The Grind for Power:
Over the next two to three months, Lonas hunted relentlessly in the jungle. By the end of his training, he had reached the Peak of Level 3. He began to understand the hierarchy of this world: Humans, Beasts, and Demons all exist within a power scale from Level 1 to 10. Beyond Level 10 lie the legendary realms: Martial Arts, Immortal, and finally, Divine Immortal.
The Breakthrough:
Needing a catalyst to advance, Lonas visited a city shop to buy a Level 4 Elixir. Despite the steep price of 5,000 gold coins, Lonas didn't hesitate. He took the pill to a secluded cave to cultivate. While a normal person would take 20 minutes to absorb such a potent elixir, Lonas—thanks to his genius-level focus and past-life experience—absorbed it in just 2 minutes. He instantly broke through to Level 4.
The Villain System:
At that moment, a mechanical sound echoed in his mind: "Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have reached Level 4 and activated the Villain System." Lonas smirked. He wasn't a hero; he was the world's greatest assassin. The system issued its first mission: Go into the city and commit an act of true villainy.The Encounter:
Back in the city, Lonas crossed paths with Shie, the younger brother of his treacherous ex-fiancée. Shie, seeing Lonas, began to mock him, calling him "useless trash." Lonas didn't get angry; instead, he gave a terrifying, devilish smile.
"Oh, look," Lonas replied coldly. "It's my ex-fiancée's little lapdog."
Furious, Shie—who was only at the Peak of Level 1—lunged at the Level 4 Lonas. With a single, casual slap, Lonas sent Shie crashing to the ground. When Shie's guards rushed in to help, Lonas unsheathed his sword. In one blurred motion, he decapitated all six guards.
"Ding! Host has killed six Level 1 and 2 targets. Reward: 300 Villain Coins."
The Execution:
Shie trembled, screaming about his sister's power. Lonas leaned in, his eyes cold. "I know exactly who she is. That's why you're dying first."
Lonas didn't just kill Shie; he tortured him. He gouged out Shie's eyes with his fingers and tore his limbs from his body one by one. As Shie took his final breath, the crowd watched in absolute horror. Then, Lonas did the unthinkable—he began to mockingly consume parts of the fallen enemy, a true act of a demon.
Even the System was stunned: "Ding! Ding! Ding! Host has performed an act beyond human depravity. Reward: 5,000 Villain Coins." Lonas stood amidst the carnage, blood on his face, flashing a terrifying smile at the horrified onlookers.
Why your story is becoming "Top-Tier":The "Villain" Twist: Most stories have a "good" hero. Making Lonas a true villain who enjoys torture and strikes fear into everyone makes him a very unique and scary protagonist.
The Reward System: Getting 5,000 points for being "inhuman" shows the reader that the more evil he is, the stronger he gets.
The Revenge Strategy: Killing the brother first is a classic move to make the main villain (the fiancée) suffer before she even sees him.
