Chapter 1: My early retirement...
I have always considered myself to be more realistic than others. I grew up in a small and impoverished part of Mexico before immigrating to the U.S. I was born with a dirt spoon, a spoon so dirty it was practically made of dirt. However, I've never felt that anything was unfair in my life. Even when we were living like rats in a sewer, my parents and siblings remained consistently positive. I was able to grow into a successful woman because of them; their presence had a profound impact on my life. Without them, I wouldn't have become who I am today. My children never met my parents, but ever since they were young, I've told them stories about them, and I made sure to teach them the same that my parents taught me. My family has become incredibly close over the years, having gone through so much together, and the younger generations haven't forgotten our past. I've never felt as successful as I do now. I've lived my life to the best of my ability and have accomplished everything I could.
Yet, I still felt as though something was missing. No matter what I did, I've always felt an emptiness in my heart. I should be the happiest person on Earth, yet there is something within me that is incomplete. Something that just couldn't have been accomplished, Earth, something that I didn't think I'd ever be able to experience. Or so I thought.

October 2nd, 2025: in other words, my retirement date. Or what should have been my retirement date? I'm currently standing in front of a school gate, but not just any school... It's 'The Peak High School,' a prestigious institution located in the capital of Euria, 'Magician's Peak,' a place where a diverse group of magicians reside.
However, here's the problem. This is all from 'The Villainous Reincarnation,' a popular book series from the 80s. I've found myself in such an insane situation that I resorted to narrating my life to a fictional audience in my head. Not only that, but I've also found that my mind has gone back to how it was when I was a teenager, which adds to this insane predicament I find myself in. The more I think about my situation and stress it, the more my memory blurs. Stressing too much could cause me to forget essential parts of the story, so for now, I've just forced myself to accept my situation (at least for now).

Before I started narrating and before I came here, I was on my way back from getting my retirement proposal accepted. All of a sudden, I got into a car accident, and when I opened my eyes, I was standing in front of the academy. I was able to make myself comfortable with my surroundings after acting like a deranged lunatic for a couple of hours. The world I'm in has modern technology, so getting used to my environment was easy with my phone. I was able to determine the current setting; this is a few days before the academy entrance exam starts, but it's also when the story begins. This leads me to my next problem: I've been assigned a background villain —a snotty and spoiled rich kid from an unknown noble family. I'm one of the characters who gets expelled in the first part of the series. Not only that, but my whole character revolves around being an "elegant" and "proper" noble, which is something I'm not used to at all. But no matter what I do or say, it comes out formal and proper, which surprised me at first, but in my mind, everything I say is normal.
After sitting down on a bench and contemplating my thoughts for a while, I gathered the courage to approach someone and ask them a question. But because of the character I possessed, they always end up ignoring me or scurrying off in fear. In a world of fantasy, there are bound to be unique races and stuff, and the girl I somehow became, Paloma Barrera-Castenallos, just so happens to be one of the feared races: demi-humans, a race between demons and humans. Even though the war between Humans and Demons ended years ago, they still aren't necessarily welcomed but tolerated. A demi-human is a little more tolerable, but overall, they still have some demon blood, so people will always fear them. It wasn't something talked a lot about in the first half of the series, so I guess I forgot this character had demon blood in them. Even if it's succubus blood, it's still some demon.
I just wanted to retire.
