Welcome the villain domination system.

As a former transmigrator from earth, Dex knew what a system was at first glance. When he first transmigrated to the continent of Athra a magical world where mages were revered and honored, he thought he would have a cheat like a system or any other type of golden finger that would lead him to glory just like it happened to all the transmigrators in books he loved to read.

Unfortunately for him he had no such luck and he forged his path through blood, sweat and tears but now, in his rebirth and third life, the heavens were finally smiling on him. His long awaited cheat had finally arrived.

'Better late than never,' He thought. 

Of the three choices presented, number two was not an option, Dex Atticus the magic emperor was no coward. Number one would be helpful because he was as poor as a church mouse; he had not a single gold, silver or copper coin to his name. The holes in his trouser pockets could attest to this.

Money was an important asset for any mage to rise up in the ranks quickly because it could be used to purchase magic cores, magic herbs, weapons, defensive armor, strong familiars or pet beasts, food and magic spells and skills.

As a level one mage, he needed all these things however number three was something no amount of gold could buy. When he conquered a tower in the demon world just before he was killed, he had come across a scroll with that same name. He never had a chance to find out what it was but over one thousand upper level demons had died trying to protect it.

Whatever it was, it was powerful beyond comprehension and it could be the key to what he needed most right now, power!

So he chose option number three, he would spit in terminator troll's face. Of course, Dex knew that he could not go about it directly so he chose to do what terminator troll did, rain spit while acting ignorant.

Dex stood up, collected saliva and opened his mouth and vigorously shouted a bunch of unintelligible words in terminator troll's face. "I shoose...shoose...to see you fwap fwap fwap"

"Is he having a stroke?" someone asked.

"Ew, so gross." A female classmate said.

He made up as many words as he could in that moment but his goal was accomplished in the end because terminator troll's face was covered in bits of spit.

Ding! Congratulations host, you have received the gift astral magic. Once the system made the confirmation, Dex smiled sheepishly, covered his mouth and said, "Sorry, I think I bit my tongue."

The other students in the classroom were laughing slowly because terminator troll who had just received a taste of his own medicine looked like he was about to strangle Dex.

"Get out!!!!! and don't you dare return to my class." terminator troll roared.

"Yes sir." Dex responded nonchalantly and he walked out of the classroom with his hands in the torn pockets of his trouser. He wore a proud smile on his face and his blue school robes were flying behind him like a super hero who had just accomplished a mission of saving the earth.

Despite the laughter and silent excitement in the classroom there was one mutual consensus all the second year students in this classroom could agree on and that was the fact that Dex Atticus was going to be terminated.

Outside of the classroom, Dex slowly strode with no worries on his face. He was humming and he even skipped twice and slid as he slowly danced his way out of the building.

His actions were noticed by many students and teachers from other classes and they wondered just what was making Dex so happy.

He was a familiar face around school because he was one of three red haired boys in school and he was abnormally pale. The freckles below his eyes did him no favors as they earned him the nickname 'spotty.'

However, what made Dex stand out the most was the fact that he was the only student in school who had failed to activate his magical affinity with the elements. He had no affinity with fire, water, earth and wind. Even the rare elements like lightning and space avoided him. He could neither practice light or dark magic even though dark magic was strictly forbidden.

Basically he was a level one mage with no powers, the bottom of the bottom in the magic world and everyone in school knew this. His genius in theoretical knowledge was the reason as to why he was still attending Ragor academy of magic but if he failed to become a level two mage this year, he would be dismissed from the school.

Seeing him so unbothered today made others wonder. "Is he finally quitting?" some students asked themselves.

If Dex could hear them he would say, "No, I am just getting started."

The class he had just been dismissed from was his last lesson of the day so he left school grounds and he hitched a ride with a magic beast transporter back to the outskirts of Ethea, a small farming town in the Empire of Cillia where he was born and raised. 

Ragor academy was in a bigger city called Mitril so a journey back to his home would take him four days usually if he walked. But he was able to arrive in three hours thanks to the speed of the tamed magic panthers which were driving the carriage he was sitting in.

He was sharing his seat with three fleshy tamed juvenile boars which were probably on their way to be feasted on by some rich merchant.

Thinking about the taste of these boars made his stomach rumble and he rubbed it as he eyed the boars greedily. If only he could take one home for his father to roast.

He licked his lips, practically drooling as saliva poured out from the side of his mouth as he eyed the boars.

Since he could not eat ant of them, he turned his attention to the system which he had gained. He looked at the blue screen and his eyes perused everything he could see.

"What kind of system are you?"

"I am the world villain assistant, a hunting choice system. I was created to lead the strongest villains to world domination." The mechanical sound answered.

A villain system how peculiar, Dex thought. If this was his first life where he dreamed of being a hero he would have automatically rejected it. But after being betrayed by the humans he sacrificed everything for, he did not care if he became the villain. In fact, he welcomed it wholeheartedly because it was his intention to kill all his enemies as mercilessly as he could.

"Hunting, what kind of hunting do you mean?"

"You will be hunting prey, human and non-human. I spot the prey, give you a choice and you hunt for it. The more you hunt the more points you accumulate and the points can purchase almost anything in the system mall. The points can also be used to increase your stats so use them wisely. After a successful hunt you get rewards and you also steal your prey's magic if you desire. There are two types of hunts, minor hunts and major hunts. Minor hunts are the little choices which lead to possible major hunts later. In major hunts will be you taking on powerful prey for big rewards."

"Hmm." He responded as he perused some more. There was a section for weapons, herbs, portions, spells, skills, energy and arrays.
