{[3rd Person POV:]}
Opening his eyes, Red found myself in an unfamiliar room looking at the luxurious ceiling. Looking around the room, he thought that this might be the biggest bedroom he ever saw!
He saw many luxurious things in the room. The oversized bed he was lying on could easily fit 10 people and it had so many gold details. Red wondered if this was real gold?
On one side of the room there was a glass wall overlooking the city and it looked quite futuristic in the cyberpunk style.
'System! Are you still there?'
[Yes, Host, the system is online!]
'What now, system, do I get the memories from the original host of this body?'
[The system can provide memories, does host wish to receive them now?]
'Yes, do it now.'
[Ding! Host will receive memories in 3... 2... 1...]
Damn... This guy was a total loser! And also quite pitiful. Red just received his memories and, despite being the heir of a powerful family, this guy spent all his time spending money on luxuries and chasing ladies, he even received an injury while chasing one girl named Molly that ended his life!
The guy was a typical villain character and chased one girl so much that the girl became disgusted and avoided him completely. In the end there was Molly's bodyguard - a guy named Lucas - that saved the beauty and beat this guy so much that he ended up in bed and even died from it! Such a cliche protagonist and villain plot.
'System! What is this? This other guy must be a protagonist or something and I am a villain now!?'
[Host, let me explain, the situation is indeed similar to what you are thinking. In this universe there are many Children of Destiny with a high fate value and can be considered "protagonists" as per your knowledge.]
[The person who injured the original host of this body is indeed a Son of Destiny, but his destiny value is not really high and, even though he is destined to achieve many things and become powerful, he is destined to always stay in this low level world.]
'Damn... So what now, can I plunder destiny value from the Children of Destiny and improve myself with that like in those novels!?'
[Host, you are getting too excited with this, does my Host wish to become a villain?]
[Answering your question, Host, you don't need to do that, you already have the most powerful system in the world and unlimited power. You can rewrite their destiny or kill them whenever and however you wish.]
'Well... I got excited for a moment but this is even better, hahahaha, I can do whatever I want. Okay, so, what now? I don't feel that powerful and I even feel a bit weak. Where is that power?'
[Host, do you wish to unlock the power now? I recommend to alter your bloodline and physique constitution as well.]
'Can I see my status window?'
[Before that, Host, can you please give a name to your system?]
'I can name my system? Makes sense actually... Let me think... Since this system was created from the origin of chaos, and is forcing me to make a harem, let's call it Chaos Genesis Harem System.'
[Ding! System naming in progress...]
[Ding! System is named Chaos Genesis Harem System.]

'Wow... This guy is younger than I was in my world. So I can edit anything? Even age, appearance and name? If I change my name here what happens? I'll keep the name, I like it. I used the same name as an alias in my previous life!'
[Host, if you change your name or age in the system status panel the system will change it for you and even edit the reality if you wish, so all people who know the host will recognize you under your new name and all legal documents in this new world will be rewritten too. This system can rewrite anything in reality.]
'Damn... that's a total cheat but better to not use that a lot, it wouldn't be fun. But I'm curious, if I change my family name the whole family gets a new name?'
[Host, right now you are the only one left in this family so only your surname would be changed, along with dead family members of course but that is not important. Also the legal name of your family would change along with businesses that you own.]
'What do you mean I am the only one left? Don't I have a father who is the patriarch of this family?'
'I saw in the memories that the original host has a father - Nobert Vaelanor. His father was Martial King 3rd-stage cultivator at his peak but his cultivation was crippled in the war a few years ago.'
[Host, you might not know, but that father died in a plane crash while your body was in a coma.]
'What? Was it really an accident?'
[Yes, Host, I checked, it was really an accident and not an attempted murder.]
'Damn... This guy was so pitiful... Never mind, I never knew this guy anyway and even though I got the original memories I don't feel anything for family members.'
[Host, system intentionally didn't give you feelings that the original host had because there is no need for that now. And also, that's not the real biological father of your body, Host.]
'Indeed, no need for that now, it would only make me problems. But what do you mean not the real father?'
[You were actually adopted, Host, but nobody except that father knew that you were adopted. It was done because he was unable to have children. Your real family is actually in the upper realms but there is no need to check that now, you can investigate it later when the time is right.]
'Okay, later I should investigate this since, now that this is my body, that is my family too. I also feel that there is an interesting plot behind this. Now, you mentioned about editing my bloodline and physique, I probably have a lot to choose from?'
[Yes, Host, you have a lot of options but I recommend to use the Primordial Chaos race, bloodline and physique as it's the strongest in existence and also perfectly in sync with your endless chaos energy.]
'Of course, I will go for the best option, then do it!'
[Ding! Starting the evolution process... 3... 2... 1...]
[Ding! Evolution completed.]
Red didn't know what he expected but as soon as he heard that system notification he lost his consciousness.
[Host! Host! Wake up!]
'Damn... That felt like I got hit by a truck.'
Opening his eyes, he expected to see a scene that he last saw earlier, but now, everywhere he looked he saw the world differently. Everything was black and red but somehow he saw more clearly than ever. he walked to the big glass wall of the room, overlooking the city.
Red saw the whole city clearly, he saw even insects flying in the air as clear as if he used a magnifying glass. He even saw through walls of other buildings!
'There is a beautiful lady taking a shower in a distant building and... cough... better not look at that for now.'
'System, what is this?'
[This is the innate skill of your eyes - Eyes of Chaos. Host, there is much more that you can do with your eyes but the system has suppressed it for now until you get comfortable controlling it.]
'Can I turn this ability off?'
[Yes, Host, you can turn it off, just think about doing it and it will be done.]
Red focused on his eyes and thought about seeing normal again and the colors and super vision faded instantly, and now he saw normally again but his eyes were still much sharper than before.
He turned around and walked to the big mirror in the corner of the room, while walking there he felt his body as light as a feather and full of power. Arriving next to the mirror he was instantly stunned.
'Is this me?'
Looking at himself in the mirror, he admitted that he never saw a more handsome man in his life.
A tall, powerful frame and the sculpted, muscular build of a Greek god. Skin bearing the flawless luster of white jade, and mid-back length hair as dark as the abyss with fiery crimson hints at the ends. Dark, ink-like eyes burning with a glowing crimson energy around the pupils, completing a striking, handsome face.
'Damn... I wonder how the ladies will react to this. System, open the status panel again.'

'Damn, did my height and appearance score change because of my bloodline, race and physique? And now I am the progenitor?'
[Yes, Host, since you absorbed the source of chaos you became the progenitor. Progenitors of races are the first beings born of that race, like Adam is the progenitor of humans, and have the ability to create others of the same race under them.]
[Normally, as a Primordial Chaos being, your appearance score should be 10/10 but the system restricted it to 9.9. Even though it seems like a small difference it is actually a huge thing. The difference between 9.9 and 10 is like heaven and earth and if Host had his appearance at 10 everyone that sees you would be instantly mesmerized and would go crazy. You would be chased by everyone that sees you, male or female.]
'Hmm? There are others other than me? And for the appearance, please don't scare me, system, I don't wish to make people around me crazy, especially other men, just thinking about it gives me creeps!'
[Yes, there were originally few others and those were the first beings who came to existence after the burst of chaos energy was released, now there is only one left who devoured others and is currently in a deep sleep.]
[There is no need to worry, Host, that one is not nearly as powerful as you. None of them became the progenitor because they are not the source but a creation of chaos energy.]
'Okay, good to know. Now to edit my cultivation, how much should I edit it?'
[The lowest cultivation realm in this lower world is Martial Disciple and the highest is Martial Emperor. Host can freely choose, actually you can increase your cultivation higher but this low level world has its own laws and doesn't accept beings stronger than Martial Emperor.]
[Since you have infinite power, you can choose to ignore even the laws of realms, but you would be too strong and would risk destroying this low level world if you are not careful.]
'Hahahahaha, it feels good to not care about anything, but I will still be as careful as possible.'
'From my memories I know there are 6 cultivation realms in this mortal world. Martial Disciple, Martial Warrior, Martial General, Martial Lord, Martial King and the Martial Emperor.
'First 3 realms have 9 stages and the latter 3 realms have 3 stages, but why should I care about all this? System, increase my cultivation to Martial Emperor - 3rd stage, and make sure that there is no boom of power around me so I don't destroy this city.'
[Ding! Cultivation unlocking... Martial Disciple - 5th stage ===> Martial Emperor - 3rd stage (Peak).]
[Ding! Cultivation unlocking finished.]
All of a sudden he felt so much power flowing through his body, the feeling was unbelievable and even addicting. He felt like he could do anything.
He tried taking a single light step but somehow he suddenly flew forward and crashed through the wall into another room in the apartment, landing straight in the bathroom.
[Host, please take it easy, you still can't control your strength properly as you are not accustomed to it.]
'Damn...'
