Let me begin by telling you how much I hate cliches and Happy ever after's.

Cinderella, getting the prince with love at first sight, snow-white, and her Prince with love’s first kiss…who’s gonna tell these fools that real life doesn’t work like that and don't even get me started with the so-called heroes.

It's almost like the world is blind, and my four-eyed self(making sure to clean my pair of glasses before putting them back on) is the only human that can see that:

Villains are the true masterminds, the ones with the goals, the only people who see the world as it is- an apple for the taking.
That's why my motto is: Life is short and I, Ray, should always come FIRST.


*********
Unlike the cute facade Ray puts up in front of his mother: the only person he cares about, Ray is anything but cute. He sees the world he lives in a little differently and he intends to change it. Unlike others vying to become heroes, he embraces the villain he knows himself to be and the absolute ruler he hopes to become.

In a high-tension world where superhumans exist alongside mutated beasts with powers of their own , there is a huge gap between heroes and villains.
Apart from the different grades(F-A) powers are divided into, they are also classified into two main groups. Propensity for good( Hero-like) and Propensity for bad(Villain-like). This means that the power each person can awaken directly affects how they are treated and which organizations and groups they can join.

At fifteen, Ray’s life doesn’t go according to how he planned it.
Not only is he unable to awaken his powers but caught in the crossfire of a huge battle between a hero and a villain, his life lingers at the brink of death.
Just before his soul escapes his body, he gains a death-related system that not only changes his looks and body but also the way people view him.

Regardless, Ray doesn’t care. His sole purpose is *world domination* even if he has to bring the world to its knees first.

At first, he tries to join hands with a villain organization his father belonged to when he was alive, to take down as many heroes as he can as his powers slowly grow to balance the gap between the two groups. But when he discovers how shallow-minded other villains were to each other and themselves. 

Almost at the cost of his life, he finds a way to upgrade his system and ventures out on his own, building his army from scratch, using the very souls of the mutated beasts the human race is daily battling to defeat.

A Villain's Guide to World Domination

This also greatly alarmed the council leaders and even General Rayon who had been mentally calculating the abilities being used by the man and beast attacking them.

"They shouldn't each have more than two…" General Rayon thought, knowing that the most any beast or human had shown were two.

Maybe they're using an equipment or something, He thought choosing to believe that since to him it was easier to believe.

"They can also teleport…" he thought shocked to find out that one of them seemed to have one of the abilities he had.

"Running is pointless…" Vira said in a chilling tone, making his impatience obvious, and sending a glance at General Rayon who instantly understood what he meant as he began to call back the soldiers underneath them still fighting as much as he could.

This was of course very difficult considering the fact that the more they retreated, the more the beasts closed the gap between them and got closer to the walls.
