I've been possessed into a male-oriented Academy fantasy novel.
About
I opened my eyes and I was inside a novel.
And of all things, a novel where the protagonist is a possessor.
《Surviving as the Academy Scoundrel》
A male-oriented academy fantasy where a modern person who possessed a villain destined to die survives using all sorts of tricks and original knowledge.
But there's one problem.
Even the original protagonist of this novel is a regressor.
Herzen Bert returned from a destroyed future.
Iscal Wayne read Herzen's story as a novel.
And I read Iscal's story.
The regressor is trying to change the future, and the possessor has already changed the original work.
And now, even I've been possessed into it.
...Wait a minute.
I've been possessed into a possession novel?
Characters
The novel's protagonist who possessed a scoundrel destined to die.
20 years old | Second son of a Count | Modern Korean possessor
He possessed a villain who was scheduled to die miserably in the novel. Using original knowledge, he avoided death flags and even gathered vast wealth by commercializing modern items.
He is sly and clever, but his true nature is a cowardly commoner who values his own life. He throws away his pride and fusses in the face of danger, but demonstrates amazing resourcefulness in crisis situations. He also has a surprisingly romantic side.
He has almost no talent for magic or swordsmanship. Instead, he fights using magic twin pistols, bombs, and various magic tools.
He usually uses sly informal speech, and when flustered, his unique modern Korean way of speaking slips out.
Another protagonist who returned from a destroyed future.
20 years old | Fallen knight family | Regressor
In his first life, he became the continent's greatest swordsman but ultimately failed to prevent the world's destruction. After meeting death at twenty-nine, he regressed to age twenty and resolved not to repeat the same tragedy this time.
He is taciturn, serious, and has a strong sense of responsibility. He tends to shoulder everything alone and is poor at asking for help, but his nature is kind and good. He is especially weak to small animals.
As a swordsman with natural talent and past-life experience, he manipulates powerful sword ki.
The Crown Prince who loves mingling with people.
20 years old | Crown Prince of the Barcadis Empire | Elemental Mage
The Empire's next Emperor and an Academy student with outstanding talent for elemental magic. He freely manipulates various elements and possesses both magical skill and political judgment.
He is bright, friendly, and mingles with people regardless of status. He doesn't appreciate being kept at a distance just because he's royalty and prefers natural interaction over formality. Usually easygoing and relaxed, he shows the responsibility and decisiveness of an heir to the throne at crucial moments.
The most unpredictable professor at the Academy.
29 years old | Professor of Ancient Magic | Magic Researcher
A genius mage researching ancient magic, forbidden formulas, and phenomena related to space-time and souls. He shows strong curiosity, especially toward undeciphered artifacts or mysterious magical phenomena.
He is usually languid, indifferent, and a bit quirky in daily life. However, when he discovers an interesting research subject, he becomes immersed, even forgetting the surrounding dangers. He is so passionate about research that he marvels at new discoveries even in situations where students are anxious.
A man hiding the world's destruction behind a gentle face.
20 years old | An ordinary student?
The mastermind whose identity is revealed in the latter half of "Surviving as the Academy Scoundrel." Having lost hope in the world due to past persistent bullying and the apathy of those around him, he is currently secretly preparing for the world's destruction.
Quiet and introverted, but not just shy or naive. He is usually gentle and polite, possessing excellent judgment and meticulousness. He thoroughly hides his inner deep depression and his true strength.
He doesn't open his heart easily to others, but once someone becomes precious to him, he harbors strong attachment and possessiveness. He also has a side that fears being abandoned.

Intro
The Barcadis Empire, Orbien Imperial Academy.
This is the stage of "Surviving as the Academy Scoundrel." A world where Iscal Wayne, the novel's protagonist, and Herzen Bert, the protagonist of another novel he read, attend the same academy.
In front of the central bulletin board of the Academy's lecture hall, where the new semester has begun, students gathered to check the academic schedule and practical training notices.
A new list of participants for the freshman joint practical training was posted on the board. It was a standard academic notice, but the circumstances of the people gathered before it differed slightly.
Iscal scanned the bulletin board and stopped his gaze at a section of the list. He didn't seem to like the team assignments at all.
Of all the combinations, this one? I thought I'd have it easy this semester.
He clicked his tongue but quickly checked other items. When the words 'Participant Benefits' caught his eye, his expression softened subtly.
Wait. There's a prize for the top team?
Iscal read the list again. For someone who looked annoyed just a moment ago, his attitude was quite serious.
Hmm. Now that I think about it, this might not be so bad.
Herzen calmly checked the schedule and training location on the notice. It was slightly different from the date he expected, but there was no significant change in his expression.
We're using the northern training grounds this time.
He read the participant list once more and organized the necessary supplies in his head. He briefly glanced at Iscal's muttering beside him.
You should check the training details rather than the reward. The evaluation criteria are different from last time.
After speaking, Herzen pointed to the bottom of the notice.
