With a weary body, Clive entered his luxurious mansion.
It was a big house for a man living alone. Even Clive himself thought so, since cleaning it always left him exhausted.
But this house was proof of his success –
success he had earned despite being born into poverty.
Once inside, Clive lazily threw himself onto the couch.
The entire house was silent and still, without a single sound.
He actually wished to be greeted by a beautiful woman's voice, accompanied by a warm smile.
But he had no wife or girlfriend, nor was he looking for one.
He had tried before, but all he ever found were sluts.
All his life, he felt like he had been born into the wrong world.
Humans in this world were like beasts in the wild – having sex without love or affection, driven purely by instinct.
Even the "innocent" girls here were just sugar babies with Linktrees in their bios. They didn't care about love – only about money or fancy apartments.
Disgusting. Just thinking about them made Clive want to puke.
He longed for something pure, sincere, and based on true love.
Unfortunately, such things only existed in web novels.
Gamer Transmigration – that was his favorite one.
He had stumbled upon it by chance, but fell in love after reading just the first chapter.
For the first time ever, he even spent money to unlock the next chapters and sent the author gifts.
Even after donating tens of thousands of dollars, he still wasn't the top fan – some people had donated millions. That just showed how successful the book was.
The reason he loved it was because of its setting – a world with strict culture and social norms, where even holding hands or kissing was considered taboo, let alone sex.
That was why the women in that world still valued their chastity.
Virginity was reserved for the wedding night.
Pure love, untouched by money, still existed there.
That's what made Clive love it so much.
But that was then.
Now, he hated it.
He hated it so much.
The main character was a genius gamer from the same kind of world as Clive. He was transmigrated into that world as a talentless young master named Leon van Hadeson.
In other words, Leon brought the rotten culture of his old world with him. He slept with every heroine before marriage.
That wasn't even what Clive hated the most – he could forgive it if Leon took responsibility afterward.
But he didn't.
In the ending, that bastard only married one heroine.
That was what infuriated Clive.
Dude, if you didn't marry the others, then who would? According to that world's culture, they were now considered ruined women because of you. Do you have zero empathy?!
Clive had never had a single woman love him, while Leon had plenty of women who loved him – and yet he chose only one.
To Clive, Leon was an ungrateful fool.
His actions were like a slap to Clive's face.
That's why Clive came to despise Gamer Transmigration.
And his hatred wasn't only about that.
As a fan, he had worked hard to make the novel popular – recommending it, building fandom communities, even showering the author with gifts.
And what did he get in return?
A garbage ending.
Was he disappointed?
No – he was beyond disappointed.
He created multiple email accounts just to leave bad reviews.
But instead of sinking, that piece of trash got a manhwa adaptation.
And not just that – it even got an anime adaptation.
Worse, it was being animated by Ufochair.
Why would the best animation studio in the world adapt such trash?! That fucking author must've blackmailed them!
Today was the release day of the first episode.
Clive wanted to watch it –
not to enjoy it,
but to find flaws and write scathing reviews.
"Hahahaha!!! I can't wait!!!" he laughed like a final boss.
He immediately logged into Crunchyroll.
Perfect timing – it was already airing.
The opening showed a beautiful blonde girl with a gentle smile.
"Ahhh~ Aria~ My wife~"
Though she looked soft and loving, she was actually a true yandere – the perfect woman in his eyes. Clive adored her.
Ironically, that bastard Leon never understood the beauty of a yandere and killed her, thinking she was insane.
"If we were in the same world, I'd definitely kill Leon."
Suddenly, he felt the urge to pee.
"Tch! Why now?!"
He ran straight to the bathroom.
But as he arrived – he slipped.
"…The fuck!"
His head slammed hard against the floor.
He could even hear the crack of bone.
Then everything went black.
When he opened his eyes again, he was in a hospital.
"Someone must've saved me?"
His eyes widened as soon as he spoke.
The voice that came out wasn't his.
His real voice was rough, but now it was deep and a bit sexy.
"What the hell happened?"
He tried to get up.
But his body felt weak.
Like he had no muscles left.
He looked down at himself and froze.
"Seriously?! What the hell is going on?!"
His body had become thin, almost skeletal, just skin wrapped around bones.
Panic struck him. He didn't want to hear that he'd been in a coma for years. If that were true, his stocks, his company, his money – all his life's work – would be gone.
There was a mirror in the room.
With great effort, he stumbled toward it.
His jaw dropped when he saw his reflection.
"Nah!!! Who the hell is this?!!"
His brown hair had turned into long black hair. His body was taller, though he had long passed puberty. And his face – sharper, more handsome, like he had just leveled up in real life.
But as an isekai lover, he immediately understood.
"So... I was transmigrated."
