Victor never expected to wake up inside the world of a story he already knew.

Worse, he didn’t transmigrate into the protagonist.

He became Victor Alves, the arrogant only son of Duke Alves, a powerful noble heir studying at Starlight Royal Academy and, more importantly, one of the villains destined to become a stepping stone for the original protagonist, Ryan Carter.

Victor knows how this story is supposed to end.

Ryan will rise.

The geniuses surrounding him will become monsters who shake the continent.

The Alves family will collapse.

And within a year, Victor himself will die.

Fortunately, the moment Victor accepts his new reality, he awakens the Investment System.

The system allows him to see the hidden potential, needs, talents, and possible futures of those around him. By investing gold, equipment, potions, skills, bloodlines, cultivation resources, and even opportunities into suitable targets, Victor can change their destinies and receive multiplied returns.

A struggling swordsman with the potential to become a legendary Sword Saint?

Invest.

An overlooked servant hiding a terrifying bloodline?

Invest.

A future powerhouse destined to die before ever realizing her potential?

Invest.

While the empire’s nobles compete for geniuses who have already proven themselves, Victor quietly gathers those the world has ignored and turns them into monsters.

And every time his followers grow stronger, Victor’s rewards become even more absurd.

By the time the great families realize that the insignificant people surrounding Victor have become generals, Sword Saints, assassins, and legendary mages, it is already too late.

Because Victor was never simply raising subordinates....He was building an empire of his own.

Half an hour later, in the Noble Dormitory District...


After returning to his residence, Victor casually removed his coat and entered the study, taking a seat behind his desk. Evelyn skillfully poured him a cup of tea before quietly standing to the side.


"Young Master, what are your plans next?"


"Let's take a look at my current situation first."


Victor lifted his teacup and took a sip before activating the System panel with a thought.


The next moment, a pale blue screen slowly unfolded before him.


[Talents: High Level Fire Element Affinity, Mana Devour S+, Combat Intuition, Infinite Evolution SSS]


[Main Skills: Shadow Blink, Heaven Burning Sword Art, Mana Plunder]


Looking at the attribute panel before him, Victor couldn't help falling into deep thought.
