Reincarnated in a novel: I am the villain!

Lin Ye was just a regular college student, or so he claimed while secretly obsessing over his favorite web novel, The Hero Returns. But when the hero died, his allies suffered, and the world burned, Lin Ye lost it. “Why not fix it properly? Why not rewrite the damn ending?” The universe answered... with a truck. Now, Lin Ye wakes up as Damien Voss, a minor villain fated to die before the main story even begins. Worse, he’s just one week old, powerless, and trapped in a world teetering on the edge of apocalypse. Within twenty-five years, demons will devour ninety percent of life, aided by corrupt nobles and blind gods watching from the stars. But Lin Ye didn’t come here to die like some background NPC. Armed with foreknowledge of the original plot, a fledgling OP system powered by Destiny Points, and the bloodline of the Voss family, wielders of the deadly Contract Gem ability, he's ready to flip the script. Whether it means outplaying the second crown prince, defying divine fate, or seizing the throne himself, Lin Ye has one rule! If the gods won’t save this world, then he will become the villain it needs. Unfortunately, destiny has a price. Every point spent alters the timeline and draws the attention of heroes, monsters, and forgotten gods alike. But then again… who says the villain can’t be the main character?
