Prologue

Atop a building, where cold winds howled furiously.

Two figures were locked in a standoff.

“...”

The woman who glared at me from the heights above, her long golden hair whipping in the wind, was the hero, Stardust.

“Haha...”

And facing her, I was undoubtedly the villain of this world.

“So, Egoistic. Your games end here. What more do you plan to do?”

She spat the words at me, her gaze icy.

Given that she was pursuing me for having kidnapped hostages and instigating terror… Well, wasn’t her reaction quite expected?

The real name of the Hero known as ‘Stardust’ was actually Shin Haru—Noble, just, compassionate, and unwavering.

She was the protagonist of the fiction I had been mysteriously transmigrated to.

Over the years, I had become her arch-nemesis. Why, you ask? Well, you could say it’s all for her sake... not that she would ever know that.

Concealing my true feelings, I gave her a villainous grin and spoke.

“Very well. You’ve done an excellent job this time, too. Truly commendable. You really live up to the reputation of the arch-nemesis I acknowledged.”

As I exaggeratedly applauded in the air, she scowled and yelled at me.

“I don’t need your acknowledgment, you piece of shit!”

Fine, fine, I get it. I’m sorry.

But the problem is, I’m currently levitating through telekinesis, and I don’t have much time left to maintain it. If things go wrong, I could plummet down below.

So, let’s wrap this up quickly: My final farewell.

“Yes, Stardust. You’ve always been like this! You were the first to see through my ‘games,’ the first to oppose me, and the one who always pursued me like this was also… you.”

She glared at me as if to ask what I was talking about.

Ah, it looked like she just twitched, as if to fly over here.

Hey, I still control the building’s explosive devices, okay? Don’t come closer.

“Anyway, it seems like this will be my last little amusement. You’ve grown up now. No need to play with me anymore. I doubt I’ll be singling you out in the future either... Take care, Stardust.”

“...What? Wait...!”

Having said all that I wanted to, I swung my cloak in front of me and teleported away in an instant.

And the last image of Stardust that met my departing eyes...

Was of her pupils trembling fiercely.

What’s going on? Why is she reacting like that?

[AsuraTl: Hey there! Asura speaking. Just a quick heads-up—I won't be translating from the very beginning, but starting at Chapter 190. Have an awesome day! :-) ]
