《I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?》Chapter 01 : Gifts from Noir
Advertisement
My eyes snapped open and I look around the room I'm currently in. It looks like some kind of high-class room with all of those sparkling. I look at my hands. They are tiny. Then my memories of this life rushed into me like water from a broken dam.
My name is Urien Gregorios. The only son and the heir of the Gregorios family. Noir said that he would reincarnate me into the count's family. Looks like he kept his promise. After all, if my memory serves right, the Gregorios family is a noble family from Starfall Empire.
Gregorios family governs a frontier city including the Crystal Dew Forest which is huge. I mean really really huge. According to what I've read in the book, it is said that we would need two months just to cross the forest with a carriage. I don't know why the previous king gave this forest to our family. But it has been over 60 years since the monsters inside the forest do not break out from the forest.
"Noir really kept his promise," I could feel a smile creeping up my face. Did he really think that with given a noble life, I would live a slow one? Live my life by doing good? Dream on! I will become a tyrant! The Evil Lord that would everyone feel fear whenever they hear my name! Being the heir of the family like this is better than I've thought.
I get up from the bed and look at the mirror. Nothing unusual, just like most of the five years old, my height is around 3 feet 7 inches (around 109 cm), white hair with violet eyes. I quickly prepare myself because today is my birthday.
Then, something hit me. If I want to become an evil lord, I should know what an evil lord does. In my case, I got nothing. In Light Novels and Games, they oppress people. Then, what? Living my life with only alcohol, women, and gambling? Why the fu*k should I do that?! They are something that douchebag do. Not the way of the Evil Lord.

Then I remembered my past life. Father came back home with bags under his eyes because he needs to work overtime. It seems that a rival company that has a close relationship with the politician bribed the politician to increase the tax for the company.
Yosh! I will increase the taxes to use for my own and take bribes from people. Then there is a letter from Noir stating that he can't come because he is busy and will give me a gift for successful reincarnation.
When I get into the dining room, both of my parents are waiting for me there with a smile. Then, the man comes and congratulate me on my birthday. He is my father, Ruin Gregorios.
"Happy birthday, Urien. I got a birthday present for you," he said with a smile. Then gesture the maid behind to come here. The maid is holding the stack of papers. When I read those, I got to know that they are the transfer of titles, territory, and other rights over to me. Are they high? Why would they give something like this to a five years old child like me?
"Father, what are these?" I ask. Calling this man, a father is strange. According to my memory, I don't have much connection with my parents. I can do whatever I want as long as I don't go outside the house and they don't care more than that. And calling other people than my father from the previous life seems strange.
Seeing my confused face, the man laughed out. "My boy, for the present for your fifth birthday, me and your mother had decided that we will be giving the entire Gregorios house as a gift."
The *entire* Gregorios house. This time is for real. Did he sniff glue or smoke some kind of weed? Then, I remembered the letter that Noir sent. Did he give me the gift by manipulating my parent's mind to give me the whole Gregorios house for my own? As I thought, he is really a good man.

Seeing my baffled face, my parents have those warm smiles on their faces. The old butler behind my parents is having a sigh. As I thought, this is pretty strange. And because it is strange, this must be the gift from Noir.
"With these complicated things finish, I and your mother will be going for a vacation, Urien," my father said.
"Hmm? You are going? To where?" I made the saddest face I could do.
My father rubbed his chin. "We will be going to the royal capital. We had already bought the mansion to stay there. I don't know when we will be coming back though."
I said nothing and started signing the documents. Then I saw a document, it said that I will be sending the living expenses to them every year. What a pitiful parent. They need to ask their child for living expenses. They look at me with hopeful gazes. I smiled at them and signed that document too. I mean because of what Noir did they need to give whatever they had to me. At least I could do this for them.
It seems they planned to leave today. "Goodbye father, mother. Don't worry about the living expenses. I will send you yearly."
They smile at me from the carriage window. "Of course, I know you will Urien," my father said. And then they started rushing out from the mansion.
After seeing their carriage become a small black dot, I skipped into the mansion. I became a count at the age of five. The large territory is for me to rule! I know that there are many houses with the same or higher status than Gregorio's house. But in my territory, I am king!
After eating dinner, I went back into my bedroom. At that time,
[Multiverse System Booting Up]
Eh? I made a surprise face. The gift has not ended yet? Noir! You are too generous! Giving me a system as a gift.
{What can you do, System?} I tried asking.
[System include , , , and ]
Oh my, eureka. I really got the jackpot.
[But due to limitation, only and can be used.]
Meh, no problem. {System, do I get a starter pack?} I tried asking. A man can dream, right?
[You got a starter pack! Please check it in ]
YES! {System, please open the starter pack.}
[Opening the starter pack.]
[You got 2 x , 2 x and 1 x ]
Not a bad start. {System, use one of each ticket.}
[You have used 1 x , 1 x and 1 x ]
[You got from ]
[
I expected that. And I admit I want Sakuya Izayoi. Because I am going to be an Evil Lord, I can trust no one. Having a maid that is aware of the System is what I need. Word Magic is too overpowering. I can understand they restrict that.
When I see what I got from the troop, I rubbed my eyes once. Then twice. Then thrice. I'm glad I got them. Although they only got 27 people in their troop, their strength is nothing to scoff at.

My Servant Is An Elf-Knight From Another World
It was just like any other day, or so I thought at least. The birds were chirping up on trees, clouds were rolling by the bright blue sky and Elves were dumpster diving in the alleyway. Okay, one of those three didn't sound right... I had a boring life once. Recently though, it has become less boring... to put it one way. Finding a random Elf in the dumpster? Heh, must be a Monday. A normal person would have walked by. A normal person would have ignored it. I must be a pretty weird guy, then. Now I have this Elf swearing her allegiance to me. What's next, vampires? Better not jinx it.

Neophyte: Common Route
A story about self-discovery, interpersonal relationships, magic and magical creatures-- and a silent war. Marsha is about seven years past adulthood and still feels like a scared child in her parents' home. This is exacerbated when she discovers her father has apparently keyed up his destructive, sadistic habits-- leading to a mad dash out of the house with precious cargo in tow and only one idea where to go. This begins her journey, leading to a discovery that will change her life forever. And she never wants to go back. (Warnings: Lots of descriptions of abusive, sadistic and otherwise traumatizing and triggering behavior that a parent perpetuated toward a child or multiple children. Descriptions of violence, a main character with emotional issues that will be dealt with, and a whole lot of the 'aftermath' of battles in a war. Even a few descriptions of some of those battles. Things of that nature. If you can't handle one of those, please do not read.) {I had this idea to write a 'common route' and then 'romance routes' like they do in otomes? Book 1 is the common route, and then at book 2, you choose your love interest. Each of which is encased in their own book.}

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
