Lout of Count's Family (Novel) Vol. 10

Kim Roksu wakes up to a nightmare: he is trapped in the body of Cale Henituse, a minor villain in a fantasy novel destined for a brutal beating at the hands of the story’s protagonist. Armed with nothing but his knowledge of the plot and an ironclad desire to live a life of peaceful, wine-soaked luxury, Cale sets out to sabotage his own narrative arc. He intends to avoid the hero’s path entirely, hoping to fade into the background and enjoy the comforts of his station.

However, Cale’s plans for a quiet existence are constantly thwarted by his own competence. His efforts to secure a safe future force him to accumulate power and influence, inadvertently drawing a band of extraordinary companions into his orbit. From a volatile baby dragon to a pair of mysterious, shapeshifting kittens, Cale finds himself the reluctant guardian of a growing, eclectic family.

As he maneuvers through political schemes and looming supernatural threats, the man who wants to do nothing finds himself at the center of everything. In this high-stakes game of survival, Cale learns that escaping destiny is far more dangerous—and complicated—than simply embracing it.
