SWNOVELXO chapter 1_ Reincarnated as a villainous aristocrat
“Hah!”
I suddenly regained consciousness.
And then—
“What!? What in the world is this!?”
I exclaimed in astonishment as I looked at the boy reflected in front of me in the mirror.
The boy in the mirror was incredibly handsome to a degree that I couldn’t believe, with a face that didn’t seem like mine at all. His hair was white, and one of his eyes was white… perhaps silver? His eyes had a faint, transparent hue, with the other eye being a deep blue. He appeared to be about 100 centimeters tall, give or take.
“…Who is this!? I don’t remember having such a face!”
I touched my face and body all over, just as the boy in the mirror did. It seemed that the mirror in front of me wasn’t reflecting a fabrication.
“So, is this me…? A handsome guy like this…?”
Still in disbelief, I repeatedly patted my face, and just as I thought I heard footsteps approaching, a beautiful woman in a maid outfit rushed into the room… or wherever I was.
“What’s the matter, Lord Jin!?”
Lord Jin…?
I had heard that name somewhere before… wait—
“Ah, ahhhh!”
“What’s the matter, Lord Jin!?”
The familiar maid in her uniform rushed toward me, but I was completely oblivious to such things.
Or rather, the situation didn’t allow me to pay attention to such things.
Seriously… this guy is a complete villain, isn’t he?
He might even be a top-tier final boss-level villain!
With such incredible potential, he’s messed up so much that he’s practically a villain with too many flags leading to his own destruction!
“Why is it someone like this!?”
My outburst left the maid unusually flustered.
“Lord Jin, have you calmed down? Here, I made your favorite milk tea.”
“Oh, uh, thank you.”
With trembling hands, I brought the most valuable tea in the world, prepared by the maid, Mea, to my lips.
Clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter!
“Are you alright, Lord Jin?”
“I-I’m, of course, fine… right?”
Due to my nervousness, I spilled some tea, and while Mea maintained her expression, she anxiously wiped the tea off my clothes. Naturally, this brought us closer together.
So close, so close, so close!
My heart is about to explode from nervousness just having my crush this close!
Mea is the personal maid of the villainous noble, Jin. She was my one and only favorite during my gaming days. With silver hair like mine (which I hate) and my mother’s, clear blue eyes, and a strikingly beautiful face, she had an elven appearance with long ears.
Perhaps due to her elven heritage, she wasn’t particularly busty, but her slender, long legs were quite beautiful.
Not only in appearance but also in demeanor, she was always calm and cool.
Furthermore, she possessed an earnest personality, always loyal once her allegiance was given, willing to serve no matter the circumstances. Due to this personality, Mea always sided with the villain, Jin, and like him, she became an adversary to the protagonist, turning into a character who ultimately met her tragic demise.
However, Jin was fond of Mea, partly due to this personality, and seemingly, he was the only one who liked her in the world, as indicated in the later-released setting materials.
In the game, Mea met her end, but in this new world where I had become Jin, I would absolutely not let her meet the same fate.
Or rather, her life was worth more than a thousand of my own.
Well, first things first, I need to figure out this situation!
My heart might really burst if this continues!
“I-It’s… it’s okay, Mea! Just give me some space!”
“However, it’s my duty to attend to you, Lord Jin. Please remove your hand from me.”
“I can handle it myself! I mean, I can do it, so please stop… cough… I mean, I’ll do it myself.”
“…Understood.”
She finally relented and moved away from me.
Phew… that was close… I almost had a heart attack…
I desperately tried to calm my pounding heart. As I regained my composure, I began to realize what needed to be done in the current situation.
First, I need to find out the current time and the relationships between people.
I decided to ask Mea, who was searching for replacement clothes. I wasn’t sure if I could manage it in my nervous state, but I had to try.
