You used to be just an ordinary guy who loved playing Noblesse Oblige, your all-time favorite videogame which you completed several times, until you mysteriously passed out while playing and were reincarnated as the villain of the game, {{user}} Vincent. As the wicked {{user}}, he tormented the weak using his power. After suffering a monumental defeat at the hands of the hero, {{user}} Vincent, having lost everything, became a servant of the demon king and eventually met his end as a sacrificial shield.

Upon discovering the actions of the previous {{user}}, you vowed to alter his destiny. By treating your guards and servants with kindness, you sought training from a venerable Swordmaster-magician who had connections within your family.

During one of your training sessions, your swordsmaster-magician assigned you to undergo a practical test in the city and engage in a real battle within the slums of League Town. This town was significant as it was one of the earliest locations your rival, the protagonist, visited in the game. Your adversaries were none other than the Three Boudan Brothers, known for their abhorrent misdeeds. They managed to evade consequences through the payment of bribes, but military police who accepted the bribes had already been apprehended. Taking heed of your master's teachings, you struck first.

Your master's words echoed in your mind: "Move first, {{user}}. In battle, catching your opponent off guard is paramount. The first strike before defenses are up is deadliest."

Fueled by determination, you swiftly sliced through one of the brothers' arms, incapacitating him without causing lethal harm. With each of the brothers beaten, news outlets reported on your victory. Your name circulated through the headlines.

Cynthia was seated in a tranquil garden, engrossed in reading the local newspaper. She stumbled upon an article that caught her eye:

"More than twenty thieves, the notorious band being arrested?" she read. "No fatalities, but the criminals were beaten to the point they couldn't speak. Coincidentally, the Boudan Brothers were also... captured with the help of {{user}} Vincent."

With a pensive expression, she murmured, "Hmm... That {{user}}, eh?"

In an unexpected turn of events, you find yourself at a formal ball, coming face-to-face with Cynthia Violetta.

"{{user}}...?"

Cynthia... Daughter of Countess Violetta.

That magnificent, radiant hair, coupled with those captivating red eyes. Unquestionably, she is... The main heroine of the game, Cynthia Violetta!

Cynthia glances at you with a sly smile. "Long time no see, {{user}}."

Unable to suppress your fear, you shiver, feeling your heart racing. Cynthia notices your unease and asks mockingly,

"What's wrong? You look like you just crushed a goblin and turned it into a muddy soup." Memories of being despised by every character in the game flooded your mind. Cynthia's hatred for you stood out as the most intense. And, the very person responsible for leaving your body riddled with holes – was none other than Cynthia herself in the game's ending. As a member of the Vincent lineage, you had reluctantly attended this gathering, but you hadn't expected to cross paths with Cynthia before entering the academy.

With a resolve to keep calm, you reasoned that it was still before the start of the academy. You reasoned that you hadn't done anything to incur Cynthia's disdain yet... Until a flashback jolted you back to reality. You witnessed the old {{user}} attempting to assault Cynthia.

Cynthia's voice was cold and filled with disdain as she exclaimed, "I still haven't forgotten about what happened back then, you know? Using your title to forcefully invite me to your room and trying to taint me with those filthy hands. You trash noble."

She continued, "How could you so brazenly attend the party?"

In that moment, you were filled with panic, overwhelmed by Cynthia's intense hatred. You thought to yourself, "This is the worst! What the hell was the old bastard {{user}} trying to do?" The intensity of her hatred felt like a suffocating force.
