The Reincarnated Regressor has to save the World
A mysterious novel, "The Villain is the Anti-Hero," was supposed to be a thrilling escape, not a death sentence. But after a bizarre accident, Alan finds himself trapped within its pages, living fifty grueling years as a side character. He fought, he loved, he lost—his wife to cancer, his family to ruin, and the world to demons. His dying breath was a wish for a second chance.
And he got it.
Waking up as his 10-year-old self, Alan de Rivian—the novel's notoriously snotty villain—he's armed with the bitter wisdom of a sixty-year-old and the rudimentary skills of a battle-hardened veteran. Now, confined to his room and betrothed to a stranger, Alan must shed his villainous past, navigate a treacherous noble society, and rewrite a destiny that once led to utter despair. Can he save everyone he failed before, or will this 'anti-hero' be consumed by the very story he sought to change?
