I’m Reborn as a Villainous Lord Who Gets Killed by a Hero, and Because I Trained Too Hard in the Beginning, I End up Taking the Hero’s Position~I’m Being Targeted by a Resentful Hero, but I’m Completely Unaware of It~
“Well, what do I do now ……?”
I look at my ugly reflection in the mirror and think about the future.
If I go on like this, I can’t avoid a future of destruction.
In the setting of the original story, Ooga gets the rubbish skill of ‘Appraisal’ in a skill-granting ceremony he undergoes on the day he turns 15.
The Dukes of Bryant are a family that has been granted the ‘Sword Saint’ skill for generations.
Originally from a family of S-rank adventurers, they are nobles who have built themselves up through their sword skills.
Because of the rubbish skill of ‘Appraisal’, Ooga was kicked out of the Dukes of Brailant and stripped of his position as successor.
Expelled from his family, Ooga’s originally bad character becomes even more distorted and he begins to humiliate girls all the time.
The fate of being given the rubbish skill of ‘Appraisal’ is …… probably inevitable.
Skills are assigned to each character, so Ooga will certainly be given the rubbish skill ‘Appraisal’.
“But …… Ooga would be fine even if his skills were rubbish.”
‘Darkness Fantasy’ is an eroge, but it has combat.
Ooga has rubbish skills, but his status is unusually high.
His ancestors were S-rank adventurers, so his attack, defence, strength, magic, agility, luck – all his stats are S-rank.
However, Ooga is an arrogant, lazy and vicious lord.
Naturally, he makes no effort at all.
That’s why he hasn’t learnt a single magic, and his swordsmanship is also useless.
In battle, he wins with potential and his fists alone.
“What would happen if such an Ooga made an effort ……?”
Now, Ooga is seven years old.
There are eight years left until the ceremony of granting skills.
(Okay,…… if I make an effort from now, I’m sure Ooga will–)
He could be the strongest …… in terms of combat.
But there is a bigger problem.
That is–.

“Kyaa!!!”
Dinner at the home of the Dukes of Bryant.
A fork was stuck in the servant’s hand.
“You ……, how dare you spill the wine?”
A bearded, arrogant-looking man looks down at the servant with a fork stuck in hand.
Yeah. The problem that Ooga has is actually his father, the Duke of Bryant.
He is the worst kind of lord: arrogant, lazy and exploits his people.
He is also arrogant and violent towards his servants.
(He’s a gruff, scruffy aristocrat. ……)
There is a wall between commoners and nobles that can never be crossed.
Commoners cannot defy the nobility.
Taking advantage of this, the Duke of Bryant does whatever he likes.
Ooga’s scruffy character was inherited from his father.
His fat body and ugly face are just like Ooga’s.
He was born an aristocrat, but his parentage can be described as F-rank.
“Ooga. This is how a rough servant is made to understand. Ha ha ha!”
A father lecturing me, his son, on how to treat servants.
He ignores the cowering servant with blood streaming from her hand and talks to me while laughing.
(It’s bad. …… this guy)
I thought he was a ‘toxic parent’ while playing the game, but when I confronted him, he was ten times creepier.
It’s no wonder Ooga is a scumbag if he’s raised by parents like this.
“Father, let’s get her some medical attention now.”
“Why? My son, isn’t it a pleasure to pain?”
“The sooner we treat her, the sooner we can prick her again with the fork.”
“I see. That’s my boy!”
The only way to convince a crazy person is to conform to his ideas.
I had dealt with power-harassing bosses at a black company in a previous life, so I knew how to get along with the crazy ones.
Common sense won’t work with this dad anyway.
“All right. Cure this bum.”
With the help of another servant’s shoulder, the servant with the fork stuck in her left the room.
(Seriously scum. ……)
If I don’t expel this father soon, I’m in trouble.
Because of him, I, his son, am getting a lot of hate from the people of the territory.
If we leave him like this, we will be ruined.
But Ooga is still a child.
He may be scum, but he’s a noble father and I’ll use him where I can.
“Father, …… please get me a tutor.”
“Oh, …… a tutor?”
“Yes. I’m trying to train in sword and sorcery for the future. ……”
In the original story, the lazy Ooga did not do any training.
Since I’ve been reincarnated in a rich and vicious lord’s house, I should get an excellent tutor.
Now is the time to save strength anyway.
“Fine. I’ll get you the best tutor.”
“Thank you. Father.”
(Good! I am going to get stronger and stronger. ……!)
★
“Phew ……, I’ve worked hard today.”
After finishing my magic lessons, I head to the Duke of Bryant’s library.
In the morning I learnt sword from the former Knight Commander of the Kingdom, and in the afternoon I learnt magic from a grade A magician.
I was given the ‘best tutor’, as that father said.
After the tutor’s lessons, I spend the evening reading through the Duchess of Bryant’s collection of books.
The Duke of Bryant’s library is quite rich. They buy a lot of rare books and have a monopoly on knowledge.
(I’m reading a lot of books today……!)
I thought it was a doujin eroge with a goverment setting, but the world seems surprisingly packed.
The names of the towns and lands are needlessly detailed, and the history of the world is properly set up.
My territory, the Dukedom of Bryant, was located in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Altria.
It borders the neighbouring Kingdom of Leoria and is a strategic point for the defence of the eastern part of the kingdom.
Thanks to this, the Dukes of Bryant have a high status within the Kingdom of Altria.
(Well, they use that status as a shield to do whatever they want in their territory. ……)
In order to prepare for future exile, I cram up all sorts of knowledge about the history, geography, politics and economics of this world – in any case.
It’s to make sure I can survive in any situation.
“Ooga sama, …… your dinner is ready.”
Smiling, Angelica serves me a dinner at my desk.
According to the original characterisation, Ooga should be disliked by Angelica, but for some reason, she brings me a nightly meal every day these days.
The Duke of Bryant’s library is located away from the house. It’s quite a distance from the mansion’s kitchen, so it’s not easy for her to cook the evening meal and bring it to me every day.
“Thank you, Angelica.”
“Ooga sama, it’s amazing that you study every day. It’s amazing that you take classes in sword and sorcery during the day and then go to the library at night to read so many books.”
In the dim light of the candles, the flabby breasts swayed.
Yeah. It looks bigger in real life than it does on a PC screen.
In the original story, Ooga rubs these boobs wildly. ……
So my eyes are inevitably drawn to them.
“……? Can I help you? Ooga sama?”
Angelica peered curiously into my face.
“No, it’s nothing.”
“Do you have a fever, ……?”
She put her hand on my forehead.
“Ummm …… you don’t seem to have a fever.”
I can see her breasts peeking out from above. I feel like I’m going to get a fever in another way.
“Thanks for worrying about me. I’m fine.”
“……! I’ll do anything for you, Ooga sama!”
“I-I see…I’ll call you if there’s anything……”
At this rate, Angelica will be by my side all night. ……
“I see…… I’m always willing to devote myself to you, Ooga sama”
I felt like I’d just been told something amazing in a casual way, but I’ll let it pass for now.
“Well then, …… please call me if you need me. Really, really, anything at all, call on me at once!”
With regretful regret, Angelica stepped back.
(Phew …… Finally, I can concentrate now.)
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of attention from the servants.
They try to play with me, maybe because Ooga is still a child.
But now I have to get stronger anyway.
And I don’t have much time.
I have eight years left until the skill-granting ceremony.
In these eight years I will train my body as much as possible, learn magic and accumulate knowledge.
“I should be able to live even if I’m exiled. ……”
