[AWAKENING TALENTS ] [ NEXT MONSTER WAVE - 19 DAYS LEFT ] While survivors scramble, Nyx, a detached and cunning college student, sees this as the perfect opportunity to rise, he realizes this broken world is his playground. [ HOST HAS AWAKENED TALENT TIER: Z ] [ GENERATE ] [ HOST HAS RECEIVED 'GENERATED SKILL' ] [ HOST HAS RECEIVED SKILL TIER: SS ] [ COMMAND ] With infinite resources at his disposal and a mind honed for manipulation, Nyx begins his ascent—ready to bend the apocalyptic world to his will behind the scene. The Villain Has Infinite Resources at World End centers on Nyx Valmeister, a brilliant and ruthless anti-hero who rises to power in a world thrown into chaos by monstrous invasions and a mysterious Tower. Nyx, a sociopath who awakens a system with the power to generate skills, weapons, and resources at will, views the apocalypse as an opportunity rather than a tragedy. Armed with his talent and cold logic, he systematically eliminates threats, manipulates survivors, and builds an empire on the ruins of society. Unlike typical heroes, Nyx is driven purely by self-interest and power. He has no qualms about sacrificing others for his goals, seeing people as pawns or useful assets—nothing more. His ability to combine skills and equipment into more potent forms gives him an edge over other survivors, and his strategic mind allows him to exploit every advantage.

Seeing this, Luna started looking at Benjamin in surprise, then Benjamin opened the lock of the door. When Luna saw the door open, she immediately got away from Benjamin and went out of the room.
