When one man is isekai'd into the game he's been playing, he winds up becoming the doomed villain. Can his knowledge of the game help him avoid a disastrous fate, or will his meddling cause more harm? A fantasy light novel about rewriting fate and facing the inevitable!

Video game character Weiss Hamilton is destined to lose everything-his position, his family, and ultimately his life. A tragic villain who was overshadowed by his talented sister, blamed for mismanaging his territory, and fated to fall at the hands of the game's hero, Weiss is nothing more than a failure. And to be reincarnated as him? A fate worse than death! Or is it?

Armed with knowledge of the game's plot, the new Weiss has a second chance to rewrite his fate and become a proper villain with a better future. Using his own cheats to avoid every pitfall, Weiss has the ability to avoid doom and impending tragedy, all while winning the hearts of the beautiful ladies around him. Can he maintain this new course, grow his harem, and survive the plot that's written against him?!
