That's right!
If I remember correctly, the day after his twelfth birthday, Jin was summoned by the head of the household.
At that time, he was given two choices: to leave the house or to become a moving target for the second son's stress relief.
Jin, who still didn't think he could survive outside, reluctantly decided to become the second son's target and lived as such for the next three years.
But I'm worried if that's really what they said... It might be true in a game world, but this is a real world...
"Jin, I'll let you choose. Which do you prefer, leaving the house or becoming Alphonse's playmate?"
It turned out my worries were unfounded, as I was told that by the head of the household in the presence of his legal wife, eldest daughter, and second son.
Great!
Filled with joy inside, I said to the head of the family with a determined expression, "I am leaving the house."
Afterwards, I was threatened that I would really be kicked out of the house, but I said that I understood.
As I already had a fiancée, I wasn't immediately kicked out on the spot. Instead, I sent a letter to my fiancée's house explaining the situation and sending a servant.
A few days later, I received a letter from my fiancée's house, which stated their approval.
And so, I completely cut ties with the Rajinia family and became alone.
"Alright! I'm free now!"
"..."
"..."
On the day formally announced by the Rajnia family, I shouted in front of the house. I received an indescribable gaze from the butler and gatekeeper who were monitoring whether I would leave or not.
Without thinking anything about it, I left without looking back at the house that I would never return to.
