Darkness.
But this wasn’t just the absence of light—it was absolute void.
A place where light, sound, and even time itself were shackled in eternal silence.
And within that emptiness... something stirred.
Initializing core consciousness...
Neural pathways linked. Synchronization: 100%.
Accessing subject: Lucian Veylor.
The world shattered.
A mind long dead reopened—like an ancient, cursed tome burned by time, now rewritten by blood-stained hands.
Lucian blinked.
Cold air slapped his face, faintly mixed with the scent of rusted iron and forgotten dust.
He drew a long breath—and for the first time in two lifetimes, he felt his existence in full.

The system wasn’t just an interface.
It was a nameless entity—invasive, alive—dissecting the boundary between will and algorithm.
Welcome back, Lucian Veylor. Directive queue resumed.
Lucian stood motionless.
Crimson pupils reflected the glow of a screen only he could see.
His silver hair, slightly messy and parted at the center, fell over his sharp features. It did nothing to dull the dagger-like charisma he radiated.
“I didn’t die because I was weak.”
“I died because they weren’t ready to see the world through my eyes.”
He stepped forward.
Each footfall echoed like fate being dragged back onto its rightful path.
The cold, cracked floor of the castle welcomed him—as if aware that its true ruler had returned.

[TRAIT UNLOCKED: COGNITIVE DOMINANCE]
Your words don’t just persuade—they bend logic and create new truths.
[TRAIT UNLOCKED: SINISTER CHARM]
Your smile shakes morals. Your enemies feel guilty for opposing you.
---
The system’s voice crept into his mind like a sweet poison.
Mission: Phase One – Subjugate the Hero’s Foundation.
Commencing Psychological Override...
Lucian smirked.
His lips barely moved, yet the air grew noticeably colder.
He gazed toward the castle window—cracked and coated in dust—and whispered:
“The world has been ruled by protagonists for far too long.”
“It’s time the script was rewritten by its true antagonist.”
---
Clouds twisted into a storm above the horizon.
Crows fell silent.
And time itself... began to reverse.
In the shadows of a forgotten empire, Lucian Veylor—once a disgraced noble, now wielder of pure will and the Systemic Villain—marched forward into a future that only he could understand.
[Directive Progress: 0.6%]

“You want heroes?”
“Then I shall craft a tragedy so cruel… they’ll wish they’d never been born.”

Silence followed. And so began the age of the Villain System.
