[Ding! The target details are like the following...

Bloodline : The Old One (S-Rank) (Not awakened) (Upgradable)

Awakened Rank : S-Rank

Mana : 1,000,000 

Charm : 159

Luck : 9999 (Heroine)

Skills :

Bussines (LV 10), (LV 10), (LV 10)

Talent : 

I Am The Best : This talent increases intelligence tremendously, The only problem is that it only kicks in when necessary doing IQ-related things, Most of the time possessors will have average or below average IQ in normal times.

Also skills can be learned quickly and to the perfection of the mortal level in quite a little time but only when the possessor really wants to learn those things.

Superpower : Time-Deus (S-Rank Upgradable) : As the name dictates, This is power related to time.

As one of the rarest superpowers one can awaken, Anyone who is in the hold of this power can be considered a time god, Who can control the time at will using their mana as a source of power.

Perks :

• Using this possessor can stop an individual person or group in time.

• Can permanently stop once it's own ageing as long there is bare minimum mana running through the body.

• Can see past, present and future with a lot of restrictions but without any significant backlash.

• Can also forward or reverse people or specific parts of them.

Special Perk :

Time Domain : Can create a domain of time, The stronger user and the mana input are the larger the range would be.

In the domain, users can do anything related to time as long as they have enough mana, But stronger ones can resist the strength of power.

Favorability : 89 (The Only One)

Summary : Rebecca is a hot-tempered woman. This is a trope of 2nd ML in the romance novel. Someone like her once loved someone then they will love that person to the end.

(Note : She tends to be easy going but don't be fooled by her easy-going appearance, She has a Gundeare personality.]

'She is really strong, no wonder the author had to sideline her to make the plot exciting.'

Alex read through all the details of Rebecca. He now gets why the author decided to sideline her. After all, her name is Deus, Making her kinda a wild card.

If she was always with Jake then there is no way he had to face any problem at least in the early and mid plot.

No matter what kinda threat they face, She can just pull Deus ex Machina, There is no way she could have encountered the trouble and hence gotten an opportunity to gain more strength.

So anything that might be the plot, author or world will be decided to put her away to give a chance for him to grow.

Alex on the other hand though not want to deal with constant shit like the protagonist, He rather stays home and chills letting his subordinate take care of the trouble.

It's just that he can mess with the protagonist thanks to his villain halo but others can't, So he had to do it in person.

'Her favorability for me is also quite high, 'System explains.'

Then he put his attention to her favorability of her for him, Surprisingly she had quite a lot more than any other heroine who did not spend time with him.

So he was rather curious how she could have that much favorability for him when he did nothing. Even if she heard the song, She would not be able to reach this much in an instant. If the system had notified him.

[Ding! It was all because of Rebecca's nature and how this character was built to host, She designed to compete with Alia, So as motivation to keep little logic in the plot, She "coincidently" fell in love with Alia's man.

That's why there is this much initial favorability of her for your host."

System quickly answered him as he asked it reminding Alex that though this world seems real but it follows the law of the novels.

In Jake's plot, Alia will be with Jake, igniting her competitiveness of hers, and then as every brain-dead novel goes, She will fall for the protagonist rather than to fight with Alia.

This is a normal routine, So Alex did not pay attention to it, Was now more curious about her bloodline.

'System, what about her bloodline? Give more details.'

So he asked the system, There is no mention of it in the plot of "The Old One." It was his first time hearing it.

Though the name sounds kinda like a rushed silly one but looking at her mana breaks that impression, A 1,000,000 mana no normal person can have at all, Even S-Ranks stop at 1.5 million mana.

Though it was more than Rebecca but keep in mind that she is currently just a peak B-Rank and still able to go close to them.

This is a reason why Alex was very much interested in her bloodline as he was fighting in his mind about what first thing he will choose to copy, Her superpower or her bloodline.

He really never thought that he would face one day that he had to choose between things like this as most if not all heroines only have one special characteristic.

But Rebecca is different, She has at least 3 different kinds of characteristics, As that "I Am The Best" is also an OP talent if used carefully.

He even thought of copying it, As it is also a very helpful thing for him.

[Ding! Error, Sorry host your level of authority is too low to know this information.]

Alex waited to know more about her bloodline but he was hit with the error message and an apology behind it.

But this not only disappointed him but made him happy, Now he knows what to choose first, Time superpower can be copied later.

'Okay, I understand the system you don't have to apologise for, Also you made a spelling mistake, It is Goudere not Gundere.'

Alex does not mind that there is something he can't know yet, He can just increase his system level by doing stuff, So he just pointed out normal spelling mistakes before putting the system on silent as he still needs to talk with Rebecca.

Unknownst to him, If had waited to hear the reply of the system, he would have thought twice before messing with her.

[Ding! The system did not make any mistakes.]

.....

"You know it is taboo to ask something like that right?"

Rebecca looked at Alex and questioned him as surprised by what he had asked.

It is really a taboo in the world of awakened warriors to ask someone about their superpower, It is a life and death secret that can't be shared casually.

"Well, Ignore it, You passed, I thought a stupid woman like her might really tell me, Guess you are not that stupid."

Alex little dazed but seeing Rebecca asking him, He just made a quick excuse for asking it.

He knows it is taboo to ask someone about their superpower but he wanted to distract them before opening the system panel.

That was because he had found that when he talked with the system, the time he feels like spending on the panel was way less than the actual one. That's why people did not get weirded out even though he spent quite some time talking with the system.

So he thought that if the System was messing with time Rebecca would be able to feel it, but now he knows that it was not the case.

The system does not mess with time but just changes his time perception by increasing his inherent speed of senses, making him able to feel like time is slowed down.

This is the reason why closing a system is something he blurts out things or needs a second or two to speak as it was a lag of getting used to getting in and out of that speed mode.

"Hey!! Stop that, I can't pay you 10 million for a day. At best I will pay 5 million per day, So are you willing?"

Rebecca was aggravated by his comment, She is not stupid, She proved that lots of times. At best she is slow but not stupid.

"8 million, Just look at me before saying your end of a deal."

When Rebecca talks about the business, Alex quickly shifts into the greedy businesswoman mode. After all he needs money now as all his money is reserved for other things.

There are Amara, Isabella, Alia, Helen, Liza, Xia Yan…, Well there are lots of people to ask for money from but who dislike more money, That too when someone delivers it to their doorstep. He was not that stupid to reject it

"6 million, This is the last offer, I did not have many funds in my hands, Most of it invested in new projects, Anything more and I will break the capital chain of my company."

Rebecca hesitated to hear Alex offer, Looking at his face, 8 million for a day did not sound that much but she really did not have left much cash in her hand right now.

She has money but most of it is invested in her new production line-up, And she can't just go ask money from her family to hire a man to fool them, Can she?

So 6 million UC of all she can offer right now, Which will be 60 million UC for 10 days.

"Okay, Deal, But I have a question, What happens if you get knocked up in these 10 days? And how much alimony will I get?"

(A/N : Like Always thank you for reading and have a good day 😁.)
