Due to Zero almost wiping out the fictional dimension, Fictosa's system malfunctioned. It has failed to distinguish the boundary between two dimensions and allowed the villains from the most grossing and award-winning books to leave steps in the real world. Crowned with the ugliest beauty, a saint turned necromancer, Gregory August Xibel Thelonius hates women and vows to never deal with them again. But as he casually strolls into the real dimension, he suddenly becomes the father of a four-year-old kid. No matter how he refuses to take responsibility, the kid already marks him as a parent. He becomes an instant dad without knowing anything about parenting. As he is forced to raise a child, he also races with time to find her parents before the system brings him back to Fictosa. But how can he, a villain, who has done nothing but throw hatred, babysits a kind he despised? And when another figure comes into the picture, how will a villain like him handle women?
