Then Maker
Now, hear me out and hear me well: my name is Barogey. I was born into a humble merchant family, and yes, I’m the guy you read about at the start—the one dying. No, I wasn’t reincarnated, and honestly, if I had been, I’d rather not have been.
I’m a larger man... okay, let’s not sugarcoat it—I’m kinda chubby. Blame my parents for spoiling me rotten as a kid. I had a younger brother, Louis, who I used to bully, but, uh... I killed him. Long story.
Before all that drama, I was a Doctor of Magical Engineering. Then came the prison stint—because, you know, the usual evil villain schtick: kidnapping a princess, taunting her friends, and trying to force a wedding. Before that little escapade, I lived in the human kingdom of Magder.
Anyway, now I’m fresh out of prison, shipped off to Tabnoth. Apparently, Vistor thinks throwing all the world’s rejects into one place is a genius plan. But hey, I’m not complaining. As long as this place has a good deli, I’m set.
