SSS-Class Villain System
My Life as a Villain
My name’s Ashen Ashborne. My story didn’t begin with prophecy or royalty—it began with a bloody nose and a locked-down life. My father tried to shield me from cultivation, from power, from danger. All he did was make me run.
That run took me to an ancient ruin… to a monkey named Pip… and to a black stone etched with a single word: VOID.
Touching that stone shattered my world and cast me into the Realm Between Stars. There, the ancient being Orion Vael gave me the Aetherium Core and the Starfall Codex, gifting me the means to reshape fate. But I was broken—literally. My soul had been sealed by my father to hide a devil half I never knew existed.
Ten years. That’s how long I spent in that world tearing the seal apart and discovering the truth: my mother, Selene, sacrificed herself to save me, and my father cut my soul to keep me hidden.
When I returned to the real world, vengeance burned in me.
I joined the Sword Character Immortal Palace, passed the tests in dramatic fashion, and met the people who’d become my found family—Jude, Varric, and Isolde Virelle, the girl who made the sky feel small.
For twenty years, we trained to enter the Land of Origin, the heart of all secrets.
We made it.
We fought.
I killed the man who took my mother.
But the Land of Origin was a lie.
My sworn brother, Lucien Dorne, betrayed us all. He was the secret master of the Blood Divine Sect and took everything—Isolde included—before vanishing into the void.
I followed. I fell.
I was rescued by Elder Morn, who revealed the final truth: Lucien had rewritten history. My family weren’t villains… they were saviors.
To fix what was broken, I chose to fall again—into Pangu, a new world, a new life, and a sealed soul.
There, I lived two lives: a simple “Dumb Kid” by day, a hidden cultivator by night. I traveled 5,000 years into the past, destroyed an evil sect, trained for 180 years in solitude, and returned with mastery over my body and blade.
Now I’ve regained everything.
But I’m not done.
I will find Isolde.
I will build a body for the soul born from my false life.
And I will hunt Lucien Dorne until the worlds tremble at his name.
