Name's Julien Moreaux..I died of terminal-illness at twenty-four.Woke up as the villain.Not just any villain, Auryn Ignisar, Third Prince of the Dragon Empire. The one who gets betrayed, broken, and executed in Chapter 47 of a web novel I'd read twenty times while dying---Yeah some mad re-read value...I know!Well, here's the thing: I remember everything. Every assassination. Every artifact. Every traitor wearing a loyal smile. The Hero who's coming to “save” the empire by putting a sword through my chest.But I'm not the original Auryn anymore.I have a System that sees through lies. An SSS-Rank Talent that lets me CREATE from nothing—weapons, techniques, power itself. And I have zero intention of following the script.Root out the spies? Done. Claim legendary relics before the Hero does? Already moving. Outmaneuver two older brothers who'd sell me for a political advantage? I'm three moves ahead.My province is dying. My wives don't trust me. The Empire thinks I'm weak.Good.Let them think that, while I rebuild everything from the ground up, not into what it was, but into something the novel never saw coming.Dragons inherit thrones.I'm going to forge mine from the ashes of a fate that was never mine to begin with.Genre: Dark Fantasy, Progression Fantasy, Political Intrigue, Kingdom Building, Mature, Villain MC.Tags: Transmigration, Villain Protagonist, System, SSS-Rank Talent, Dragon Transformation, Multiple Wives, Anti-Hero, Overpowered.
