In a senior year classroom, the sky dawned gray and heavy. Thick drops of rain pelted the windows, producing a steady rhythm that blended with the students' murmurings. The wind blew fiercely, causing the trees outside to shake vigorously. The room was so dimly lit that the lights needed to be on for students to see their notebooks.
Suddenly, a powerful boom echoed, and a bright flash illuminated the room. Some students saw a deep purple lightning strike the building, instantly causing a blackout and leaving the room in total darkness.
Unknown to all, a lightning bolt of the same deep purple, almost black shade, slid across the school's walls, as if searching for something. Eventually, it found what it was looking for in a sophomore classroom. The bolt quickly surged across the floor towards a young man with brown hair and eyes, admired for his beauty at school.
"Ahhh!" A sudden scream echoed, followed by frightened exclamations, especially from the girls.
Light Yagami was abruptly struck by the lightning, fainting as he hit his head on the desk.
Minutes later, with the lights restored, students discussed the sudden blackout and the flash they'd witnessed.
When Light woke up, something within him had changed. Though confused, he tried to reconcile his memories: one moment he was in his bed wearing only his Batman underwear, and the next, he was in the classroom.
In a blink of an eye, memories flooded his consciousness, memories of a 17-year-old named Light Yagami. Looking around and piecing together the memories merging within him, Light recognized he was in a classroom surrounded by classmates. There were no teachers in the room at that time.
It wasn't long before the teacher returned. Students resumed their usual routine, chatting and working on their tasks.
However, Light felt there was more to the situation. He was restless, not uncomfortably so, but like someone waking from a long, deep sleep. There was a feeling of rest, but also renewed energy.
As he was still trying to grasp what was happening, an unusual phenomenon appeared. A floating object with white inscriptions on a semi-transparent red background and a serpent's eye in the bottom right corner appeared in his vision, moving as he moved his head.
"Hologram?" He murmured to himself.
━━━━━━━━
[Four Chosen by Fortune have been detected!]
━━━━━━━━
Light blinked, but the floating screen still remained in front of his eyes. 'What's happening?'
As he observed, numbers appeared above the heads of the students in the room, soon after a small four-leaf clover.
'Is this some kind of luck index?'
Soon, he noticed that some had values higher than 50. This caught his attention since most didn't exceed that number.

[You have been chosen to possess the Villain System!]
━━━━━━━━
A cold voice echoed in his mind. Light looked around, realizing only he seemed to have heard.
Discreetly, he lowered his head onto the desk, pretending to nap, while the teacher began the lesson.
In his mind, he wondered: 'Why did this happen?'
Up to that point, he hadn't received any desired answer.
Light sighed.
Raising his head, he noticed that some classmates had four-leaf clovers of different shades than the rest. Most displayed red clovers.
'Is the ranking based on colors? Does each color reflect the person's level of luck?' He pondered, trying to understand what was going on.
━━━━━━━━
[Fortune is divided into seven official levels: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple]
━━━━━━━━
Though the answer was cold and straightforward, it helped him understand the situation.
'Is red the color most people have?' He wondered.
━━━━━━━━
[Yes, ordinary people usually have Red Fortune]
━━━━━━━━
'Is there a panel where I can check my status?' He asked in his thoughts.
━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━
'How can I increase my Fortune and Fate index?' Light wondered: 'Moreover, how do my powers work?'
━━━━━━━━
[When the User performs actions that change the fate of those Chosen by Fortune and those linked to them, a certain value of Fate and Fortune will be awarded. Additionally, actions that humiliate the Chosen by Fortune will also result in rewards.]
[The numbers specify the Host's Physical Power, Magical Power, and Spiritual Power. Ordinary people average 5 in Physical Power, 2 in Magical Power, and 1 in Spiritual Power]
━━━━━━━━
Considering this information, Light pondered.
'So, basically, I need to identify the Chosen by Fortune and thereby, I can extract Fate and Fortune points from them...' Light reflected.
He then opened a book.
Although Light seemed engrossed in reading, in reality, he was interacting with the system, until one inquiry got the answer he was looking for.
'Is there a way to view a list of those Chosen by Fortune?'
━━━━━━━━
[List of the Fortune Chosen:
> [Issei Hyoudou]
> [Yuto Amakawa]
> [Tomoya Aki]
> [Yuki Rito]
━━━━━━━━
'I believe I have memories related to at least three of them...' Light carefully reflected.
'Issei Hyoudou, known as one of the school's top three perverts... Yuki Rito, often nicknamed lucky pervert... Tomoya Aki, an otaku who curiously has some renown in the school setting...'
After contemplating, he couldn't recall details about Yuto Amakawa.
However, upon selecting Yuto Amakawa's name on the floating holographic page, something unexpected happened.
━━━━━━━━
[The Fortune Chosen, Yuto Amakawa, has appeared. The following mission options are activated.]
[System Information:]
Option I: Subdue the Fortune Chosen. The reward is 700 Fortune Points and 3,500 Fate Points. Additional rewards will be calculated differently.
Option II: Kill the Fortune Chosen. The reward is 700 Fortune Points and 3,500 Fate Points. Additional rewards will be calculated differently.
━━━━━━━━
Seeing this, Light quickly selected the second option.
━━━━━━━━
[Host, you have opted for option II and will have the assistance of the system. The storyline of Yuto Amakawa will be revealed]
━━━━━━━━
Swiftly, various images related to Yuto Amakawa flooded Light's mind. From memories of Yuto's childhood to his adolescence.
After this vision, Light regained his consciousness.
Looking at the list, he kept selecting each name and opting for option II.
'None of them are in my class, indeed... That young girl must be the heroine.' Light focused his gaze on a young lady with long red tresses: 'Rias Gremory, she is widely known for her beauty, and rightfully so...'
'Moreover, she holds an impressive 900 Fortune points. And she's also a devil...' Light reflected.
Then, Light spoke up: "Miss, may I go to the restroom?"
The teacher turned and, upon looking at him, gave a friendly smile: "Of course, go ahead."
Being a dedicated student with high grades, Light was aware that the teacher held him in high regard, even without seeing an overt reaction from her.
With a nod, Light stood up, catching the attention of a few classmates.
