The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

Chapter 1: Transmigrating into a Villain, Starting in Hell

"Viktor, you've really made a name for yourself!"

A woman's furious voice echoed from the study.

A beautiful lady with short black hair, clutching a newspaper, jabbed her finger at the magically imprinted image and shouted, "Are you trying to utterly disgrace the Kravina family name?"

Slap!

The newspaper hit the man's face.

He remained impassive as he peeled it off.

His obsidian-like eyes quietly scanned the contents.

The man in the newspaper had well-defined features. Even on the black and white printed page, one could tell he was exceptionally handsome.

It was a face capable of captivating thousands of young girls.

But this didn't include the girl in front of the man.

The man's posture in the image seemed inviting, but the girl in the picture was smiling and refusing him.

Her smile even carried a hint of disdain.

Bang!

A sound snapped him back to reality.

The woman before him - Lia Kravina - slammed her hand on the desk.

"You were sent to represent the family at the banquet, and you actually publicly confessed to the Duke's daughter at the party!?"

"She's still underage! Have you lost your mind?"

Indeed, the newspaper headline read:

[Shocking! Viscount Kravina's Outrageous Act at the Duke's Daughter's Banquet!]

One had to admit, this newspaper knew how to grab attention.

If he had seen such a headline himself, he might have spent a few coins to buy a copy as entertainment for afternoon tea.

Unfortunately, the subject of this headline's entertainment was none other than himself.

Viktor Kravina.

He glanced at the mirror on the desk, and the reflected image matched the handsome man in the newspaper perfectly.

But as someone who had just transmigrated today, without any memories,

Viktor didn't want to take the blame for this.

Although, faced with the woman's angry tirade, he could only remain silent.

If a mentally ill person kills someone and claims they did it because of their mental condition, can they avoid the death penalty?

They actually can.

The premise is that you need to have such a certificate.

Viktor didn't have one.

He could only listen to her insults while lowering his head in silence.

But this appearance of the words going in one ear and out the other seemed to further fuel her anger.

Finally, with a sentence "I must have been crazy to think you would actually listen," as the conclusion, this one-sided scolding session ended.

Viktor was also able to organize the information he had gathered from this lengthy scolding session.

Through the arrangements in the study, as well as the appearance of the short-haired beauty in front of him, everything matched perfectly with a game he had played in his previous life.

It was an adventure-type ORPG game, which stands for "Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game."

In this world of swords and magic, players could customize their own faces, play different races, experience various professions, and enjoy diverse storylines and challenges.

And his profession.

Was a power leveler.

This game also required levels, and if you weren't a pay-to-win player, you still needed to grind for various resources and materials.

If players didn't want to pay but didn't have extra time to gain levels and materials, that's when they needed power levelers.

At the same time, in some PvP (Player vs Player) ranking matches, when players needed to rise to a rank that didn't match their actual strength, they also needed the help of power levelers.

That's what he did in his previous life, and he had quite a reputation in the power leveling circle.

And just yesterday, he had spent seven days without eating or sleeping, finally completing the seventeenth order he had taken on this month.

Just as he was about to settle the account.

Bang, he died suddenly.

His transmigration was just that plain and uneventful.

Back to the point, the character he had transmigrated into was named [Viktor Kravina].

His status was that of a viscount.

In a country like the Kingdom of Carenthia, which uses a title system to distribute power and status, his position as a viscount was more of a symbolic identity.

Apart from having a territory, he didn't have any other special privileges.

In the eyes of commoners, Viktor was naturally a person of power and influence.

But... getting involved with the Duke's daughter?

A viscount was no match for a duke.

"As expected of a villain boss, starting on hell difficulty from the beginning," Viktor mumbled under his breath.

"What did you say?" Lia's voice raised a few octaves, as if in doubt, and also expressing dissatisfaction with his nonchalant attitude.

This naturally drew Viktor's gaze to his nominal sister.

Lia Kravina.

In the game, she was Viktor Kravina's sister.

Due to her extremely high beauty, she was also one of the few female characters in the game that players chased after, calling her 'wife'.

Lia's high popularity was also inseparable from having a "villain brother".

Viktor Kravina was a boss character that players had to defeat in the early to mid-game.

Due to a series of actions by Viktor Kravina, the political power of the Kingdom of Carenthia was overthrown.

The current Empress issued a quest, seeking help from players to defeat Viktor Kravina.

And this villain character, in the end, with various labels such as [High attack and speed, difficult to defeat], [High appearance], [Scumbag mage], etc., inexplicably gained quite high popularity.

All in all, transmigrating into a familiar game should have been a very happy thing.

But he wasn't in a very good mood.

Because...

Viktor's enemies were truly numerous.

Perhaps it was because the tall tree catches the wind, or maybe it was the malice of the plot designers towards handsome guys.

In the game, any NPC the player encountered could potentially have a grudge against Viktor.

It could be a teacher from the magic academy, an elderly man in the village.

Even a dog by the roadside might have been kicked by Viktor before.

More ridiculous was that even a series of main storyline characters wanted to kill him.

This included Viktor's fiancée, Viktor's sister, and the Duke's daughter.

This was also the origin of Viktor's title, [Scumbag mage].

There were only a few well-known female characters with high appearance, and Viktor himself had offended more than half of them.

The fact that he was still alive could be considered a testament to Viktor's superior skills.

And now, he had replaced the original Viktor, becoming the current Viktor...

Just the hatred accumulated by the original body was enough for him to drink a pot full.

'I wonder what time it is now.'

After Lia's earlier inquiry, this time he didn't mumble out loud.

He just thought about it a little in his heart.

But Viktor's pondering once again made Lia feel that he was deliberately not speaking to humiliate her.

Her anger value immediately maxed out.

"Enough! Viktor, do you have any idea what situation you're in!" She angrily pulled out a contract from her designer handbag and threw it on the desk.

"If I hadn't used my connections to contact the academy and have them immediately draft a professor title for you, the Duke's private army would have already been at your mansion's door!"

"Yet you're leisurely sitting in the study, drinking coffee and reading books! Even now, you don't want to say a word of thanks!"

"Thank you."

"I hate you like... Eh?"

Lia's words slightly faltered, she blinked, even forgetting how to vent her anger.

Viktor sat in his seat, took the contract, and while looking at it, said, "Thank you for handling these things for me. Next time in public, I'll be more careful with my words."

"..."

Seemingly not used to her notoriously infamous brother suddenly offering a word of thanks, Lia's finger restlessly twirled a strand of her hair.

Her mood was a bit complicated.

"Anyway, I did this just to avoid bringing shame to the family, and I can only solve it temporarily. You'll have to personally go apologize to the Duke's side."

"Also, not only do you need to thank me, but think about how to deal with Miss Gwen."

"Gwen Delin?"

"Yes, my nomination alone naturally wouldn't be enough to make the academy agree, so I asked Miss Gwen for help."

Saying this, Lia's gaze cooled a few degrees, looking at Viktor as if she was looking at a worm.

"Having a fiancée, yet still wanting to flirt around."

"As expected of you, Mr. Viktor."

Viktor actively filtered out the latter sentence.

"Although I don't know if you've misunderstood something, I will thank her."

In his mind, he recalled this character.

Gwen Delin.

The second daughter of the knight family guarding the northern border, and also Viktor's fiancée in the game's storyline.

She was a true righteous knight, and a righteous knight was destined to stand in opposition to a villain mage.

In the game, although this righteousness-filled knight was Viktor's fiancée, the two had never stood on the same side.

Including in the final storyline of defeating Viktor, it was Gwen who arrived and ended Viktor's life with one spear.

The relationship between these two was more like a forced family alliance, without a hint of affection.

The fact that the great knight Gwen personally stabbed Viktor to death seemed to indirectly confirm the players' guesses.

Unfortunately, the dog plot writers never mentioned the backstories of these characters, and until the end, the relationship between them could never be confirmed.

'Another dangerous character has been added.'

Sighing slightly in his heart, Viktor felt that life was extremely difficult.

Gwen Delin was no small character.

As the strongest knight in the Kingdom of Carenthia, even in the late stages of the game during the chaos of gods and demons, her combat power was still amazingly strong.

In the late game, Gwen Delin would even become a boss that players had to face, and during that time, the formidable strength of the great knight Gwen was clearly imprinted in the hearts of every game player.

Regarding her combat power, Viktor had a clear understanding.

This woman absolutely could not be provoked.

Otherwise, he would really die.

Although he had transmigrated, it seemed he didn't have any cheat codes to use.

As if seeing that Viktor was a bit at a loss, Lia felt inexplicably pleased in her heart.

She thought it was his arrogance not allowing others to help, but in reality, Viktor was just pondering how to protect himself in this seemingly inevitable death ending.

"Heh, there are still some matters to handle in the territory, I'm going back."

Lia laughed coldly, picked up her shoulder bag, and prepared to leave.

"Oh, right."

As she was about to leave, Lia turned back, glancing at Viktor with a pitiful look.

"To actually keep a crow as a pet, and a one-eyed crow at that."

"Your aesthetic taste is still as terrible as before."

Bang!

The study door was closed.

The voice of the maid could still be heard from outside.

'Miss Lia, do you need us to prepare a carriage for you?'

But at this moment, Viktor's thoughts couldn't focus on the departing Lia.

He turned his head and saw a jet-black creature in the corner of the desk.

It looked like a crow, but slightly larger than a crow.

And just as Lia had said.

It only had one eye.

That eye seemed to be full of humanity, rolling around.

Finally, its single eye met Viktor's gaze.

Then, it revealed a human-like smile.

"Hello, I am the evil god—Habika"
