The glowing text is still standing before my eyes like a god's blessing!

[System only recognises worthy achievements and skills]
*********************************
I don't know why this damn system chose me!
My gaze lingered on the word None. Not once. But three times.
"Mmhhhmmm…"
A slow breath escaped me, almost like a laugh, though no humor reached my eyes.
"So this is what I am?"
An 18-year-old young master of the mighty Clark family, surrounded by wealth, trained since childhood… and yet the system recorded nothing worth acknowledging.
No comprehension.
No real skill.
No foundation.
Just an empty shell propped up by status.
My fingers moved to stop the bath water.
"Fated Villain…"
The title didn't surprise me.
What surprised me… was how accurate it felt.
Finally, I felt little hope when I saw the shopping cart icon at the bottom corner.
"System, show me what you have in your treasury."
The system responded instantly, as if it had been waiting.
Mythical grade Sword…! Sky level dagger, Heavenly body refinement…!!! My God!
Monk grade pills, bone tempering arts! Potions to improve blood purity!
Elemental bone marrow! Manuals improve body control!
God…! This is the treasure trove of heaven! With these, I can directly become a supreme who can decide the fate of an entire country!
Heaven's children will beg me for resources…!
Wait… how can I get them?!
Tony's jaw dropped down when his eyes finally catched the golden text.
FATE COINS: 0
He needs fate coins to purchase even a beast body hair from the treasury! It felt like dropping from heaven when he finally realised the cost of a powerful weapon.
"This damn system…! At least give me something for free as a welcome gift!" Tony demanded like a small child whose candy got robbed by an elder.
Just as he asked, the system interface changed.

******************************
Tony stared at the number in shock as he stood up from the bath tub.
"Three hundred… and thirty?"
He didn't remember doing anything extraordinary. Kevin Clark was just a nuisance he crushed casually. Lily Clark… an inconvenience he put in her place.
The rest?
Petty arrogance. Everyday dominance. Careless cruelty. Nothing worth remembering. As the heir to the Clark family, all these younger generations must obey my command. It is all a piece of cake for me who felt joy in toying them.
Yet the system had counted everything.
Every act aligned with the role of a villain.
Every moment he acted like the person fate expected him to be.
A faint smile formed on his lips.
"So even meaningless actions have value… Seems like I can cheat the system with my authority."
His voice dropped slightly.
"…as long as they're evil enough… my actions can easily add up points… Hehehe"
Tony's smile deepened as his attention returned to the rewards.
The first one drew him in immediately.
10x Body Refinement Card (1 Day)...
Body refinement was the foundation of martial arts. It was pain layered upon pain, muscles torn and rebuilt, bones tempered like metal. Everyone in the martial path must refine their body to live longer.
The harder the body, the better they can survive against enemy attacks.
Everyone thinks, bullets and bombs are ruling the world. But only the wealthy families know the actual reality. THe supremes of each nation will decide the fate of the world.
A supreme master can block bullets, stop missiles and can even survive an atom bomb. But the path to supreme is never less than experiencing death a million times.
But now, I have the cheat code to change my fate.
And this—
"Ten times efficiency…"
Tony's eyes sharpened.
This wasn't training. This was acceleration. A jet pack which is going to soar me to the skies!
Three days of progress compressed into something far more violent and intense.
If my body could withstand it— I would jump forward.
Fighting Technique Enlightenment — 3 Hours...
Tony's breathing slowed. This wasn't something that could be bought with money.
Enlightenment meant understanding the essence of combat itself.
Timing… Flow… Killing intent…
'Your opponent may be stronger than you… but the fighting technique will decide the outcome.'
It meant transforming crude movements into something precise and lethal.
"A shortcut to mastery…"
Even if one has a God level fighting technique, it's not easy to understand and master it. But with enlightenment, it's just a piece of cake. Like a robo scanning a book… one can easily master any tightening technique with enlightenment.
Then— Tony saw the third reward again.
And this time, he didn't look away.
Dragon Physique Manual — First Evolution
Something stirred deep within me… No Fear or excitement. I felt like standing before a sleeping predator.
My fingers tightened unconsciously.
"Dragon Physique…"
The words resounded in my ears like a temple bell.
This wasn't a technique… This wasn't skill… This was a transformation. A complete change of one self. A rewriting of the body itself.
A normal martial artist strengthened their body every day for years. Train it with constant pain and hard work.
With regular life and death experience one can push the body to its limits. But even then the body stops improving one-day.
But a physique—
A true physique— Changed the very foundation of existence.
Bones wouldn't just become stronger… They would evolve. Blood wouldn't just circulate… It would carry power.
Every movement wouldn't just be forced… It would become dominance.
"And this is only the first evolution…" Tony's eyes gleamed faintly.
If this was the beginning—
Then what stood at the end?
Everything was clear now- Fate had already decided his role.
A third-rate villain! An arrogant young master… A stepping stone meant to be crushed beneath the rise of a chosen protagonist.
Tony let out a quiet laugh.
"My family already offended many heavenly blessed people… Being the top most ruler, it is inevitable to happen.
More than anything, I can't change anything by offering compensation to every one who got offended.
If being good leads to my death… then I'll become worse… I'll take everything wether they like it or not."
