Lucien Vale was never meant to be important.
In his previous life, he was a terminally ill otaku—weak, bedridden, and living only through the fantasy novels he loved. His death was cruelly ironic: not from cancer, but from a truck accident on his way home from the hospital.
When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself reincarnated inside his favorite novel.
But not as the hero. Not as the demon lord. Not even as a major antagonist.
He awakens as Lucien Vale, a third-rate villain—a disposable noble whose only role was to provoke the protagonist… and die in rage as a stepping stone.
This time, Lucien refuses that fate.
Granted a mysterious Bonding System, he gains the ability to form deep bonds with others—replicating their talents, attributes, and potential once trust is earned. Through bonds, effort, and calculated future knowledge, Lucien begins to rewrite the story itself.
At the prestigious Imperial Academy, Lucien trains among nobles, commoners, and other races—elves, dragons, vampires, and dwarves—while hiding terrifying truths:
Hidden attributes like Void, Space, and Divine
A cursed, evolving sword that speaks to him alone
A dangerous path beyond SSS Rank
As monsters rise, students vanish, and demons move in the shadows, Lucien discovers that power alone is not enough. Even SSS Rank is merely a ceiling imposed by the world.
Chosen by the Goddess of Sight, Lucien is shown a forbidden route—the Path of Transcend, a brutal thirteen-step journey meant to surpass mortal limits, extend lifespan, and challenge even gods.
But power has a price.
The Void threatens his sanity. Bloodlines clash within his body. Gods argue over his existence. And the story he once knew begins to fracture beyond recognition.
Now standing between heroes, villains, demons, and gods, Lucien must decide:
Will he become humanity’s strongest protector…
Or the calamity that devours everything?
This is the story of a forgotten villain who refuses to be a footnote, and instead walks a path even the gods fear to follow.


if you are weak hearted person, then 
don't read after second boss death .

My novel is only comedy in starting.

Chapter — The Academy Is Not Ready for Him


Lucien learned something very important that day.


Because he stayed up late optimizing mana circulation while mentally comparing it to stamina regen from his favorite RPG.


"Five percent efficiency loss if I panic," he muttered while sprinting across the courtyard.


Elarion Noctyra stood there, hands behind his back, elf ears twitching in amusement.


Beside him, Seraphine Noctyra leaned against a pillar, sipping something suspiciously red from a crystal vial.


"You know," he said, "humans usually panic when vampires stare at them."


"Terrifying creatures," Lucien explained.


Q12: Explain the safest method to circulate mana under emotional stress.


Kael's Silent Struggle (Comedic… Mostly)


Minutes later, floating scores appeared.
