The most powerful villainous aristocrat in history, who is defeated and meets his ruin at the hands of a protagonist who awakens cheat powers. Apparently, I’ve been reincarnated as that very character, Xenos Ohrvein. The course of action I should take is— Not to crush the flags of ruin through sheer strength. Nor to reflect on my past life and become a good person. Guide the protagonist to his awakening, foist all the troublesome matters onto him, and ultimately, live a peaceful life as a background character myself. Completely ignore the ruin flags. And if fate ever bares its fangs at me, I’ll crush it with absolute power. Having made that decision, I set out to perform the villainous moves necessary to awaken the protagonist. And the result of pushing my villainy to the absolute limit? This. “I adore you, Lord Xenos!” “I-If it’s for Lord Xenos’s sake, I would do anything…!” For some reason, the s*ave maids, who don’t even appear in the original story, have grown attached to me. “Even your inability to be honest is something I find endearing.” “I-In the future… I shall have you as my son-in-law!” The original heroines are also, for some reason, gravitating toward me. As if that incomprehensible situation weren’t enough, I eventually came to be hailed as the “Shadow Saint.” …I was just performing villainous moves. So how did it turn out like this?
