While working overtime through several nights, I fell asleep for a short while. When I woke up, I seemed to be possessing the villain of the webnovel I was reading.
"Well, how typically cliché... to the point where I'd end up dead if I were to follow the predetermined fate. Darn it."
I need to find a way to survive.
The first way to survive as a good-for-nothing villain in the webnovel: "Convince as many people as possible to be on my side."
The second way to survive as a good-for-nothing villain in the webnovel: "Become strong enough to protect myself."
Lastly, the third way to survive as a good-for-nothing villain in the webnovel: "Never become friendly with that proud and insane 'Summoned Master'."
But what should I do?
Even before I possessed this body, the original owner already caused an incident.
"Use your money to kill the 'Summoned Master' who has yet to regain his power? Are you crazy? Then who will stop the Demon King?"
This is the beginning of the modern-day survival + dungeon-raider fantasy story of Choi Yu-Seong, the possessed villain who wants to live a laid-back lifestyle!
