Lucifer awoke to the familiar opulence of his childhood bedroom, feeling the rejuvenation of his thirteen-year-old body. The room, adorned with luxurious tapestries and fine furnishings, was as he remembered it. He felt a rush of power and potential coursing through his veins, accompanied by a manic sense of exhilaration.
A hysterical laugh burst from his lips, filling the room with an eerie resonance. The door creaked open, and Emmy, his loyal maid, appeared, concern etched on her face.
"Young master, are you all right?" she asked hesitantly.
Lucifer, composing himself, forced a calm expression. "I'm fine, Emmy. I just need some time alone."
With a relieved nod, Emmy withdrew, leaving Lucifer to his thoughts. He sat on the edge of his bed, attempting to process the miraculous turn of events. His mind buzzed with questions, and it was then that a voice, clear and telepathic, spoke directly into his mind.
**[Welcome, Lucifer Morningstar, to the Fate Devourer System.]**
Lucifer's eyes widened as the System introduced itself, explaining that his revival was the work of the Goddess of Time. The System, a divine blessing, was designed to guide him as he navigated his altered fate.
**[You have been granted a second chance,]** the System continued. **[Your early death was averted, but your fate points have been significantly diminished. To recover them, you must plunder the fortunes of others and seize their opportunities.]**
Lucifer absorbed the information, a sinister smile spreading across his face. "So, I must take what belongs to others to restore my fate points?"
**[Precisely,]** the System confirmed. **[You have two paths before you: one of righteousness, where good deeds restore your fate points, or one of villainy, where you seize power and fortune through any means necessary.]**
Lucifer's smile turned cold. "A path of righteousness? That's laughable. My life has always been marked by hatred and bloodshed. Why should this second chance be any different?"
The System seemed to hesitate. **[The Goddess of Time offers you this opportunity to change, to redeem yourself.]**
"Redemption is for the weak," Lucifer declared, his voice hard. "I will walk the path of a villain. I will take what is mine and ensure that those who wronged me suffer."
**[As you wish,]** the System intoned. **[But know that this path will be fraught with challenges and dangers. Only the strong will prevail.]**
Lucifer's eyes gleamed with determination. "I have been given a gift, and I will use it to its fullest potential. Let the world tremble before the power of Lucifer Morningstar."
The System's description flashed before his eyes:
**[Fate Devourer System:**
* **Alters destiny by turning back time.**
* **Requires plundering others' fortunes to recover fate points.**
* **Offers two paths: good deeds or villainy.**
* **Guides host toward regaining their fate.]**
Lucifer rose from his bed, a dark resolve settling over him. He would reclaim his lost power, seize every opportunity, and ensure that his enemies paid dearly for their transgressions. The fate of the world would be reshaped by his hand, and no one would stand in his way.
"Let the games begin," he whispered to himself, his heart filled with a chilling anticipation.
