This is a story about a villain's desperate struggle for survival, on their own villainous terms.

The popular isekai academy RPG, "Vice Story."

Its antagonist—Loafus, the "Shadow Wolf," one of the Four Heavenly Kings serving the Demon King and a wielder of dark magic.

In the second chapter of the game's story, after wreaking a fair amount of havoc with his dark magic, he is unceremoniously defeated by the protagonist's party... such was the scenario.

However, three years before the story begins, Loafus—prior to becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings—had a dream. He saw the entire game's storyline and his own brutal demise.

“...No. No, no, no, no! This cannot be. For *me* to die such a disgraceful death. That alone must be prevented.”

“If that nightmare is a reality that could come to pass, I will crush it with my entire being.”

This is a story about Loafus, bearing the name "Shadow Wolf"—a Heavenly King who is an unremarkable enemy in the original work—as he aims to rewrite the original story for his own survival.

And the gears of the story slowly begin to spin out of control.
