Romance Revived: An NPC Was the Final Boss's Love

Kreis, the son of a powerful marquess, harbors a secret: he is a modern-day Japanese man reincarnated into the world of a boys’ love novel he authored himself. Tragically, his memories only resurface after he has already been branded a villain, executed as a mere lackey of the final boss, and inexplicably hurled back in time. Armed with foreknowledge and a second chance at life, Kreis vows to exact revenge upon the family that mistreated him while dedicating himself to an unexpected cause—protecting the story’s breathtakingly beautiful final boss, King Siegfried. Though he cannot fully explain it, Kreis feels an overwhelming compulsion to shield the king at any cost. As his birthday party approaches, Kreis knows that every major character from his own narrative will soon gather under one roof, including his younger brother, who was originally written as the protagonist. With the looming threat of the story’s predetermined tragedy pressing down on him, Kreis must navigate a treacherous path of shifting loyalties and hidden motives. Backed by King Siegfried’s unwavering support, he faces his greatest challenge yet: rewriting destiny itself and finally breaking free from the tragic fate he once penned.
