"The second way is to be a locksmith who understands the structure of the door's lock — or any lock, really — on a deep level. That way, you can pick it without a key. Sadly, my knowledge of sorcery is not that deep. Which left only the third way… brute force."
"In this world, morality is but a thin line away from depravity, and the most captivating tales are often shrouded behind the veil of insanity."

I was just an ordinary guy, living a dull and unremarkable life as an editor.
But when a maniac author killed me for rejecting his novel in a writing competition, I reopened my eyes in a modern fantasy world.
"Hmm? Wait, this world…."
But fate, being a prude little bitch, played a twisted joke on me.
I reincarnated into the very same novel that I rejected for the competition award, written by the very same author who killed me for it.
Not only that, but I transmigrated into the body of a disowned noble named Lucas Morningstar.
Lucas was a minor antagonist in a novel who served as a stepping stone for the protagonist and their allies.
Arghh….
Of all the people, I just had to be reborn as someone who was despised by the main characters the most at this point in the story?
B-But hey, with my knowledge of the future and understanding of the main characters, I can at least live an easy life!
Right...?
"Yeah, I can work with this!"
Or so I thought until I remembered the ending arcs of the book.
This world is destined for doom!
And not so long after, I started to realize that the novel and the world I transmigrated into might not be as similar as I had originally thought….

AN: MC is NOT a villain, so don't expect one.
*The MC will seem a little bit (ok let's be honest, more than a little bit) foolish in the first 30-35 chaps but don't be fooled.
I ask you to read the first 50 chapters before deciding to trash-talk the MC because that's where his borderline psychopathic strategist personality starts to surface.

Tapestry
Working as a henchman for his childhood crush hasn't been great.
But Sam is a hopeless romantic. Even though she's a failed supervillain, he decided to work with her so that he can at least stay by her side.
Although things began to change when Kiara, his childhood crush, started developing feelings for a particular young man.
Now if it was just any other guy, he would've met with some unfortunate 'accident' already but the guy in question was none other than the son of the strongest superhero himself.
Starboy aka Anthony Willburn, the reason for all their failures up until now; and she decided to fall for THAT guy!?
Sam couldn't accept this absurdity and decided to ruin his love rival's life by embracing his destiny and rising as a supervillain himself.
Set in a distant future where only the chosen few are graced with superpowers, the story will mainly focus on the perspective of our protagonist as he will enroll in an academy of superheroes to get close to his love rival and find his weakness all the while maintaining his life as a supervillain.
Tell us SS is getting adapted like TAPOV (fingers crossed kyaaaa!)
