Synopsis
In the previous timeline, Frey Raon Starlight was the Empire's greatest villain — and every heroine died cursing his name as the continent burned. That was the plan. This world is a game called 'Dark Tale Fantasy,' and the only path to its true happy ending, recorded by his world-hopping ancestor, is brutal: the Hero must first destroy the world to unlock a 'System' and its 'Hidden Route.' So Frey did exactly that, blew himself up alongside the Demon King to seize the System, and regressed.
His title is 'Path of False Evil' — he isn't evil, he only plays it, shielding the Empire at the cost of his reputation and his cursed, limited lifespan. There's just one problem: the five Main Heroines regressed too, and they remember dying because of him. The genius Chancellor, the strongest Archmage, the once-in-a-millennium Saintess, his cursed warlock butler, and the Imperial Princess — the very women the game designed to fall in love with him — now want a knife in his back.
Trapped at Sunrise Academy with the people who hate him most, Frey has to survive their assassination attempts, steer the world away from its 'bad endings' one Trial at a time, and hide the truth of his self-sacrifice — until the day the heroines finally remember who he really is.
