But, on second thought…
Do I really have to be a villain?
Have you ever seen a novel where the villains end up well?
Is this system… trying to get me killed? This is too much!
"System, are you sure… you're not trying to kill me?" Ye Yun asked, his voice trembling slightly, a hint of desperation creeping into his words.
[...]
After a moment of silence, the mechanical sound echoed in his mind again, cold and relentless.
[Master, the system's name is Villain System. It can help the master become a ruthless and unscrupulous villain.]
[The master will encounter countless Sons or Daughters of Luck who possess the power of fortune along the way. The system will assist the host in seizing their luck.]
The system's voice sounded almost solemn, as if it were reciting an inevitable fate, a sentence that couldn't be avoided.
[Since the heavens want the master to be their stepping stone, then go against the heavens, crush these lucky individuals, and let them become the master's stepping stones!]
[By suppressing these Sons of Luck and reducing their fortune, the master can earn Villain Points.]
[Villain Points can be used to exchange for Luck Points or can be spent in the system's lottery. The lottery contains various items from across the universe and can even be used to directly exchange for cultivation.]
[When the Luck Value of a Son of Luck falls to a certain level, the host may choose to kill the Son of Luck and obtain the Villain's Treasure Chest.]
[The Villain's Treasure Chest can contain all sorts of treasures from across the universe. When the Villain Value reaches a certain number, the Villain System will activate an upgrade.]
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun felt his stomach churn.
The magnitude of what the system was asking of him was overwhelming, a burden that pushed him toward a path with no return.
Indeed, it was a Villain System, and it actually wanted him to steal luck from the Sons of Luck, and even kill them in the end.
Becoming a villain is really hard work!
But he also knew he didn't have a choice.
Due to his unparalleled background, the previous Ye Yun had done some unethical things.
He was already a complete villain.
Even if his future achievements in cultivation were not low, those destined sons of fortune would definitely trample on him and use him as their stepping stone.
But no! He, Ye Yun, didn't want to become a stepping stone for others!
Since you want me to be a villain, then I'll be a great villain! I'll be the ultimate villain!
I'll crush those destined ones and make them my stepping stones!
In that moment, he also solidified his goal. His hands clenched into fists as a cold determination settled in his heart.
Even if I suddenly traveled to this cultivation world and became a villain, then I'll simply accept it.
But there's nothing wrong with being a villain. With such a grand background and the system, there's no way I can't compare with those lucky guys.
You can do whatever you want, which is much more comfortable than those protagonists who are bound by various restrictions and hypocritical morals.
After calmly accepting his current identity, he suddenly remembered something.
According to the novels and system fanfics, there's usually a beginner's gift package when the system is activated.
So he asked directly.
"System, is there a newbie gift package? Isn't that something that's usually given when the system is activated?"
[...]
[Master, there is indeed a beginner's gift package in the system's space provided by the system. Please check it.]
In Ye Yun's mind, the method to access the system space automatically surfaced.
As long as he imagined the system space in his mind, the entire system space would be visible only to him.
But he couldn't wait to open the beginner's gift package.
"Open the newbie gift package!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling with anticipation.
When the beginner's gift package was opened, suddenly a light shone before Ye Yun's eyes.
Golden rays of light emanated from the package, followed by a surge of black energy.
This kind of black energy gave off a very sinister feeling, one that would make anyone shiver a little.
Immediately after, he saw a pair of completely dark eyes. When he met these pupils, he quickly shut his own.
At that moment, the system's voice rang out again.
[Ding! You successfully opened the beginner's gift package. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Supreme Demon Eyes, Ancient Demon Scripture, and Villain Value x2000.]
The pair of dark eyes he had seen a moment ago were probably the Supreme Demon Eyes mentioned by the system.
I can only say that they are worthy of carrying the word "supreme" in their name, and just looking at them will fill you with fear.
And Ye Yun was a bit speechless about the other reward, which was the Ancient Demon Scripture.
Great!
These two things are completely tied to the demonic path.
Unexpectedly, I received them all directly in the beginner's gift package.
Just by hearing the name, you can tell it's very powerful, but I don't know if I should say I was very lucky or very unlucky.
Because in the Immortal Realm, people are very sensitive to the word "demon."
As long as everyone in the Immortal Realm knows about the existence of demons or anything related, they will definitely eliminate it, no matter what the other party's identity is.
Ye Yun now obtained two things related to demons, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
"System, are you messing with me? Or are you specifically trying to punish me? Can you get rid of all these demonic things? If someone finds out, I'll be dead," he complained weakly, his voice reflecting a growing sense of helplessness.
[...]
After a moment of silence, the system responded, its mechanical tone devoid of emotion.
[Master, rest assured that the system can help you conceal any demonic aura.]
[As long as the host doesn't intentionally expose it, it's impossible to be discovered, even if someone in the Great Emperor Realm scans you.]
With the system's explanation, Ye Yun finally felt relieved, letting out a deep sigh, and he no longer had to worry about being exposed.
At the same time, he was eager to praise the system for its functions!
It's capable of evading the sight of someone in the Great Emperor Realm. Indeed, it's worthy of being called the Great Villain System.
What is a villain?
Only those who plan everything in secret and easily control the sons of fortune can be called great villains.
"Withdraw rewards!"
Ye Yun couldn't help it, he couldn't wait to test the power of these Demon Eyes.
[The reward has been distributed, please check it, Master.]
As soon as the synthesized mechanical sound fell, Ye Yun suddenly felt waves of discomfort coming from his eyes.
It felt as if something was doing its best to bore into his mind. This feeling made his scalp tingle.
At the same time, he sensed a vast amount of runes, cultivation methods, and other things flooding into his mind.
There's no doubt that this must be the Ancient Demon Scripture.
That's right, it's the demonic cultivation method, which is very dominant.
However, the Ancient Demon Scripture originates from the ancient demonic cultivation methods.
Therefore, they are completely different from the current demonic cultivation methods. They don't always need to use blood or souls to aid them in cultivation and advancing through realms.
This gave him some relief, at least he wouldn't have to take such risks to avoid being discovered.
But the pressure of keeping his identity hidden still weighed heavily on his mind.
The discomfort in his eyes finally subsided, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The pair of eyes, now as dark as ink and exuding a cold aura, seemed to have been sculpted from the very essence of darkness.
