Prologue

I became an evil Overlord of tyranny by a random chance, and now I have to maintain this pathetic facade to make everyone believe that I am the supreme Overlord to all.

Honestly, I am just a lowly mage wishing to lead a normal life, and this pretentious life is beginning to wear me down physically and emotionally. I am just a cowardly mage of lower status and rank, who is pretending to have supernatural powers that can destroy kingdoms to ashes within a blink of an eye.

Living as fraud is tiring. One mistake is all it takes for someone to figure out that I have no true strength and my status as an evil Overlord of immense power is nothing but a sham. I dread the day that I will get exposed to the world that I am nothing but a sheep in a lion's hide.

Honestly, I want to quit pretending and live freely, but in this short time as an Evil Overlord, I have made more enemies than allies. If I can confess my true strength now, and stop this life of Overlord impersonation, I will get killed instantly before I can even conclude with my confession. I'm literally surrounded by powerful people who were tricked into submission by my lowly tricks. If they can realize that they were deceived, they will show no mercy.

From being a poor mage who avenged the death of my beloved ones, I ended up being mistaken as a true dictator who has to be obeyed even by kings.
