The Veil of Darkness - Chapter 165: Fire and Earth

Elio Stardret dies betrayed by those he had always been so kind to, only to find himself transmigrated into a body of a king who is going through the same kind of betrayal. To avoid meeting the same fate, he vows to only do what benefits him. To indulge in everything the selfish society of his previous life brainwashed him to stay away from. Luckily, now he has a system that can help him achieve this.*Ding [Claim a Queen and Earn Rewards System activated!][Infatuating any queen gives you power over her kingdom and ability to earn more Purchasing Power Points... simply, PPP.][PPP are points with which you can buy anything you have seen. Everything, even from your previous life.]'Wait! I can even buy a phone and troll the people who betrayed me? Damn! I'm gonna give these mofos some hell!'

Lin Lan has traveled to an Otherworld, becoming an unremarkable Lord.With his system, he can enter different instance dungeons to pick up some items and bring them back to his world, such as air conditioners and coffee machines.For a while, his life remains peaceful, until the arrival of a merchant disrupts his routine. Unbeknownst to the merchant, a supernatural creature has been following his fleet, now encroaching on Lin Lan’s territory.[Please note, a shadow from the Apocalypse is pursuing your footsteps, intending to devour your soul and your cherished past dreams (dungeon items), Seagull Town will be completely destroyed in 180 minutes!][Two solutions have been provided for you][Solution One: Proactively head to the designated area to manifest the Dungeon Card and face the shadow of the Apocalypse under the gaze of the Red Moon](Choosing this solution may yield unknown rewards!)[Solution Two: The best plan is to flee, abandon your territory, and quickly move away from the sea](Choosing this solution will result in the shadow swallowing all collected dungeon items!)

How would you react to waking up in a completely new body—one pulled straight from a game you used to play?That’s the unexpected reality our protagonist, Licht, now faces.Trapped in the body of a character he once defeated and killed, Licht inherits not just the appearance, but the karma of the original. Branded a villain, he’s burdened with the consequences of sins he never committed.As a first-act antagonist in the eyes of the world, his fate is already written: to be exposed, condemned, and destroyed.But Licht refuses to accept that. He chooses to fight. To survive.Karma of the past be damned.Yet the deeper he falls into this world, the clearer it becomes—this is no game. It's darker, more twisted, and far less forgiving than anything he’s ever known.This isn’t a hero’s journey.This isn’t a warrior’s rise.This is a villain’s survival.

In the myriad realms, legends rise and fall in the countless eras.
