This was not darkness.
It was the original void—where not even the idea of light had ever been born.
And within that nothingness... something moved.

A name returned—and with it, a mind sharpened by death.
Lucian Veylor—once a fallen heir of blood and blades—was now something beyond rebirth.
He opened his eyes.
Cold air met his face. The scent of old blood and cracked stone welcomed him like forgotten royalty returning home.

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's crimson eyes reflected the cold glow of the screen—one only he could see.
His silver-white hair, parted at the center and slightly tousled, framed features sharp enough to cut through kingdoms.
"I didn't die because I was weak."
"The world feared what I saw—because I saw it too clearly."
He stepped forward.
Each step echoed like fate being rewritten. The cracked floor of the castle trembled—not in fear, but recognition.

[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 whispered like venom-coated silk in his mind.
Mission: Phase One – Subjugate the Hero's Foundation.
Commencing Psychological Override...
Lucian smirked.
His lips barely moved, yet the air grew colder—as if reality itself obeyed his presence.
He turned to the cracked, dust-covered window.
"The world has been ruled by protagonists for far too long."
"It's time the script was rewritten by its true antagonist."
---
Above the castle, clouds coiled like serpents.
Crows fell into silence.
And time itself... began to reverse.
In the shadows of a forgotten empire, Lucian Veylor—once a disgraced noble, now Systemic Villain—took his first step into a future only he could see.

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

Silence returned.
And thus began... the age of the Villain System.
