I just want to be a good villain.

The story starts with ten world wills simultaneously approaching me to play the role of the antagonist... I thought being the antagonist would be simple, just follow the plot and receive rewards for achieving small goals. I could go home, buy a pig farm, a few houses, and several cars... But little did I know, there is no room for two tigers on one mountain. The protagonist, this arrogant and domineering being, wouldn't tolerate another in their world. Crooked-mouthed war gods, the Dragon King's unwanted son-in-law—how is it that you two started fighting again as soon as I left for a moment?! Entertainment superstar, plagiarizing saint—each taking half of the five thousand years from top to bottom, is it not enough for you two to plagiarize? Why insist on having it all to yourself? And inciting fans to riot offline, what are you trying to do? Start a world war? I'm the antagonist, why do you rely on me every day to put out fires and mediate disputes? And you, why do you relentlessly pester me when you can be the destined female lead? Antagonists are coarse, unlike protagonists who understand emotions and love. I only know how to use money to show compassion—I don't want to and won't know how to sweet talk, I just want to go home and experience university life! This site reminds: w
