The Arcane Emperor - Chapter 49 Not Even a Footnote

Kuro Aku was a high-schooler who one day bought a game because he liked one of the characters on the cover.

To his great surprise, that game turned out to be an otome game and the character he liked was the villainess who was destined for a bad end!

He was desperately playing through the game in search of some sort of way to save the villainess but he died in an accident before he could achieve that, and got reincarnated into the world of that very game by a selfish being who began calling him its toy!

In a different world, before the proper game started, and as a side character who doesn't even have a name fueled by a firm conviction to save the tragic villainess, he won't stop at anything to ensure her happiness!

Is saving the villainess even possible?

And what does being a toy of the mysterious being even means?

Read now to find the answer!

In this world, no station offers sanctuary; suffering, an inescapable shadow, finds all.

Each return a fresh descent into the abyss.But will he forever kneel, a puppet to his torment? Will he remain the naive fool who clung to the illusion of kindness? Or will the fractured remnants of his being coalesce into a force the world has never witnessed? A mastermind forged in the crucible of despair. A monster destined to unravel all, even himself.This is the tale of Veythor: the man who defied the quietude of death.And perhaps… the man who will shatter fate itself.
