Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

This is the story of an ordinary person who, upon his death, found himself transported to a new world. As his mundane memories flashed through his mind, he realized there was nothing extraordinary about him. In this new world, he considered altering his path, perhaps aiming for greatness or even claiming dominion. However, his inclination was towards laziness. But then, he noticed the familiarity of the names around him. Could it be that he had somehow ended up in the very first novel he had read years ago? Initially, he felt a glimmer of excitement, but his joy was short-lived when he recalled the novel's plot and the impending crisis it brought. To make matters worse, he discovered that he inhabited the body of Rio Raven Blake, the embodiment of Nyx, known by titles such as The Last Dark Spawn, The First Fallen, and The Infamous Devil. A world teeming with dungeons, gods, demons, magic, and monsters awaited him, trapping him within the persona of the ultimate antagonist. "I'll just ignore the novel's plot and live my life peacefully," he decided. That was his plan until he heard a voice in his head – a voice he had been subconsciously longing for. A system known as "The Great Villain System" presented itself, offering him the chance to accumulate points by derailing plotlines and obtaining anything he desired. With his knack for mischief, he saw opportunities to disrupt events: - "Prevent that prophecy about becoming the villain after growing up, eliminate him early." - "Grab that potion meant for the hero and the alchemist; it's mine now." - "Lock away the one who saves the protagonist; you're a betrayer." - "Use this potion to heal your sick sister and gain a lifelong servant." - "Let my parents' arranged marriage with the princess, a main heroine, backfire on them; we'll see." As the story unfolded years later, during the academy entrance exams, the protagonist shone brightly, breaking records and securing the top spot. However, amidst the attention, nobody seemed to acknowledge Rio Blake's presence. Even the gods were taken aback by his enrollment: - Nyx nodded at her followers' accomplishments. - Odin acknowledged his growth. - Gauri/Kali challenged his believer. - Jesus prayed for his redemption. - Anubis awaited his adversaries' downfall. - Lucifer wrote down his dialogue, embracing his demonic persona. The protagonist watched as the spotlight shifted to another, his confusion turning to shock when his sister ran to embrace the newcomer, apologizing for missing him. "Who is this person? What's happening?" - Apollo cursed under his breath. --- Author's Note: 1. No harem - I believe in soulmates. 2. Rio Blake doesn't concern himself with morality; he seeks his desires. 3. He despises hypocrites, so don't expect friendly relations with the protagonist. 4. He takes relationships seriously, so no casual encounters. 5. He actively disrupts the plot, not following it or maintaining its original course. 6. No hidden strength or OP tropes; he's powerful and formidable.
