When Victor Price lay dying in an alley, the only thing he could feel was regret. Regret at wasting his life, his potential, and his time. Starting with so much potential and ending up as a mid-level accountant after leaving the FBI? But when Victor wakes up in a fantasy world, he thinks that all that can change, that he can take advantage of a second chance. That excitement lasts until he is forced into slavery due to his status as an otherworlder. But Victor isn't going to take this life's challenges lying down. He'll use everything he knew in his first life, all of his brains, and all of the opportunity afforded to him by this mysterious 'System' as a ladder to scheme, plot, and climb his way to the top. All he wants is to live life on his own terms, and he'll do anything to make that happen. Even if that means he's a world-hopping, monster-leading, demon-harnessing villain... Thanks for checking out my story! This is a story about someone descending into a villain. I tried to make it understandable, but Victor will absolutely be doing some bad things. Nothing crazy, just your typical fantasy villain stuff. This story features a system that is relatively light (think Book of the Dead instead of Primal Hunter) and is inspired by Pathfinder 2e. If you liked Book of the Dead or The Hundred Reigns, I hope you'll like this!
