《VILLAINOUS SYSTEM : I am fated to become villain in novel》 YOU ARE REWARDED WITH SYSTEM In a planet named 51R58, a man dressed in a black coat and pants sat in a chair next to a table. He was in a magnificent room. The room was simple, yet magnificent and elegant, with a chandelier hanging above him. The man closed a book and placed it on the table, then looked toward the ceiling. Perhaps he had been reading a novel. "This story was sort of clich¨¦. I don''t know, maybe people love stories like this. I would have loved it too, if I had an ounce of humanity left," the man said. The story of a hero defeating the demon king and uniting the continents¡ªwhat a happy ending. But was it all worth it? Did the hero want it to end like this? Did he really want to fight to save the world and sacrifice everyone close to him? If not, maybe he could have lived a happy life in a small village with the people he loved. But he fought. No, he was forced to fight. He fought for the destiny that others had imposed upon him. In the end, he killed the demon villain and united the continents, but he was not happy. He wasn''t smiling. He was crying for the people he lost on the journey. So, was it all worth it? If you ask me, no, it was not. "Who am I to talk about it?" the man smirked. "I, who slaughtered more than half the population of this planet to reach this point, to conquer everything." "I ALSO LOST THEM FOR THIS FORCED DESTINY," he said with an emotionless face. Soon, a knock was heard at the door. "Come in," the man said. A servant entered the room. "Master, the Margrit family wants to meet you," the servant said. "Send them away," the man said tiredly. "But master, they''ve come for the third time in a row," the servant replied. "Did you not hear what I said, Carl?" the man asked with a smile. The servant quickly ran out of the room as fast as he could. "What happened to me? Why have I become so generous? If it were my normal self, I would have killed him." "Maybe I''m just tired. Maybe." "I think I need to sleep for a while, but I have to meet my heirs. It''s fine. This will help them be more patient." He slept in the dim light of the chandelier. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a bed instead of the chair. There was no chandelier above him, and the ceiling was glowing brightly. "How am I lying on a bed instead of the chair?" he thought to himself. Then he fell back asleep, saying, "I''m too tired to think about it." After some time, he woke up to some noise. He saw two people standing next to him¡ªone was a man, and the other was a woman. They were talking to him very affectionately. "How dare they talk to me like this? Execute them, Carl!" he was furious, but he couldn''t say the words. Instead, he mumbled like a baby. "Aww, what''s my baby saying?" said the woman, while picking him up. When he looked at his body, which was now as small as a baby, he screamed as loudly as he could. When he screamed, the baby began to cry. "Why are you crying, William?" The woman''s voice was soft, almost a whisper, filled with warmth and affection. To soothe him, she began to sing a lullaby, her voice gentle and tender. To her surprise, the baby quieted, his tiny eyelids fluttering shut as he fell asleep. Carefully, she placed him in the cradle, as if the world might shatter if she were too rough. "Don''t worry too much, he will be alright" the man next to her said to comfort her. I know but he suddenly became extremely sick, the women expressed her concerns while her gaze fixed on the baby with such overwhelming love that it made the man''s heart ache. Without another word, they quietly left the room, as though not wishing to disturb the fragile peace around the child. "I want to create a world where we can both live happily, forever, without suffering, without pain. A life full of joy, without fear," a boy said, his voice trembling with emotion as he held the girl''s hand. Her eyes were hidden by her bangs, but there was no doubt¡ªshe was as beautiful as a lily in full bloom. She didn''t speak, but the smile on her face was all the answer he needed. It was enough.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. And then, in the blink of an eye, time twisted. The boy grew up in an instant, the world around him fading away. The scene shifted, replaced by the sharp sounds of voices calling out to him. "Brother, why are you standing here all alone?" a group of four boys asked, their voices filled with concern. "Are you thinking about your family?" The first boy, who looked older than his years, asked, his tone serious yet compassionate. "Shut up," another boy interrupted, playfully pinching him. "Ouch!" The boy yelped, rubbing the spot where he''d been pinched. "Don''t be sad, brother," said the third boy, his voice soft but firm. "We''ve all lost someone close to us. But we''ll never leave you. We''ll stand by you, even if we have to face hell itself." The boy smiled, though the sadness in his eyes never faded. "Do you want me to go to hell?" he teased, but it wasn''t really funny. And for a moment, the group was quiet, then all of them laughed¡ªa bittersweet sound that seemed to carry their shared sorrow. Suddenly, the laughter vanished. The air grew thick with the stench of blood, and the world around them turned dark, oppressive. The boy¡ªnow a man, tall and strong¡ªlooked down in shock. His heart stopped when he saw the bodies of the boys and the girl, their lifeless forms lying in a pool of blood. He looked down at himself, his clothes soaked in crimson. He could feel it, the weight of their blood staining his very soul. A cold, eerie chill gripped his heart as he saw the pistol clutched in his left hand. Then a knock, sharp and insistent¡ªthuck, thuck¡ªripped him from his thoughts. "Come in," he answered, his voice a mere rasp, as though the weight of everything was too much for him to bear. The door opened, and a man entered¡ªCarl, dressed in a sharp three-piece suit. "Master," Carl said, his voice steady but his eyes flickering nervously, "all the traitors... they''ve been executed." His words hung in the air, heavy with a fear he couldn''t hide. "Is... is that all, sir?" The man''s gaze drifted to the ceiling, his bangs shadowing his eyes, hiding the raw pain behind them. "Traitors, huh¡­ yes, traitors," he whispered, his voice breaking with the grief he could no longer contain. Tears began to fall, slow at first, but then they rushed like a flood¡ªtears that couldn''t be stopped, as if they had been building up for an eternity. The baby suddenly stirred, waking with a start. His heart pounded, the strange sense of dread suffocating him. Why am I dreaming about that¡­ after all this time? The thought hit him like a blow. It feels like a curse. A memory that refuses to fade. "Why am I still here?" His mind was spinning in confusion. "Was it not just a dream?" His eyes darted around, trying to make sense of the world around him. Is this a lucid dream? he wondered. I know I''m dreaming¡­ but I can''t control it, not like I should in a lucid dream. So then¡­ what is this? The confusion gnawed at him, unrelenting. The faces of the figures from before flashed in his mind. "A face as clear as crystal, pale as snow, with hair like golden morning rays and eyes as deep and blue as the ocean," he whispered, the description coming to him with a sense of inevitability. Her features are as same as male lead''s mother described in novel maybe it was the mother of the male lead in the novel. "And hair like silver, eyes as green as jade, with skin so pale¡ªlike a porcelain doll. The mark of the Marquis Medici''s family," he added, his voice trembling. The man next to her was same as the father of the male lead, which was described in the novel. It can''t be a coincidence. His mind screamed. I''m in a novel¡­ but how? And if I''m in a baby''s body, where did I go? What happened to my world? He could feel his thoughts spiraling. Did our bodies swap? Am I in William''s body? What about him? Is he in mine? The questions piled on top of each other, crushing him under their weight. He looked down at the tiny hands of the baby and asked himself: Why am I here? Why was I summoned? His heart beat faster, as if trying to escape from the cage of confusion and fear. Do I have to follow William''s destiny? Is fate really this cruel? Will I suffer again, just so it can watch me writhe in agony? "Why must I suffer?" The words burst from him, raw and desperate. Why must I be a puppet for a fate I didn''t choose? And then, like a whisper from the past, the voice of the girl echoed in his mind: "Live for yourself." It was as if a weight had been lifted from his chest. Live for myself, he thought, feeling the warmth of that resolve settle deep in his bones. "I will return to my world, no matter what. Even if I have to destroy this world, or this entire universe¡­ I WILL RETURN TO MY WORLD." His voice was steady now, unwavering, though the fire of his determination burned in every syllable. "I will not be a pawn in this game of destiny. I will break free, even if I have to destroy fate itself." "I promised someone¡­ I promised I would live for myself." The words were simple, but they held the weight of everything. The promise he had made to himself, to the person who had believed in him. DING!. He suddenly heard a noise , he was thinking what is this noise . He was still trying to find out the source of this noice .When he heard another noise. And saw something in front of him. [DING! ?

THE VARIABLE WILL BE ABLE TO SENSE EVIL NATURE AND HOSTILITY ? THE VARIABLE WILL BE ABLE TO USE ESSENCE OF CORRUPTION. ? THE VARIABLE CAN CHOOSE ANY OF THE ABOVE SYSTEMS.] It was a window screen in front of him. I WILL CALL YOU WIZ When he saw the window screen in front of him, he was surprised and thought to himself, Is this really the same as the window screen in novels and games? But why is it here? Does it have any relation to me being summoned here? If it does, it must also know how I can escape from this novel. So the only way to find out is to choose one of the systems. He was quiet and lost in thought for a moment, but then he smiled with a large grin when he looked at the window screen: [? THE VARIABLE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD ALONG WITH HIMSELF] So, the system wants me to destroy everything. This is indeed exciting. And this must be related to my escape from this novel. "If this world wants me as its villain, so be it. Heroes die forgotten, but villains... their legacies burn forever." His tiny hands were shaking, not from fear or cold, but from excitement. He chose the villainous system. Then another window appeared: [DING! DO YOU REALLY WANT TO CHOOSE THE VILLAINOUS SYSTEM? IT WILL DESTROY YOU ALONGSIDE THIS WORLD. IT WILL KILL YOU. YES / NO] He smiled and touched [YES]. After that, the window started to behave weirdly. Its color changed from blue to blood red, and a series of errors and bugs started to appear. [DING! DING! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! DING!] Text started to appear on the window screen: [DING! THIS IS INDEED EXPECTED FROM A PERSON WHO HAS NEARLY DESTROYED HIS PLANET. "MR. ###$#%"] STATUS WINDOW NAME: WILLIAM MEDICI LEVEL: 0 RACE: HUMAN AGE: 6 MONTHS STATS HP: 10/10 ESSENCE: 0/0 STRENGTH: 1 AGILITY: 1 INTELLIGENCE: 180 DURABILITY: 1 ? WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THE SPECIAL ABILITIES? YES / NO William was shocked and puzzled to see how much the status window knew about him. Even his real name. William noticed that the status window was exactly like a game. He was not surprised to see his stats points so low, but he was thinking about his intelligence points, which were 180. My intelligence points being 180 must relate to my mental powers. It aligns perfectly with my IQ. When William saw the next option, he was curious about his abilities, so he clicked on YES. [DING! ABILITIES: ABSORPTION GLUTTONY THIRD EYE WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO EXPLAIN THE ABILITIES? YES / NO] Absorption, Gluttony, and Third Eye... these are additional abilities, different from the essence of corruption. Do they have the same effect as I think they do? With this, WILLIAM CLICKED ON YES. The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.[ABSORPTION: THROUGH THIS, YOU CAN ABSORB THE SKILL OF THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE KILLED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BUT REMEMBER, THE LEVEL OF THE SKILL MUST BE LESS THAN YOURS. GLUTTONY: THROUGH THIS, YOU CAN ABSORB A PORTION OF THE STATS OF THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE KILLED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. THIRD EYE: WITH THIS, YOU CAN SEE THE STATUS WINDOW OF THE PEOPLE YOU USE THIS ABILITY ON.] [WITH THIS, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT. YOU CAN EVEN DESTROY THIS WHOLE WORLD. BUT... YOU HAVE TO ENTERTAIN THE SYSTEM. |^_^|] "As you wish, your majesty," William said to the system. "But how can I entertain you? As you know, I am no more than a mere mortal. How can I entertain your excellency?" The system found William''s way of speaking intriguing and laughed. [HAHA, HAHA, HAHA, HAHA KEEP ME FROM GETTING BORED WITH THAT INTERESTING AND CHAOTIC MIND OF YOURS. SHOW ME CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION. I CAN SENSE CHAOS, DESTRUCTION, RUTHLESSNESS BEHIND THAT KIND AND INNOCENT FACE OF YOURS. (????)] "Let me guess. If I am unable to entertain you, I will die, right?" William asked the system. [OH MY! SUCH A SMALL PRICE FOR MY AMUSEMENT. BUT DON''T WORRY, ENTERTAINMENT SEEMS TO BE YOUR NATURAL TALENT. |^_^|] "Please, be my guest, your majesty," William said to the system. "But I can''t always call you ''system'' or ''your majesty.'' Don''t you think you should tell me your name?" [DING! I DON''T HAVE A NAME.] "Well, that''s too bad. Why don''t I give you a name? I will call you ''Wiz.''" [IT''S NOT BAD, BUT HOW DARE A MORTAL CALL ME BY A NICKNAME. :(] "Don''t be stingy, Wiz. It''s actually a really charming name for a charming¡­ whatever you are." [DON''T CALL ME THAT. (¨s¡ã¡õ¡ã)¨s¦à ©ß©¥©ß] The status window turned off. Before the status window could complete its sentence, William turned off the status window. "Wow, it actually works." William was lying in his cradle. He raised his tiny hand to shade himself from the light reflecting from the ceiling. "Wiz, answer me," William called for the status window. [DING! DIDN''T I TELL YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT? HUH¡­ YOU KNOW I CAN KILL YOU, RIGHT?] "I know, but you wouldn''t kill me because only I can entertain you. [TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU WANT?] "How can I escape from here?" [YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND OUT YOURSELF.] "So escape is possible. Care to give me a hint?" [DING! WHERE''S THE FUN IN THAT? AND IT WILL BE BORING IF YOU KNOW TOO MUCH.] "Tell me, Wiz, who created you and what is your purpose?" [THAT IS AN AMAZING QUESTION, AND ITS ANSWER IS... DRUM ROLL! I AM NOT TELLING YOU. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT MY PURPOSE IS TO MAKE YOURS AND MINE LIFE ENTERTAINING.] "Okay, Wiz, now tell me, who summoned me?" William asked calmly. [DING! I AM NOT ALLOWED TO TELL YOU THAT.] "So there really is someone who summoned me here?" [WHO KNOWS.] William smiled and said, "All I need to do is kill the one who summoned me here to escape from this fate and world. Right?" [HA HA HA HA INTERESTING, INTERESTING. IT WAS NOT A MISTAKE TO CHOOSE YOU AS MY HOST, WILLIAM DE'' MEDICI.] Their conversation was interrupted when the sound of a door opening was heard. A number of maids entered the room, wearing elegant and neat uniforms. The maids gently picked William up. They washed him and changed his clothes. William noticed that all of them were fully trained and elegant, but among them, one maid was exceptionally noble. She emitted an aura of nobility, as if she were a noble. All the present maids obeyed her. "The only servant I remember William having who was noble also was his nanny, Alice de'' Mowbray. She is the baroness of the Mowbray barony. Despite being a barony, the Mowbrays have quite an influence on the capital''s finances. And the baroness of Mowbray being my nanny shows how influential the Medici family is." [HA HA HA HA IT IS THE PRIVILEGE YOU GET WHEN YOU''RE BORN INTO A WEALTHY FAMILY.] When Wiz appeared in front of William, the maid didn''t show any reaction, as if they couldn''t see him. William smiled, "So, only I can see Wiz." Suddenly, William noticed something and told Wiz to use Third Eye. When Third Eye was activated, he saw the status window of the maids. There were a total of 5 maids whose levels were between 20 and 30. And Baroness Mowbray, being a noble lady, had a level of only 10. William was surprised and excited to see their levels. "So even the levels of Medici family''s normal maids are so high." William remembered that, other than the normal maids, there were the upper maids who guarded the Marchioness of Medici family, his mother. The upper maids'' levels were at least between 40 and 50. There were a total of 10 of them. Suddenly, the door opened, and a woman entered the room. It was William''s mother. When she entered, every maid in the room bowed in respect. "Welcome, my lady," Baroness Mowbray welcomed her. "How is he feeling?" She inquired about William''s health. "Young master is well today. He doesn''t have a cold or fever," William''s mother smiled when she heard that. That smile was full of affection. She then came near to William. When William saw her, he raised his hands as if telling her to pick him up. "Do you want to go out with Mommy, William?" she asked. She picked him up and took him out of the room. William smiled with a grin. "Enjoy the show, Wiz," William said to Wiz. Wiz laughed menacingly, and a large grin appeared on its red screen. [HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA AHAHA!]
