When Lin Fan awakens to find himself reincarnated as the protagonist of his favorite novel, he doesn’t see it as just another chance—he sees it as destiny. But this is not the journey of a righteous hero. This is the rise of a ruler who bends the world to his will. Not only does he inherit the protagonist’s immense power, but he also gains the memories of an immortal emperor—one who once stood above all. With this knowledge, Lin Fan embraces a path of absolute domination, casting aside morality and using power as a mere tool to reshape the world in his image. With every step forward, his thirst for control grows insatiable. Empires will fall, sects will crumble, and the so-called "heroes" who stand in his way will be nothing more than stepping stones. His goal? To rule all, answer to none, and carve his legend into the annals of history. Read ahead & support the story! patreon.com/Zhao_fan04
"Hah! After four years, this novel is finally complete. At least the ending was satisfying and didn't disappoint me. If only I could be in Lin Fan's place, in a world where immortality is so easily possible... sigh." A man in his thirties sighed before a sarcastic smile appeared on his face at the irrationality of his thoughts.
"Anyway, let's see what we have here. Isn't this the little rat who dared to betray me?!" The man slowly stood up from the sofa, a gentle smile spreading across his face.
"Mmm, mmm..." A man, hanging by his wrists with iron chains and his mouth sealed with duct tape, began to whimper. Tears streamed down his face, and fear was clearly visible in his expression.
"Well, why are you crying as if I'm the one at fault? You knew from the beginning what the consequence of betrayal would be, didn't you, you scum?" said the man as he picked up the whip handed to him by his servant.
"Finally, it's time for my favorite part — the torture session! We're going to have so much fun together!!" The man said, his smile widening into a crazed grin, as he swung the whip slowly toward the hanging man.
...
If you're wondering who this man is, he's Alex, one of the ten richest people in the world and the owner of the company that created the first virtual reality game. Everyone envies him and wishes to be in his place, but what people don't know is his tragic past that shaped his current personality — a mad and sadistic one.
Alex's parents died when he was four years old, and his uncle took him in from that day forward. The problem was that his uncle was a sadist who enjoyed torturing and humiliating others. Alex lived through a living hell as a child, enduring daily beatings from his uncle for no reason and facing constant humiliation. His uncle treated him like an animal, forcing him to bark like a dog and eat scraps off the floor. He suffered the worst childhood imaginable. However, he succeeded in life and exacted his revenge at the age of 18, finally experiencing freedom for the first time. By then, though, madness had already taken deep root within him.
'Hah, that was a little fun, but that scum gave up too quickly. Really?! Can't they even last half an hour? This is getting boring.' Alex thought with disappointment as he walked out of his luxurious mansion without his guards.
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing sound filled the air, and a bullet shot through Alex's skull with incredible speed.
'Hah, wha...' Alex couldn't finish his thought before he collapsed lifelessly, blood dripping from his head.
