"Ugh...Where is this?.."
Woo-jin slowly regained Consciousness and looked around.
He was sitting on a luxurious bed that was stained red with wine.
Looking around he saw the room that should have been luxurious, a room that should belong to a noble from medieval western era.
But the entire room was a mess with windows closed, curtains drawn and entire floor covered in trash and wine bottles.
'What is going on?..Where am i? Wasnt i playing that thrash game and then that strange text appear...aahh...aa '
Woo-jin clutched his head as he felt a sharp pain in his head.
"What is this..?Memories?"
Countless memories flashed through his head.
"SHIT!!"
"It can"t be!..."
Woo-jin jumped from the bed and ran to the mirror in the corner of the room.
There he saw it.
A face that didn't belong to him.
A face that was very handsome, so handsome that even the top celebrities from his previous world would be jealous of it. But it was hidden under his long unkempt Black hair messily dangling on his forehead. His deep black eyes like that of the abyss almost completely covered by his hair.
"Lucien..von..Blackhart.."
He muttered.
"How did this happen?"
'Come on if I was going to be thrown in the game why couldn't it have been some normal extra male character.. although I wouldn't want to lose my manhood by becoming a supporting character as they were all beutiful female characters after all [Where Hearts Gather] was famous for being a pretty girls game.'
'But really this guy...'
'A villain that is supposed to die miserably in the mid part of the game.'
'The guy who prevented me from getting the perfect happy ending in every playthrough'
'But from Lucien's memories, it seems there still some time before I become a professor at the Astral Academy '
The game starts when the main character arrives to academy for the first time as a fresher in the mage depertment.
'This Lucien was really a talentless scoundrel. From his memories all I can remember him doing is drinking and spending his days as a well-known scum in the Dukes territory'
The Dukedom of Blackhart.
A Bloodline known for producing the greatest mages for generations. Each member having enormous amounts of mana and talent comparable to imperial family's talent in swordsmanship.
The strongest of the three dukedoms.
Even the Imperial family was just a notch stronger compared to the Blackharts.
But fortunately the Blackharts have always been loyal to the throne.
'The current Lucien was 26 years old. The only offspring of Duke Dorian von Blackhart One of the strongest mage in the Empire'
'One attends the academy at the age of 19 and the education lasts 4 years'
'This guy was a top graduate from the academy. Along with contribution of a major research thesis in magic that allowed him to join as a professor starting this year at the age of just 26 years'
'But the truth is he cheated!!. He obtained top scores in theory because his father the Duke had bribed his professors during his time at the academy as a student! He got top scores in practical exams because he used brute force through artifacts and scrolls!! Even the research thesis is stolen credit of someone!!!'
'Everyone knows this but there is no proof, along with the fact that his father has the highest influence in the Empire after the emperor himself.'
'His father is also the most loyal confidant of the emperor'
'So even the Archmage Merlin known as the strongest mage of this era , And the current Headmaster of the Astral Academy couldn't deny his position as a professor with the pressure from both the Imperial family and the strongest dukedom'
In the original game he entered the scene as the classroom professor of the first year mage depertment. The same class in which the protagonist arrives as a student.
The protagonist comes from a fallen baron family that has lost everything, no different from a commoner.
The protagonist is the only member of the family left alive after the protagonists father commits suicide a years ago.
Remember the thesis I stole as Lucien. It was stolen from the same protagonist's Father.
Lucien quickly recognises the protagonist and sees the protagonist as a threat.
And when the protagonist start to show talent worthy of a genius. He quickly starts sabotaging the protagonist due to jealousy and pride as he was talentless despite being from a noble bloodline of mages while the protagonist was essentially a commoner.
At the end he is expelled from the academy.
And later returns as a mid-boss villain after contracting with the Eclipse the main villains of the game.
"What should i do now?.. should I just resign and stay at home away from the dangerous storyline..."
"But what will happen to the plot without Lucien?..."
'To begin with the world is destined to end because of the Eclipse, Can the protagonist really save it without the players interference and a major character like Lucien missing from the plot?'
While I was thinking about my future that looked quite dark something suddenly appeared infront of my eyes.
A bluescreen showing my details.
"A Status window?...."
