In my last life I was a drug lord. I clawed my way up from nothing, and ruled from the shadows, until a rival's bomb blew me apart. Now I've woken up in the frail, dying body of a nobleman's bastard son, in a world of mages and monsters. I don't want redemption. I don't want a second chance to be a better man. I've only ever wanted one thing: to never be at anyone's mercy again. And this world was kind enough to give me the means. [Extraction System] A mysterious system that allows me to harvest the essence of everything. The strong of this world spent centuries building their power. I'll take it straight from their bodies, one at a time, until there's nothing above me at all. "And if you can't tell the difference between an Evil King and a Mad Tyrant, you have no right to challenge me." ==== What to Expect: + Weak to Strongest + Villain MC + Bloodline Fusion & Magic Combinations + Faction Building & Progression + **NO HAREM**
