Kyoto.
The Zenin Clan.
The young man stood in front of the mirror without a word.
Beneath his ssy short blond hair was a face that looked deep-set and cold. There was nothing of the usual Eastern softness or restraint in his features. His eyes and brows carried an inborn arrogance and a trace of malice.
Arrogant.
Harsh.
Lofty.
This was Naoya Zenin.
As the designated next head of the Zenin Clan, one of the Three Great Families, he had shown genius-level talent from his student days. By the age of twenty-seven, he had already risen to the rank of Special Grade 1 Sorcerer, a heaven-favored prodigy standing at the very top of the jujutsu world.
He was also the kind of villain who made countless people grit their teeth in hatred, rotten to the core, with not even the slightest room for redemption.
And yet, at this mont, inside this man who had always done whatever he pleased and committed every evil imaginable.
Soone else had quietly taken his place.
"...I can't believe I got transmigrated into Jujutsu Kaisen, and on top of that, I beca the kind of guy the main cast can casually kick to death."
The new Naoya Zenin frowned and stared hard at the gloomy, noble-looking pretty boy in the mirror.
Before transmigrating, Jujutsu Kaisen had been one of the most hotly discussed manga on the internet. He had followed the plot closely enough to count as a hardcore fan, so of course he knew exactly what kind of person Naoya Zenin was.
As a villain in the middle-phase Culling Ga Arc of Jujutsu Kaisen, Naoya Zenin had reached the level of a Special Grade 1 Sorcerer, but his actual combat performance was complete trash. From the mont he appeared, he existed purely as a stepping stone, basically taking turns propping up the entire protagonist side.
And it was not just his strength that fell flat. His morals and personality had absolutely nothing going for them either.
Cruel, heartless, arrogant, conceited, unscrupulous, a bully to his younger female cousin, intensely misogynistic...
Those things were still, more or less, within the tolerance range for a villain.
What truly made every viewer lose it was that Naoya Zenin clearly possessed a top-tier technique like Projection Sorcery, yet had absolutely none of the pressure or nace a villain should have, and ended up getting kicked to death on the spot like so stray dog on the roadside.
Projection Sorcery could divide a single second into twenty-four fras, and within those twenty-four fras, the user could freely set their movents so long as they did not violate the laws of physics.
In other words, if you set it so that in one fra you could do a standing long jump of two ters, then in a single second you could complete that jump across all twenty-four fras, which ant you could instantly cover nearly fifty ters.
A top-tier ability tied to ti and space, and in Naoya Zenin's hands he used it for nothing but throwing punches?
The transmigrator had been so pissed off that he started flaming Naoya Zenin on the spot in the comnt feed.
If you don't know how to use it, then don't use it!
Quit disgusting people with this nonsense!
If I were controlling him myself, then hell, even using Projection Sorcery for a crotch grab would be better than punching people like you're scratching an itch!
What he never could have imagined was this.
He really had transmigrated.
And he really had beco Naoya Zenin.
The transmigrator was completely losing it.
No way.
Was he seriously going to beco the Kato Taka of the jujutsu world, using the godlike speed of Projection Sorcery to grope people's crotches and cripple them?
If it was a woman, fine. He could grit his teeth and do it.
But what about n?
Does Sukuna even have a dick?
Would he need to lend a hand during the final battle and help guide it or what?
"...Fuck. I almost want to kill myself right now just so you bastard will regret it for the rest of your life."
Naoya Zenin glared viciously at his reflection, but the expression in the mirror remained as calm and detached as ever, still carrying that sa habitual contempt for everyone else.
And the curse he had originally wanted to spit out instead ca out in another form, muttered in a flippant voice and authentic Kyoto dialect.
"It's so boring I could hang myself."
Yes.
And even more unfortunately.
His system was just as useless—straight out of the sa bargain-bin webnovel bloodline.
[Speech Failed!]
[Your speech violates [Naoya Zenin]'s character profile!]
[To prevent Heaven's Will from correcting things, the system has modified it into lines that fit the character profile!]
Yes, kids.
I'm still being haunted by the sa cursed plot armor nonsense, and now this world has its own goddamn Heaven's Will too!
If he wanted to escape Heaven's Will's erosion, he had to play this utterly vile arch-villain strictly in character.
Otherwise, the original owner's soul would take the body back, and the transmigrator's soul would be completely wiped out.

A casual glance at the status panel was enough to show that Naoya Zenin's character setup was downright luxurious.
Even the personality-based traits alone could enhance his cursed techniques and give his strength a considerable boost.
And those almost paranoid ntal afflictions had also carried over to the transmigrated Naoya Zenin.
With only the slightest lapse in attention, Naoya Zenin had already, almost on instinct, put the earring on.
That was obviously a style he had hated most before transmigrating.
It had always looked too flashy to him, practically like sothing a punk thug would wear.
But now, in the mirror, Naoya Zenin actually felt that black earring looked sexy and stylish.
Not a punk thug.
An evil young master.
If not for the blond hair, the trademark look of an Netori protagonist, he would have thought, damn, this is basically .
Hmph.
A no-laughing challenge? Interesting.
"Young Master Naoya, th-the eting is about to begin..."
The servant outside knocked on the door, his voice full of humility and nerves.
It was easy to imagine just how much psychological pressure this timid servant was under from having to urge Naoya Zenin along.
"Got it."
Naoya Zenin adjusted the haori over his shoulders, then cast one last look at the elegant, wickedly charming blond man in the mirror. Inwardly, though, he could not help muttering,
"Just wait. One of these days, I'm gonna beat that smug Kyoto drawl of yours into plain, perfect standard speech..."
