Unjustly Imprisoned, Unlocking the Dark Lord System

Today's weather was chillingly gloomy, with dark clouds blanketing the entire sky.

On the endless Great Sea, a strange steamship sailed unswervingly toward its destination, ignoring the waves on the water's surface.

On the wide deck, Lester wore a set of gray prisoner garb, sitting blankly on a bench with dull eyes, surrounded entirely by prisoners just like him.

Standing in front of the bench was an Auror wearing a black trench coat, holding a wand high and gesturing eloquently at Lester and the others, lecturing these inmates on how they must reform themselves and turn over a new leaf after entering prison.

Hearing the Auror's ridiculous lecture, quite a few prisoners curled their lips in disdain one after another, scoffing at his words.

The place these criminals were heading was no ordinary prison, but the most dangerous place in the entire British Wizarding World.

Azkaban!

The guards inside were not fellow wizard Aurors, but a terrifying magical creature instead, Dementors.

They often fed on the happiness of prisoners, and anyone whose happiness was sucked away by them would also be swallowed by sorrow, losing their soul entirely until they died in a daze.

While this Auror was still spouting spittle, quite a few wizards noticed Lester beside them with surprise.

Unlike this group of adult wizards, Lester looked to be only about ten years old.

With his handsome features and upright posture, even wearing dull prisoner clothes, nothing could conceal his high spirits.

It formed a sharp contrast with this group of wizard criminals who looked like their parents had just died.

Soon, the spouting Auror also noticed Lester, who clearly stood out from the surrounding criminals.

A trace of pity for the boy and dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Magic flashed through his eyes.

As an Auror, he actually knew some inside information about Lester's imprisonment.

In reality, Lester's imprisonment was entirely to take the blame for the child of a high-ranking and influential dignitary; he was nothing more than a pitiful scapegoat.

Sighing without a trace, the Auror looked at Lester with growing pity.

He wanted to do something out of his duty as an Auror, but he was merely an ordinary Auror, so what could he possibly do for this child?

At this moment, Lester in the crowd also sensed the Auror's pitying gaze, yet he didn't care about it at all.

This was because his whole person was completely dazed right now; clearly a second ago he was still fast asleep in his dorm, and in the next second he appeared on this cruise ship suspected of transporting criminals, with a weirdo in a black trench coat looking at him very strangely.

Soon, Lester, still in a dazed state, felt a pain in his head, and then a massive flood of memories poured into Lester's mind all at once.

In Lester's mind, a black screen of light was rapidly playing a movie.

The movie told the story of a little boy living in the Wizarding World who lost his parents from a young age and was abandoned at a Muggle orphanage, until just the day before, when he was inexplicably dragged here.

What the fuck. Successfully absorbing his predecessor's memories, Lester finally couldn't help but curse out loud.

He hadn't expected his predecessor's experiences to be so miserable, enough to shoot a large tear-jerking documentary.

His predecessor's parents were both Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, heroes who fought against Voldemort.

As a result, during a confrontation with Voldemort, they were brutally murdered by Death Eaters.

Lester, their only offspring, also became an orphan.

Because they sacrificed themselves for the Ministry of Magic, Lester as a hero's orphan should have enjoyed generous government policies.

As a result, because Lester was too young, this treatment was fraudulently usurped by the offspring of reigning Pure-blood nobles.

Young Lester refused to accept it, appealing several times to claim back his rights.

However, facing the powerful Pure-blood families, weak Lester was like a babbling infant, posing no threat at all.

The Pure-blood family that usurped Lester's quota casually fabricated a crime for him and then sent him into the wizard prison, Azkaban.

Because Lester was too young, and this Pure-blood family didn't believe that a ten-year-old Lester could walk out of this hell alive.

Therefore, they only sentenced Lester to a one-year term; when it was time to enter Hogwarts, Lester would be able to leave prison and enter Hogwarts to learn magic.

Of course, in the eyes of the people from this Pure-blood family, as long as Lester entered Azkaban, there would be no possibility of ever leaving prison.

After receiving all the memories of his predecessor, Lester couldn't help burning with anger.

He hadn't expected that the Ministry of Magic, which seemed fair and square in the movies, had actually decayed to this extent.

As an orphan of a hero, not only did he fail to enjoy the treatment he deserved, but he was also unjustly imprisoned.

With nowhere to appeal to heaven and no way to reach the earth, he was inexplicably brought here, without even a single person to plead his case.

At this moment, Lester finally understood the feeling of Dou E in The Injustice to Dou E; it was truly having nowhere to appeal to heaven and no way to reach the earth, leaving one with no choice but to endure it in silence!

"Clang!"

Soon, as Lester was processing his predecessor's memories, this steamship finally reached its destination, Azkaban.

Just stepping off the boat, truly setting foot on the ground of Azkaban, a chilly wind blew right toward Lester's face.

Looking up at the sky, amid the murky, gloomy expanse, there was not the slightest trait of summer.

The surrounding environment was likewise outrageously harsh, with all sorts of hard black rocks peppering every corner of the island, the land barren without vegetation for long periods, coupled with the gusts of chilly wind blowing from time to time.

Lester wanted to leave this place immediately.

Unfortunately, the heavily armed Aurors beside him quickly made Lester abandon the thought of running away.

Following the leading Auror step by step, Lester and his group soon arrived in front of a huge prison.

Along the way, countless Dementors loitered near Lester's group, revealing bloodthirsty and greedy gazes.

Fortunately, protected by the Aurors' Patronus Charm, this group of Dementors was prevented from rushing up on a killing spree.

Soon, Lester followed the Aurors into the central area of Azkaban, a massive prison.

Crossing the gloomy door of the prison, Lester officially entered the prison.

Unlike the prisons in Muggle movies from his past life, after discovering that new prisoners were coming in, the inmates of this prison didn't go wild with joy or holler at this batch of newly arrived prisoners.

Instead, they were quiet as mice, afraid of making the slightest sound that might draw the attention of the prison-guard Dementors.

And right at the instant Lester stepped into this prison, a melodious voice rang in his ear.

[Ding! Dark Lord System starting to bind!!!]
