In a forgotten civilization.
At the center of the labyrinth, there was a skeletal corpse breathing.
A black smoke came out of it and formed into a shadow.
'The thing that I found beyond words started its phase for growth.'
'As long as nothing happened to my puppet, his system would come back to me.'
'That way, I would be reborn with that creation that I manipulated and I will dominate everything that comes across my path!'
The skeleton mumbled and hoped that the current Gaun would create his system with that gift.
'The Death God System in my plans, I will become the Death God that can manipulate darkness magic at will!
'Darkness! Darkness!'
His tomb echoed with sorrow, his people died the reason to find that thing, but he made sure that their sacrifice would come to fruition.
...
Young master Gaun's body trembled.
There was a girl that looked like a sweet tonic in his eyes.
Calm water in her hair gives a little dangerous vibe and her eyes seem to peek at his soul.
Her breast, it's bazonga.
Gaun could even smell her sweet warm fragrance.
"Tell me, why do you need to run away?"
She spoke calmly, with a dead tone.
This deadly tone felt like something was blocking the young master Gaun's throat.
The burnt scar on her face made her even more look intimidating.
Suddenly, young master Gaun's eyes widened same time.
As the system screen appeared before him.
Ding!
[ The user is exposed to a very dangerous individual. The user might die anytime. ]
'This girl?'
Young master Gaun had brought to mind the knowledge of this girl in the novel.
'In the novel, the side character Lawrence had a girl he likes.'
'She had a scar like this in the description. Could it be?'
'No! It's not who she could be. She is that girl!
'Lawrence who was coming after me was angry at me because her sister is a concubine of the body I occupied and will meet this girl.'
'The fool who owned this body didn't even touch her sister.
'The original owner merely bribed her to be with him so her family could be safe and won't have to beg again in the streets.'
Gaun wanted to slap his forehead in front of this girl but he knew it wouldn't end well.
'This girl, I don't know why she chose this pathetic loser at first, but in the back story…'
'She is a talented girl that is supposed to be a queen of a neighboring Kingdom and hid here as the wife of this loser.'
'I'm not sure if she fell in love with this loser for some unknown reason.'
'But he betrayed her after meeting the two concubines who also betrayed him too with their respective lovers.'
When Justice strikes! It strikes down with grace!
The girl could sense the look the young master Gaun was giving.
'Why is he looking at me like that?'
The aura of animosity made the young master Gaun tremble a little.
He quickly hid it but the girl sensed it.
'He discovered that I'm going to end him?'
It was the only thing that came to her mind when young master Gaun suddenly opened his mouth to speak.
"Leanne, you need to leave. I don't want you to be implicated in my problems."
With these words, Leanne suddenly stared at him in shock.
Young master Gaun felt the oppressive aura from her disappear.
He could finally breathe, but was still helpless.
'Oh Leanne, I hope you Leave now, I don't want to die.'
In the novel, it was Leanne herself that put an end to his life.
Lawrence made it here, but he was too late.
However, this is where Leanne and Lawrence first meet and hit it off together.
As they share their feelings and animosity against this random dead cannon fodder young master, which is him in the novel.
Even when they didn't end up together, they were still close.
'Damn it! I am just a Cannon fodder of a side character whose role was supporting the main character.'
'I finally recalled this supporting character. Lawrence didn't even have that much screen time because he was so busy chasing this girl.'
'I don't want to die like this.'
'So hurry and leave now, witch! Shoo! Shoo!'
Young master Gaun didn't want to associate himself with this witch.
To him, Leanne is a witch that built and helped the neighboring kingdom's future King to sit on the throne.
In the future, she and Lawrence would be discovered by the neighboring Kingdom ruler that she created.
Two Human Kingdoms would be entangled in an all-out war.
Lawrence and Leanne would win with the help of the main character.
'Sigh, they killed a lot of commoners and innocent people in both Kingdoms but they still have the face to celebrate.'
It was one thing he could remember, the thing that he hated about them in the novel.
'I don't want to entangle myself with these psychos.'
'Just let me Leave peacefully and watch the novel unravel before my eyes. I would be content.'
Leanne woke up from her stupor.
Her eyes released a strange light. Young master Gaun could feel the temperature in the air change.
Leanne looked at the young master Gaun from head to toe.
'What's wrong with him? This is not the plan I had in mind!'
At length, she looked at him without emotion and asked.
"Why? Why do you want to escape?"
Young master Gaun swallowed his saliva upon seeing her seething expression.
He didn't know what the past owner of this body did to her but he could roughly guess by remembering the novel.
'Hm?'
Leanne's eyes went wide as the young master Gaun lifted his right arm close to her face, but stopped.
Young master Gaun pretended to turn around and then spoke with a heartbroken voice.
"I want you to leave because I lost everything I offer. You don't have to stay."
His voice sounds composed and warm but inside he is doing everything to avoid shaking his body for Leanne to notice.
However, Leanne only stood there.
Watching his back with no words coming out of her mouth.
Young master Gaun realized she was not leaving and his countenance felt like it was shaking.
'How do I make this woman Leave?'
'In the novel, in times of war, she is said to still have feelings for the neighboring ruler she created.
'When he died, she cried for months.'
Young master Gaun's eyes sparkled.
'Also, the best way for the women to leave a relationship was to act weak and become very emotional.'
Young master Gaun glances at the back. Leanne just stood there without showing emotion.
Young master Gaun swallowed his saliva but still composed himself and spoke with a soft and weak voice.
"Leanne, I don't know why you're still here."
"It's okay for women to leave, especially if their men are not capable anymore."
"Also, I know that in your heart…"
"That guy David that you keep mumbling in your sleep still has your heart."
"Take all the treasury and leave me be. Do not force yourself.''
"There's only one life and if you keep lying to yourself and stay with a person who doesn't have your heart, it would all be meaningless."
Young master Gaun was confident in this phrase because when he was on earth.
The girlfriends would Leave one hundred percent a time whenever he said these words to them.
Leanne did not move.
However, soon she opened his mouth.
"Okay."
Her voice was like a calming voice that can make you sleep.
The issue was, this voice made the hairs on young master Gaun's back stand up.
Soon, her slender arms headed towards the door, and then she closed the carriage and left silently.
'Phew!'
Seeing her leave, young master Gaun heaves a sigh of relief.
"Finally, I thought some unexpected thing was going to happen."
In the past, he hoped those ex-girlfriends would stay with these manipulative words but it even pushed them so far.
Since Leanne is a witch and probably using her mind well.
Young master Gaun predicted she would find a crack in those manipulative words and leave, too.
Young master Gaun's countenance changed.
He felt the atmosphere became stable and comfortable and thanked God for everything.
He escaped the fate of the original owner of this body.
Ding!
[ The host nearly died in a life-and-death situation with a ninety-five percent chance of dying! ]
Ding!
[ Rewards: Mana Core, Random attribute, and a random ability. ]
Young master Gaun's face fell, and his mouth was opened wide from the system.
'I nearly died with a ninety-five percent chance of dying at that?'
However, instead of cursing his fate, he composed himself.
His confidence rose as he survived that life-and-death situation.
'In the novel, this character died but was replaced by that system pretender who gave this character the system.'
'The original owner died, but I survived.''
'Against the creature of darkness who became the hidden main antagonist of the novel for six thousand chapters.'
'Now, I saved myself and I am here, alive. What will happen now?'
'I'm sure that filthy devil will send something to deal with me.'
Young master Gaun's eyes turned to the screen of the system. He was curious about something.
Ding!
[ Host can now accept rewards. ]
[ Accept rewards? ]
His brow furrowed, but he answered and accepted it.
Ding!
[ The host received rewards! ]
[ The host gained Mana Core! ]
[ The host can now perform magic arts and magic practice arts. ]
Young master Gaun's head buzzed.
In this world, one needed Mana Core.
Mana Core is where one could store Mana, where one could use it to perform magic practice arts and magic arts.
Magic practice arts or Magic practice art techniques improved their magical capabilities or levels.
That's why there were apprentice Magicians in the first order, second order, third order, etc.
While Magic arts were to gain unique abilities for fighting.
Ding!
[ The host gained a random attribute! ]
[ The host gained holy light attribute! ]
Seeing this, young master Gaun found the system even more ridiculous.
In this novel, the churches are always the menace and the ones who were always bad.
One could only count a finger to find decent churches.
If he had the holy light attribute, he needed to enter a church.
'What's next?'
Young master Gao wondered, as he was expecting a miraculous ability in the system that could help him escape his fate as a villain.
After all, systems are supposed to be miracles.
Ding!
[ The user gained a Miracle Valkyrie body. ]
