Synopsis
"Projection Sorcery doesn't have to just deal scratch damage!" Transmigrating into Jujutsu Kaisen as Naoya Zenin, I even possessed an invincible physical combat skill capable of throwing 24 crazy elbows in 1 second. Bad news: I'm a villainous boss, an irredeemably evil and arrogant scumbag. Good news: I know the original plot inside out. So, the answer is obvious— "It's simple. I just need to completely whitewash and redeem myself, right?" Maki Zenin awakens her Heavenly Restriction, turns into a mysterious muscle mommy, and slaughters the entire family? Then I'll just join her! "Your biological father is trash, don't mind the gossip! Sister, you must become the freest, most independent woman in the world! Go for it, your big brother will always support you!" Megumi Fushiguro is the true heir to the Zenin clan, and I'm just a substitute? Then I'll just join him! "Megumi, I leave the heavy burden of the clan head to you! Huh? What do you mean you think you're not strong enough? Summon Mahoraga for me right now! I'm going to beat it into a cow to plow the fields for the Zenin clan!" Except, the plot seems to have gone a little bit off the rails... What do you mean, "Without a moment to mourn the death of Satoru Gojo, the one who rushed to the battlefield next is Kyoto's Strongest, Naoya Zenin"?!

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Blonde Delinquent is Actually Me?

The autumn rain in Kyoto always came dreary and biting cold.

Mixed with the gray fog, it made people feel uneasy.

In a room of a Japanese-style mansion, a young man was looking in the mirror without saying a word.

He had messy short blonde hair and deep, wicked facial features. He wasn't as wildly masculine as a European, nor did he have the handsome introversion of an Easterner. He looked more like a mixed-race person caught between the two.

Conceited.

Arrogant.

Mean.

That was Zen'in Naoya.

As the next head of the Zen'in clan, one of the Big Three Sorcerer Families, he showed talent worthy of being called a prodigy during his student days. At only twenty-seven years old, he became one of the few Special Grade 1 Sorcerers in the jujutsu world.

He was also a villainous boss full of evil deeds, making countless readers gnash their teeth in hatred, completely devoid of any redeeming qualities.

At this moment, the inner soul of this wicked favored son of heaven had quietly been replaced.

"...I can't believe I transmigrated into Jujutsu Kaisen and became this damn guy."

The brand new Zen'in Naoya frowned, staring intently at the gloomy, aristocratic, beautiful young master in the mirror.

Jujutsu Kaisen was the most discussed manga on the internet before his transmigration. He was a hardcore fan who knew the plot development inside out. How could he not know who the guy in the mirror, Zen'in Naoya, was?

As a villain in the middle stages of Jujutsu Kaisen during the Culling Game arc, although Zen'in Naoya had reached the rank of a Special Grade 1 Sorcerer, his actual combat performance was pure garbage. From the moment he appeared, he acted as a stepping stone, basically getting beaten up by the entire main cast.

Not only was his strength disappointing, but his morals and character had absolutely no merits.

Cruel, ruthless, arrogant, unscrupulous, bullying his female cousin, and extremely misogynistic...

These were somewhat tolerable for a villainous character.

What completely broke the audience's tolerance was that Zen'in Naoya clearly possessed a top-tier cursed technique like Projection Sorcery, yet he had zero villainous presence and was kicked to death on the spot like a stray dog on the side of the road.

One must know that Projection Sorcery could divide one second into twenty-four frames, and the user could freely set the development of those twenty-four frames without violating the laws of physics.

This meant if you set a standing long jump of two meters in one frame, you could directly complete twenty-four standing long jumps within a single second, effectively teleporting nearly fifty meters!

Such a top-tier mechanism linked to time and space was placed in Zen'in Naoya's hands, yet he only used it to throw punches?

It made this transmigrator so angry that he had posted comments blasting Zen'in Naoya on the spot.

If you don't know how to play, don't play! Don't disgust people here!

If I were the one controlling him, using Projection Sorcery to finger enemies into paralysis would be better than throwing punches that deal zero damage!

Yet, he never expected it.

He actually transmigrated.

He really transmigrated into Zen'in Naoya.

The transmigrator completely lost it.

No way, right?

Am I really going to become the Goldfinger of the jujutsu world, using the divine speed of Projection Sorcery to finger enemies into paralysis?

It's fine for women, I could just endure it and do it.

But what about men?

Does Sukuna even have a dick?

Do I need to help him jerk off during the final battle?

"...Damn it, I really want to kill myself right now just to make you regret this for the rest of your life."

Zen'in Naoya glared fiercely in the mirror, but the expression in the mirror remained calm and breezy, as arrogant as ever.

The curse he originally wanted to say was muttered out in a completely different way, using an elegant Kyoto dialect with a cynical tone:

"How boring. It almost makes me want to hang myself."

What was even more unfortunate.

The trashy system provided by the web novel platform.

[Speech Failed!]

[Your speech violates the character setting of Zen'in Naoya!]

[To prevent correction by Heaven's Will, it has been modified by the system into speech fitting the character setting!]

Damn it.

Even here, there's this damn Heaven's Will chasing after me!

To escape the erosion of Heaven's Will, he had to strictly play the role of this wicked major villain according to the character setting.

Otherwise, the original owner's soul would reclaim the body, and the transmigrator's soul would be completely annihilated.

[Beautiful Youth - Gold Grade]

[As the next generation head of the Zen'in clan, one of the Big Three Sorcerer Families, although you have an incredibly nasty personality, you possess an extremely handsome face and a compelling aristocratic aura.]

[Effect: Charm attribute increases significantly. The Affection of the Nobility faction towards you increases.]

[Mental Mysophobia - Gold Grade]

[Maintaining elegance under heavy pressure, your clothes and hair must be neat and clean. Just witnessing ugly behavior will make you feel contempt and disgust from the bottom of your heart.]

[Effect: Jujutsu accuracy increases significantly. Your casting animations are extremely hard to interrupt.]

[Destined Death Villain - Prismatic Grade]

[Geniuses are always lonely and arrogant. You have absolutely no tolerance for fools, women, and idiots. Your talent-supremacy ideology overflows, making you appear extremely conceited. At the same time, it destines you to welcome the fated death belonging to a villain.]

[Effect: Your alignment is locked to Chaotic Evil. Your mental resistance reaches the pinnacle level. Any form of moral kidnapping cannot affect your actions.]

[...]

Opening the status panel casually, Zen'in Naoya's character settings could simply be described as luxurious.

Just the personality traits alone could boost his jujutsu, giving his strength a decent upgrade.

These almost paranoid mental illnesses were also inherited by Zen'in Naoya after the transmigration.

With just a momentary lapse in consciousness, Zen'in Naoya instinctively put the stud earrings on his ears.

That was clearly the style he hated the most before transmigrating.

Because it always gave people a flashy feeling, almost like a street thug.

But right now, looking in the mirror, Zen'in Naoya actually felt that the pitch-black earrings looked sexy and handsome.

Not a street thug.

A young master of the underworld.

If it weren't for the blonde hair exclusive to an NTR bastard, he would have thought it was absolutely perfect.

Hmph.

The King of Pure Love versus the King of NTR? Interesting.

"Young Master Naoya, the... the meeting is about to begin..."

A servant knocked on the door outside, his tone full of humility and nervousness.

One could imagine that urging Zen'in Naoya was putting immense psychological pressure on this timid servant.

"I know."

Zen'in Naoya tightened the haori on his shoulders, took one last look at the elegant, wicked, and beautiful blonde man in the mirror, but couldn't help muttering in his heart:

"Just wait. Sooner or later, I will turn your pretentious Kyoto dialect into normal speech..."
