Extra's Pov: Reincarnated as the Marquis bastard son
Dante, an overworked game developer at Doomsday Games, has spent two years of his life debugging and perfecting MMORPGs. What started as a dream job has become a nightmare of endless hours, sleeping in the office, and being treated like a corporate puppet. While testing the company's latest game, "Empire Online" - based on a popular web novel - exhaustion finally overtakes him and he collapses at his desk.
When Dante wakes up, he's no longer in his cramped office. Instead, he finds himself in a luxurious bedroom, trapped inside the body of thirteen-year-old Lux d'Branmere - the game's most hated villain character.
Lux is the bastard son of a Marquis, branded as a "failed genius" and cursed with multiple debilitating traits. In the original game, he was designed to be nothing more than a stepping stone for the protagonist - a character everyone was meant to despise and defeat.
But now Dante is living as Lux, with all of his curses, his terrible reputation, and his doomed fate. Armed with his knowledge of the game's storyline and mechanics, Dante must navigate this dangerous new reality. He knows exactly what's supposed to happen to Lux d'Branmere - and it's not good.
The question is: can someone rewrite their own story when they're trapped playing the villain? Or is Dante doomed to follow the same path that leads to Lux's downfall?
