Seven Seas Licenses Reborn as an Aristocratic Scoundrel, I Broke the Game and Mastered Magic Beyond Limits! Manga and Light Novel Series

(November 12, 2025) — Seven Seas Entertainment is thrilled to announce the license acquisition of the light novel and manga series Reborn as an Aristocratic Scoundrel, I Broke the Game and Mastered Magic Beyond Limits! by Kaisei Kikuchi, Dōma Oda, and Rein Kuwashima. In this action-packed isekai, one gamer finds himself reincarnated in his favorite academy game—but as the villain! Can he change the game and avoid complete ruin?

I don't know how it happened, but somehow I've died and reincarnated into my favorite academy game. And if that wasn't weird enough, I'm now the depraved and lazy villain, Weiss Fansent, whose misdeeds lead him to a deadly end. Something I'm determined to avoid at all costs. With little time left until the academy's entrance exams, I have no choice but to dive headfirst into serious and grueling training. Which means swordsmanship with the S-rank adventurer Miruku Abitas, followed by intense magic practice. It was demanding and exhausting, but getting stronger means I have a better chance of avoiding my disastrous end. 

But I seriously underestimated just how powerful Weiss truly is, and I wind up stunning everyone at the exams! Have I somehow become more powerful than the hero?

A fantasy series about changing the villain's fate with hard work and amazing powers!
