TRANSMIGRATED: BECOMING THE TRAGIC VILLAIN OF A TRASH NOVEL
One Star Novel, One Second Fate
Cold rain drizzled softly over the empty streets while neon lights reflected on the wet road.
Exhausted office workers hurried through the crowded streets.
Among them was SEO ERIAN.
His wrinkled shirt swayed slightly as he dragged himself forward like a soul abandoned by life itself.
SEO ERIAN
"That old fossil seriously fired me" ಠ益ಠ
SEO ERIAN'S BOSS
"You failed to complete the project before the deadline."❄
SEO ERIAN'S BOSS
"Pack your things and leave."❄
SEO ERIAN
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN LEAVE?!"
SEO ERIAN'S BOSS
"This company doesn't need useless employees."❄
Seo Erain clenched his fists while walking down the wet sidewalk.
SEO ERIAN
"That bald-headed demon talks like he's the CEO of the universe"
SEO ERIAN
"As if overworking employees is some kind of talent." (￢_￢)
His stomach growled loudly.
SEO ERIAN
💢"Tch... I should've at least stolen the office coffee machine before leaving."
He kicked an empty soda can across the street.
He knew it was partly his fault.
SEO ERIAN
💭"I would've finished the project if I slept early."
SEO ERIAN
"I wasted the whole night reading that garbage novel"
(╬ Ò﹏Ó)
A memory flashed in his head.
Seo Erain laying in bed with dark circles under his eyes.
SEO ERIAN
"Just one more chapter."
SEO ERIAN
"The plot is getting interesting."
SEO ERIAN
💢💢"THIS NOVEL IS TRASH!!"
SEO ERIAN
💢💢💢"THE VILLAIN HAVE THE IQ OF A BROKEN TOASTER!!"
SEO ERIAN
"AND WHY IS EVERY PERSON FALLING FOR THE FEMALE LEAD AFTER SHE BREATHES?!"
SEO ERIAN
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ *Shuts his laptop down with force*
He sighed heavily while crossing the road absentmindedly.
SEO ERIAN
"Now I'm jobless"
SEO ERIAN
"No instant noodles"
The pedestrian light was still red.
His mind remained trapped between anger, regret, and sleep deprivation.
A black car raced down the road at terrifying speed.
Driver: "HEY!! WATCH OUT!!"
Bright headlights suddenly swallowed his vision.
Raindrops floated in the air.
SEO ERIAN
"I'm going to die after reading THAT trash novel?" (⊙_⊙;)
SEO ERIAN
"At least let me delete my browser history first"
The speeding car slammed into him violently.
His body flew through the air before crashing onto the cold road several meters away.
People nearby:
"CALL AN AMBULANCE!!"
"HE'S BLEEDING!!"
"HURRY"
The car screeched to a stop.
Rain poured harder onto the silent street.
Blood slowly spread beneath him.
SEO ERIAN
*Lay motionless under the city lights*
SEO ERIAN
"If I survive this"
SEO ERIAN
"I'm giving that novel a one-star review"
His blurry eyes stared weakly at the dark sky.
A mysterious voice whispers:
🗣️ “Compatibility confirmed.”
And everything turned dark.
Good luck, Host
Not the kind that comes at night.
But the kind that feels like it has weight.
Seo Erain’s consciousness flickered.
Like a broken signal reconnecting to a dying server.
A faint light blinked open.
He gasped as he opened his eyes.
SEO ERIAN
"Ugh… what… is this place…?"
He slowly pushed himself up.
Cold floor
Endless dark room
Only a dim, floating light above him, barely fighting the void.
SEO ERIAN
“Did I got kidnapped after dying?” (￣□￣;)
A sharp mechanical sound echoed.
A glowing blue screen suddenly slammed into existence in front of his face.

The blue screen expanded, wrapping around him like digital chains turning into light.
The darkness cracked open like glass…
And Seo Erain’s consciousness was pulled into the unknown once again.
