Prologue: The Summoning of Evil
I was supposed to go home.
Seriously, that’s all I wanted. One late shift, finish the reports, maybe reward myself with some takeout and a web novel binge. But no. Some glowing magic circle had other plans.
Now, I was standing in a dark, ancient temple, facing three people who looked way too excited about my arrival. Two women and one guy, all dressed like they walked straight out of a high-fantasy war council.
And the first thing I heard?
“Please be evil!”
…Huh?
The one who spoke was a silver-haired woman in shining armor, hands clasped together like she was praying to some twisted god.
The tall, blue-robed woman next to her—probably a mage, judging by the literal sparks crackling around her—let out a casual chuckle. “Hana, give the guy a second to process. We did just rip him out of his world.”

The third person, a brooding swordsman with an annoyingly handsome face, crossed his arms and exhaled. “This is the ‘great villain’ we summoned? He looks... weak.”
Okay, rude.
“Uh,” I finally managed, raising a hand. “I think there’s been a mistake.”

Chapter 1: I’m Not Evil, I Swear!
“Alright, listen.” I took a deep breath, trying to ignore the pressure of three highly dangerous people staring at me. “I think you guys got the wrong person. I’m just a normal guy. No magic. No evil ambitions. Just a dude who works in an office and—”
A system-like notification appeared in my vision.
---
Villain’s Charisma Activated.
All spoken words will now carry the weight of an ominous final boss.
---
Wait, what?
Hana gasped. “His words… they carry an undeniable authority! Such a presence! The sheer audacity of pretending to be normal after being summoned by fate itself! True villain material!”
“No, no, no,” I waved my hands. “That’s not what I—”
Lucas narrowed his eyes. “I see. He’s playing the long game. A true tactician.”
Kleo smirked. “This might be fun.”
What was happening?! My own words were betraying me!

New Ability Unlocked: Infernal Transmigration.
The soul of the beast is but a vessel—one easily shattered and replaced by a far greater darkness.

Oh. Oh, that didn’t sound good.
The air around me grew heavy. Dark energy swirled at my fingertips, and a strange knowledge filled my mind—something primal, something ancient.
Hana’s eyes sparkled. “YES! He’s already awakening his power! Our villain is perfect!”
I looked down at my hands, then back at the three lunatics in front of me.
Oh no.
I think they just made me
the final boss of their world.
And I had no idea what I was doing.
