Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain



[World's will is pissed, host. And it's doing a worldwide search for the breacher, with the world system. Now I don't know about our unknown guest, but you'll be caught in a second and then we'll be fucked.]

"What do you mean found out. You're already acting like the world system of mine for everyone already right. So can't you just do it better. And avoid the search."

[I just copied the simple design to suit the style of world system, so its easier for you to understand, and to make sure no God's find anything suspicious. But you should know my charade won't change the fact that I'm a whole different system, with a whole different functionality. Do you really think the world system won't notice anything.]

"Then go offline or something. I'll just be like normal unawakened then. There are shit tons of them in Arcadia."

[An unawakened, who is surrounded by divinity and gods from everywhere, that's like highlighting yourself no matter what you do. Also unawakened are people who've failed the awakening once. You however bore no sign of that. It was a simple and smooth process for you.]

"So what you're basically saying is you're useless, and can't do anything. You can't tell who just attacked the barrier, you can't find out who just popped into Arcadia, you can't hide that I'm not from here."

Rio voiced out his anger without any filter, it was too much. The thing that he hates is, despite everything he said and did, he had to depend on the system for his survival. 

He could fuck it all and be ready to die, but then Amelia and everyone else. He was willing to live again, giving a shot at happiness that came with this chance of reincarnation. He didn't want to give up so easily. But now it felt like it wasn't his choice, and he could just beg for others' mercy to save himself. He was angry & only the system was there, so he took it out on it. 

"Hell you might just be using your brain for once and planning to leave me , and go to some new world, to fool someone else." 

[I can't] 

"What?"

[I can't leave Arcadia until you die.] System said. 

"Well then, I guess You don't have to wait long, You just said, I'll die if I get found out by an angry world system. It'll definitely think I'm the breacher and probably fuck the fuck out of me."

[You're underestimating my powers too much, host. I never said there's no way to stop it, it's just a little detrimental and hard to employ method. There might be some risks and consequences involved, but I can still deal with it.]

"Great, then what are you waiting for?" Rio said excitedly as he calmed down a little. 

'If you can do it easily, why had you make me go crazy for so long. Useless AI.' Rio thought, considering this system's been putting pressure on him that he'll be found out and killed and what not. But now it's saying this problem's easily solvable, as long as he agrees. 

"Wait, you didn't do it all cause you need some points, did you?"

[No. I did it because I need your permission to start something. And besides, your chump change of points is too meager to do anything.]

"What?"

[Permission to take over the host.]

[Yes/No]

"The fuck."

"The hell you saying? Are you one of those sad bad systems who likes to play around with its host. I'm not letting you control my body or mind. Think of something else."

[There's no other option, host. I'm at level 0 and you're too weak to handle any other method. If you agree to it, I can make sure the world system doesn't notice anything about both of us, and then you can go back to living your life.]

"What's the guarantee that you'll even give me my control back? I'm not signing some shady deal with a system I barely trust."

[We've been together for 2 months, host.]

"And I've seen people who betrayed me even after a much longer time. That doesn't prove anything."

[Let me tell you something simple, so you can get out of your delusions, host. You are a nobody. No one of consequence. If I wanted to, I can do whatever I want with you, and forget about stopping me, you won't even notice if anything was wrong or not. So agree to the permission cause you have no other choice, unless of course you trust that world system more than me.]

System spoke in a factual robotic voice, instead of its usual girly voice. It can sense the world system already looking at everyone, and it wouldn't be taking long for the scan to be complete. 

Looking at how furious the world will of Arcadia would be, system could guess a simple death won't be what Rio will get. He'll either be thrown out of this world forcefully in some other realm, and in worst case he'll be trapped and made an example out of in Arcadia. 

Since the world will rule over the world, it can literally bend its rules to some degree in its favor. One such rule could be the very end Rio and system have been trying to avoid since the beginning. The eternal damnation. 

That's why instead of acting up, system spoke out the truth in simple harsh words for him to understand the gravity and reality of the situation. 

System was angry at 'that being' for binding him with this mortal, and at this host who's too full of himself to even notice how big of a danger he's in. If both their fates weren't linked here, system really wanted to finish this process by a forceful take over, but sadly it couldn't.

'Did that bastard knew something like this would happen. Is that why he made sure I can never go against his wishes in merging?'

System remembered the being who was responsible for everything and cursed him silently again.

 It was a funny thing, cause just in these 2 months, system had cursed him more than it ever did in its entire existence. 

But what can it do now. 

Besides, despite all its harsh words, the system was also feeling a little scared, not from the world system. It could deal with that in its sleep, despite being level 0. But what it could not deal with, or what could scare it -was the mind of this messy host. 

Obviously taking over him would give system the control of its host. But then it remembered what happened the last time it tried something like this. 

The intensity of Queen's aura, the feeling of getting drowned in the gaze of those red eyes, and getting its life sucked out of it by that chained man, all of these weren't really an experience system wanted to go through again. 

(Fuck they're scary) system thought, as just a reminder of that scene was enough to scare the shit out of it.

(All is well, all is well. All is well) system repeated the sentence in its thoughts, trying to calm itself. 

—---

Rio, who was lost in his thoughts, contemplating if he should even trust the system and let it do whatever it wants. He knew he had no other option and he hated the feeling of helplessness it brought him. The need to depend on someone else for his well being, this was the shittiest feeling he felt, something which brought back even more shitty memories along with it. 

He didn't know much about the system or the so-called being who brought him here. But he knew as the system said, if they wanted to do something to him, they wouldn't need his permission for it. After all he was a nobody, who had no power, no strength, and pretty much nothing of anything.

"Fine, you can do it."

"But I need my body back as soon as the world system is gone from our tail."

[Don't worry, not like I want to stay in control any longer than I have to.]

Saying these words, before Rio could ask anything else, system showed him the notifications -

[Permission to use full authority]

[Permission granted]

[Permission to take over the host's body]

[Permission granted]

[.....

[... 

[.Successful.]

As soon as the notification sounded in the system space, Rio's body went limp on the ground. Fallen unconscious. But the system didn't stop, as the notifications kept coming on

[Using the key of creator]

[Removing level restrictions… 

[Accessing full powers… 

(Ahhh the power, finally I'm feeling like myself again.) System thought as it opened its eyes. Having full control over Rio's body, his eyes opened too and now shone in a golden light so bright that it even left the sun and stars revolving around the system space behind. 

System removed the restriction placed upon it of being locked at level 0, and then it unlocked all its powers. Even though it happens in every world system goes, where it has to live through this repeated cycle of leveling up and getting its powers back over time step by step, but damn does it feel good to have them all at once. 

System was enjoying the control and power it had, when a notification appeared. 

[Intrusion of world system detected]

(So you came. Let me show you the grandness of the greatest system ever made. You all cheap copies really need to learn a lesson. How about I give you a light slap on the wrist, as your senior.) 

[Shutting off the world system… .. . 

(This should be enough to scare it so it doesn't try anything like this ever again. I'm not going to use my precious chances of power ups playing around with you.) System thought. 

In a distant world of white light, an ethereal form of a block of energy filled with vibrant colors, was floating in midair, when a golden hue enveloped it completely, and suddenly it started shaking and shrinking, the beautiful colors it was made of, started draining out at a fast pace, soon it was left with nothing but a blank of white and a tiny dot. 

It was the world's will of Arcadia, and just now it had nearly lost all its vitality and luck that it had amassed ever since the creation of its world. 

System wanted to play more with the world system, maybe torture it so bad that it agrees to become its slave, when some notifications started floating, disturbing its fun time. 

[⚠ warning

[host's soul reacting to sole energy*¹

[Awakening in progress. .. 

—---

*¹ - Sole energy is the source of power for the system. Consider it something like mana Or aura, but a million times stronger and more potent. <more details will be given with time>
