Amaranthine

❝I am not the Ianthe you once knew. ❞

He fell into an otome game as a pathetic, spoiled brat whose love was as miserable as his horrible attitude; a cannon fodder whose only worth is to be a stepping stone for the main character. If he completes the system's tasks, then he'd be able to have a happy ending.

However after the story reached its end, what greeted him was death.

And when he opened his eyes once more, he returned to the very same beginning.

He restarted.

He played through countless routes.

But the ending was, still, death.

On his 117th cycle, he realized it was all meaningless. The fairytale ending he dreamed of would never happen; his script as the villain is to burn for a foolish one-sided love and die. Yet, as he resisted his scripted role, a strange transformation took hold. Those who once spurned him now clamored for his affection.

His fiancé, the grand duke, who betrayed him,
His childhood friend, the crown prince, who abandoned him,
and the male lead, whose route will always lead to his death.

He was driven by a singular desire: escape from the confines of this wretched game, one way or another.

Even if it meant killing the main characters.
