Scum-less Oblige, I Have Been Reincarnated as a Scum Villain in an 18+ Game World, and I Absolutely Want to Grasp the Mob Life with the Power of My Knowledge of the Original Story - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The Awakening of Scum:

I couldn’t help but exclaim, “Who is this?”

As I looked into a large mirror, I saw a small child’s reflection.

Surely, the clothes are of high quality.

The look in his eyes, however, clearly displayed his arrogant attitude.

In short, a brat.

There was no way I looked like that.

But when I saw the reflection in front of me, I suddenly remembered.

“This is…”

This figure is definitely “…This ain’t scum, is he?”

My screams instantly filled the room that day.

The Duke of Randall’s eldest son, Randall Ultos, is an evil aristocrat in a certain 18+-oriented romance game.

He is also known as ‘Scum’.

Moreover, ‘the scum’ is extremely despised by everyone.

In brief, this Scum is a narrow-minded villainous aristocrat who is like a middle boss.

His appearance was pig-like. Thus, seeing the protagonist enter the magic academy and have a handsome appearance, he grows jealous and always causes him trouble.

No, if that were all, this scum would have been an ordinary villain.

But he didn’t end there.

One of the heroines was traumatized by the loss of her mother in her childhood, and this scum was the cause of that trauma.

He is a nasty guy who makes the innocent, big-breasted heroine, who is liked by all the players, cry and get in the hero’s way.

Moreover, he has a bad character.

In addition, his laugh is “uh-g uh-g uh-g uh-uh,” which is disgusting.

Who would like a character like this?

Thus, this scum gained overwhelming popularity in the wrong direction.

During an interview with the game’s production team, they even said “We can’t forgive him either.”

In numerous secondary versions, the most common route is for the protagonist who is reincarnated in another world to beat this scum to a bloody pulp and heal the heroine’s childhood trauma.

In the live broadcast, the moment the scum was broadcasted, the audience was flooded with comments such as “You scum!”, “You low life!”, and “Die.”

Well, the story does not end there.

Other mid-boss characters may reconcile with the protagonists or cooperate with them as the game progresses in some way. However, for the scum, there is not even such a reconciliation event, perhaps because his usual words and actions were too annoying.

See? Isn’t it messed up already?

In the end, the scum’s fate is that he is manipulated to death by the mastermind.

He was born into the Dukes of Randall, a noble family, but the protagonist ends up reducing him to rags.

By the way, even after the scum’s death, the protagonist pays no attention to it.

“!”

“Wait a minute. How old is he now?” I asked myself.

The scum in the mirror looks like he has a distorted personality, but isn’t overweight yet.

If you only look at his appearance, he is not that out of shape. He stares straight into the mirror. He must be 8 or 9 years old.

At this age, the scum actually had a talent for magic and started attracting the attention of others.

But soon, he enjoyed women and was selfish.

He did not study magic or train with a sword.

And so, after leading an idle life, a fine scum is created, to be beaten into a pulp by the protagonist’s justice.

“…. Can I change this fate?”

I asked the mirror.

It’s pretty simple when you think about it.

In short, all you have to do is avoid all the scum events in the main story.

That way, I wouldn’t die. Yes, I want to fall in love, but I don’t plan to create a harem of beautiful girls like the scum in the game.

I prefer pure love.

In other words, live the opposite way.

Living a serious and honest life.

Training and studying moderately.

Staying away from the hero’s party as much as possible.

You know what I mean?

I want to be the ordinary Mob A clapping around the protagonist’s party in the last episode.

“Yes,” I said, “I’ve decided what I’m going to do.”

I clench my fists.

Once again, I stared back at the mirror.

Scum. Sorry, but I’ll live a serious life.

Well, I feel like I’m not that different from the scum, since I’m totally only thinking about my survival.

…Um but… I was naive. 

So naive, indeed.

I had no idea that this scum was this despicable.

I was at a loss when I saw the maid trembling in front of me. ‘I’m sorry, Ultos-sama. Have I caused any trouble? I’m sorry, I have a family…”

Saying that, the quiet-looking maid rattled and trembled.

“…”

I’m not sure what to say.

Of course, I kept a calm face and remained silent.

I said one thing inwardly.

‘…Hey scum, haven’t you been doing it far too much since childhood???’
