Chapter 1: The Unwanted Transmigration

Eugene Bolton's eyes snapped open, his mind foggy. Where was he? The last thing he remembered was reading his favorite novel, "The Kingdom of Evalon." He was transported into the world of the story, but not as the hero, Lysander, or the heroine, Liliana. No, he was now Eugene Bolton, the villain destined to be killed by Lysander.

Panic set in as he scrambled out of bed, looking around the unfamiliar room. He stumbled upon a mirror and gasped at his reflection. The handsome face staring back was not his own.

"What the...?" Eugene muttered, running a hand through his dark hair.

He remembered the story's plot, the characters, and their personalities. He knew he had to keep a low profile, avoid Lysander and Liliana at all costs, and find a way to survive.

But fate had other plans.

As he left his chambers, he bumped into Lysander himself, who was walking down the corridor with Liliana by his side. Their eyes met, and Eugene felt a jolt of anxiety.

"Ah, Eugene Bolton," Lysander said with a nod. "I see you're up early. Perhaps we can discuss the upcoming ball?"

Eugene forced a smile, trying to appear nonchalant. "Of course, Lysander. I wouldn't miss it for the world."

Liliana's gaze lingered on him, her expression curious. Eugene's heart skipped a beat. He needed to deflect their attention, fast.

"Excuse me, I have matters to attend to," he said, bowing slightly before hurrying away.

As he disappeared into the crowd, he couldn't shake off the feeling that his desperate attempt to fly under the radar had just failed miserably.

author : Let me add a small detail to explain Lysander's presence:

As Eugene left his chambers, he bumped into Lysander, who was walking down the corridor with Liliana by his side. They were on their way to meet Eugene's father, the Duke of Bolton, to discuss a matter of state. Lysander, being the kind and just prince that he was, had taken it upon himself to ensure that Eugene's father was not exploiting his power. He had arrived at the Bolton estate early, hoping to catch the Duke before he began his day.

Eugene, still disoriented from his transmigration, hadn't expected to run into the prince and heroine so soon. He knew that, in the original story, Lysander and Liliana would eventually discover his "evil" deeds and confront him. He needed to keep a low profile and avoid raising their suspicions, but fate seemed to have other plans. Let's wait and see what awaits our ML in the future. Will he be safe or will fate catch up to him? Look forward to it!
