I Am the Villain Who Plunders Everything From the Protagonist - Chapter 1:
Chapter 1 Becoming a Rich Second Generation
By 7 PM, night had already fallen.
On the Jinghu Expressway, a sedan was speeding along the road.
“Just another half hour to go.”
“Understood, CEO Shen.”
After ending the call, Shen Yan leaned back in the rear seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Suddenly, the car’s brakes failed.
Its speed shot up—180, 200… then a loud crash echoed.
Shen Yan quickly lost consciousness, his entire being swallowed into the void.
He was the CEO of a listed company. Today, he was supposed to meet a client and sign a major contract for the company. Who would have thought he’d encounter such a disaster?
After an unknown amount of time, a mechanical voice echoed, [Do you want to be reborn?]
With effort, Shen Yan opened his eyes and found himself in a white space. In front of him floated a glowing sphere.
“Who are you?” Shen Yan asked. His voice was hoarse.
[I am the Villain System. My main function is to send transmigrators into novels to help them complete missions.]
“A cheat system from a novel?!” Shen Yan’s eyes flickered.
He had worked hard for many years and, in his rare free time, enjoyed reading web novels. Naturally, he understood what a ‘cheat’ system was.
He paused and asked, “What can you do exactly?”
[Every novel has a protagonist. They are sons of destiny, overpowered wherever they go, with beauties falling into their laps. Their success is built on the corpses of countless cannon fodder and villains. When too many villains die, a powerful resentment forms, which gives rise to transmigrators to balance things. As the saying goes, one general’s success comes at the cost of ten thousand bones. That’s exactly what happens with these brainless protagonists. Your mission is to suppress them. I assist you in transmigrating into their worlds, replacing the original villains, turning the tide, and altering the plotline.]
The Villain System explained its purpose dutifully.
“Why did you choose me?”
[You, Host, were chosen out of billions as the most suitable candidate.]
“A mission to turn the tide?” Shen Yan frowned. “Hold on. I need to think about it.”
At that moment, a virtual screen appeared midair and began playing a video.
It showed a collision between a large truck and Shen Yan’s sedan. The car was flung into the air, spun twice, then smashed onto the ground.
The system’s voice followed, [In your original world, you are already dead. But it doesn’t matter. As long as you complete the mission, everything I promised can be yours.]
Then, another video played—scenes from the daily life of Shen Yan’s parents back in their hometown.
[In your original world, you’re gone. Only by traversing can you survive. If you complete the mission, you might one day return and see your parents again.]
That sentence struck Shen Yan’s heart. He was a devoted son.
He closed his eyes and thought, “That’s right. As long as I’m alive, there’s still a chance.”
He remembered all the struggles in his company, all the scheming behind his back. Success wasn’t easy. How could he willingly give it all up?
When Shen Yan opened his eyes again, his gaze had changed.
“Let’s begin.”
[Received!]
[Host is ready. Initiating transfer to designated world.]
[Preparing transmission. 3… 2… 1…]
…
After some time, Shen Yan opened his eyes and regained his senses.
Before him was an extremely luxurious and extravagant room.
“This room is huge,” Shen Yan exclaimed.
Soon, he walked over to a floor-to-ceiling mirror.
Reflected inside was a tall and handsome man, dressed in a tailored suit with a watch on his wrist.
Shen Yan glanced at it.
Hiss! A Piaget!
This… this was a world-class luxury watch!
It was even a limited edition, worth over 100,000 yuan!
“Looks like my identity in this world isn’t bad.”
He began observing the room carefully.
Then, he turned to the floor-to-ceiling window beside him.
He took a sip of his cocktail, and the reflection in the window moved with him.
Shen Yan felt something odd. “Why does this person look exactly like me?”
[Host, the original owner of this body has already died. This is now your body.]
Hearing the system’s explanation, Shen Yan understood. The original Shen Yan of this world had died. The body he now occupied was constructed based on his own genes before crossing over.
In short, this was his real body.
Just then, the mechanical voice sounded again.
[Loading original novel plotline…]
[Loading original host’s data…]
In the next moment, a new set of memories and plotline appeared in Shen Yan’s mind.
This world was from a novel titled Reborn to Become the Urban Mercenary King. It was a world built from the novel’s plotline.
The plot was set in Nine Dragons Nation. The protagonist Lin Yu was originally an ordinary person. By a twist of fate, he was reborn back to when he was 14. From that moment on, relying on his foresight from his past life, he was accepted as a disciple by a hidden master in the mountains. By age 20, he completed his training, descended the mountain, and quickly became a renowned international mercenary king. From then on, he used his skills and future knowledge to live an arrogant, face-slapping, carefree life.
During this time, Lin Yu attracted countless women with his charm. Every rise of a protagonist meant countless cannon fodder would fall. The original Shen Yan just happened to be one such villain.
He had good looks, a powerful family background, was well-educated, and had a beautiful and capable fiancée. With such a setting, he was naturally set up to be face-slapped by the protagonist.
Everything that belonged to Shen Yan—his wealth, women, status, even family—was taken away.
By the end of the novel, Lin Yu used his power to bankrupt the Shen Corporation. Shen Yan’s father was imprisoned due to investigations into the company.
His mother, unable to bear the blow of the company’s downfall, became increasingly depressed and ultimately committed suicide by poison.
As for the original Shen Yan, after failing to flee abroad and learning of his parents’ fate, he jumped to his death in despair.
At that moment, the system’s voice returned.
[Plotline access point and identity established. Prepare to begin the counterattack.]
“Wait. What part of the plot am I in right now? What exactly am I supposed to do…”
