After Harry learned that he was a wizard, he unlocked a System.
The Dark Lord Development System.
According to the System, it had been sent by a god to save Harry from a life of misery.
Harry: Then why make me the Dark Lord instead of The Chosen One?
System: Don't worry about that.
Harry: Then why did you only appear after I became a wizard?
System: Don't worry about that either.
The first step to becoming the Dark Lord is having a miserable childhood.
System: I only save you from a life of misery. Where that misery comes from is something you shouldn't worry about yet.
System: A ball? Appear, Resurrection Stone!
System: A good student? Appear, diary!
System: Artistic creation? Appear, Hufflepuff's Cup!
System: Give a speech? That's a little tricky. Hang on, let me see if I can summon my original self.
Hermione, well-versed in Muggle history: Harry, are you developing in virtue, wisdom, and fitness all at once?
Ron, his right-hand man: Doesn't seem as good as unifying the whole country.
After reading the leadership books Cho Chang brought him, Harry: What are you talking about? I'm a servant of the people. Don't go making comments like that, they're bad for unity.
Warnings:
* No outline, just a bare-bones product of writing on the fly.
* Some Tom-Sue fantasies, a white Harry and an all-powerful Harry!
* A gacha System golden finger, and resurrection may be involved (?)
* There probably won't be any romance (probably).
* A passion project.
* If it's not your thing, feel free to leave. There are countless books in the bookshop, and one of them is bound to be your cup of tea.
Anything may change before the story begins, but the core premise will stay the same.
Theme: Love is the most powerful magic of all!
