MTLNOVEL Chapter 1: Chapter 0And Just Like That, I Was Doomed
I used to be the most despicable person in the empire.
"If it weren't for you... the empire wouldn't have crumbled so miserably." As the prime minister of the empire, she was a genius who held up the tottering empire until the very last moment. She was also my fiancée. These were the last words she said to me on the eve of the decisive battle against the Demon King's army. She defended the imperial city until she died in battle.
"...Go to hell, you bastard." These were the final words left to me by the great mage who had swept across the battlefield and hunted down the generals of the Demon King's army. She dealt a fatal blow to the Demon King but was backlashed, her limbs shattered, and finally passed away.
"Thank you for making me realize now that the gods have long abandoned us." These were the last words of the once - in - a - millennium saintess. She had been running around to save as many imperial subjects as possible and was eventually brutally killed by the Demon King's army.
"...Disgusting." These were the last words left to me by the cursed dark sorceress who had served me since childhood. She berated my ugliness and committed suicide right in front of me.
"...You're the ugliest person I've ever known." These were the last words the imperial princess, hailed as the hope of the empire, left me on the day of the decisive battle. She resisted the Demon King until the very end, was finally captured, and became the sacrifice for the ultimate magic that summoned hell on the continent.
"The demons in hell are less hideous than you, you stupid human." When I packed up the ancestral hero's equipment and surrendered to the Demon King, she burst into laughter and said this to me.
"...I know that too." But her laughter quickly turned into shocked murmurs because the hero's equipment in my arms suddenly went out of control.
"...What on earth are you up to?" I smiled faintly at the bewildered Demon King and replied briefly, "...To obtain the system."
After saying these words, accompanied by a brisk sound, I watched the system window pop up in front of me and disappeared in a flash of light together with the Demon King.
[System Liberation: The Path of the Pseudo - Evil]
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying on the bed of the inn where I had stayed the day before entering the academy.
"Ha, I'm really back..." I looked at the calendar on the table and once again truly realized that I had been reborn, muttering softly to myself.
"...System."
[The Path of the Pseudo - Evil: This is your inescapable destiny. As the one who once destroyed the world, you are once again entrusted with the mission of saving it. Save this world in the name of pseudo - evil.]
[Accumulated Pseudo - Evil Points: 0]
With a satisfied look, I stared at the system window in front of me, which I had finally obtained through actions against my nature and which could save everyone. However, just as I was about to get up from the bed to fill my stomach...
[Warning: Punishment Triggered!]
"Hmm?" The moment I saw another window suddenly pop up in front of me, my body froze in place, still in the posture of about to stand up.
[Punishment: The five heroines have awakened their past - life memories!]
"...What the hell is this?"
Just like that, I was doomed.
