I Became Jafar
Chapter 0
It's impossible...
I have truly become Jafar.
There was a tall, thin man with wheatish skin, a long beard, black eyes full of cunning and deceit, and a long face, wearing a long black cloak.
He stared intently into the mirror, moving his eyes in every direction.
"Is this possible? An hour ago, I was returning from work when I felt pain in my heart... Did I die?"
Suddenly, he was struck by a severe headache, and minutes later, he confirmed that he was indeed in Jafar's body.
Jafar sat on the large bed, big enough for nine people. The room was filled with antiques and golden objects. The current Jafar couldn't calculate their value, but he expected that if he had had them in his previous life, he would never have needed to work again.
[Loading system...]
"What? A system? I have a system!"
[System opened]
[Hello, host, I am the system of the ultimate evil.]
"What do you mean by the system of the ultimate evil?"
[I am a system that rewards you for becoming a great villain.]

[If you don't respond, the system could collapse. Would you accept being evil?
Yes/No]
Jafar thought about his previous life... He was a poor animator who worked for several studios but was notorious. He tried many times to make a name for himself, but failed, and eventually died.
This made him think that Jafar's life was similar to his own; he had been trying to achieve his dream of power, and had started out poor in the kingdom, without much luck, content with hard work.
And there was Aladdin too... He didn't know if he could live in peace without the intervention of fate, but after dying once, he didn't want to die again.
"I accept being evil."
[The host accepted to be evil]
[The beginning gift will be opened]
[Do you want to open the gift?]
"Yes."
[The beginning gift has been opened]
[You have obtained the "Eye of the Demon"]
[You have obtained the "Spell of Subjugation"]
[You have obtained the "Potion of Power"]
"What? All this?"
The original Jafar was a sorcerer, so he immediately understood the benefits of these items.
The first is the Eye of the Demon, an ancient eye. Legend says that a greedy merchant made a deal with the devil and gave him his daughter in exchange for one of his eyes.
The legend says that this eye sees a person's soul, distinguishes lies from truth, and reveals what is beneficial and harmful.
The second is the Spell of Subjugation, a spell that, if placed on a person or object, makes them your servant forever and will never disobey you no matter what you command.
Third: The Potion of Strength, a magical potion made from extinct materials mentioned in potion records, gives the drinker immense strength, and even after death, their body remains intact.
[Host, the quest has been set. Do you want to check?]
"Yes."
[Quest: Become ruler of Agri, obtain the lamp, kill Aladdin, and make Jasmine your slave.
Duration: 40 days
Failure: Instant death and destruction of the host's soul
Success: ???
Quest required]
Jafar began to feel a headache again, but less than the previous time, and understood how the Ultimate Evil System worked.
The Ultimate Evil System relies on destroying heroes and committing as many evil deeds as possible.
Jafar hesitated, but when he saw the punishment, he made up his mind.
[The system will go into hibernation. Does the host have any questions?]
"Yes, did you bring me into this world? If so, why? And why this particular body?"
[Yes, I chose you and brought you into this world. Why this body? Because it is the most receptive to the host's soul, for your own safety. And you can't know more.]
Jafar wanted to ask more, but...
[Hibernation has been entered. The period of hibernation is until the host succeeds in the mission.]
"Ah… I seem to be stuck here."
Knock, knock, knock.
"Come in."
The door opened, and a beautiful maid entered, her head bowed.
"Excuse me, Mr. Jafar, but the king requests your presence for breakfast."
Jafar looked at the maid, who was staring at the floor, noticing the curves of her body. Although she was average in beauty, she was still attractive.
This gaze made the maid feel uncomfortable, but she didn't mind being admired by Jafar. She might become his concubine and elevate her status.
"What is your name?"
The maid smiled shyly, raising her eyes in fear and submission.
"My name is Hanan."
Jafar was internally nervous; he'd never done this before. Even the previous Jafar spent all his time on magic and history, and he'd never had a relationship before.
Jafar knew that if he ordered Hanan to have sex with him now, she'd do it without hesitation...
But if he wanted to change his life, he'd have to wait.
"Get out, and bring me my parrot from prison."
"I hear and obey, my lord."
Jafar was delighted; no one had ever treated him with such respect and submission.
"Okay, go out now and tell the king I'll bring breakfast."
This left Hanan confused... Jafar had been looking at her with lust just moments before, but now he wanted the annoying parrot.
She left without a word, and Jafar could guess her thoughts, but he didn't care.
Jafar smiled; there was something more important to do now.

"It's low... but it's okay. Take out the potion of strength."
Suddenly, the potion appeared in his hand, bright orange in a 10-cc bottle.
He opened the lid and smelled a strong, chili-like scent.
"Is this the Dragon's Heart Control?"
[Yes, the main ingredient in the potion of strength is the Dragon's Heart, but it's hard to kill a dragon, and even harder to find one. A dragon hasn't appeared in this world for 10,000 years.]
Jafar drank the entire potion in one gulp.
He felt fire spreading throughout his body, his eyes turning red, and his skin and flesh burning.
After a quarter of an hour, he finally calmed down. He looked in the mirror and was shocked.
His height increased, his skin became lighter, and his thin body transformed into one full of muscle and strength. Even with the cloak on, his broad chest and strong arms were visible.
He went to the bed and lifted it with some light effort, as if he were lifting a small table. After half an hour, he grew accustomed to his new strength. The smile never faded from his face.
Dial, Dial, Dial
"Come in."
Hanan was holding a golden cage containing the parrot.
When she looked at Jafar, she froze… How had he changed so much in less than an hour?
"Jafar… What happened to you?"
The parrot was also in shock, having been punished a week ago for a mistake he had made. When he returned, he found his master a different man. If it weren't for his facial expression and clothes, he would have thought he was someone else.
"Nothing… It's just a potion I concocted."
Hanan was frozen in place, staring at Jafar, who had transformed from an "old snake" to a "dragon" in less than an hour. She wondered if she still had a chance after this transformation, since even a princess wouldn't ignore Jafar now...
"Afaf Hanan... leave the parrot and go. At night, bring a group of dancers... and you go with them."
"Yes, sir."
She put the parrot down and left, and as she left, she took one last look at him.
