Chapter 7 - Villain of Destiny

A mansion stood on top of a hill. The entrance was decorated with a massive fountain. The garden was well-maintained and brimming with a variety of flowers.

At the entrance of the manor, a variety of luxurious branded cars stood.

Although the manor is usually quite silent, today it was unusually loud and cheerful.

....

In a luxurious room within the manor, a young man sat with a dark face.

[Congratulations host for awakening - Broken spiritual veins]

Reaching the twelve years mark, today he opened up his spiritual veins.

" Tsk.."

He was left feeling utterly disappointed by what he saw. He was the villain of destiny. How could he make do with some shitty spiritual veins?

" System use the card now "

In the end, he made the decision to use the trump card he had been holding. Though he was planning to use it in the future, if he doesn't have good spiritual veins, no one in his family will respect him. He was the villain of destiny, and he didn't want to live life like a second-rate villain.

[ Is host sure you want to use it]

" Yes"

" Becoming a second generation trash, you must be kidding me. "

He had a mocking smile on his face, as if he was mocking the fate itself.

" I am the destiny villain. How can I accept that faith? "

[Heavenly Fortune Plundering Card being utilised]

[Searching for the nearest target]

[Target found - Magical Doctor/Godly physician]

[ Fortune Plundering successful]

[Host has accumulated a huge amount of Heavenly fortune]

" Use it to improve my spiritual veins. "

[Broken spiritual veins -> Mystic four elemental profound veins]

His spiritual energy suddenly became a hundred times more pure and he could immediately see that his potential had gone from rock bottom to sky high.

" Hehehe... "

" Being the villain of destiny. "

" Hahahaha..."

" That's fantastic. "

" I will ensure that I milk each of these shitty protagonists. "

...

Watching the fragments of the broken cup and his master standing at the door, Keith was in a trance.

He couldn't comprehend what happened with him, even the system notification didn't get into his ears.

" Master I.. "

He was not sure what he could say, but he knew he had to apologize. The mistake he made was grave, and the consequences could be devastating.

Before he could even speak, his master stepped up and approached him.

* Smack..! *

A loud sound resounded in the room. Keith's cheek became blood red color, with the imprints of five fingers.

Keith knew that this would happen as soon as his master stepped up, so he tightly shut his eyes. The slap hurt a lot, but not as much as the fact that he potentially lost the only person he considered a family.

" Master, I am .."

Keith wanted to apologise, he had a feeling that if he didn't apologise, he might never be able to do it again.

" Shut up "

Her voice was loud and feminine, it was drenched in hatred, agony, and pain.

" Who told you that you can enter here "

" You are a mere disciple, who allowed you to interface in my personal life "

Her words felt like knives being stabbed in his heart. His eyes were teary, but he didn't want to cry, so he somehow held them in.

" I am sorry "

" I don't need your apologies, and I don't even need a disciple like you. "

Keith could see it crumble before his eyes, just like the cup, the plot and his relationship both crumbled.

" It's already dark. Tomorrow morning, before I get up, leave this place and never come back. "

All this while Keith had his face down, and just like that he was ready to leave the room.

"Take this thing with you, I don't need a broken object to reminisce about my past."

He gathered all the fragments carefully and held them firmly in his hand before leaving the room without saying anything.

*Bang...! *

Just as he stepped out, the door was shut tightly.

.....

Sitting under the tree, Keith finally let loose his emotions.

* Weep..! * * Weep..! *

Immediately, he was crying profusely, his face was distorted, and even after wiping them repeatedly, his tears could not be stopped.

* Weep..! * * Weep..! *

After a few minutes of crying, he finally managed to control himself.

" System, why did it happen "

Keith was puzzled, everything was fine until he took out the cup, but then all of a sudden everything got messed up.

"Why did the cup fall all of a sudden, and how did it break"

It was impossible for him to accidentally drop it. Given that he was sitting on the ground, it shouldn't have crumbled even after dropping.

" And how has the effect of the drug suddenly dissipated? "

The fact that his master arrived at that exact movement was too coincidental.

[Host, this was caused by interference from another player]

[This was probably done using any of the luck-related items]

[That caused the host's luck to drop rapidly, resulting in the plot collapsing.]

Getting an brief explanation from the system, Keith understood what happened with him.

" huh.."

He sighed while closing his eyes.

" If I hurl stones at others, how can I not expect them to do the same to me? "

Keith was clear with the reality of his situation.

He was aware that he was not the only blessed son of heaven, there are more players like him, and ultimately, they will interfere with him in some way or another.

"At first, I didn't know if I should really fight them or not "

" After all, the world is big and we can enjoy our lives without interference, but I guess I was mistaken."

He opened his eyes, his face was stained with tears, unlike his usual bright smile, it was quite dull. Keith was very sad, not because the plot collapsed, but because he lost a person he believed to be his.

" System, Did you find out who was responsible for it? "

Even though he was unable to rectify his relationship with his master, but vengeance was something he could still do, and he was going to have it.

[Despite the system's inability to detect their exact location. The system can tell that the person is from the same realm and not far from the location where the main plot of this realm is to take place]

"The main plot won't begin until quite a few years, so I have plenty of time to prepare. "

Standing up, Keith dusted his clothes and went to his own cabin.

....

Shortly thereafter, he packed his bag and came outside. He had only had a few pairs of clothes left, one of which came from the system and a few that his master gave him.

As he sat at the door of his cabin, he observed the shattered cup he was holding.

" System, is there any way to fix this cup "

The way this cup was thrown away made Keith unhappy because it was important to his master.

[Host if you want to correct the plot by fixing the cup, system suggests you to give up]

"No, I just wanted to fix it, before i leave"

[Sorry host, you haven't unlocked the system store yet, so you can't buy anything]

" System, can't you help me just this once please "

[Ok, but don't expect this to happen every time]

[System can trigger events on its own, only when the host is in danger.]

" Ok "
