Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Chosen by the Evil System

Xie Wang (thinking):

Where… am I?

What happened?

Am I… dead?

(He pauses as memories rush back.)

That's right… I was killed.

Killed by my own father…

Just because I was too weak.

[DING!]

System: Evil System activated.

Xie Wang:

Huh? Evil System? What the hell is this?

System:

Welcome, Master. This is the Evil System.

You gain Evil Points by performing evil deeds.

With points, you can buy weapons, elixirs, skills, and more.

System:

The more fear and pain you cause, the more points you earn.

For example:

– Ordinary humans give you 0.01–1 point

– Ascendents give far more, based on their strength

Xie Wang:

Ascendents? Who are they?

System:

Ascendents are beings with powerful bloodlines or bodies enhanced by cultivation.

They are the peak of this world's power.

Xie Wang:

So… if I torture or kill someone and make them suffer… I get stronger?

System:

Correct. The more evil your actions, the greater the fear… the more points you gain.

Xie Wang:

Heh… interesting. Tell me — what's my current strength?

System:

You are in the Earth Realm – Golden Core Stage.

However, your physical strength is exceptionally high, even among Golden Core cultivators.

System:

In this world, there are six realms, each with multiple stages.

Here is the structure:

[Mortal Realm]

1. Body Tempering

2. Qi Awakening

3. Meridian Opening

4. Foundation Establishment

[Earth Realm]

2. Soul Sense

3. Golden Core

5. Soul Transformation

[Heaven Realm]

2. Divine Transformation

3. Heaven Ascension

4. Heavenly Tribulation

5. Immortal Foundation

[Immortal Realm]

3. Celestial Saint

4. Ethereal Sovereign

[God Realm]

2. Primordial Lord

3. Void God

4. Heavenly Dao Master

5. True God King

[Mysterious Realm]

– Unknown

Xie Wang:

System, do you have a map?

System:

Yes.

– Golden areas indicate treasures

– Black areas show human presence

– Red marks monsters

Xie Wang:

Hah, this jungle is full of people and monsters.

Do you have a way to hide my face?

System:

Yes, but the Face Change Skill costs 200 Evil Points.

Xie Wang:

What about killing monsters? Do I gain points from that?

System:

Yes, but less than from evil acts.

Still, strong monsters give decent points — especially if they're rare or dangerous.

Xie Wang:

Got it. Let's hunt.

[Narration:]

In the next few hours, Xie Wang slaughtered dozens of beasts in the forest.

Blood soaked the ground as he carved through his enemies with brutal efficiency.

[30 goblins, 27 wolves, and 12 bears slain.]

System:

Congratulations, Master.

You have earned 213 Evil Points.

As a first-time bonus, you've also gained the skill: Aura Presence.

[Aura Presence: Hides your cultivation level from others unless you reveal it.]

Xie Wang:

Hmph… not bad.

Buy the Face Change Skill.

System:

Face Change Skill purchased. 200 points deducted.

Appearance updated successfully.

Xie Wang:

Good. Make me handsome. If I'm going to manipulate people… I may as well look the part.
