Working overtime as usual, I fell asleep for a moment only to wake up as the villain of a novel. “Well, it’s a common cliche. Even the fact that I’ll meet my fate and die. Dammit.” I needed to find a way. How to survive after possessing the villain of a novel.

The original owner of the body’s already caused an accident. “Why don’t I just use money to kill the reincarnate before he regains his power? Are you crazy? Then who’s going to stop the demon king?” Survival of Choi Yu-Seong, the villain who craves to live a leisurely life rather than becoming the strongest. This is the start of his possession +survival, raid fantasy(?)!
