# Episode 1. Bless this strange reincarnation!

I am proud to say that I have had a harder time than others.

I’ve been reincarnated, been kidnapped, and experimented on humans.

In order to survive, he killed several unreasonable people, and once faced a million soldiers alone because of his beggar superior.

The standard for ‘difficult’ may vary from person to person, but at least as a person who has lived a life full of unusual adversity, I thought I would not feel any surprise in my future life.

but.

“Brother, have sex with my party members!”

I couldn’t help but be surprised when I found out that my only younger brother was an NTR loyalist who gave his woman to another man.

No, if you say ‘ㅇㅇ’ without even thinking about such a stupid suggestion in the first place, you are not a human being.

First of all, I have to start by breaking the head of my younger brother who said those damn words.

* * *

My name is Kane Willow. 25 years old

He is a reincarnation.

He was also reincarnated as the brother of a hero who appeared as a villain.

The place where I was reincarnated is a world in a third-rate web novel called , which is a cliché story about the main character, the second son of Count Willowod, who was chosen as a warrior and saves the world with his party members.

Yes, that’s as far as reincarnation goes.

In a world where people are reincarnated as goblins, slimes, and even panties, you should be grateful if you were born as a human.

The problem is that the main character in this body I reincarnated is the eldest son of Count Willowod, the twin brother of the protagonist of the novel, the hero, and later becomes infamous as an executive of the Demon King’s army.

Kane Willow.

That is who I am today.

In the original novel, the author, Kane Willowod, was doomed to misfortune.

As in other fantasy novels, it is a cliché that the hero’s brothers and sisters are treated with contempt.

The hero’s brother special. He was compared to his older brother, a proud warrior, but was abandoned and took revenge by turning black.

Of course, this guy named Kane, whom I reincarnated, was almost abandoned by his parents who only loved his younger brother, and was later kidnapped by the Demon Lord’s army under the pretext of testing the blood of a hero.

Yes, it would have been nice to have a happy ending where the story is about a person being kidnapped, rescued, returning to their family and living a harmonious life again, but that is not the case in this novel.

The imperial family, who knew that Kane did not have the qualities to be a warrior, chose to abandon him without hesitation, giving up his value as a hostage on the grounds that it was a waste of manpower.

Well, whether voluntarily or not, Kane’s parents also participated in this decision, and when Kane found out about this fact belatedly, feeling despair and anger, he transferred to the Demon King’s army, participated in full-scale human experiments, gained great power, and rose to the position of executive.

He then faces his younger brother, a warrior who came to defeat him, but of course he loses.

While hesitating and unraveling his past history, he disappears with a will to hate the world.

Even though he was a villain, his story was a story, so there were many comments asking him not to kill Kane in the episode in which he appeared. Of course, it’s a bonus that Kane’s parents cursed a lot.

Having lived as an orphan in my past life, I also knew the pain of being forgotten by the world, so I watched the episode where Kane appeared with quite a bit of empathy, and when he died, I prayed for him to live a happy life in the afterlife, even though he was a character.

And I was possessed by Kane Willow.

* * *

No, I’ve heard of people being dragged into a novel with a 7,800-character complaint or gossiping behind the author’s back, but what kind of case is it that a character is reincarnated for praying for their soul to rest in peace?

The few days I was reincarnated as Kane were quite absurd, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that maybe it was God’s guidance to live a happy life as Kane, which was an unfortunate fate.

Since I had no regrets about my previous life of living a lonely life as an orphan, I made it my goal in life to enjoy this reincarnation and live a happy life.

As the story goes, my younger brother was selected as a warrior at the church where he went to be baptized, and I, who turned out to have no power, was able to naturally escape everyone’s attention.

As I knew the whole future, I wasn’t particularly shocked.

I knew something like this would come, and there was no need to give even the affection of family to those who were destined to abandon me.

I thought it would be much better for him to live my second life freely, rather than for the hero’s older brother to have annoying expectations and interfere with me here and there.

So, despite everyone’s indifference, I prepared for a happy future.

It’s already been 10 years since I lived at Count Willowod’s house.

I was kidnapped by the devil’s army.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not ‘did’. It was given to me.

It’s not because he has Stockholm Syndrome or some weird fetish that makes him excited about being kidnapped, but because he has a talent that can only be gained by being kidnapped.

Glitney of Greed.

The Demon King’s Army, who accidentally unearthed some tissue of Glitni, an ancient monster that had only been passed down in legend, was conducting an experiment to transplant the monster’s abilities into living things. However, all the test subjects developed a rejection reaction and died, and it was impossible to find a suitable transplanter. It was the situation.

Meanwhile, I discovered a tasty test subject called the warrior’s blood relatives.

I don’t know why, but Glitney’s organization did not react negatively to Kane in the novel, and knowing this, decided to deliberately get kidnapped for the power of Glitney as a half-gambit.

Although the demons were embarrassed to see me being kidnapped calmly without any resistance(?), the kidnapping was successful, and I succeeded in stealing the power from a secret laboratory near the border between the empire and the demon territory.

They also released some other people who had been captured as test subjects.

Although all ancient monsters show crazy abilities, Glitni has the craziest abilities among them all.

That is, absorbing some of the power of the killed opponent.

This guy, who lives up to the name of greed and extorts the power of others, is the number one contributor to the original’s Kane, who had no talent, rising to the position of executive in the Demon King’s army.

How amazing is it that you can become stronger just by killing your opponent like in a game?

My goal in life is to live a peaceful second life, but it is true that extraordinary strength is needed to survive in this fantasy world where wars are frequent and monsters abound.

It can be said to be a kind of investment for a leisurely future.

After escaping from the laboratory, I immediately joined the imperial army.

Because it is a border area adjacent to the demon territory, there are frequent conflicts with demons, and during times of war, there is a shortage of manpower wherever you go, so I lied about my identity as an orphan and was quickly let in.

Anyway, I started out as a lowly soldier in the army I joined, and when I came to my senses a few years later, I found myself being praised as a hero of the empire.

It’s me, because I don’t want my experience to be taken away by others, so I take the lead in every fight and swing my sword, and people like the dead bodies of soldiers, human traffickers, and corrupt officers who steal support fees don’t even treat me like a human being, so I go around chopping up every foot I see to gain experience. It’s just that… … .

To others, it seems that they always bravely take the lead in war, defeating their enemies, and dealing with the evildoers who harass and persecute them.

As the warrior, who had completed several years of training, set out in earnest with his party members, the demon camp shifted its power, and the battle in the area I was in also entered a lull.

And in the meantime, he was called to the capital to bestow a title on the newly crowned emperor in recognition of his meritorious service.

There was an embarrassing incident because a person I knew was sitting on the emperor’s throne, but the ceremony proceeded normally, and I was awarded the title of Duke along with the Northern Territory.

There was a lot of talk about a man they had never heard of suddenly receiving the title of duke, but those who were opposed were persuaded by the emperor’s good words (physics), and at the award ceremony, he revealed that I was the eldest son of the Willow family, who had been kidnapped by demons in the past, raising public opinion regarding my status. could be mixed up relatively easily.

After becoming a duke overnight, I immediately headed to my assigned territory, where I faced a miserable reality.

My territory, which became a duchy, is in the northern part of the country where it snows for 1/3 of the year, and is often invaded by barbarians and demons from the north, but the previous lord took care of the people’s lives like a dog and committed all sorts of corruption, until the new emperor. Because they were executed by , the lives of the remaining residents of the territory were no different from hell.

Because the weather is cold, it is difficult to grow crops, the knights who are supposed to protect the territory cannot use their strength because they cannot eat properly, and the distrust of the nobility has deepened due to the previous lord’s tyranny.

At first, I thought the emperor was going to mess with me, but when I heard from someone close to the emperor that he had hopes that I would change the North just as I had changed his future, I decided to give it a try.

In fact, rebuilding the north was not a big difficulty.

In the spin-off of the original novel, there is an episode where a group of warriors come to the north for a vacation and discover a huge amount of rare metal deposits, and I took a peek at this.

In the meantime, I worked hard to stop the demons, and they are all trying to feed the people of the territory, so what can they do?

As a result of scouring the mountains in my memory, I discovered the burial site mentioned in the novel, and easily developed the territory based on a huge amount of resources.

It was also of great help that the emperor also provided support in many ways, saying that no one should go hungry on his land.

The situation gradually improved as I requested research on improving cold-resistant crops, invited skilled blacksmiths to the north, and former soldiers who respected and followed me settled in the north, and the existing residents also saw me working hard for the north. I started to see and trust.

It’s been 5 years since I started running the territory like that.

It made profits by operating various businesses based on the mineral industry and industry, and has now become a developed and prosperous territory to the point where it is called a large city.

The city inside the high walls visible from the window is as peaceful as usual.

A month ago, news was heard that a hero had defeated the Demon King after a fierce battle, and many residents of the territory cheered.

The people’s excitement at the fact that humanity’s exploits had been subdued did not go away easily, and I opened the food warehouse to all the territory residents and gave them free alcohol and meat to heat up their festive atmosphere even more., .

The number of documents to be processed has increased, but it’s okay, as long as my people are happy.

And now, the main character of the festival who brought smiles to everyone’s faces is… … .

“Aaaaa!!”

“That… … You can’t believe you hit someone with something like that! Are you out of your mind?!”

“As expected, he was as evil as I thought!”

He is in a state of fainting after being hit by God’s divine punishment (10cm thick scripture, decorative, brand new, market price 8000 perri).

… … I hit you? Are you saying that God punished me?

For your information, in the North, I am a god.
