Name: The Villain Wants to Live
Rating: 4.7 (521 reviews)

Chapter 361: [END]

The mid-level boss of my company’s AAA-game.

Deculein, a villain who dies in 999 out of the 1000 play-throughs.

Now I have transmigrated in his body.

Deculein von Grahan-Yukline is the main protagonist of the web novel The Villain Wants To Live.

He is tall and looks so handsome he could be mistaken for a jewel. His whole appearance exudes elegance and loftiness, allowing not even the tiniest hint of imperfection. His unique aristocratic atmosphere combined with his cold looks stood out even on the continent.

His magic aura as a wizard is ‘Grace’ and it contributes in making him appear refined in all circumstances. After Kim Woojin became Deculein he started working out with his new ‘Iron Man’ trait. It built muscles that were neither too small or large on his body like those found on scupltures.

Deculein is gifted with a flawless aesthetic sense allowing him to always pick the outfits that fit him the best. Most of the time, he dresses with a custom-made suit jacket with a vest wrapped around the inner white shirt. He often complete his attire with either his luxurious staff or his sharp reading glasses depending on the situation.

Summary

Kim Woojin was born and raised in South Korea, working as a game developer on an AAA game. His Ex-Girlfriend Yoo Ara which he had a relationship with for seven years worked at the same company as him.

After improving the bad stats of the game character Deculein von Grahan-Yukline, he somehow got transported in the game into the body of Deculein, and the game’s world became his new reality.

Although retaining his memories and personality as Kim Woojin he did not gain the memories of Deculein, which only resurfaced in certain situations.

His actions are strongly influenced by the personality of Deculein, sometimes uncertain of whether his emotions are that of Kim Woojin or Deculein. Having to take responsibility for the horrible actions and reputation of Deculein, he tries to adapt to his new life with an ever present threat of danger. At the same time, he uses the knowledge he acquired as one of the game’s developers, combined with the resources and talents of Deculein to prepare for the End boss of the game who will eventually destroy this world if not defeated.

Kim Woo Jin had a desire for art which got combined with Deculein’s characteristic [Aesthetic Sense].

His mother died giving birth to his sister. His father continued to grieve until he died of cancer five years later. He gave up his dream of becoming a painter so that his sister would not starve to death. However, his sister soon passed away after he realized what she meant to him.

Prologue

[……Twist it. If you want to kill me.]

The sword embedded in the man’s heart was twitching.

At the end of his short life, the man haughtily asked for his death.

[……]

The woman who held the sword twisted it without saying a word.

His chest was cut open and blood gushed out, but he didn’t even let out a single groan.

[You’re still……so beautiful and yet I can’t have you]

The man’s hand slowly reached up to touch the woman.

The blood on his fingers dirtied her cheek.

The woman held no expression. Cold and firm, just how she was when he fell for her. It was a beautiful sight worthy of the end of his life.

The man wore a hazy smile.

Before long, his last words poured out like blood.

[Damn bitch……]

“Damn bitch” he said.

“Phew. It’s not lagging anymore……”

I sighed while looking at the screen. I once again looked over this character’s settings.

Deculein. One of the game’s mid bosses, a named villain. There had been a lot of bugs since there were a lot of important villains with a wide variety of branching storylines, but fortunately, he had done a lot of sneaky and cunning things throughout the whole game so that he’d die without fail within the first 11 hours of gameplay.

This time his cause of death was his fiancée’s sword.

“Uh, Woojin-ssi?”

I was going to play the game again, but I heard a familiar voice call out my name. I turned to look back.

“Ah, yeah. Ah-rah-ssi.”

Even without any make-up, her eyes looked big and her long hair was shiny even without special care.

This woman, who was endowed with such beauty, was Yoo Ah-ra.

She’s the one I’m dating, or rather dated.

“Is the testing going well?”

I shrugged at the question.

“Yes, I’m still on it~”

Yoo Ah-ra nodded silently. As I looked at her I noticed a new accessory hanging around her neck.

My lips pulled up into a pout unconsciously.

“Looks like it’s going well with your boyfriend, huh?”

“Huh? Oh…… I’m not sure?”

Yoo Ah-ra shrugged her shoulders as well.

Some of our gestures had become somewhat similar as we dated.

“I think it’s going well.”

“Hmm~”

I pointlessly drummed my finger on my mouse.

I had heard about it from the rumours, but I still felt very upset hearing this directly from her.

“Why do you ask?”

“……just because.”

Our break-up was already 6 months ago.

In the end, there was no one right or wrong. We just couldn’t understand each other anymore.

I was at my roots a loafer while she was a natural-born workaholic.

Her drive to improve led me to become a man who could make ends meet, but in the end she couldn’t accept my introverted nature.

……No, it was because I didn’t want to change.

“I wish you all the best in your marriage.”

“……Hah.”

“Aigo. Was that a bit pathetic?”

My eyebrows twitched provocatively along with my sarcastic remark.

However, it didn’t get to Yoo Ah-ra.

“Just get ready for work. There’s been changes in the setting so you have to get the modeling done.”

“Again? No…… Why does the author keep changing it?”

I sighed and looked at the clock.

9 p.m. It was already night time, but I still had a lot of work to do.

“Ah. Were you watching one of Deculein’s scenes?”

Yoo Ah-ra, who was looking at my monitor, smirked.

“Yes. He died after 11 hours. But if you use certain tricks, you can kill him right at the start of the game. Isn’t he supposed to be a mid-boss?”

“That’s one of our game’s charms. The more you leave Deculein to his devices, the more evil he’ll become, so the earlier you kill him off, the easier the game will be. The difficulty depends on the player’s choices.”
