Dumbledore's Suspicion

[Please select the final mission objective for this villain life simulation:]

[1, Become an outstanding Hogwarts graduate and survive the Voldemort crisis without Harry Potter. Reward: Ordinary magical talent; Difficulty: B; Identity: A first-year freshman with extremely poor magical talent]

[2, Eliminate Voldemort and become a top-tier wizard. Reward: Advanced magical talent; Difficulty: A; Identity: An ordinary wizard under Voldemort's command]

[3, Destroy Hogwarts. Reward: Legendary magical talent, special Animagus; Difficulty: S; Identity: The youngest professor in Hogwarts' History of Magic department]

"The Villain Life Simulator, so this is my cheat?"

Caesar paused briefly, then continued reading carefully.

After transmigrating into this supernatural world, his goal was only two words.

The strongest!

As for which path led to becoming the strongest, he didn't care.

"I estimate that both my soul and body crossed over to this world. Even though my age has reverted to twelve, this body from my original world has no magical talent whatsoever. I have to solve this problem."

The three simulation objectives above could all grant Caesar magical talent.

But the ordinary magical talent from the first mission was completely insufficient for him. A precious golden finger shouldn't be wasted here, so the first mission was ruled out immediately.

As for the second mission, while it could grant advanced magical talent, the identity given was far too poor.

What kind of people were under Voldemort's command?

Tom would never give him a chance to develop normally.

"I'll choose the third mission. Although it's the hardest, it gives me the most time to develop, and the starting environment is better than the first two."

[You have selected the final mission objective for this simulation: Destroy Hogwarts.]

[Initial character selected: The youngest professor in Hogwarts' History of Magic department.]

[You may choose three talents from the following ten random talents as your initial talents:]

[Reform to Evil, Top-Tier Magical Talent, Animagus, Innate Intelligence, Parseltongue, Ancient Magic of Love, Genius Scholar, Master of Flight, Potions Master, Dark Magic Prodigy]

"Parseltongue, Master of Flight, Ancient Magic of Love—isn't this Harry Potter's setup? But aside from that, there should be a talent called Protagonist's Halo. Without that talent, relying on these three points alone would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. What if I stack combat power?"

Caesar turned his gaze to the talents best suited for stacking combat power, but soon felt disappointed.

Even if he chose the combination of Top-Tier Magical Talent, Innate Intelligence, and Dark Magic Prodigy, by the time Voldemort attacked, his strength would at most reach the level of top-tier wizards like McGonagall or Snape.

He would have no resistance whatsoever against legendary wizards like Voldemort or Dumbledore.

Now he finally understood why destroying Hogwarts was an S-rank mission. Things were a bit tricky.

Just as Caesar hesitated, the first-ranked talent caught his eye: "What kind of talent is Reform to Evil? It looks unusual."

Reading the description carefully, it said:

You can retain the memories and experiences with a certain character from this simulation, affecting the same character in the real world. However, only one character can retain memories per simulation.

"I thought nothing from the simulation could be brought into the real world. I didn't expect a pleasant surprise. If that's the case, things are about to get interesting."

A sharp glint flashed in Caesar's eyes. A sinister plan surfaced in his mind. He already knew how to choose.

[Initial talents selected: Reform to Evil, Genius Scholar, Ancient Magic of Love.]

[Note: There is no Harry in the simulation world, as the system cannot simulate the actions of the Chosen One.]

[Simulation begins. Time: Fifteen years.]

Immediately, Caesar felt his consciousness detach from his physical body, entering another world that felt both real and illusory.

[You grew up in a pure-blood wizarding family, a close relative of the famous Black Family. Because your parents supported Grindelwald, they were killed by the aftermath in the subsequent war with Dumbledore, leaving you an orphan at the age of six. After the war, you were taken in and raised by the Habs Family, renamed Caesar Habs. But the enmity of your parents is irreconcilable. To take revenge, you studied magic from dawn till dusk, yet due to limited talent, your strength stagnated upon reaching adulthood. Seeing that you couldn't achieve revenge through strength, your clever mind decided to infiltrate Hogwarts from within, seeking an opportunity for vengeance. At this time, the position of History of Magic professor at Hogwarts caught your interest. Perhaps due to your Genius Scholar aptitude, even though your magical combat power had stagnated, you possessed an extraordinary ability for critical thinking in the field of history. At eighteen, you defeated all competitors with your vast knowledge, becoming the youngest professor at Hogwarts, embarking on Caesar Habs' journey of revenge.]

[Main quest begins: As the Son of Revenge, you start your life at Hogwarts. Find a way to defeat Dumbledore and destroy Hogwarts.]

With a jolt of his spirit, Caesar felt his soul return to his body, then surveyed the scene before him.

At this moment, he was standing in Ravenclaw Tower at Hogwarts, inside the office of Ancient Magic History.

This office was steeped in a sense of accumulated time.

Tall bookshelves reached the arched ceiling, crammed with heavy tomes bound in dragonhide or the leather of unknown magical creatures. The air was thick with the scent of parchment, old ink, and a faint, preservative potion smell.

A wide desk of dark ebony wood occupied the center of the room, piled not only with mountains of scrolls but also featuring a slowly rotating astrolabe.

And a fragment of an ancient curse, sealed within a glass case, occasionally flashing a dangerous red light.

Caesar's gaze swept quickly across the desk, finally landing on a freshly opened letter stamped with the Hogwarts wax seal.

The title on it read: "Appointment..."

Putting away his letter of engagement, Caesar began to formulate his next plan.

"According to the simulation results just now, the magical potential of this current body has been developed to its limit. Rather than trying to increase my magical power, it's better to first acquire knowledge."

"Especially in the history of magic that I teach. You, Dumbledore, may be unmatched in this era, but you can't possibly be without precedent, can you? Perhaps I can find a way to defeat you in the records of those who came before."

Once decided, Caesar was always a man of action.

Having made up his mind, he immediately categorized the books in the room and arranged a schedule for reading and study.
