Inside a hidden chamber beneath the Earthshade City, Priyanshu stood calmly before a grand obsidian throne. The walls glowed faintly with formation runes, and dark mist hovered like a living thing. Before him knelt twelve cloaked figures — the first core members of the Dark Heaven Society.
The mission of this secret society was simple:Control everything from the shadows. Become the blade, the shield, and the poison behind every throne.
Each member wore a different mask — animal-shaped visors enchanted with illusion spells. No one knew anyone's identity. Only Priyanshu, their mysterious Grand Master, stood unmasked.
But even to them, his true face was hidden behind a veil of illusion magic.

"And above them all…" Priyanshu raised his hand, his aura erupting like a volcano, "...stands me, the Eternal Villain, the Grand Master of the Dark Heaven Society!"
A tremor passed through the chamber.
The members thumped their fists to their chests and shouted in unison:
"All hail the Grand Master!"
"All hail the Dark Heaven Society!"

Priyanshu silently looked at the system panel and chuckled.
"So easy."
He had recruited most of the pawns by using healing pills, spirit tools, and simple favors. Many of them were desperate — orphans, outcasts, or ruined cultivators. In return, they gave him loyalty, hatred, and blood.
The perfect ingredients for a villainous army.
But now came the real test — influencing major players.
Elsewhere in the Royal Academy…
In a grand palace-like structure, the headmaster of the Royal Academy, Lord Varun Flameborne, received a letter sealed in black wax.
He frowned. "Again?"
It was the third anonymous letter exposing corrupt dealings in the northern court. Every time he investigated, it turned out to be true.
Behind him, the vice-headmaster narrowed his eyes. "This 'Dark Heaven' group… who are they?"
Varun didn't answer. But unease spread in his heart.
Back to Priyanshu...
In his private chamber, Priyanshu sat cross-legged. Now was time to strengthen his own power.
[System Shop → Villain Points: 10,000]

"Buy Mind Control Curse. And Villain's Presence," he ordered.
[Purchase Successful]
A wave of dark energy entered his body. His eyes briefly turned violet.
"Now," he whispered, "let's begin corrupting the future heroes of this kingdom…"
⚔️ Next Target: The Prodigy
According to intel gathered by the Night Vultures, the Royal Academy's top prodigy — Princess Raina, daughter of King Vayron, was back from her closed-door cultivation.
She was beautiful, righteous, and the future Saintess of the Temple Sect.
Perfect target.
"If I twist her heart to the dark…" Priyanshu's lips curved, "...even the heavens will tremble."
He opened a scroll sent by an Abyss Executor. It contained Raina's daily route, habits, and favorite foods.
"Prepare Operation: Tainted Light."

From the shadows…The Dark Heaven Society had just begun to rise.
