âGasp!â I woke up just as I heard a loud mechanical sound.
Fuck, that surprised me.
I turned my head reflexively. Then, a hard-shaped machine, which had just let out a loud noise, emitted a low beeping sound.
Beep, Beep, BeepâŠ
Is this a newly placed alarm?
I donât remember buying anything like that.
I glanced at the huge machine, while pressing my throbbing head. The hard, square machine had a long string, and the string attachedâŠ
âCrazy, what is this?â
The string on the machine was attached to my body. I opened my eyes wide at the string hanging on my chest.
âWhatâs this? Ugh.â
""
I felt a splitting headache as Iâm taking the string off. I lowered my head. Beepâ, the sound kept ringing in my ears.
âUgh, fuck.â
After waiting for my headache to subside, I finally raised my head. My forehead, wet with sweat, bothered me. I looked around for something to wipe and my body suddenly stiffened.
ââŠWhere is this?â
I was amazed by the view of the room that I had never seen before. The room was quite spacious and clean. Very different from my small room, which looks like a pigsty. Wallpaper and furniture were monotonous, neat and tidy. I looked nervously around the empty room.
âIs this place someoneâs room?â
I went to many unfamiliar places for work, but I couldnât believe this was someoneâs room once I opened my eyes. I suddenly got goosebumps.
Moreover, there was a strange machine connected to my chest, and most importantly, I was topless. I couldnât help but grit my teeth at the person who made me look like this.
I wandered around the room looking for clothes to wear. Then I stopped moving when I saw a full-length mirror near me.
âWhaâ?!â A pale-looking man in the mirror looked at me and was appalled.
His small, pale white face was extremely good-looking. I might have thought he was an idol if I saw him passing by. His wide open eyes were like deerâs eyes, and his small, beautiful lips were not pale as his face, but caught my eye.
He had a skinny body, but he had some fine muscles and was quite handsome. I kept looking at the man in the mirror with this ghostly face.
After some time I noticed that this man in the mirror was me. I was dumbfounded and confused, but when I pinched my cheeks, it wasnât a dream.
âAbs⊠My absâŠâ I muttered in vain while stroking my flat stomach.
Initially, my body was not muscular. I worked out hard because there were so many people with good body shape around me, but Iâm not gaining as much muscle as I wanted. However, after working hard, I had shredded abs, though not by much. Uhuhuk, my abs, thereâs nothing there.
âDamn it, who the fuck is this bastardâŠâ I muttered in annoyance and looked around.
I approached the desk wearing a rough t-shirt. As if to show the personality of the owner of the body, a notebook, pen, wallet, and cell phone were placed on a neatly arranged desk.
I grabbed the wallet first. To find out who the owner of this body was, I had to start with identification. I opened a black leather wallet and saw several crisp bills and credit cards.
As I continued to search, I saw several ID cards. I thought it was an ID card and driverâs license, but one of them had a strange colour.
âHunter⊠license?â
Was this bastard an otaku1? On the green ID card, the word âhunterâs licenseâ was written.
Hunter? I couldnât believe heâs a hunter.
Donât tell me itâs the hunter, I think it is.
I smirked at the thought, but behind it was information I couldnât ignore.
Hunter License
Name: Han Yijin
Registration number: 21B-32269
Rank: B
Affiliation: Loki Guild
ââŠâ
For a moment, the contents of the novel flashed through my head. A male-oriented novel that keeps me on my phone until bedtime. My hands trembled as I shuddered, staring at the hunterâs license in disbelief.
âHan⊠Yi Jin? The dual-class loser villain bastard, Han Yi Jin?â
[The Worldâs Only SS Class Returnee]
As the title suggests, it was a novel where the protagonist was sucked into a gate and barely returned, becoming the only SS-class hunter in the world and unrivaled.
I was bored so I read the free ones, until I binge read all night paying for them. The authorâs writing skills were unbelievably good. While smiling happily remembering the episode I read last night, I looked at the license again with a serious look.
Itâs possible that this license was fake⊠Someone more crazy about novels than I am could think of these cards as mere merchandise. But right away I thought it didnât make sense. If thatâs the case, I would had a card2 as the main character, Kang Yoo Hyun, or I wonât have an insignificant villain bastard card.
âSighâŠ.â
I sighed and washed my face dry.
Was the owner of this body really Han Yi Jin? So, this place is a fictional world? What nonsenseâŠ
Han Yi Jin was a villain in the early stages of dual-class. When the main character Kang Yoo Hyun returned from the gate and was in the spotlight, he played the role of a loser who made him into a pathetic villain.
I was in a state of disbelief to think it was me now. When I read the novel, I was immersed in the main character, so when Han Yi Jin made a mistake, I was just angry and annoyed. But when Kang Yoo Hyun beat him and he died in an accident, it was sad.
But was that me now? Iâm the insignificant villain?
âWhy, of all thingsâŠ!â
I threw the hunterâs license on the desk. At least if I couldnât be the main character, I could be a supporting character who helped the main character or an ordinary extra, but Han Yi Jin? A villain bastard with B-rank ability who was beaten to death by the main character?
It was clear that God had forsaken me. My life before I possessed was not smooth, but how could He put me through yet another ordeal like this?
âArgg! Ackk! Ackkk!â
âŠLetâs run away.
I made up my mind and packed my stuff quickly. Actually, I wasnât sure where Han Yi-jinâs belongings were, so I just took his wallet and cell phone.
I didnât know how far this book has progressed, but seeing Han Yi Jin alive and well like this, it must be the beginning of the story. That would give him enough time to escape.
I should never have met the protagonist. Even if Iâve changed inside and I havenât done anything bad, the main character wonât stay still when he meets me, who is a villain.
The Loki Guild that Han Yi Jin resided in was a guild affiliated with the Villain Union. Here, Han Yi Jinâs room must be one of the branches of the Loki Guild. So being here alone is dangerous for me. After organising my thoughts quickly, I approached and opened the door.
ââŠ!â
âWhere are you going?â
Fuck!
The curse almost came out of my mouth.
When I opened the door, the man leaning against the opposite wall slowly approached.
He was a man with flashy pink hair. The clothes he wore were also unusual, and there were so many fluorescent colours that it dazzled me. I glanced through the piercings dangling from his ears as he asked.
âWho?â
ââŠWhat?â
The man opened his eyes wide as if surprised by my question. Then he looked at me with a smirk and opened his mouth.
âDid you eat something wrong? Whatâs wrong with you?â
ââŠâ
He seemed to know me very well, or rather Han Yi Jin. I frowned at his intense pink hair as if piercing my eyes. That wasnât a common hair colour. Even though this was a fantasy world, the hair colour was similar to my original world because of the modern setting.
Pink-haired man, plus in the Loki GuildâŠ
ââŠEden?â
His unique name makes it easier to remember. Like Han Yi Jin, he was a member of the Loki Guild, but halfway through the story, he betrayed the guild leader and went to the main character.
Eden, A-rank, a talented person from Loki Guild.
âI almost felt sad. Yi Jin-ah.â
He gently closed his eyes and smiled like a fox, and put his hand on my shoulder. Was Han Yi Jin close to this guy? It doesnât look like that in the novel.
Of course, Han Yijin disappeared quickly as an attention whore in the beginning, so the relationship wasnât very well described. Eden then appeared and took over the role of the villain, but he was treated very differently.
Unlike the dim-witted Han Yi Jin, he was cunning and was capable of escaping any difficult situation. Although it was a bit of a bad omen when he smirked and smiled at the protagonist, he was a character who showed a good heart through a series of events and drew the readersâ good impressions of him.
They both started out as villains, though. The readers are too much.
I frowned and glared at Eden.
âGet your hands off me.â
âAing~3, youâre mean.â
The way he speaks kinda?
I brushed his hand and asked harshly. âWhy are you here?â
âMe?â
Then Eden smiled doubtfully, as if to say, âAsk me anything.â
There seemed to be something between the two that I didnât know about. I shouldnât have asked him thoughtlessly.
I gulped and was nervous, and he tilted his head and looked at me.
I wasnât just possessed by an ordinary character. A villain was a villain, even if it was an insignificant villain. Lokiâs Guild was also filled with villains who threatened the main character.
The same was true for Eden before his eyes. He wasnât S-class, but he was A-class, and an advanced one at that, so he was equivalent with an regular S-class.
Showing weakness in front of such a guy? Itâs the same as suicide.
I answered feistily, deliberately pretending to be firm.
âWhatâs strange? Fuck off if you donât have business.â
T/N: Yo yo, welcome my new project guys  Iâll try tl-ing 10 chapters first to see if this good, alright? And my translation is not  correctly and this time Iâm working alone so you can correct me in my discord server that will be coming soon. Thank you. I hope you all like it!
