Orphaned with both parents gone, owning a car and a house.
Wayne Lawrence was undoubtedly a transmigrator.
As a transmigrator, having his own cheat was only natural. Since third grade, his cheat had arrived—the Demon King System.
By breaking rules and creating chaos, he could earn Chaos Points for lottery draws.
If the commotion was big enough, he might even receive critical hit rewards. It was precisely because of this system that the former model student gradually became the notorious 'Demon King' that Westminster Church Elementary School dreaded.
Far from being exemplary in both character and academics, he could be described as universally disliked.
If not for his exceptionally outstanding grades and formidable background, he would have likely been expelled multiple times.
Over the years, Wayne had earned numerous rewards.
For example, blowing up the restroom in fourth grade earned him a body optimisation opportunity.
Wayne was already quite adorable originally, but after optimisation, his looks reached new heights, making him even more relatable.
His cute appearance also became a valuable tool for escaping punishment.
Another example was the speech about hammers and sickles before graduation, which earned him the Memory Palace Technique, granting him perfect recall from then on.
Just two days ago, Wayne spent all his points on lottery draws, winning hundreds of thousands of pounds, some academic knowledge, and a golden epic-level reward—
Fifteen per cent non-dilutable shares in a particular operating software company. But who would have thought... this was the Harry Potter world.
This morning, the moment he received the admission letter from the Scottish round-faced fat chicken, the system promptly issued a notification tone.
[Detected host's career change. System upgrading.]
[Demon King System 2.0 is at your service, wishing you could bring unique vitality to this boring world.]
Wayne sighed.
If he had known he would receive Hogwarts' admission letter, he wouldn't have spent all his points so recklessly.
However, recalling his experiences over the past eleven years, Wayne tried to find evidence of his Magic Riot and had some clues.
Once, during a trip to the U.S., he thought the torch on the Statue of Liberty was too ugly; subsequently, the statue's arm broke off, making international headlines.
At the time, he thought it was due to the statue's age and disrepair, but now it seemed likely his magical power outburst was the cause.
After waiting a while, the system finally responded.
[Spent points cannot be refunded. The host will be gifted a Career Change Package and a System Upgrade Package.]
Looking at the few lines of text on the light screen, Wayne felt considerably better. This counted as mixing two beginner's gift packages, at least.
"Open."
After some ceremonial incense burning, bathing, and bowing three times to Laozi, Wayne casually opened the treasure chest.
[Opening the Career Change Gift Package. Congratulations, Host. Obtained one Character Template Card, with the bonus of unlocking the personal attributes panel.]
[Opening the System Upgrade Gift Package. Congratulations, Host. Obtained one Pokémon Egg (partially localised and improved), with a complete incubation set included.]
Wayne's eyes widened slightly.
Damn.
Was one system upgrade this generous?
Even a Pokémon Egg was pulled out. This crossed worlds, didn't it?
With a thought, an incubation device about the size of a briefcase, along with the Pokémon Egg and an instruction manual, appeared on the table.
The operation was simple: just place the egg inside, connect the incubation device to a power source, and it would automatically hatch after ten days.
However, the system specially noted that if a drop of blood were dripped onto the eggshell, the Pokémon would automatically achieve maximum intimacy upon birth.
After setting up the incubation device, Wayne finally checked the other reward.
[Template Card (Gold): Randomly obtain all talents and special abilities of an S-rank or above wizard.]
"S-rank? System, how are these levels divided?" Wayne asked curiously.
Soon, a line of text appeared on the light screen.
[D-rank talent: barely passes O.W.L. exams.]
[C-rank talent: can normally pass N.E.W.T. exams.]
[B-rank talent: active magical power, modest talent in magic.]
[A-rank talent: overflowing talent, a genius in the eyes of ordinary people.]
[S-rank talent: a prodigy beyond common sense, enough to leave a mark in history.]
[SS-rank talent: once-in-a-century, dazzling even in the long river of history, capable of influencing historical progress.]
[SSS-rank talent: legendary!]
After reading, Wayne remained silent for a moment. Instead of rushing to activate the template card, he commanded:
"Open my status panel."
He wanted to see what his current talent was like.
[Host: Wayne Lawrence]
Magical Power: A+
Charms: A
Defence Against the Dark Arts (White Magic): B
Dark Arts: A+
Transfiguration: B
Potions: A
Alchemy: A
[Special Talent: Memory Palace (photographic memory, increased brain capacity)]
[Comprehensive Evaluation: A-]
[With your formidable Dark Arts talent, you could become an outstanding Dark wizard. Embrace the darkness, young one!]
After reviewing his stats, Wayne's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
A comprehensive evaluation of A- might seem like the mark of a decent genius at first glance.
But his ratings were somewhat absurd—largely propped up by his exceptional magical power and Dark Arts talent. As for Potions and Alchemy reaching an A, that was likely due to his photographic memory.
The problem was that Dark Arts couldn't be used freely either. The old bee would be the first to have a "chat" with him if he did.
"Activate!" Wayne snapped impatiently. "Hurry up and unlock the template card!"
He had been the top student for six consecutive years, won awards in Olympiad competitions, and mastered numerous skills as an elite elementary school student—now a middle schooler.
How could his rating only be A-?
'Don't ask—just blame the system for suppressing me.'
Golden light shattered, and before Wayne could make out anything, the template transformed into a streak of light that shot into his forehead. The system's notification arrived belatedly.
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained an SS-tier template: The Great Mage of Ancient Greece—'The Invincible' Andros!]
A slight dizziness washed over his mind, followed by an indescribable sensation coursing through his body.
Magical power!
He could truly feel the presence of magical power now.
Invisible, intangible—yet when Wayne raised his arm, the teacup on the table floated into the air.
No incantation, no wand.
He willed the teacup to rise, and it obeyed effortlessly.
In just a few seconds, Wayne had already experienced the stark difference in his talent. It was like night and day!
There was no recollection of anyone named Andros in his memory, leaving Wayne momentarily baffled.
'Who is this guy? How is he so overpowered?'
Subconsciously, he reopened his current status panel, and his pupils slowly dilated.
