Victor never expected to wake up inside the world of a story he already knew.

Worse, he didn’t transmigrate into the protagonist.

He became Victor Alves, the arrogant only son of Duke Alves, a powerful noble heir studying at Starlight Royal Academy and, more importantly, one of the villains destined to become a stepping stone for the original protagonist, Ryan Carter.

Victor knows how this story is supposed to end.

Ryan will rise.

The geniuses surrounding him will become monsters who shake the continent.

The Alves family will collapse.

And within a year, Victor himself will die.

Fortunately, the moment Victor accepts his new reality, he awakens the Investment System.

The system allows him to see the hidden potential, needs, talents, and possible futures of those around him. By investing gold, equipment, potions, skills, bloodlines, cultivation resources, and even opportunities into suitable targets, Victor can change their destinies and receive multiplied returns.

A struggling swordsman with the potential to become a legendary Sword Saint?

Invest.

An overlooked servant hiding a terrifying bloodline?

Invest.

A future powerhouse destined to die before ever realizing her potential?

Invest.

While the empire’s nobles compete for geniuses who have already proven themselves, Victor quietly gathers those the world has ignored and turns them into monsters.

And every time his followers grow stronger, Victor’s rewards become even more absurd.

By the time the great families realize that the insignificant people surrounding Victor have become generals, Sword Saints, assassins, and legendary mages, it is already too late.

Because Victor was never simply raising subordinates....He was building an empire of his own.

Abyssal magical beasts were among the deadliest types of monsters in this world.


They could devour mana and possessed extremely powerful shadow adaptation abilities. However, what truly alarmed Leah was the pressure emanating from the creature before them.


That was definitely not an aura an ordinary Level 18 magical beast could possess.


"Second Life Tier..." Ryan slowly exhaled.


According to the academy's regulations, the highest level of magical beasts permitted inside the screening area was Level 18.


But the Level 45 Abyssal Bone-Spike Wolf before them had clearly surpassed the limits of the First Life Tier. It was a Second Tier magical beast.


How could such a monster possibly appear inside an area designated for freshman screening?


While the two were observing it, the Abyssal Bone-Spike Wolf suddenly stopped moving.


Its crimson eyes, which had originally been fixed on the young man in silver armor, slowly turned toward Leah.
