Chapter 1 • Transition to a New World: The Villainous System

[Hello, this work previously belonged to a Tozoku/Fanfinir male actor and my friend for 2 years who has always helped me as a writer… and I will continue his story here on the webnovel.]

:)

In a third-year high school classroom, the sky dawned gray and heavy. Thick drops of rain pounded on the windows, producing a continuous rhythm that mixed with the buzz of the students. The wind blew hard, making the trees shake vigorously outside. The light was so dim that the lights in the room had to be on for the students to see their notebooks.

Suddenly, a powerful bang echoed and an intense flash lit up the room. Some students saw an intense purple bolt of lightning strike the building, causing a blackout and leaving the room in total darkness.

Unknown to everyone, a beam of the same purple hue, almost black, slid along the walls of the school, as if searching for something. Finally, it found what it wanted in a second-grade classroom. The lightning bolt sped across the floor towards a young man with brown hair and brown eyes, admired for his beauty at school.

- A sudden scream rang out, followed by frightened exclamations, especially from the girls.

Light Yagami had been abruptly struck by the lightning, fainting as his head hit the table.

Minutes later, with the lights now back on, the students were discussing the sudden blackout and the lightning strike.

When Light woke up, something had changed in him. Although confused, he tried to reconcile his memories: one moment, he was in his bed wearing only his Batman underwear; the next, he was in the classroom.

In the blink of an eye, memories invaded his consciousness: memories of an 18-year-old named Light Yagami. As he looked around and pieced together the memories that belonged to him, Light identified himself in a classroom, surrounded by classmates. The place was empty of teachers at that moment.

It didn't take long for the teacher to return. The students resumed their usual routine, going about their tasks and talking to each other.

Light, however, felt that there were more nuances to the situation. He was restless, not in an uncomfortable way, but like someone waking up from a deep, long sleep. There was a feeling of rest, but also a renewed vigor.

While he was still trying to assimilate what was happening, an unusual phenomenon appeared. A floating object with white inscriptions on a semi-transparent red background and a serpent's eye in the bottom right-hand corner appeared in his vision, moving as he moved his head.

"Hologram?" he muttered to himself.

━━━━━━━━

[Four Chosen by Fortune have been detected!]

━━━━━━━━

Light blinked, but the screen that seemed to float was still in front of his eyes. "What's going on?"

As he watched, numbers appeared above the heads of the students in the room, just after a small four-leaf clover.

"Is it an index of luck?"

Soon, he spotted that some had a value higher than 50. This caught his attention, because most of them didn't exceed that number.

━━━━━━━━

[You have been selected to own the Villain System!]

━━━━━━━━

An icy voice resounded in his mind. Light looked around and realized that only he seemed to have heard the voice.

Discreetly, he put his head down on the table, pretending to doze off, while the teacher began her lesson.

In thought, he asked himself: "Why did this happen?"

So far, he had received no satisfactory answer.

Light sighed.

As he raised his head, he noticed that some of his classmates had four-leaf clovers of a different hue to the others. Most of them had red clovers.

"Is the classification based on colors? Does each color reflect a person's level of luck?" he asked himself, trying to understand what was going on.

━━━━━━━━

[Fortune is divided into seven official levels: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple.]

━━━━━━━━

Although the answer was cold and objective, it helped him to understand what was going on.

"Is the color red what most people have?" he asked.

━━━━━━━━

[Yes, ordinary people usually have a red fortune].

━━━━━━━━

"Is there a panel where I can check my status?" he asked in thought.

━━━━━━━━

Character: Light Yagami

Identity: Student

Physical power: 6 - existence level 1 

Magic Power: 8 - Existence Level 1 

Spiritual Power: 6 - Existence Level 1 

Techniques: None.

Mystical Abilities: Dark Purple Lightning.

Fate value: 0

Fortune value: 30.

Store system: will be automatically unlocked once the user's amount of fate reaches 100.

━━━━━━━━

"How can I raise my Fortune and Fate index?" Light asked himself in thought. "Also, how do my powers work?"

━━━━━━━━

When the user carries out actions that alter the fate of Fortune's Chosen and the people linked to them, they will be granted a certain amount of fate and fortune. In addition, actions that humiliate those chosen by Fortune will also result in rewards.

The number stipulates the physical, magical and spiritual power of the host. Ordinary people have, on average, 5 Physical Power, 2 Magical Power and 1 Spiritual Power.

━━━━━━━━

Faced with this information, Light reflected.

"So basically, I need to identify the Chosen by Fortune and then I can extract Fate and Fortune points from them..." Light thought to himself.

Then he opened a book.

Although Light seemed engrossed in reading, in reality, he was interacting with the system, until a question gave him the answer he was looking for.

"Is there any way to view a list of the Chosen by Fortune?"

━━━━━━━━

[List of Fortune's Chosen] :

> [Issei Hyoudou]

> [Yuto Amakawa]

> [Tomoya Aki]

> [Yuki Rito]

━━━━━━━━

"I think I have memories related to at least three of them..." Light thought carefully.

"Issei Hyoudou is recognized as one of the three biggest perverts in the school... Yuki Rito, often called the lucky pervert... Tomoya Aki, an otaku who, curiously, has a certain renown in the school environment...".

After pondering, however, he couldn't remember any details about Yuto Amakawa.

However, when he selected Yuto Amakawa's name on the floating holographic page, something unexpected happened.

━━━━━━━━

[Yuto Amakawa, the Chosen One of Fortune, appeared. The following mission options have been activated].

[System information] :

Option I: Subdue the Chosen One of Fortune. The prize is 700 fortune points and 3,500 fate points. Additional prizes will be calculated differently.

Option II: kill the Chosen One of Fortune. The prize is 700 fortune points and 3,500 destiny points. The additional prizes will be calculated differently.

━━━━━━━━

Seeing this, Light quickly selected the second option.

━━━━━━━━

[Host, you have chosen option II and will be relying on the system for assistance. Yuto Amakawa's storyline will be revealed].

━━━━━━━━

Several images related to Yuto Amakawa flooded Light's mind. There were memories of Yuto's childhood and adolescence.

After this vision, Light regained consciousness.

Looking at the list, he selected each name and chose the second option.

"None of them are in my class, really... That young woman must be the hero." Light focused his gaze on a young woman with long red hair and said: "Rias Gremory is widely known for her beauty, and rightly so...".

"What's more, she holds a whopping 900 fortune points. And she's still a devil...". - reflected Light.

Then he spoke up: "Teacher, can I go to the bathroom?"

The teacher turned around and gave him a friendly smile: "Sure, go ahead."

Being a dedicated student with high marks, Light knew that the teacher held him in high esteem, even without seeing an explicit reaction from her.

With a nod, Light stood up, attracting the attention of some of his classmates.
