《Transmigrated as Villain With Stealing System》 Ch.1 Disappointing Edit In a field filled with corpses of various humans and demons, a man with white hair can be seen slowly rising from the ground. While his features were tough to discern due to him being covered in blood, one could recognize an ecstatic smile on his face which made him look even more eerier. "HAHAHAHA! I am back, now I can finally get my revenge on all of them!" The smile slowly turned into maniac laughter as he voiced his insane thoughts while looking around searching for someone. "What have you done?" "There you are, now I can finally take revenge starting with you!" A masked man with black hair entered the corpse-ridden field with a horrified look in his eyes as he slowly realised what had transpired here. The white-haired man looked at him with anger and excitement as he finally got to start his ultimate goal. "Let me first show you how worse I can get." With a huge smile on his face which made him look even creepier, he slowly kneeled and touched the ground which was filled with blood and guts. "Don''t tell me, you didn''t!" As the masked man realised what the other man had done, he immediately pulled out his sword but realised it was too late. "Devour!" Ignoring the masked man running towards him, he chanted a spell which made a rune appear which covered the whole corpse-ridden field. As the rune lightened up, the corpses and the blood on the field started to suck inside the middle of the rune which was placed under his hand. "Stop Lu-" Just before the masked man''s sword could reach his neck, bloody armour fully covered his body while a black goat horn appeared on his head. "It''s too late now! HAHAHAHAHA!" "No, no, no, no, this shouldn''t be happening." The masked man looked at him with a confused and horrified look as he slowly realised what transpired here was something worse than he expected.

With a speed that couldn''t be seen by naked eyes, he picked the masked man by his throat and threw him far away from him. Crashing into the trees which were at the edge of the field, his momentum stopped but he couldn''t get up due to the stuff that transpired in front of him. "Hey get up!" With an annoyed look in his eyes, he looked towards the man who was lying on the ground while looking at him with a weird gaze with no intention of getting up. What was even more surprising was his clothes which suffered no tear from that attack as he was totally unscathed. "Stop looking like that and fight me properly, you bastard!" With an angry voice, he focused on his back as wings appeared behind him which seemed to be made from bones while blood and guts spilled from it on the ground. Flying up as high as he could, which was almost reaching the clouds, he started to accelerate downwards with the target being the masked man. "Let''s see how you survive this." With an excited voice, he looked towards the masked man who was still looking at him with a weird gaze in his eyes which seemed to annoy him even further. "Take this seriously for fuck sakes!" Just as his fist was about to touch his head, a metallic sound was heard as the dust started to rise clouding the visibility around them. THANKS FOR WATCHING AND BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE ANIME EDITS. AND BE SURE TO CHECK THE PART 2. "Man, you can''t just end it at the best moments." A red-haired man looked at his phone while sighing from frustration after watching the whole edit. He almost thought about sending negative comments due to this part 2 bullshit that this channel did. "Whatever, it''s not worth wasting my energy on it and they are already doing it for me." But calmed down immediately and instead started to look for a certain comment in the comment section which was filled with various negative comments towards the edit. "Finally here it is." With a smile, he found the comment which he was looking for which was just one word and various replies under it. ''Name?'' "The fuck is the name?" He couldn''t help but be surprised after seeing the replies which mentioned the name of the anime which was ''The story about how I got revenge on those who looked down on me and defeated the demon king with the help of various heroines around the world who loved me a lot.'' "Brother might as well just tell the whole story in the title next time." "Oh my bad, you already did that." He couldn''t help but shout in frustration which garnered him various looks from the people around him on the street. ''Ah, shit, whatever will check it out next time but let''s get out of here first.'' Feeling a bit embarrassed from various gazes towards him which were not due to his unique hair colour but instead his outburst, he couldn''t help but want to get out of there quickly. ''Damn, that''s sweet.'' As he was getting out of the street, he couldn''t help but notice a couple with a little girl between them as they bought her various stuff she wanted to eat. Suddenly he let out a bitter smile, while also feeling a bit disgusted with himself after the childish thought which appeared in his mind after seeing that family. ''Can''t believe I am getting jealous of a kid, man.'' Shaking his head, he turned his gaze away from the family and started walking towards the shop where he was supposed to meet his friends. But he couldn''t help stopping in his path as he suddenly heard a mechanical voice in his head. [Conditions Achieved!] [Transmigration Activating!] "The fuck?" Before he could process what even happened, his vision slowly started to darken and he felt his body falling and seconds later, he lost consciousness. Ch.2 Loading "Huh? Where am I?" The red-haired man opened his eyes to find himself in a luxurious room instead of the street he was standing in a few moments ago. ''Damn, this bed is so soft.'' As he tried to move around to survey his surroundings, he found himself lying on a bed which was too big for a single person and looked pretty expensive. ''Not just the bed, it''s almost everything in the room.'' Looking around more, he found various items that seemed premium and expensive, but what surprised him even more was something else. "There''s no modern technology in this room but how?" He couldn''t help but mumble in surprise as even though he couldn''t find any light bulb, he could feel the whole room being illuminated somehow not to mention the temperature instead of the room. Not to mention, the furniture inside the room had an antique vibe, which was pretty rare for where he lived. ''Could it be due to the weather around the area? And the owner of the house''s taste is probably unique.'' That was the only logical conclusion he could come to when he once again heard that mechanical voice in his head. [Finally, you are awake, I was waiting for you for ages.] "Huh? Have I finally gone insane enough to hear weird voices in my head? Man, that''s unlucky." "Or could just be a dream, yup it''s that." Feeling overwhelmed by the whole new surroundings, the mechanical voice he just heard and a weird feeling of his sense of vision getting smaller, he decided to rest in bed to clear up his mind. ''But man, it''s so soft.'' [Oi, don''t fall asleep on me. We still have many things to discuss and no, it''s not a dream.] "Oh really? So can you explain everything for now?" Instead of trying to figure out what exactly was going on, he decided to ask the mechanical voice instead as it seemed to know much more than himself. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. [So basically you have been transmigrated into another world due to the conditions being fulfilled.] "So that explains everything and let me guess, it''s a magical world?" [Yup you are right, ain''t it pretty cool?] Looking around the room, he could finally find the reasons for the weird phenomenon he noticed and why the room was filled with antique furniture. "Yup pretty cool, and all this stuff in the room looks pretty expensive too." [Oh pretty perceptive, but yup all these stuff are expensive because you have been transmitted into the body of a child of a noble family.] "Damn, so that''s why." Realising what happened, he looked down to see his hands which were much smaller than usual and without any calluses. [Hey no need to feel sad, as I am sure you will have fun in this new life of yours.] "Huh? Who is sad?" He was surprised to hear what that mechanical voice had said as all he could feel right now was happiness with no trace of sadness on his face. "I am now in a new and young body while being rich? Like I couldn''t ask for anything more." A huge smile formed on his face as he said that, while lightly pinching his cheek as he still couldn''t believe it had happened. "And I would get some overpowered stuff like all those anime too right?" [Oh that''s good to hear that you have adapted pretty quickly to your new life and for the overpowered stuff, well I guess we will know soon.] "Hmm? What do you mean by that?" He asked in a surprised voice as he felt that even the mechanical voice was clueless about the stuff he''s gonna get, which is usually different from all the anime he had seen. [Your system is still loading so we will know what you exactly got once it''s finished and for now, you can only use analysis skills.] "But how are you talking if the system is not finished?" [Good question, but I don''t know.] "What?" He couldn''t help but voice out his surprise loudly after hearing what it said and almost thought he heard it wrong. [As I said, even I don''t know as I have been sent here with specific instructions and I am just following that while anything that is outside of that, is something I don''t have any knowledge about.] "You are one system for sure." He couldn''t help but rub his forehead in a bit of frustration as he kept getting answers which were unexpected. ''Well worrying about it will not help me much, let''s look around for now.'' After deciding that, he got out of bed to search for a mirror to see his new appearance. "Can you tell me how much loading is done?" He decided to ask about one of the leads he had right now when suddenly a blue screen appeared in the corner of his vision. [Loading:- 5%] ''Kind of slow but will take anything right now.'' He couldn''t help but shake his head in frustration when he heard the mechanical voice again. [Also you can just tell me what you want without voicing it in your mind and I will hear it but remember to specify it''s toward me.] "Oh, that''s a pretty good feature and the specific thing is for privacy?" [Yup that''s right.] "Damn, that''s a pretty good feature and one of the few good things about you." [I will focus on the first part only and thanks for the compliment.] He couldn''t help but laugh at its cheekiness but he kind of liked it as it added more personality to it. ''Oh found it.'' After searching for a while, he finally found an arm-length mirror inside the drawer next to his bed and looking inside it, he could see a face much younger than he used to have a few moments ago. "Wait, that''s just me but younger?" Ch.3 Whats my name? He lightly tapped the mirror and once again looked at it to confirm that what he was seeing was correct. But even after that nothing changed and it was the same face he saw earlier. Which was his face when he was much younger which was pretty unique due to his red hair and eyes. ''Hey, you sure I just didn''t travel back in time or something?'' Even though he knew that was a dumb question as he had never seen this room ever in his life, there''s no other reason why he looked like his younger self. [That''s weird? As you were supposed to be transmigrated into the body of ??????? So your appearance should have been different.] ''Wait, can you repeat the name?'' [It''s ??????? But what happened?] Thinking he heard the name wrong, he decided to ask it again but once again he realised that it was just static sounds instead of any name he could recognize. ''Something is interfering? Also, why can''t I remember that too?'' He realised that something was stopping him from realising his new name. So he decided to go with his old name but surprisingly he couldn''t remember it all. Even though every other memory of his past life was still intact, he still couldn''t seem to remember his name. ''What is even going on? Hey, why can''t I hear the name you are saying and why can''t I remember my previous life name?'' [Huh? What are you talking about?] Surprisingly he could hear confusion in that mechanical voice which surprised him. As he was almost sure that it was the voice that was messing with his mind but realised it was something else, it made him even more confused. [That''s weird as I don''t think I had expected something like that happening but you should be able to know the name of your new body though.] ''Huh? I don''t think so as I can''t remember my name at all and as I said, this body is just my younger self.'' [Weird, you should be able to tell as you were chosen after you had finished that.] Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. ''What exactly are you talking about?'' The more it talked about something, the more it got him confused as it didn''t match up with anything he did. ''Don''t tell me-'' And just before he can come to the conclusion he formed, he already got the answer to it. [You have completed ''The story about how I got revenge on those who looked down on me and defeated the demon king with the help of various heroines around the world who loved me a lot.'' right?] And the worst thing he predicted came true. "First that still sounds weird for a title and second, you guys got the wrong guy as I only have just watched a shitty edit of this show." Feeling a bit frustrated from the situation he was in, he couldn''t help but voice out his thoughts this time. [That''s- Wait, give me a few minutes.] Instead of sitting around while waiting for his answer, he first decided to put down the mirror and look outside to see what kind of world he was in. Coincidentally, there was a window towards the right side of his room so he decided to assess the outside situation from that. ''At least it''s early in the morning but damn this house is big.'' Looking outside, he could see a big garden in the territory he was in with a wall acting as a border from outside. And another peculiar thing he found was there was not just one sun but two suns rising. ''So it''s not Earth but why is it my old body tho.'' Before he could further find anything that could help him solve this mystery, he once again heard the mechanical voice. [I think we might have made a mistake.] ''Ohh! So I guess you guys will send me back?'' He couldn''t help but ask the most important question he had in his mind but luckily it gave the answer he wanted to hear. [Sadly we cannot do that but now the situation is going to be even tougher due to lack of future knowledge.] "Let''s fucking go, baby!" [Huh?] Ignoring the mechanical voice''s confusion, he let out a cheer as he didn''t have to go back to his old life of his which was just filled with suffering. Instead, he was now his old self in a rich family. [I think you heard-] ''Don''t worry, I heard what you said and it''s just what I wanted.'' And for the problems due to the lack of future knowledge? Well, I will do something about it.'' He decided not to fret over that problem as he thought that it was going to be the same as most Isekai anime he had watched. [If you say so, I would also recommend using analysis on yourself for some clues.] Realising that''s not a bad suggestion, he decided to use analysis on himself which made him more confused about himself. [Name - ??????? (????) Race - Human, ???? (Sealed) Profession - ???? Noble Attributes - (Can''t be viewed right now) Skills - (Can''t be viewed right now)] ''There''s nothing useful at all, and there''s a second race?'' [Looks like you have to wait for the system update to complete to unlock all the features available.] ''Hey at least tell me about this sealed race thing?'' Instead of waiting for the update to finish, he decided to ask the most important question he had on his mind. [Sadly I can''t tell you, as giving any story spoilers is prohibited.] ''So you know the future?'' Hearing that, he realised that there might be one way he could lower the difficulty that mechanical voice talked about earlier. [Yup but it''s prohibited to tell you any of that. So I would recommend you to not have any expectations.] ''Is there nothing you can tell? Any hints?'' [Wait there''s one thing I can tell, it''s that you are a villain that is supposed to die.] "HUH???????" He realised the new life was not as good as he thought it was. Ch.4 Maid ''If I am a villain from that anime then am I that white hair dude?'' The first that came to his mind was the white hair dude who was in that edit but there was just one simple problem. His hair is not the same color as that man and not to mention the eyes, where his was red while that man was fully black. ''But being a demon can explain the eye while the hair colour can change due to that transformation too.'' Realising that there''s always that possibility, he slowly pieced together what the other race he was. *knock knock* His thoughts were halted when he suddenly heard the sound of a door knocking. But instead of opening the door, he decided to ask one of the important questions he had to the mechanical voice. ''Hey, am I not going to get the memory of this body?'' Right now, he simply couldn''t interact with another person as being caught possessing the old body is high. ''Not to mention, there are demons and magic in the world so can''t risk it.'' [The memories will be provided once the loading is completed as immediately giving it right now can put your mind in danger.] ''Alright, but any ideas on how to deal with the person outside?'' Realising that it was due to his own safety, he decided to move past that topic for now and asked for help from the voice. [Communicating with that person helps the best.] "Wow, aren''t you the smartest?" He voiced his thoughts after hearing the answer he got from the voice, which was also heard by the person outside the room. [Thanks for the compliment.] "Did something happen, young master?" Hearing the girlish voice from the outside and the way she called him, he realised it was his maid. Ignoring the mechanical voice for now, he decided to answer back to the maid as that was the only way to get through it. Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. "Did I permit you to speak? Anyway wait there till I tell you to come inside." ''Huh?'' Instead of saying to wait outside for a bit to the maid, his mouth moved involuntarily and changed his words to something worse. [You could be less rude, as being a villain doesn''t mean to act like that.] ''Hey, that was not intentional but something happened automatically.'' Realising the words that he said to the maid, he got worried about being caught. "Sorry¡­ Young master." Instead of hearing doubts, he heard a downcast voice from the maid outside which seemed to signify that it was how this old body spoke with her. ''Hey is this how the old body used to speak?'' [Sorry I can''t tell you that as any info about that is forbidden and you will know that soon enough once you gain back your memory.] ''Man¡­ but her reaction at least gives me some affirmation.'' Even though he didn''t get the answer he wanted from the system, he decided to test if his hypothesis was true or not. But first he decided to close his windows and go back to bed, as looking at his thin and unathletic body he guessed the old body was a lazy person. "Come in." Instead of the soft voice, he was aiming for, he told her that in a rude tone. Realising that he can''t control how he voice his words out in any way, he decided to give up on that and focus on the person entering his room. A small girl who looked to be a teen entered the room, what stood out from her was her green hair which reached her shoulder and the fear in her eyes as she looked towards him. And he realised that he was right about her being a maid as she wore what seemed like the traditional maid outfit in those fantasy anime. "So what did you come here for? And remember to wait silently outside next time unless I tell you to come in." Even though he realised what he said was dumb, he moved past it and decided to use analysis on her to get some information. "I-I am sorry young master, and I w-will be careful next time." With stuttering and a little bit of tears forming around her eyes, she deeply bowed her head in anguish. But he couldn''t focus on her apology as what he saw in her status genuinely terrified him. [Name - Mia (???) Race - Human Profession - Maid, Assassin Attributes - (Can''t be viewed right now) Skills - (Can''t be viewed right now)] ''She is an assassin? Holy she is good at acting like a terrified girl.'' He looked at her pitiful self which aroused a sense of protection from inside of him. Realising what kind of thoughts he had, he couldn''t help feeling a chill as even after knowing her true identity, her acting was so good that he almost got fooled. Suddenly the girl looked down at the ground and bowed even further. ''Let''s go along with her acting for now.'' "Stop that as it''s disgusting." He felt even more annoyed as even after knowing her true identity, this body can''t stop being rude at all. While the girl raised her head slowly after hearing his words, what surprised him was the smile on her face which seemed genuine. ''Holy, she would easily receive an Oscar for that level of acting.'' "Anyway, tell me what you came here for and then get out." This time he voiced those thoughts instead of being controlled by unknown powers to speak rudely, as he didn''t feel like staying in a room alone with that girl. ''At least she doesn''t seem angry at my rudeness but can''t even tell with her acting.'' "The master and mistress have invited you for the family breakfast, as the young mistress is finally back from her training." She said, bowing her head and slowly backing away towards the gate. "Alright then, tell them I will be there so now go away." "Hai!" With a smile on her face, while still having a bit of tears in her eyes, she went out of the room and closed the door. Ch.5 Family ''Holy, can''t I just get a break and live a simple life in a new world.'' He was already annoyed due to his lack of memory, but now, with an assassin maid who most likely didn''t like him, it annoyed him even further. ''And can''t you just give me some hints about her?'' [Sorry I can''t do that.] ''You know I can die without knowing something and you will too? Maybe?'' Instead of trying to force the mechanical voice, he negotiated with it thinking it might produce some results. [Still can''t and yes I will die if you die but I will be terminated if I leak any information.] ''Man¡­'' He couldn''t help but scratch his index finger with his thumb in annoyance due to everything that was happening. [You are bleeding due to that, so I would recommend stopping that.] ''I know, it''s just something I do when I am anxious.'' He said while looking at his bleeding finger with a curious gaze. But suddenly he couldn''t help but blurt out a curse when he realised he had done something dumb. "Fuck, I forgot to ask her my name." [Oh yeah, that would have helped in knowing your identity but you can always ask later.] ''That''s true, anyway let''s go to the family breakfast and see how my new family is.'' Deciding to be worried about it later, he got up from his bed and started to look for clothes to wear to meet his new family. ''But that is still something new.'' He looked at the two suns in the sky and couldn''t help but slowly realise that he was truly in another world. A world which was filled with various dangers due to so many unknown things. ''Got one.'' He found simple clothes which still looked pretty good and decided to go with them. x¡ªx Wearing the new clothes which he found pretty comfortable, he decided to go towards the area where his family was eating. This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. ''This body isn''t built for fighting, but being a noble explains that.'' He couldn''t help but sigh due to the new body he was in, as while changing his clothes he couldn''t help but notice a lack of muscles in his body. ''Oh well, I can always gain some muscles as I have enough money to get all the nutrition.'' His family being well-off further solidified the various paintings and vases placed around the house. While also having many maids and butlers taking care of the house. But something that surprised him was the terrified look that each of the maids or butlers had while looking at him. ''Man, he was already a piece of shit.'' Looking at those terrified gazes, he couldn''t help but worry about the upcoming family event and how he was gonna act with them. But before worrying about that, he realised something else he forgot to ask Mei. ''Where even are they? Hey, you know?'' [Good question but sadly I can''t answer it.] ''It was not even worth asking you, let me try one of the maids or butlers.'' But the moment he looked towards any of them, they shrieked in fear and started to walk away from him. "Man¡­ really?" He couldn''t help but sigh in frustration and not wanting to deal with any of them, he decided to just look around for the place himself. While looking around the place, he realised the house was even bigger than he expected as he walked in one direction for minutes now and there were no signs of rooms being ending. What he didn''t notice was the blood slowly flowing from his finger and acting as a trail. "Finally!" While walking for a few more minutes, he could hear some happy voice which made him realise that it was most likely his new family. ''Hope at least this guy is less rude to them.'' Praying for a much more peaceful time, he entered the room without knocking and saw four people sitting on the dinner chair with a table of six. ''Analyze.'' He decided to observe them one by one while walking towards the empty seat next to the guy who seemed like his older brother due to the same hair colour as him while looking around to be in his 20s. First the blonde guy, he analyzed the man who most likely seemed to be his father who was looking at him with a warm gaze with a stoic face. [Name - Ansell Honorcrag (??????) Race - Human, ???? Profession - Noble, ???? Attributes - (Can''t be viewed right now) Skills - (Can''t be viewed right now)] ''So it''s Honorcrag family.'' Ignoring the question mark which piqued his curiosity, he looked at the woman next to him who was most likely his mother who looked at him with a sweet smile. [Name - Edelin Honorcrag (??????) Race - Human, ???? (Sealed) Profession - Noble, Healer Attributes - (Can''t be viewed right now) Skills - (Can''t be viewed right now)] He had some thoughts about the sealed race but the healer profession was too conflicting for him to make any conclusion yet. After her, he looked towards the girl who seemed younger than him who was looking at him while pouting which made her look even cuter. "Hmph!" ''Not to mention that hair.'' What further enhanced her cuteness was her dual hair colour which was red on one side and blonde on the other. ''Most likely my younger sister.'' [Name - Mariel Honorcrag Race - Human, ????? (Sealed) Profession - Noble, Swordsman Attributes - (Can''t be viewed right now) Skills - (Can''t be viewed right now)] ''What is this family even?'' The questions which were in the room, have started to grow larger in amount for each time he used to analyze someone. Sitting down, he finally looked towards his older brother who was looking at him with a simple smile on his face. [Name - Reinhold Honorcrag Race - Human Profession - Noble, Swordmaster Attributes - (Can''t be viewed right now) Skills - (Can''t be viewed right now)] "Huh?" "Something happened?" "Oh, nothing." ''What the?'' First, he was surprised at the Race of Reinhold which seemed most normal and then the way he talked which was normally how he talks. Ch.6 Bleeding Hand After sitting on the chair with nothing to do as the food was still not there, he looked around the room slightly to find the same illumination and cooling mechanic he had in his room earlier. And also a window with an elaborate design on it which further signifies how well off the family was. ''Hey, how much time has passed since I have woken up?'' He couldn''t help but wonder about that as he looked towards the two suns in the sky. [It''s been around 35 minutes since you have woken up.] ''And can you tell me how many hours there are in a day in this world?'' [Sure, and it''s the same as your previous world which is 24 hours.] Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by someone coughing and looking towards it. He saw his father looking at everyone with a warm gaze and then looking towards Mariel at the end. Which seemed to make her a bit stiff then suddenly she looked at him with a nervous expression. ''Did I do something?'' He couldn''t help but wonder due to the way Mariel was looking towards him but decided not to worry about it much for now. ''Not like I can do anything to change it either way.'' "Now that everyone is here, let''s hear what Mariel has achieved after training with her teacher." At first, she looked a bit nervous but after taking a deep breath, she said what she wanted in a bit childish voice. "My aura has reached the third layer and I should be able to reach the fourth layer in a year too." Even though it looked like a great achievement due to the big smile present on his brother and father''s face, and his mother''s proud expression. She looked at him nervously with a bit of fear in her gaze which he found a bit surprising. ''Is it an inferiority complex from my side.'' That''s the only conclusion he could reach after looking at his frail body that he had and the things she achieved. "Aww, I am so proud of you and see I told you that Isabel is the best teacher for her." Edelin hugged her with affection while lightly arguing with Ansell which didn''t seem serious due to the smile on their face. If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "You can''t fault me for that as she is a bit eccen- unique but I am glad that she helped our daughter a lot." Shaking his head with a smile, he lightly patted Mariel''s head with affection. "Good Job." Reinhold looked at her with a proud gaze and light nodded towards her. "Reinhold, you can say more to her." Edelin said while shaking her head. "But I guess you two brothers have taken too much of your father''s qualities, you two need to be more like me and praise your little sister more." Edelin looks towards Ansell with a disapproving gaze which he simply can''t refute as he used to be like Reinhold in his young days too. "Don''t worry, all they need is someone like you." He said with a smile as he reminisced about the past and how she changed him so much from his older self. "Dear, there are kids here."'' Edelin shouted with a blush on her while looking away from him and smiling at her behaviour. ''That''s a cute couple.'' He thought while looking at their flirting and couldn''t help but feel happy that his new family was much better than he expected. ''And how did I even become a villain with these parents?'' He couldn''t understand that thing at all, as even though he can guess his past self being spoiled and having an inferiority complex, it doesn''t explain him becoming a villain. Suddenly he felt a piercing gaze while he was lost in his thoughts. And looking towards the source, he could find Mariel looking at him nervously. ''And there''s some expectation in her gaze too, maybe she wants me to compliment her?'' He could somewhat guess what Mariel wanted but he didn''t know if he should do that as that would be acting unlike his old self. ''But maybe I was not that bad.'' There was also that thought in his mind, so he just decided to go with what seemed like the safest option. "Congrats." He simply said with a light smile not expecting much reaction but she surprised him even more. "Hehehe!" A huge smile burst into her face as she looked at everyone with that expression. ""Oh?"" The rest of the family looked at him with a surprised gaze which made him realise that it was not the safest option. "See, I told you that everyone would be happy." But the first one to break out of that was his mother who lightly pet Mariel''s head and looked at everyone with a smile. Mariel simply nodded while sneaking glances towards him occasionally and burst out in a smile whenever they made eye contact. ''I guess if everyone is happy then it''s good.'' Even though he didn''t understand their reaction, at least he felt a bit happy knowing there was no bad feeling among this family. "Wait, what happened to your hand?" Suddenly he was called out by his mother and looked at his hand, he realised he was still bleeding from his index finger. "Hmm? I don''t know either but it will heal in a few days." Too lazy to explain his weird behaviour, he decided to go with the excuse most kids have after bleeding. "Give me your hand and next time come to me quickly if you get hurt anywhere." Realising what she was about to do, he gave her his hand and nodded his head with a curious gaze. She lightly held his bleeding hand with both of her hands, and closing her eyes she lightly started to chant something. But he couldn''t focus on her chant as what happened next surprised him even more. Golden light started to appear from her hand and looking at his hands closely, he could see the wound he had slowly closing. "Much better now and take care of yourself." Hearing those words, he couldn''t help but feel a bit sad as he looked towards the window once again. "What happened? Is it still hurting? But it should have removed all the pain away too." Noticing his expression, she couldn''t help but get worried and tried to hold his hand again to use the spell on him. But he couldn''t focus on her as the worst possibility he imagined had come true with all the clues he had gathered. ''How much time has passed now?'' [47 minutes but why do you keep asking that?] "You should know too, and can you get me out of this illusion already?" Ch.7 Jumping Out "You are still going to pretend to be dumb, won''t you?" He said in annoyance while once again scratching his index finger with his thumb. [I can''t follow this conversation at all. Can you please tell me properly what exactly has happened?] Hearing the mechanical voice answer, he wondered if his conclusion was right or if it was all just a coincidence. "What happened? At least tell your mom. And please stop doing that with your hands." He suddenly pulled out his thoughts when he felt someone holding his hands. Looking towards it, he could see his hands bleeding again while his mother once again tried to chant spells to heal him. "You don''t need to be worried about us, we are your family." Ansell looked at him with a worried gaze while walking towards him. "Look after him while I go get her." After saying that, Reinhold suddenly disappeared from his place. "Brother¡­" Mariel looked at him with a worried gaze while lightly pulling on his sleeve. [There might be a possibility that it might all be an illusion but first, you should calm down and stop hurting yourself.] Hearing all their words, he felt unexplainable emotions coming from inside of him but when he looked at his bleeding hands and then his family''s faces once again, his conviction became even stronger. ''Good thing, at least Reinhold is gone.'' "You might be right, this might not be an illusion and I have such a great family." As he looked around the faces of his family, he could feel their emotions being real so he couldn''t help agreeing with the voice. [Yup so please calm down, and also please try not to talk to me loudly like that.] He realised why it mentioned the talking loudly part as he could see his family looking at him with even more worry in their eyes. "Yup, you are right. So now tell me how much time has passed." You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Even though he agreed with its concern, he didn''t feel like following it for now and instead looked towards the two suns in the sky with the clouds surrounding them. After that, he looked towards his hands which healed once again. Then finally towards his new family and couldn''t help but sigh with a grimace of pain on his face. [You are not listening at all, and why do you keep asking that time?] "Please calm down." "Brother, please¡­" Ignoring the voices of his mother and sister and the hands of his father on his shoulder, he once again asked the question. "Just tell me the time." [Alright you are not gonna listen anyway, and it''s been 51 minutes since you have woken up.] "Just as I thought." He once looked towards the sky and once again noticed that the sun and the clouds hadn''t moved from their position since then. "Also you guys don''t need to be worried about me, as I am all good." Looking towards his family once again, he said that with a smile and then lightly removed his father''s hand from his shoulder who was looking at him with a complex gaze. After that, he walked towards Mariel and slowly kneeled towards her while she looked at him with teary eyes. "Don''t cry, as you should be happy that you achieved something great and just know that I am proud of you." He wiped her tears and pinched her cheeks with a smile, while also feeling confused while looking towards her. ''Why is she the only different one?'' "Hmm¡­ I am happy, so please stop saying weird things." She said while scrunching her nose to stop the tears which he couldn''t help but find adorable. "Don''t worry, they are not weird things but for now just relax and I hope I will meet with you all if you guys are even real." He lightly patted her head, and then slowly started walking towards the window in the room while trying his hardest to avoid meeting their gaze. ''I can''t let it change my conviction.'' He knew that if for a slight moment, his conviction weathered then he would be stuck forever in this illusion. [What are you even trying to do? And please at least tell me so I can help you.] Hearing worry in its voice for the first time, he wondered if this illusion was something created by someone else instead of the mechanical voice. ''I will worry about it later, first let''s get out of here.'' "You will know soon so don''t worry." Reaching the window, he first looked at the design on it and then towards the glasses panel. "Sorry for the damage." He punched the glass panel with his full might after saying that which shattered the whole window. ''I am stronger than I expected.'' His power even surprised him as instead of forming a hole, it shattered everything and even somewhat broke the wood at the sides. Then he looked towards his hands which were bleeding from all sides but he felt no pain at all. "Nooooooooooo!" "What are you doing?" Looking back he could see his mother and father looking at his hands which were filled with glass shards as they ran towards him. "Brother, please¡­" While a strange golden aura started to form around Mariel which his parents didn''t notice. "Wish it was real." He said it to them for the last time with a forced smile on his face. And then jumped out of the window while all of them looked at him with surprised gazes. [WHAT ARE YOU DOING?] Hearing the mechanical voice shouting, he felt a bit surprised as he didn''t expect it to show much emotion. "Can''t you see? Getting out of here." He replied lightly while looking towards the ground which he was quickly reaching. "Hey? It''s an illusion right?" While he still had all the evidence of the world being weird, he couldn''t help but be worried while looking towards the approaching ground. [YOU ARE ASKING THAT NOW? AFTER YOU JUMPED FROM THE THIRD-FLOOR WINDOW?] Ch.8 Trapped "Shit, it''s going to hurt a lot." He decided to look away from the ground to ignore the inevitable fall for now and looked above. In his sight, he could see the broken windows he jumped from and from that, he could see his mother looking at him with a shocked gaze. He also noticed that she was extending her hands out of the window and a small gold light was forming around it. ''At least I will not die.'' Realizing that he would be saved from the fall, he feels a bit relaxed. When suddenly, the world started spinning, a spiral effect started to appear on the house, his mother, and everything his eyes would have laid on. "See, I told you and I was right." [What is going on?] Hearing the mechanical voice, he somewhat realised that it didn''t have any part in this illusion he was in. But he didn''t let his suspicion go away, as it might still be acting to gain his trust. "So can you get me-" Before he could even finish his sentence, he felt himself falling into some water-like substance. [####??## ??!!?] And the strange static noise coming from his head gave him a slight headache. ''Shut up.'' Surprisingly, it seemed to be able to listen to his voice and the static noise was gone immediately. ''Guess, I fell through the ground?'' Even if he wanted to, he could look around due to all the darkness hindering his vision. ''Hope I get out of here fast as I can''t hold my breath for long.'' As he fell deeper and deeper inside the black water, he hoped for it to end soon while also fearing the worst. ''There''s an end right?'' He couldn''t tell how much time had passed but his ability to hold his breath was getting weaker and weaker. While his falling doesn''t seem to end at all, and even if he tried to move or swim there was nothing to stop his fall. Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. ''Fuck I can''t anymore.'' Unable to hold back any longer, he breathed in and started to suck the black water inside of his lungs. ''Isn''t it supposed to be an illusion?'' Even though he was sure this black water was an illusion, he couldn''t escape the drowning sensation as he trashed around in the water. And not to mention, his lungs filling up with water which slowly started to make his movement weary. ''Huh?'' Suddenly he felt someone touching his head but before he could see what it was, his vision darkened and he lost consciousness. x¡ªx [Hey! Wake up!] "Ugh? What is happening?'' Hearing the mechanical voice once again, he realised that he somehow survived but couldn''t move his body at all. "Am I dead or what?" He asked that question as even though he opened his eyes, he couldn''t see anything around him at all. It felt like being in that black water again where he couldn''t see even his hands except for the worst part missing. ''At least I won''t drown though.'' [Don''t think so, right now you seem to be trapped.] "That''s not any better, to be honest." He sighed with exhaustion after going through all that in the illusion world only for him to be trapped in some dark room. "So you got any flashlight feature or something like that?" Deciding at least to find where he was trapped, he asked in the hope of some simple features from his system. [Sorry I don''t have any function like that.] "Man you are so useless, so have the loading at least finished." Clicking his tongue in annoyance due to how useless his system was compared to all the other ones in the anime, he decided to ask about something else. [Loading - 55%] [Nope but it''s halfway done as you can see.] "You know that I can''t see? Right?" He just wanted right now to rub his head in annoyance but he couldn''t due to his restricted movements. [Oh forgot about that, it''s 55% done.] "Man¡­ So, any ideas of how I can get out of here?" Realised, he was useless to do anything and also his system was still not completed. He decided to ask the mechanical voice for help while scratching his index finger with his thumb. ''Hmm?'' Realising his fingers felt a bit weird, he decided to light-check them and realised that they felt a bit pointier than usual. He somewhat had an idea of what happened to his fingers due to the hidden race he had, but decided to confirm it once he could see them properly. [-here. Hey? Are you listening to me?] Hearing a bit louder than usual mechanical voice, he realised that he ignored what it said due to him being deep in thought. "My bad, can you repeat it?" [So as I was saying, all you can do right now is wait and hope for the one who captures you to come here.] "Won''t they just, you know? Do some weird experiments with me?" Lying down on some flat floor bed while being trapped by all his limbs, only suggested him being captured for something weird. ''And not to mention being in that illusion world.'' It was pretty obvious that the one who captured him put him in that illusion world and maybe they can put him again in there. [So do you have any other ideas?] "Oh I have, you give me some overpowered skill and I can easily escape. So easy right?" [That''s not happening so anything else?] "Nope, not really." [So just wait then.] Realising he could do nothing about his restricted movement, he decided to check if he could move any part of his body. ''Nothing.'' Except for his fingers and his head movement somehow every part of his body was trapped, and the worst part was the thing that trapped him. ''How do I escape something I can''t feel at all?'' Instead of being trapped in those metal chains, he was trapped in some invisible stuff which most likely was some magic trap bounding all his body. "Hey, at least this confirms that I am in a fantasy world. So that''s cool." Ch.8 Iris "Hey, at least this confirms that I am in a fantasy world. So that''s cool." That''s the only positive thought he can have while trapped in this darkness with a useless system. [Hearing my voice should''ve confirmed that already.] "I mean never know with me? Maybe I went full schizo and started hearing voices." Even now, he didn''t rule that possibility out due to knowing himself and the past that he went through. [You sure have a weird thought process.] "Hey, it''s less weird than being in the situation I am in right now." None of the anime or other forms of media he read had a main character in a similar situation to himself. ''Well some system being useless was there, so one thing is common.'' He couldn''t help but laugh at the absurd thoughts he was having right now and not to mention the emotional state he was currently in. [You are right but don''t worry, it will get back to normal soon.] "Pretty confident aren''t you? It''s almost like you know where I am exactly?" There was more likely for him to be stuck in this room forever or get experimented on than escape. So he couldn''t help but find it pretty surprising by the confident voice from it. [Yes.] Taking in a sharp breath, he first calmed himself down and asked the most important question. "Let me guess, you can''t tell me where I am and who I am trapped by?" [Yes, I can''t tell you any of that.] With a pang of disappointment, he went silent and started to think about various questions. Questions that he could ask the mechanical voice without it rejecting him. "Alright so first thing first, did you know it was an illusion from the start?" [Nope.] "As I- wait what? You didn''t?" Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Thinking he was almost right in his guess, he was met with a surprise when it rejected the suspicion he had on the voice. [Nope, it was even a surprise to me.] "So it was not a part of the story?" [I can''t answer that.] Even though he didn''t get the answer, he was almost sure that the situation he was in right now was something that was not supposed to happen. "Then how about? You know who captured me here?" [Not sure.] Even though it answered negatively, at least it was not a firm rejection which meant it had some guesses as to who it was. "And you are not gonna tell me who you think it is that captured me right?" [Yup, and good thing you are becoming smarter. Perks of being with me.] Ignoring the second line, he focused on what it said and felt a bit relieved as at least he was not going into the full unknown. ''Even though it almost is like that.'' "Anyway, can you at least tell me if they are safe or dangerous?" [Can''t confirm it yet.] "So more likely to be safe then." [That was not my answer?] "Don''t worry about it." Hearing its somewhat positive answer which didn''t lean toward rejection, he was relieved that he wouldn''t get his organs traded or something like that. "So last one for now, any idea of what is trapping me and why is it so dark?" He started to get a little bit anxious due to all the darkness and was surprised by how his eyes were not adapting to darkness at all. [Nope, but you can try to use analysis.] "Oh yeah, I had that. Almost forget about it." Laughing in embarrassment, he used to analyze the surroundings but was only met with disappointment. "I can''t see the screen." [Stronger than I expected, also it''s not worth seeing the screen as it''s all question marks.] He was once again reminded of how useless he was right now and all the skills he possessed to save himself. "Also how am I not able to see that blue screen at all?" [Don''t know.] "Man¡­" Sighing, he started to think about other questions he could ask as thinking about his system made him only feel worse. "Oh yeah! That reminds me, what''s your name?" [Don''t have one.] "Really? That''s kind of sad so let me give you one." ''Such a classic trope too.'' He couldn''t help but laugh at this as in each anime he has seen, it always ends up with the main character naming the system. ''So I kind of want to do this too.'' [Don''t need one.] Ignoring its rejection he started to think about what name it should have. "How about AI?" [Didn''t you hear me? I said I don''t need one and really? AI? You can''t be serious?] "I gotta call you something right? So we don''t have any misunderstandings while I am talking to someone else." While feeling a bit disappointed from it not saying yes to his name suggestion. He decided to give the secondary reason why he wanted to give it a name. [You know only I can talk to you in your mind?] "We never know with a fantasy world, also how about Iris?" Ignoring its rejection even further, this time he decided to go with a better name which sounded pretty good too. But instead of answering, there was only silence from the mechanical voice side. "Heyyyyyyy? Are you there?" A little bit worried, he decided to wait and ask but even then he got no answer. ''I guess no system naming session trope.'' But before he could even voice that out, he finally heard the mechanical voice and was surprised by its answer. [Not bad, but why did you go with that name?] "Honestly, I don''t know. Went with that cause that''s the first one that came to mind after AI." [Hmm, you can call me Iris from now on.] He smiled after hearing Iris''s answer as he was finally able to complete one of the troupes he had dreamed of from all the anime he watched. ''Now I just need this system to be useful.'' Sighing, once again the dark surrounding went silent when neither his nor Iris''s voice was heard in his mind. Ch.10 Red Eyes "Anyway, so how much time has passed?" He felt like he had been stuck here for ages with no signs of anyone coming to check on him. [An hour and 10 mins.] "That''s it?" Realising not even half an hour had passed since he was trapped in here, he couldn''t help but feel slightly tired. "You got any in-built TV or something like that in you?" Even though he knew that even if that feature were available, he wouldn''t be able to see it. But he still asked as being stuck like this in a dark room is so boring for him. [Nope.] "Man, how about music?" [Nope.] "So any form of entertainment?" [Nope.] "Man¡­" With nothing to do, he decided to just sleep for a bit as it was a lot better than doing nothing in this darkness. ''Hope someone comes soon.'' With the hope of someone coming to release him soon, he closed his eyes and started to fall asleep. [So when are you going to sleep?] But a few minutes later, he heard Iris'' voice and instead of sleeping, he was still awake. "I can''t." Sighing, he couldn''t help lamenting his lack of tiredness. With nothing else to do now, he once again decided to ask questions to Iris. "Hey, why am I so calm right now though? Especially with the situation I am in right now?" He remembered in the animes, that whenever the main character was in danger or situation like this, they would usually be mentally fucked and have some development. ''Could be due to a skill too.'' He also considered that probability as he remembered seeing such skills various times in those anime. This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. [Cause you are like that.] But Iris''s answer was something he didn''t expect. "What do you mean?" [Try to think how you usually are and that''s your answer.] Hearing that, he tried to remember various times when he was emotional but didn''t find many except during his childhood, in the illusion. ''That edit.'' Now that he thinks about it, he couldn''t understand why he got so angry over such a simple thing. "Hey, why did I have such an emotional response to that edit?" He could understand the illusions and his past emotional outburst but not that, so the most likely reason he came to was. ''External meddling.'' [Not sure.] "What do you mean?" It was weird to see Iris being confused instead of giving such a vague response. [As I said, I am not sure because it was not from my side.] "If you say so." Accepting, he thought about what really affected his emotions then as he didn''t really like when someone controlled that aspect of his. ''First got to survive to know that.'' He could try to find who it was but that comes later, as the current predicament he was in right now didn''t allow him to do anything like that for now. "Also how do you know what happened in my past life?" He found it kind of weird as he was not the one they were supposed to get because of the lack of knowledge about the story. So it was weird for them to spy on his past life but surprisingly he got his answer easier than he expected. [I checked your memory of how you came and don''t worry, I didn''t see anything else.] "Aren''t you pretty considerate?" Even though it was annoying to have his memory checked without his consent, at least it was not something he held dear to him. [I know.] "You are supposed to say thanks for the praise." [Thanks.] "Hmm." Nodding his head, he now thought about whether to ask the question he had in mind right now. ''Well, worrying about it will only make it worse.'' "So, was my past life real?" [What do you mean?] "You know how I was stuck in an illusion just now, so was my past life an illusion too." After asking that, he couldn''t help but feel a bit sick in his stomach. Right now he was in a state of wanting to know the answer while also not wanting to hear it. [Honestly, I don''t know but I believe it''s most likely to be real.] Even after hearing this, he still had some doubts while also feeling of not getting the answer that he wanted. "Wish it was not real." "Wish what?" Suddenly he heard a feminine voice from his right side and looked towards it. What he was was a pair of two red lights glowing in this dark room. "Who, no what even are you?" "Will answer that later, but first what did you wish for?" Slowly those red lights which were most likely her eyes, started to come closer and closer towards his face. But surprisingly, he couldn''t make out her face at all which made him realise that those eyes were a bit more than just special. "Hey no need to be enchanted by my beautiful face, I mean you can be as it''s so beautiful after all but first answer my question." She was so close to him now that he could hear her breathing. But hearing her words, he couldn''t help but look at her with a blank gaze. "You know I can''t see your face?" "Oh! Silly me, but you can be enchanted by my beautiful face once you get out." ''What is this situation even?'' Looking away from those red eyes, he couldn''t help but feel that he was in a dream or something. But hearing the second part, he looked at her again and realized what her identity was. "Are you the one that captured me?" "Hmm, maybe I did? Or maybe I didn''t? But first, you got to answer me." Now she came even closer to him and he could almost feel her face touching her face. Pulling a bit further away from her, he decided to fabricate a lie to that question. "Well, I wish to get out of here, now you answer me." "Oh pretty simple wish, and yup I captured you here." Looking back at her, even though he couldn''t see it due to darkness, he could feel her smiling. Ch.11 Abnormalities Hearing those words, he looked at those red eyes with wariness. As of right now, she had all the control over what she could do to him while he was still bound. "So are you going to let me out?" While still wary of her, he decided to ask about letting him get released as from all the interaction he had with her till now, she didn''t seem hostile towards him. "Hmm, should I? Or Should I not?" "I prefer it to be should I not gonna lie." He lightly said while looking at those red eyes with a smile. Suddenly, those eyes started to get closer and closer towards him and after a few moments, she was looking at him right from above him. "What are you-" Before he could even finish his words, he felt something climb on his body and looking at those red eyes, he realized what it was. "Hey, what are you doing?" Taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, he asked about her bizarre behaviour instead of letting him out of this trap. "Hmm? Did it cause I wanted to do it?" "You¡­" Looking at her red eyes again, which made a crescent shape, he realized that she was having fun teasing him like that. ''Whatever, it''s not like I can do anything.'' Knowing that he couldn''t resist her anyway, he decided to switch the focus once again to the most important part. "So are you going to let me out?" "Before that, you are not going to ask why you are here?" Even though he was curious about that too, getting out of these restraints was a much more important thing. ''And it''s so uncomfortable too.'' Not to mention the stone bed he was lying on, which made his back hurt a little but luckily his head was on something soft. "I can always ask that after you let me out. So how about we put those questions aside for now?" This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. "That''s true but I want you to ask those questions though." Even though he couldn''t see her, he could feel that she was sulking right now due to the tone of her voice which confused him even more. ''Whatever, let''s just go with whatever she wants.'' "So why am I trapped here?" "That''s the way." Just as quickly as she sulked earlier, he could hear her laughing while clapping lightly. "What happened¡­ was? Umm? Do you know what happened?" "How would I know?" He couldn''t help but sigh after what she said. Somehow she forgot what even happened and asked the one she captured. ''Hey, what is this situation even?'' In the end, he couldn''t help but ask Iris for a bit of help as he was slowly losing his sanity due to the confused girl on his body. [No Idea.] ''Man¡­'' He couldn''t help but let out a groan from this situation as nothing was going according to what he planned when he got here first. "Anyway, it looks like I forgot, but whatever." "Yup whatever, so can you let me out now?" But instead of answering him, he saw those red eyes getting closer and closer towards him. And in a few moments, he could almost feel her breathing on his face so he couldn''t help but look away from her. ''What is she even doing?'' "I know you are shy but look at me." Suddenly, he felt her hands holding his face and making it turn back towards her face again. ''What do you mean shy? It''s just uncomfortable with someone breathing on my face.'' But he couldn''t say that aloud for fear of angering her right now. "So what is it?" Ignoring the soft hands holding his face, he decided to ask about why she was putting both of them in such an awkward position. "Just wanted to know how you escape that illusion?" ''Then you didn''t have to hold me like this?'' Trying to calm his rising emotions from all her antics, he decided to answer her question truthfully. "Cause there were too many abnormalities for it to be real." "Really? What were those abnormalities?" Separating which abnormalities to reveal and which ones do not, he then decided to answer her queries about it. "Alright so first one, the sky." "Huh? I remember carefully putting both the suns and clouds in the sky though." ''So the two suns part is real.'' "Yup you did but that''s the problem, they didn''t move at all." He still remembered, checking through windows many times towards the sky but each time, the two suns and the clouds were in exactly the same position. "Ohhhh that''s how, anything more?" "The pain I felt in that world." "Wait what? You are alright right? Nothing happened to you right?" Ignoring her needless worry which he found weird, he decided to further explain about the pain part. "The pain I felt was delayed by a few minutes each time I hurt myself in any way." [So that''s why you jumped out of the window.] ''Yup, cause that was gonna hurt like hell if I didn''t jump.'' Even though it was a bit embarrassing, he couldn''t help but laugh at himself for doing such things. "I almost forgot about the pain part but that''s how you find you were an illusion. So anything else?" "Nope, as those two already were enough to guess that it was not real." Even though there were various other things that were abnormal, he decided not to talk about it for his own sake. "Alright noted, will fix those stuff later though. Let me rest for a bit." Suddenly, he heard her yawning and before he could say anything, he felt her whole body falling on top of him. "Hey?" "Hey, wake up??" "Don''t tell me?" Even after calling her various times, she didn''t respond and a few moments later. He could hear her lightly snoring which made him realise that she had fallen asleep on top of him. ''Is there any way to transmigrate again?'' [Nope.] With a look of despair, he just blankly gazed into the darkness with a girl sleeping on top of him.
