Villain's Path System
Lucian Valemont was supposed to die like a dog. Humiliated, discarded, and killed by the hero like every other forgettable villain.
But there’s a problem: he remembers the novel. Or at least he thinks he does. As it turns out, his memory is just like the plot full of holes.
Reincarnated as the bastard son of Duke Valemont, Lucian wakes up with a Villain’s Path System and a life destined for failure. 88% of his mana is sealed by a curse, his family wants him dead, and the academy thinks he’s a joke.
In this world, everything is a race. Family who treat their blood like a tool — now why, what, and when it happened, that's up to you to find out in the story.
Now, Lucian has to play his part while navigating his own messed-up life and finding himself trapped between three heroines who are as dangerous as the world itself:
Seraphina Ashenblade: Aggressive and stubborn. She’s the type of girl who values her pride more than her own life.
Elira Frostveil: The "Ice Princess"— cold, detached, and mysterious. She has a strange habit of just observing.
Aria Lighthollow: The innocent saint with a hidden nature darker than anyone knows.
The protagonist can have his predictable happy ending. Lucian is going to take the power, the women, and the throne the story never meant for him to have.
The novel thinks it controls his fate. It’s about to learn what happens when the villain stops playing by the rules.
A WARNING TO IMPATIENT READERS:
If you're looking for a brainless MC who gets instantly overpowered in chapter 3 and collects women like trophies, click away now. Go read something else.
For the first 45 chapters, Lucian is physically pathetic. He doesn't survive with cheat-like strength; he survives through sheer spite, psychological warfare, and gaslighting people who could crush him with two fingers.
If you have the attention span of a goldfish and drop novels because the MC can't one-shot the villain on day one, this isn't for you.
But if you're smart enough to stick around for the build-up? Chapter 55 changes everything. The payoff will absolutely shatter your mind.
Consider this a filter.
