Hope transmigrated into the galgame Holy Grace, becoming the illegitimate son of the Duke of the West, a dim-witted young master.
At least he had food and shelter, even if everyone looked down on him, right?
Hope tried to make the best of a bad situation, but when he recalled the game's story, he realized that the villain was actually him?!
[You have been chosen by the Abyssal Demon King and will soon become its vessel for descending into the mortal world. Please train diligently, Master.]
A book spirit girl who called herself the Book of Fate said that to stay alive, he had to conquer the game's heroines!
"I'm the villain! You're telling me to conquer the heroines?"
[You haven't even met the male lead or the heroines yet.]
"...But if I remember right, a lot of them are empresses, aren't they?"
[Some of them aren't.]
"Uh, so doesn't that mean I'm... stealing the male lead's job?"
[Relax. He doesn't seem to mind.]
Hope: You think you can bully me because I don't know that?
But for his own survival, Hope still resolved to conquer the heroines!
As time passed, he unwittingly accomplished one great feat after another.
One day, looking at the heroines, he murmured, "Come to think of it, I believe I'm the villain, aren't I?"
