In the world of cultivation, countless tales follow righteous protagonists, fated heroes blessed by destiny, or those chosen by heaven to walk the path of immortality.But what of those who stand in their way?What of the villains?

I don’t know why I die, I don’t know why I live.

Divided hunters die of loyalty,

The witch who plays with emotions dies of love,

Cautious fortune-tellers die of trust.

The thief who steals everything has nothing,

The visionary who created everything never existed.

The traveler fell on his way home,

The twilight giants rest before dawn.

Lawyers sacrifice for order,

Judges forget the law.

The sleepless sleeps in the dark,

The corpse collector lay in the coffin.

We are guardians, and a bunch of poor creatures who are constantly fighting against danger and madness.

This journey is life and death.

While drowning was inevitable, they had struggled.

This is the worst of times, this is the best of times.

- Description from novelbuddy

“Look Left.”Pierre, a professional cynic and amateur MMA fighter, dies in a hilariously ironic argument with the author of a garbage-tier webnovel. His final complaint? The pathetic hero gets stronger by touching women's chests.As a reward for his “passionate feedback,” a bored god reincarnates him into that very world.Now, trapped in a story he loathes, Pierre is given a gift: a leveling system and a power far darker than the hero's “Boobie Boost.” His is called Essence Drain: a parasitic ability to steal power through physical contact, an intimate violation that feels dangerously good.The hero of this world can have the plot armor and the clichés. Pierre will use his intellect, his brutal new power, and his insider knowledge to hijack the story. His first move? Steal the hero's fated beautiful navigator before they can even meet.They call him a menace. A criminal. A terrorist. Fine. If fighting a world run by corrupt Marines and preening nobles makes him a villain...He'll become the greatest villain the world has ever seen.-----------Additional tags:No Incest, No Rape, No Yuri, Harem, No Loli, One Piece, Transmigration, Pirate, Pirates, Princess, Shonen, No NTR
