At first, there was only darkness. It was not the comforting darkness of night, but a suffocating void that pressed against Jacob's mind, drowning him in stillness. His thoughts drifted between moments of clarity and sleep, as if time itself had ceased to exist.
Suddenly, a wrenching pull tore through him, dragging him from the abyss. A blinding light seared his vision, accompanied by deafening cries and hurried voices. He struggled to understand what was happening.
He tried to speak, but his mouth refused to obey. His limbs felt weak, unresponsive. Panic surged within him as he realized something was terribly wrong.
"Push, Princess! The child is almost here!" a voice shouted, frantic yet reverent.
A sharp cry pierced the air, and Jacob's world spun. He felt himself lifted, his body wrapped in something soft. His eyes fluttered open, and for the first time, he saw.
The room was grand, filled with golden light reflecting off intricate carvings of runes that adorned the walls. Towering figures surrounded him, their robes shimmering with a strange, radiant energy.
"What shall we name him?" a woman's voice said, gentle and melodic.
The speaker leaned closer, and Jacob—looked upon the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her features were regal, her golden eyes filled with warmth. Yet beneath her tender expression, he detected the faintest trace of ambition.
"Loras," she whispered, her voice trembling with pride. "My son, Loras Doom."
The name struck a chord deep within him. Loras Doom. The name was familiar, pulling at a distant memory.
---
As the seconds passed, Loras remember something he was readed it in a novel befofore , and he pieced together fragments of his new reality. His mother, Alara, was the wife of Gwang Doom, head of the legendary Doom (Hēiyī clan) family. The Hēiyī family ruled vast swathes of the Divine World, their name synonymous with power and fear. Servants and guards alike spoke in hushed tones of the family's unmatched strength.
It wasn't long before the system spoke to him for the first time.
[System Activation: Absolute Evil System Online.]
The voice was monotone yet filled with authority.
[Welcome, Host.]
[Designation: Loras Doom.]
[Mission: Defy the fates, dominate the world, and break the sons of fortune. Your actions will determine your rise.]
As the system's words sank in, memories of his past life came flooding back. Jacob Philop—the manipulative billionaire, the shadow emperor of Earth—had been reborn in the world of "Heaven's Ascent Chronicles."
It all made sense now. He was Loras Doom, the arrogant young master destined to die at the hands of a protagonist blessed with impossible luck.
But this time, things would be different. I won't play the part of a stepping stone. I'll crush them all.
Because of thinking a lot, Lauras felt sleepy. This is a lot of mental pressure on a child who has just been born.

One night, as Loras lay in his crib, the system chimed again.
[Bloodline Unlocked: Void God Bloodline (Stage 1).]
[Physique Granted: Void Emperor Physique (Stage 1).]
A surge of energy coursed through his tiny body. His veins burned with newfound power, and his vision blurred as ancient knowledge seeped into his mind.
The Void God Bloodline gave him an unparalleled connection to the chaotic forces of destruction, while the Void Emperor Physique enhanced his strength and durability to monstrous levels.
But the mental strain was too much. Loras's eyelids grew heavy, and darkness claimed him once more.
---
When he woke, the system was waiting.
[Host, you are destined to be the villain of this world. Your purpose is to defy fate and destroy the sons of fortune.]
[Earn Evil Points through acts of cruelty and domination. Sons of fortune yield greater rewards when broken.]
[Use these points to grow stronger, purchase treasures, and unlock hidden abilities.]
Loras's infant lips curled into a smile. The system's cold logic resonated with his own worldview.
"So," he whispered, his voice barely audible, "the heavens want me to fail. Let's see how they like it when I rip their precious pawns apart."
The system continued.
[Note: Many sons of fortune exist, each with unique powers and luck. Break their allies, steal their opportunities, Play with their loved ones and break them with them ,and exploit their weaknesses]
Loras nodded, a plan already forming in his mind. Knowledge is power. I need to know everything about this world, its factions, and its rules.
---
Between the ages of one and two, Loras spent his days observing and learning. His mother often carried him to meetings with the Doom family's elders, where he listened intently to discussions about cultivation resources, rival clans, and politics.
But when left alone, his true nature emerged. Servants whispered about the young master's unnerving stare and eerie silence. Once, a maid accidentally spilled water near his crib. Loras's piercing gaze froze her in place, and her trembling apology only amused him.
Pathetic, he thought. Even without power, they fear me.
The system rewarded him with a small notification:
[+10 Evil Points: Induced fear in an inferior.]
Loras's experiments grew bolder. He tripped other children, manipulated the servants, and caused small accidents, always watching as the system rewarded his actions.

[Scene 6: The First Step into Cultivation]
On his second birthday, the system made a monumental announcement.
[Milestone Reached: Host is now eligible to begin cultivation.]
[Technique Unlocked: World Concealment Technique. Allows Host to hide cultivation from divine senses and celestial scrutiny.]
Excitement coursed through Loras. This was the moment he had been waiting for. He sneaked into his nursery's hidden chamber, a place he had discovered during his explorations.
Sitting cross-legged, he closed his eyes and focused. The energy of the Divine World was thick and vibrant, a palpable force that surrounded him. He visualized the teachings from the novels he had read, guiding the qi into his body.
The first tendrils of energy entered his meridians, sending a shockwave through his system. His body hummed with newfound vitality, the Void Emperor Physique greedily absorbing every drop.
When he opened his eyes, the system chimed:
[+50 Evil Points: Entered Qi Refining (Startup).]
Loras smirked. This is only the beginning.
As he stood, the concealment technique activated automatically, masking his cultivation. His family would see only a normal child, but in truth, he was already far beyond them.
I will use this family, this world, and everything in it to rise. No one will stop me.
