Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 — The Dark Lord Reborn

Darkness.

That was the first thing I knew.

A void without shape, without time, without breath. Then—words burned themselves into existence across my mind like molten steel.

SYSTEM INITIALIZING…

Reincarnation complete.

Destination: World — Harry Potter

Two banners appeared before me, flickering like spectral flames.

① The Human KingdomAllies: Men of GondorPath: Honor, Light, Defense

② MordorAllies: Orcs, NazgûlPath: Power, Domination, Sorcery

I didn't hesitate. Who would choose a life of mediocrity when magic and dominion beckoned?

I reached toward the sigil of the Eye.

Choice Confirmed: MORDORStatus: Lord of Mordor — Temporary Authority Granted

Light exploded.

A heartbeat later, I was gasping—alive—on solid earth.

Cold moonlight washed over me. I lay on a small grassy hill, surrounded by the distant glow of lanterns from a village I vaguely recognized from childhood readings. England. But not just any England. Magic thrummed faintly through the air, like a heartbeat beneath the soil.

The Harry Potter world. Real.

Another surge of system messages flashed.

My heart pounded. I understood instantly—Maiar. Not human. Not wizard. Something older. A divine being shaped by power itself.

I rose slowly, testing this new form. Slim but strong. My senses sharper, deeper. I could feel magic in the grass, in the night breeze, in every breath.

Then another notification:

A quiet laugh escaped me.I wasn't just reborn.

I was here to conquer.

But first… a base. Something small that could one day grow into mountains of iron and fire.

Before I could choose, the wind shifted—and I heard it. In the nearby forest, a group of teenagers whispering, wands hidden under their cloaks. Their voices carried clearly.

"…Hogsmeade is just ahead. Hurry, we don't want Filch noticing we're gone!"

Hogsmeade.That meant Hogwarts was close.That meant Dumbledore… Harry… and Voldemort.

Three powers that ruled this world.And soon, a fourth.

I clenched my fist. Flame flared inside my veins—shadowy, ancient—a fragment of Sauron's essence awakening.

New Objective:

Establish your first Dark Fortress.Begin corruption of the Wizarding World.

I smiled—dark, hungry.

"Middle-earth may have fallen," I whispered to the night, "but Mordor shall rise again… here."

Thunder rumbled above as if the sky itself trembled at the promise.

And deep within the earth… something answered.
