The Regressor Is The Villain

A month later.

"Hehehahahaha!!!"

I laughed terrifyingly like a main villain who managed to take over the world.

Even so, no one heard my laughter because I was in the Wolfled family's training room. In fact, if anyone heard, it would be even better because it would add to my villain points.

Right now, I'm very happy with my status.

That's right, I finally managed to master raising my physical stats close to my previous stats.

Thanks to this hard training with a weak body I succeeded even though I fainted a few times thanks to too hard training, in the end I was very satisfied and happy-

".... Wait, why am I even happy? My target is even farther away than this."

I instantly realized that the current target and stats were too far away.

Considering my stats in the first episode weren't enough to fight The Black, there was no way I could fight The Evil One. And what was even more ironic was that my stats in my first life were a series of miracles to become that strong.

After all, I didn't have any talent in combat to begin with. If circumstances and miracles hadn't happened, I probably couldn't have been that strong, in fact I would have died a long time ago.

Despite being the last human alive, the truth is that I'm not an extraordinary person. I don't have the talent of the geniuses of this century, I don't even have the power of cheating like the people of the other world nor am I very smart.

But somehow I always managed to escape death and continued to get stronger very slowly, if the geniuses were in my position then they would have been able to fight The Evil One back then.

(Tsk, in the end I had to do it anyway. I am a regressor after all.)

Even though I know, it's still hard to think of a way to become stronger than the first episode. Even so that doesn't mean there is no way.

(It looks like I'll have to use an instant and dangerous way to increase my strength as soon as possible.)

With future knowledge, I know some methods that make you strong quickly but such methods definitely have their own consequences.

There are many ways to become strong instantly but for now it looks like I'll die instantly if I use one of them.

(I need to raise my physical stats to C at least to be able to use 'That' method.)

*Knock*

There was a knock from outside, like a servant because if it's a family member there's no need to knock.

I immediately prepared with my 'Villain' expression.

"Come in."

(Hmm, good... my voice sounds really cold!)

After getting my permission, a maid appeared with a terrified expression.

During this 1 month, I not only improved my physique but also increased my bad reputation throughout the mansion until I became known as an arrogant cold noble.

Despite being feared and hated, for some reason I didn't mind and even felt more comfortable in my current state.

"Don't just stay silent, speak up."

I urged the maid to speak.

"L-Lord Aamon called the young master to his room."

(Father? Is there something important?)

During 1 month, I also got a lot of territory management tasks with father, thanks to my ability as a future territory lord. I completed the tasks father gave me and received praise.

Even now father trusts me to take care of his work as well. But if you call me maid, it means that it's not a normal job but a formal meeting as an heir.

"...I see, go quickly."

"Y-yess!"

The maid ran away in fear as soon as she finished delivering her message.

(Why do I feel like the maids and butlers are more afraid of me now than before?)

...

"I've decided on your next engagement."

"...what?"

I was currently having a serious conversation with Father. At first I thought that it was a meeting about father's independent plan until suddenly father said something far beyond my imagination.

"Why do you look surprised?"

"No no, isn't it strange not to be surprised? Why the sudden engagement? Didn't I get a bad reputation among the nobles today because of what happened with the Blouses family?"

"You really know about your own situation huh... Yes, it's true that your reputation among the nobles has fallen but this engagement is a bit special."

Father answered my confusion with a tone that was more relaxed than usual and even sounded overjoyed.

"Special?"

Seeing that I was confused, this time it was mom who answered my question.

"Yes, Zend. You're getting engaged to a noble family of a neighboring country."

"Huh?"

Hearing mom's words took me by surprise. After all, the neighboring country meant the Yangnam Kingdom or the Barbatos Empire.

The Barbatos Empire was the Wolfled family's main enemy so there was no way father would have a political marriage with them so that left only the Yangnam Kingdom.

The Yangnam Kingdom is a small kingdom that is quite unique in that it has wide access to trade thanks to its strategic layout with seas and oceans. It is often a trading partner of the Wolfled family and even the Wolfled family helped the Yangnam Kingdom take care of the sea steel that attacked one of their territories.

It's true that the relationship between our family and the Yangnam Kingdom is good but I don't think there will be a political marriage between different countries especially in our unfavorable situation with the capital.

"Does that mean Yangnam Kingdom?"

"My son is smart."

"Wait a minute. Does the royal family allow it? Won't this ruin father's independent plan?"

"Calm down first."

I must have panicked a lot in father's eyes but it's okay because this really affects my plan.

"Zend, do you remember the Murasaki family from the Xian region."

(Murasaki? What kind of family is that.)

I tried to remember the family name that father said but for some reason I felt like a fog was blocking me from remembering.

"You seem to have forgotten. The Murasaki family is a noble family that we do business with. We often send knights and magicians to help them fight pirates."

(Huh? Wait, I'm supposed to know about this but why didn't the Murasaki family name come to my mind.)

"This year there seems to be a civil war in the Yangnam Kingdom and the Murasaki family lost their authority as rulers of the Xian region and were forced to become fallen nobles."

(Stop... What the hell is with this important information. How could I forget such important information.)

"That's why we're offering to help them by performing a political marriage."

Father began to explain what the agreement with the Murasaki family was but the more I listened the more unfamiliar it felt and the more the strong headache that assaulted me grew.

(Stop... stop... stop...)

The more I tried to resist the more a memory that was very foreign to me appeared.

A vision of a black-haired man with red eyes holding a red-colored sword in his right hand and a blue sword in his left hand along with 2 bloodied bodies on the floor.

The traces of blood on the sword that the man was holding indicated that the man did it.

Although it was a frightening scene, tears could be seen in the man's eyes as if he was crying very hard.

(Who...that...)

As if that wasn't enough, the scene changed to a scene of a woman with purple hair saying something to someone before her head was cut off by a guillotine.

Then a necklace fell from the woman's neck revealing a photograph of a red-eyed man with the woman in a wedding dress.

A strong shock hit me and a strong nausea suddenly appeared but suddenly it was as if something had disappeared. The memory of just now along with the emotions I felt before also disappeared like an illusion leaving only one very strong emotion.

"The name of the woman who will be your fiancée is..."

"Yoon Murasaki..."
