One-night Stand

Once, Ethan Ashford gave everything for the woman he loved. In return, she betrayed him. Veronica Harrington secretly gave the resources she took from Ethan to her lover, Damien Blackwood, the so-called Chosen One, the Protagonist, the Child of Luck, or whatever else. While Damien and other protagonists took countless "fortuitous encounters" to become the world's heroes, Ethan became the villain everyone despised. Betrayed and tortured, his family was destroyed, his bloodline exterminated, and he died filled with hatred and regret. But fate wasn't finished with him. Ethan awakened a hundred years in the past, before every tragedy began. And that too with a heaven-defying System, called the Villain System, that could give him rewards for changing his own destiny and destroying these protagonists' fortunes. This time, Ethan knew every opportunity the Chosen Ones would obtain, every scheme hidden in the shadows, and every betrayal waiting for him. Did the Divine Healer descend from the mountains? "I'll steal his inheritance." Is the King of Soldiers returning to reclaim his glory? "I'll crush him before he even rises." The destined Son of Fortune? The Heavenly Genius? The Peerless Sword Saint? I'll take every one of their opportunities and leave them with nothing. "As for the heroines who once stood beside those protagonists... If they deserve redemption, they'll stand by my side instead. If they choose my enemies, they'll share their fate." In this life, Ethan would no longer be the stepping stone beneath the protagonists' feet. He would become the nightmare that hunts every Chosen One. After all... "Who says villains are destined to lose?"
