Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

[I know what you're thinking, so let me explain how it was all your fault that you died.]

[Because you broke the rule 101 of living in any world, you messed with the protagonist.] The system spoke and before Rio could ask anything else, it confirmed his doubts-

[Yes, Kevin was the protagonist. Your role on earth was just a nobody in the train scene. But instead of acting like how a normal man should act and get angry over it, which could lead to a fight where protagonist needed to show off his capabilities, you kept silent.]

[After ruining his one plot, when heavens tried to fix it by adding another fight scene, you somehow jumped into the scene of that kidnapping and ruined his plot to save the school beauty too.]

[If that wasn't enough you also went nuts and picked a fight with him for no reason. So as a punishment heavens decided to alter the plot's direction and it led to your untimely death.]

Hearing the system's explanation of the reasons behind his death didn't surprise him much now. He could already guess Kevin being a protagonist with his high luck and stupid cliche plots, but what surprised him were other details. So he decided to ask the only one who could answer it for him - "I only acted like how I usually would that day. The fight with those goons and Kevin had their reasons. Those goons were kidnapping a girl and my mood was off. Fighting with Kevin was only because he was wearing that bracelet. Both incident were because of stuff that happened with me years ago, it wasn't sudden so shouldn't heavens already know about it. And why would I be in that plot. I was a nobody."

[You were only part of his story because the plot needed a reason to pit Ali against Kevin. At first it was decided to happen because of Aarvi's interest in Kevin after he saved that school beauty near her company, but due to your alterations it was changed with your death which would start Ali's enmity.]

[As for your unique behavior, heavens aren't omnipotent. They only care about their chosen ones, what happens in the life of nobody's like you, has no interest to them. And that is why they never expected some extra character to jump in between and ruin 3 plots continuously]

[Do you get it now?] System asked as even it felt that heaven's were too stupid to do this.

"So my death will lead to Aarvi meeting Kevin and Ali turning into a villain." Rio asked as he thought about the consequences of his anger. His only friend would lose his love, and his life to that lucky bastard. All because he was too high in his stress to notice anything wrong and acted on a whim.

[It's not your fault. Even if you did nothing, the plot would still progress smoothly and Ali would still be forced to stand against Kevin. It was his fate to be a stepping stone for him. Your death only fueled his hatred much early.] The system tried to clarify thingsthings when it noticed it's host acting weird again.

Rio tried to calm down, he did feel anger towards Kevin and the heavens who made the plot, he felt worried thinking what'll happen to Ali and Aarvi next. He could guess their ending but there was nothing he could do about it now. So he asked the other important questions -

"So I wasn't supposed to die like this. And since I died early I got sent into the Arcadia early." Rio asked as he remembered that according to system he was supposed to wake up in Arcadia when the plot started.

[No. Even if you died early you would've just been stuck in the darkness till the fixed time, but something went wrong again and you got pulled out much faster.]

"The curse, that wasn't mentioned in the novel. Is that the reason."

[I don't know the answer to that question. I was also in the darkness with you remember.]

[If you update the system, I might be able to answer all your questions.]

"And why should I do that. I don't even know anything about you."

[You should know that without me you will be turned into a puppet for any random God and you could do nothing. Plus as I said my only purpose is to guide you, if you don't want my help, I simply would not help.]

(Not like I want to work overtime.)

[You're living in the world where different planets collapse together and Gods exist, if you update the system enough, who knows you might be able to go back to Earth]

"Just tell me one thing, is the author of the novel the one who sent me here and you to help me." Rio asked as he still couldn't believe he was inside a novel.

[Yes and no, it's a complicated question. You need answers, so do some work to get them.] System said simply as it was obvious, it did not have permissions to tell him anything.

"So what does he want me to do? Help protagonist or kill him."

[Nothing, he wants nothing from you.] System laughed a little thinking what this puny mortal could do for that great being. It was a joke in system's eyes. But ignoring this system continued on with its demand -

[ I, who's your system on the other hand, wants you to ruin the heaven's plan anyway you see fit.]

[Any changes you make in the story will result in corresponding points depending on their effects on the plot, and you can use those points for whatever you want.]

[Since you've read so many novels, you already know everything about basic system stuff. So I won't waste my time explaining the full details.]

[As you can see the status screen of mine is similar to that of world system, it is just so no one could spot any difference, even if they look at it closely.]

[Other than the things world system can do and show, you get a shop funtion. Where you can buy and sell whatever you want, with the set price and no bargains of course.]

[Inventory is the same as you think, it can store all non-living stuff.]

[If you want to earn some extra points and rewards, you can choose to finish some quests which the system will issue on certain situations. It is entirely your decision to do them or not, I cannot force or influence you in anyway. If you reject the quests you would not be punished, but you would lose your rewards.]

[But sadly for you all these funtions can only be accessed once the plot starts. So you should wait till then.] System tried to explain all it's funtions in the simplest terms to save time.

"But what're these , I can already see some items on the shop icon on my status." Rio asked as he saw the 4 written near shop icon.

[Those are items which have nothing to do with the plot, and more to do with you. They're issued by the being who sent me here, while we were in the darkness.]

[You should check them before you ask anything more.]

Item 1 . Healing potion

Item 2 ???

Item 3 ???

Item 4 ???

Rio looked at the shop menu and was surprised to see only one item, shining on the screen. While other 3 items were grayed out and only question marks were visible in their place.

"What the, hey you broken or what? Where are the items?" So he asked the system.

[The other items will be unlocked when you meet the certain requirements to open them.]

Rio looked at the healing potion, and clicked on it. It gave him the ful description of the item.

Item 1 - Healing Potion

- The rushed soul merging had damaged your mind. This will result in future nightmares, loss of controls over any of your persona and their emotions. With time the damage would affect your brain more and more, and stops you from focusing on one thing. This potion heals you completely, it frees you from all your troubles and calms your soul.

- So be a good little boy and drink this potion, only for 5000 points.

Rio read everything and it was fine till he saw the last line. "Why you asking points as soon as you came. Can't you give it to me like some starter package gift."

[Free gifts don't drop from the sky my greedy host. And the system is already giving you free protection against the Gods isn't that enough.]

[As for these items, they are issued by the being, as a bonus gift to you, you can never find them anywhere else. It is up to you if you want to buy them or not.]

"So how many points do I have now. I already messed up quite some stories of the plot."

[Calculating. . .

[Checking world data. . .

[Host has solved the Evil Scion's members hiding in Damascus - 300 points]

[Host has finished the Beric Zastan plotline - 1000 points]

[Host has altered the fate of Esme Scarlett - 300 points

[Host has altered the fate of Erza Scarlett - 100 points]

[Host has altered the fate of Chiron the beehive Berserker - 500 points.]

[Host has created the potion of pura corpus, stealing the chance heaven designed for protagonist - 1500 points]

[Host has stolen several gifts prepared for the chosen ones by heaven's - 1000 points]

[Host has altered the fate of Asher Vridal - 200 points]

[Total points - 4900 points]

"What, I did all that and I only get this much."

"Why is Esme's points so little, and what about me stealing his sword technique, or about getting Kali's attention didn't that change the plotline."

[Need I remind you host that no matter what you do before the plot starts, you will only get minimum points, cause heavens has a chance of altering the plot and getting the same results back. Just like they did on Earth.]

[To explain the point distribution, the more irreversible effect it has on plot and important people in it, the more points you get]

[That's why you got more points for finishing a complete plot line for Beric Zastan, as he is dead now and even heavens won't be able to bring him back.]

[For Esme you only changed her plot direction for a little while, since her plot could still salvage itself and return to the way of heavens, you got no rewards.]

[You would've gotten Goddess Kali's attention before the plot began anyways, so it hasn't changed anything related in the plot.]

[As for moonshadow sword technique, you have only stolen the key to enter the location, if you think that can stop a protagonist then you're solely mistaken]

"What, what about Chiron. He was the one who saved the protagonist on that journey, without him Leon would've died."

[You're forgetting that Chiron's only role was to give protagonist the key and later used as a sacrificial pawn. The protagonist can still get the key and get the other person who was there to sacrifice themselves. You haven't changed anything until that happens.]

[This is why I said that the points you get before plot starts are nothing, compared to what you get when plot starts or you finish the quests]

[Had you did all these things once the plot began you would've been rolling in the rich amounts of points, but sadly it's all a waste]

"So even after all this time and preparation I didn't even get enough points to buy your potion to heal myself." Rio was contemplating that if system had awaken early he would've done things differently. But he didn't regret much as it was still much better than system's wishes of him not changing anything and start acting when he's already known as a devil.

While Rio was busy thinking his future plans, system got some warnings on its screen & nearly got a fake heart attack. [WARNING] [WARNING]
