This was the apocalypse. Humanity was at the brink of extinction, all resources were exhausted, and the entire world was in ruins.

Just then, enormous, mysterious black towers appeared in various locations across the globe.

Inside the towers, there were huge amounts of resources. The greater the number of floors of the towers, the more resources it contained. However, corresponding to that, there were also more powerful beasts protecting them.

The only way for one to obtain what he desires is to become stronger and defeat them.

As such, at the demand of the Global Federal Government, teenagers who are of age have to go to the towers to awaken their talents.

Liu yan, who had transmigrated here, awakened the SSS-rank talent: “God-tier Extraction.”

Extract the impurities, and increase the power level of his equipment.

Extract the beasts, and obtain resources to level up.

Until one day, he realized that he could extract the stats and talents of other people…

This marked the beginning of Liu yan’s journey of endless harvesting.

When not so normal man transmigrates into a novel that he didn't even remember its title, as a short-lived extra with immense potential, talent and perfect looks.If he has gotten only good stuff, he would die from joy, but nothing comes without a price. He lost most of his emotions, desires and sensation of pain.He thought it was a blessing and dreamed of just ignoring the bleak, apocalyptic future and doing what he wants without feeling an ounce of guilt. But after a few days, he understood that he would go mad because of the boredom that for some reason didn't reduce like his other emotions.Therefore he began to think about what to do about his problem.“Kill everyone to prevent apocalypse!” Though this is a good idea, why would i kill everyone because of the apocalypse? Although killing everyone would prevent the apocalypse, how the hell i will endure the boredom when all of my entertainers are killed?“Seduce and manipulate important people with his handsome looks and use them for his benefits.” Well, i can do this but it isn't enough.“Pamper his prodigy sister to make her dependent on him in the future to use her overpowered magic to find a solution to his curse.” Hmm, that's good, but this too isn't enough.Let's combine these last two.An apathetic brother who searches for a way to lift his curse while doing strange things to endure his boredom and a yandere sister who is trying to hold herself back from killing the woman/man who was seduced by her overly handsome/beautiful brother.

In every story, there exists the hero and the villain, the protagonist and the antagonist.And like every story, the hero always wins, and always gets the girl.But what happens now that I died and became a villain in the last book I read? Not even a proper villain, but one that the protagonist kills in the early chapters.I don't want to die again, and I don't want that simp of a protagonist to walk all over me. Maybe I should just become a better villain.I've always admired the smart badass villains that took on the protagonist. Maybe I can be one of them, maybe I can win—the first villain to win against the hero.I'll rewrite this story into one where I become the greatest villain. Call me sick or evil, but it's my time to shine.
