Just three months ago, Johnson Joffrey discovered something truly extraordinary about himself.
He had transmigrated… He was originally just an ordinary office worker, thirty years old, with a car, a house, healthy parents, a beautiful and wealthy girlfriend, and a sister attending a top 5 university. Yet, he unintentionally transmigrated to 1990s America.
This was originally a joyful thing—America in 1998. Although opportunities weren't as abundant as in the 1980s, knowing the general trends and with twenty years of time, just a slight grasp would turn him into a protagonist from an urban novel, a true Dragon Among Men.
He would become rich, then return to China to dutifully care for his parents and marry his girlfriend.
Ah, what a happy prospect that was.
But soon, he discovered something was amiss.
A system called the Best Villain Charm Unlimitedsystem had completely bound itself to him, assigning him all sorts of strange tasks and mandatory achievements, coupled with the incoherent ramblings of his eccentric adoptive mother… DIO, vampires, his own biological father.
How could this be so similar to… No, it couldn't be!
—Until he met Kujo Jotaro today.
It turned out he had really transmigrated into the world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure… He walked to the door of the not-so-luxurious small villa, opened the door with a helpless sigh.
"Johnson, you're back." The white man with a slight potbelly smiled somewhat mischievously, but Johnsonknew the pure kindness in his eyes.
"Mr. Geoffrey," Johnson forced a smile, "I'm back."
Mr. Geoffrey was his stepfather. Unlike the JoJo setting where fathers are inevitably scumbags, Joffreywas a very good father, even though he was often cuckolded by Johnson's birth mother.
The moment Mr. Geoffrey saw Johnson's smile, he was so startled that his face turned pale, like a mouse, and he quickly retreated to the side. The words he had prepared to ask his stepson where he had been were left unspoken.
Johnson gave a wry smile and walked up to his room on the second floor.
Joffrey looked at Johnson's retreating figure. No matter when he looked at his adopted son, an inexplicable fear would arise within him.
The door closed with a click, and Johnson fell onto his bed with a sigh of relief.
It was truly terrifying, playing mind games with a shrewd guy like Kujo Jotaro.
However, since the system indicated that Kujo Jotarohadn't suspected anything, it seemed his acting skills had finally passed the test.
—The Best Villain Must Be an Actor achievement is 40% complete.
The system, acquired three months ago, aimed to cultivate him into the best villain. It contained various achievements that required him to constantly practice, gain experience, and then increase the achievement completion.
For example: Best Villain Does Not Die From Talking Too Much
Best Villain Is an Actor
Best Villain Charm Unlimited
...The system even thoughtfully gave him the [Best Villain Charm Unlimited] achievement as a beginner's gift pack… What is villain charm? It's that inherently evil quality, like DIO, who practically had 'I am the BOSS' written on his face from the start… But those with evil in their hearts would be drawn to his villain charm, ultimately following him involuntarily…
Simply put, the effect of this skill is: unable to live a too peaceful life, ordinary people will feel an inexplicable fear when they see him, righteous protagonists will dislike him greatly, and he will attract some ill-intentioned individuals... So, in the eyes of ordinary passersby, Johnson is: "Wow, this man has such a murderous aura; he exudes an evil presence from head to toe... Wow, what a handsome and cool man... Ah, this King's Power..." Johnson's true thoughts: "Who am I? Where am I? What the heck am I supposed to do?"
Damn it... This is why, despite his rather handsome appearance, beggars on the street and even his kind adoptive father feel fear when they see him.
Who knew he was just an ordinary middle school student!
Give me back my peaceful life!
However, it's a good thing that this skill of his can only be activated against people weaker than him, so Jotaro cannot feel the evil aura emanating from him. But this villainous charm will continuously grow with an increase in strength and age.
I, Johnson Joffrey, just want to live a peaceful life... Aside from this troublesome skill, [Excellent Villain with Boundless Charm], there are basically no other functions.
As for rewards... none!
Yes, this is a system with no rewards! You complete an achievement, and it attaches to you like a skill... The only function is that once you complete all achievements, it will grant you one wish... To go home, to return to his peaceful life, he must achieve these accomplishments.
Thinking of this, Johnson couldn't help but feel energized. He sprang up from the bed with a carp-like flip, took off his clothes, and looked at his entire muscular body in the full-length mirror... He is 14 years old this year, 175 cm tall, weighs 140 pounds, and is covered in muscles... Truly, the bizarre age of Jojo... This Araki line, this art style, these muscles, what a handsome man... Not really! More like philosophical!
He turned his head to look at the five-pointed star on his neck and silently recited his name.
Well, turns out I'm a Jojo too... Too bad I don't even have a Stand. Joestar family Stands are basically innate... Without obtaining a Stand, it's impossible to participate in the plot, let alone become the best villain.
Besides being born with one, there's another way to obtain a Stand: find the legendary arrow that can awaken people's potential.
Some are with Granny Enya, some are in Morioh, and some are in Italy.
However, obtaining a Stand carries some risk; he might directly be shot dead by the arrow.
Although, this is something with a theoretical 80% death rate by arrow, but an actual 100% survival rate.
After working out for a while and reading for a bit, he briefly checked the progress of the achievements [Excellent Villain: Highly Knowledgeable] and [Excellent Villain: Extremely Powerful]. Unfortunately, the completion rate was still very low.
Alas, although he yearned for an ordinary, peaceful life, as the future best villain, he, who understood all the events here, was currently reading middle school textbooks. Thinking about it, he felt a little excited, so he gave a sinister smile at his reflection in the mirror.
The result... it became even more philosophical.
"Knock knock…"
A knock sounded, and it was his adoptive father.
"Uncle Jimmy?" Johnson opened the door, and his adoptive father walked in, looking a bit unnatural.
Jimmy Joffrey, Johnson's adoptive father, had married Johnson's mother when she was already pregnant. He was an honest man, aware of Johnson's mother's plight, and chose to marry her, treating Johnson as his own.
As a child, Johnson was quite ordinary, even talented in some areas. Four months ago, young Johnson had proudly told him he wanted to be a lawyer and study law.
But a month later, Johnson seemed like a different person. Although his memories and body were still those of the original child, the feeling he gave off was completely different.
He had changed, as if something had awakened within him. Hidden, powerful desires (most likely hunger) lurked in his crimson eyes, and his every move carried the natural pride of a strong person (hungry but unsure what to eat). His steps were firm, his gaze steady (preparing to make some noodles)… This feeling, to his stepfather, was like a lone wolf… "Johnson, I went to the hospital today to pick up your mother, but she was gone." Jimmy deliberated for a moment before finally saying this.
Johnson's mother, DIO's little bread, was still in a very unstable mental state, unable to forget her days of making bread.
"Where did she run off to again?"
Unlike what Johnson told Kujo Jotaro, Johnson's mother wasn't afraid of DIO; she deeply loved DIO… She couldn't even accept that DIO was dead. This might have been some form of mind control, or perhaps DIO's unique charisma… So, upon learning of DIO's death, she went to the hospital again.
DIO must have known he had made a few breads, at least that those few breads were pregnant with little breads.
He needed Joestar Family blood, and he possessed Jonathan's body. It was highly probable that his children also carried Joestar Family blood, like the fifth Joestar, the protagonist of golden wind—Giorno Giovanna. In Part 6, the priest mentioned that DIO's children could help him reach Heaven… Johnsonquietly opened the system and saw an item lying dormant in the 'Achievements to be Completed' section: [Best Villain Over Heaven].
