Alex Jin was just another overworked nobody until a truck crash sent him into the body of Valerian Nightshade—the cold-blooded villain from a popular fantasy novel. Destined to die early as the stepping stone for the “hero,” Valerian was powerful, rich, and feared… but ultimately doomed.

That is, until the Villain Evolution System activated.

Now, every villainous act rewards Alex with unimaginable power. Crush a rival? +100 Strength. Manipulate a noble house? Unlock a rare bloodline. Kiss the heroine meant for the hero? Well... let’s just say the rewards aren’t all measured in stats.

To survive, Alex must outwit plot armor, bend fate, and ascend to the throne of power in a world that expects him to lose. But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes—being the villain might be the only way to save this twisted world.

This time, the villain won’t die early. He’ll rewrite the story, one ruthless step at a time.

The night sky fractured like brittle glass, jagged cracks spiderwebbing across the heavens. A golden pillar of light erupted from the heart of the Imperial Palace, its radiance so intense it drowned out the stars and set the clouds ablaze with molten hues. The city of Aurion trembled to its core, the ground quaking as waves of raw mana surged outward, a divine pressure that forced even the most battle-hardened soldiers to their knees, gasping for breath. Buildings groaned, their foundations straining under the weight of the power flooding the streets. Civilians cowered in their homes, whispering prayers to gods they no longer believed could save them.
