(Servant knocks gently)
“Master Daniel, your breakfast is ready.”
Sam (half-asleep, drooling on silk sheets): “Five more minutes, Mom…”
(The maid gasps) “M-Master?! You called me—Mom?”
Sam jumps awake, blinking at the shining curtains. “Right… not home. I’m a villain now.”
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the golden ceiling. “Do all villains wake up surrounded by luxury? No wonder they turn evil.”
(Servant bows nervously) “Your father requested you attend the royal meeting at noon.”
Sam sits up. “Meeting? Me? Oh no, I can’t even survive school assemblies.”
The butler, an old man named Alfred, sighs. “You seem… different today, young master.”
Sam grins nervously. “Different? Just trying a new… personality patch.”
Sam walks into the huge dining hall. Ten dishes lined up — pancakes, meats, fruits, even something glowing.
He stares, whispering, “In my last life, I fought my sister for one egg.”
Lady Amelia, Daniel’s strict mother, glances up. “Daniel, you’re smiling at your food. Are you plotting something again?”
Sam nearly chokes. “N-No, ma’am! Just… appreciating the chef’s effort?”
Amelia narrows her eyes. “You never appreciate anyone.”
Sam: “Then today’s a new beginning?”
The butler drops a plate in shock.
A few hours later, Sam sits in a grand hall full of nobles and soldiers.
King Aldren speaks: “Lord Daniel, I heard you have a plan for the southern territory.”
Sam gulps. Oh no… that’s where he burns the village in the manga!
He forces a smile. “Actually… I think we should help them. You know, food, medicine, all that moral stuff.”
(Everyone freezes)
A noble whispers, “Is he… serious?”
The king frowns. “You’ve changed, Daniel. I hope this isn’t a trick.”
Sam laughs awkwardly. “Of course not! Vill— I mean, I’m just… evolving!”
Alfred facepalms. “He’s doomed…”
......................
At the same time, Daniel — now in Sam’s teenage body — stares at a classroom blackboard.
Teacher: “Samuel, what is the value of X?”
Daniel: “Power?”
(Class laughs)
He leans closer to his classmate. “This world’s magic system is strange. Everyone uses… pencils?”
The boy beside him whispers, “Bro, you okay?”
Daniel whispers back, “Just… recalibrating.”
When lunch break comes, Sam’s little brother runs up. “Big bro, let’s eat together!”
Daniel smiles gently. “Alright. But you’re sharing half.”
The little boy gasps. “What?! Sam never shares!”
Daniel pats his head. “Then I’m not Sam.”
For the first time, he laughs — a soft, human laugh.
......................
That night, Sam (as Daniel) sits by the mansion window, staring at the stars.
Sam: “Man… this guy’s life is full of money, but no peace.”
...----------------...
(The system chimes softly)
‘Host, new mission: Adapt as the new Daniel. Avoid suspicion.’
...----------------...
Sam sighs. “I can’t even adapt to homework, now this?”
He lays down, staring at the ceiling. “Still… maybe I can change this world. Make the villain a little less… villainy.”
Meanwhile, Daniel (as Sam) sits on the roof of his small home on Earth.
He looks at the stars too, whispering, “Maybe your world wasn’t so bad, Samuel.”
As the night deepened, the System activated again, connecting their minds.
...----------------...
‘Balance protocol active. Emotional link stabilizing.’
...----------------...
Sam (half-asleep): “Huh? Who’s there?”
Daniel (smirking softly): “Enjoying my mansion, little human?”
Sam: “You! Wait—Daniel?! How can we talk?”
Daniel: “Through the system. Seems our lives are tied now.”
Sam: “Then… maybe you can teach me how to walk in royal shoes.”
Daniel: “And you’ll teach me how to act like a lazy teenager?”
Sam grinned. “Deal.”
Their laughter echoed — one in a castle, one in a tiny room — both smiling at the strange fate that connected them.
