From Reborn Villain to Accidental Hero: I Was Just Trying to Avoid a Bad Ending but Became Too Strong!

After dying in a fit of rage over the notoriously terrible indie game "Darkness Fantasy"—a title infamous for its endless one-star reviews—a frustrated gamer awakens to find himself reincarnated within its world. Worse yet, he has been reborn as Oga, a corrupt noble and mid-story boss character destined to be brutally slain by the protagonist. Knowing exactly how his narrative is supposed to end, he resolves to defy his fate by training relentlessly, determined to build enough strength to survive the hero's inevitable arrival. However, when the reincarnated hero finally appears, something goes entirely wrong. Instead of facing an overwhelming champion, Oga discovers that the hero is shockingly underpowered. What began as a desperate bid for survival quickly spirals out of control as Oga's intense preparation makes him far too strong. Without meaning to, he ends up eclipsing the hero entirely, inadvertently stealing his spotlight, his romantic interests, and even his grand destiny. All Oga ever wanted was to avoid a gruesome bad ending, but his frantic efforts have accidentally transformed the story's greatest villain into its most formidable savior.
