Parallel World — Donghai CityMyers Family Villa
"So… I actually became the rich second-generation villain in The Return of the God of War?"
Aaron Myers stood silently before the massive floor-to-ceiling window. Beyond the transparent glass, the Myers family garden looked pristine—lush greenery, a carefully designed fountain, and luxurious villas standing quietly under the morning sun.
It was a breathtaking view.
Yet Aaron had no mood to appreciate it.
His expression appeared calm, but beneath his slightly furrowed brows, his thoughts were in complete chaos.Shock. Confusion. Fear.All tangled together into an indescribable heaviness.
The Return of the God of War.
In his previous life, it was nothing more than a brainless power-fantasy novel he read for entertainment. A story filled with face-slapping scenes, exaggerated dominance, and protagonists who could do no wrong.
Back then, Aaron had enjoyed it.
Now—
He was inside it.
The protagonist of this world, Chu Fan, was an existence bordering on absurd.
The supreme ruler of the foreign underground world.Master of the Nether Palace.Known as His Royal Highness Hades.
Four Great Protectors.Twenty-Eight Constellations of Death.Each one a terrifying monster with blood-soaked hands.
When Chu Fan returned to Donghai City, the balance of the world shattered.
No one could stop him.No one could stand against him.
Arrogant young masters were crushed.Powerful families were wiped out.Beautiful women fell into his arms one after another.
The naïve rich heiress.The gentle girl next door.The cold, iceberg-like female CEO.
Everything followed the same pattern.
In his previous life, Aaron had laughed while reading it.Damn, this is satisfying.
But now—
Aaron Myers was the ultimate villain of that story.
And worse—
He was a villain destined for a horrifying death.
"…What kind of trash writing is this?" Aaron muttered bitterly.
He, the legitimate heir of the Myers family, existed only to elevate Chu Fan.His parents died tragically the moment they appeared, serving as nothing more than plot fuel.
And his own sister—
Ayane Myers.
Beautiful. Innocent.And fatally foolish.
Blinded by love, Ayane helped Chu Fan destroy her own family.She leaked internal secrets.She assisted in seizing the Myers family's century-old fortune.
In the original plot, she even played a role in murdering their own parents.
As for Aaron?
He resisted.Again and again, he schemed against Chu Fan.Again and again, he tried to strike back.
Every attempt failed.
In the end, his battered body—barely clinging to life—was thrown into an industrial crusher by Chu Fan's order.
Aaron remembered that scene clearly.
Bones shattered.Flesh torn apart.Not even ashes remained.
Back then, he had clapped his hands and cheered.
Finally, the villain is dead.
Now, his breathing felt heavy.
"No."
His voice was low, yet resolute.
"I will not die like that."
If he followed the original plot, his fate was already sealed.
Chu Fan was the Son of Destiny—someone who could turn disaster into fortune and misfortune into opportunity.
Even falling off a cliff would probably grant him a legendary inheritance.
His combat strength alone was ridiculous.Catching blades barehanded.Dodging bullets like a game.
And behind him stood the Nether Palace—one command was enough to drown the Myers family in blood.
Slowly, Aaron clenched his fists.
"If heaven wants to destroy me," he said coldly,"then I'll defy heaven itself."
At that moment—
DING!
A mechanical sound echoed inside his mind.
"Detected host's intent to challenge the Son of Destiny.""Villain System activating."
Aaron's heart skipped a beat.
"Ding! Villain System successfully bound to host."
A smile crept onto his lips.
A system.
In a novel world—
that was everything.
"Host is the greatest villain of this world.""Opposing the Son of Destiny, stealing his opportunities, and killing those related to him will grant Villain Points.""No mandatory missions.""Host possesses Villain Aura, ignoring protagonist's fate protection.""After killing the Son of Destiny, host will not suffer heavenly punishment."
Aaron let out a soft laugh.
"Interesting…"
That meant he no longer needed to restrain himself.No need to play nice.No need to fear consequences.
If he was meant to be a villain—
Then he would be a true villain.
"System," Aaron asked mentally, "what are Villain Points used for?"
"Villain Points can be exchanged for martial arts, pills, weapons, characters, and lottery draws.""As an initial binding reward, host receives two advanced draws."
"Use them immediately."
A massive roulette wheel appeared in his mind, spinning rapidly before stopping.
"Congratulations! Host has obtained Heaven-Seizing Creation Pill."
A pill capable of cleansing meridians, refining marrow, and strengthening one's foundation.
Without hesitation, Aaron swallowed it.
A scorching warmth surged through his body.Pain—then rebirth.Dark impurities seeped from his skin.
Before he could fully recover—
The second draw activated.
"Congratulations! Host has obtained character: Blood Blade Monk — Mid Transformation Stage."
A mad butcher.A pure villain.Bound by fate to serve his master forever.
"Blood Blade Monk will appear beside the host within one hour."
Aaron looked at his reflection in the bathroom mirror and smiled faintly.
"Chu Fan…"
"This world no longer belongs to you alone."
