Becoming the Dark Lord

Summary
“I Became the Dark Lord”
They came for power. Luke wants the truth.
The System integrated Earth into a multiverse of gods, monsters, and dungeons. Half of humanity answered the call. Some return stronger. Others never return.
Thirteen years ago, Luke’s mother entered the Tutorial and vanished. Now, Luke faces the same trial, not for glory, but for answers.
What should be a beginner’s test becomes a death sentence. Luke falls into a forgotten dungeon floor. Monsters are scarce. Supplies are limited. The only way out? A temple hanging over an abyss, guarded by a sleeping demon. Every puzzle kills. Every step risks his life.
No buffs. No tricks. Just a knife. Just raw will to survive.
When the light fades and the body breaks, Luke has only one choice:
Embrace the darkness.
And be reborn.
