Eira opened her eyes.
When she regained her sanity, I first investigated her situation.
Eira realized that she was lying on a bed, her arms were tied with ropes to the headboard of the bed and her legs were tied with ropes in the same way to the opposite part of the headboard.
Eira felt a pain in the back of her head from her blow, but she had to react when she heard a male voice in her ear.
[Did she wake up? um... Paul hasn't arrived yet, I hope his IQ is big enough for him to realize his situation and not ask me stupid questions]
Eira woke up completely with that, she first looked at herself and saw that she was still wearing the dress she had on in the office, she also felt a cold and wet sensation on her neck, apparently, they put some kind of of ointment.
She then scanned the surroundings.
She was in a 5-star hotel room, the bed was big enough for 2 people and there was a man in a suit in the corner of the room next to the front door with his hands behind his back not moving at all.
Ren was standing next to the door waiting for his client Paul.
like he did he?
Simple, he just took out a loan from the system and that's it.
Ren's original appearance was that of a man emaciated by drug use, orphaned at a young age, and without a girlfriend.
He had been fired from his only job as a sweeper for Eira's company and lost the love of his life, in the end, he decided to commit suicide and end it all.
So that same night after he saw that there would be no problems with his identity, Ren went to his Eira company where he worked, which still had the lights on.
Ren had to spend hours negotiating with the system to grant him a skill in advance and asked for the [hacking-advanced] skill.
and with that skill, Ren hacked Paul's phone and changed his phone number in Paul's phone book.
Now he is the kidnapper who would kidnap Eira, since after the kidnapping Paul's father would use the kidnapper as a scapegoat, so there would not be much problem in identity theft.
In the morning Ren had been contacted by Paul requesting that he kidnap Eira.
By hacking Eira's company, Ren got the guard's schedule at the morning shift change and then everything was simple, just kidnap her from the stairs, avoid the cameras and leave with the excuse that he was going to lunch, then It brought us to this hotel run by Paul's family which brings us here.
-who are you?
Ren looked at Eira who asked that question.
Eira also heard the voice.
[ oh really? who I am? Don't you see that I have you kidnapped? tied to the bed while standing at the door, did I overestimate this woman's brain capacity? Or was the blow I gave him too strong? but if I put an ointment on it a while ago it cost me half of my savings, so I don't think it's the blow, it must be the stupid brain of this cold-ass woman]
Another wave of anger passed through Eira's mind, but she had to hold back the urge since right now she was at a disadvantage.
Ren at this moment spoke to Eira.
"As you see, miss, I am a kidnapper."
-don't give obvious answers.
[don't ask obvious questions, stupid woman]
-what I want to say is because -----(what I want to say is because I can hear your voice)
Eira couldn't finish the sentence, her mouth just moved meaninglessly and she couldn't say the question she wanted to say.
' what is this? Why can't I say it?
Eira was not a big believer in religion, but at this moment she was forced to believe in something as absurd as being able to hear someone's heart and also how she couldn't say it.
Eira was thinking for a long time... she finally came up with a question.
- why are you doing this?
Ren thought for a few moments before responding casually.
"I'm a professional kidnapper miss, I only did it because I was told to.
But in Ren's mind, it was another story.
[Do you really think I do this because I want to? I need money to eat, the previous Ren was someone abandoned by the world, he had no one to call friends or family, and he decided to kill himself because of that, and now that I have my usual appearance with this body I can only use what I can. I have to get money, for now after I get paid for this I will try to get another job while I watch the plot, maybe as Paul's bodyguard...]
'what?
Eira received a lot of information about who Ren is, but one piece of information was important.
'he needs money right?
- I know, whatever they paid you, I will pay you double if you free me.
"I can't do it miss, I have morals.
[If I free you, how do you think the protagonist will come to save you? You just have to stand there like a good heroine of a third-rate novel and wait to be saved and fulfill your destiny]
'...I want to decide my bastard destiny, I will not be controlled by anything or anyone.
'protagonist and heroine?
Eira finally understood what was so much mystery.
'Am I a character in a novel?
Eira felt like her perception of her world had just been shattered.
'Am I just a character?
Although she was quite confused, her great mental capacity made her calm down little by little in an hour, during which time Ren began to think about her accepting her situation in silence, so he stayed still waiting in peace.
'well...supposedly, Paul will come and want to do something to me, and then the security guard will come here and save me?' Let's see how right there is, first let's try to calm Paul down...
At this moment, Ren's inner voice sounded.
[um... it seems that he has already reached this floor, let's see how the plot goes]
A couple of minutes passed when several knocks sounded on the hotel room door.
Ren opened the door and a man in a suit eagerly entered the room.
The appearance of the guy in the suit was that of a man with black hair and equally black eyes, he had a somewhat thin but firm body and an arrogant face when he entered the door, but when he saw Eira who was looking at him from the bed, his face turned completely into a loving look.
- Eira, my beautiful Eira.
"hum
Ren, who was on the side, cleared his throat, showing her presence.
The man named Paul noticed Ren and his face returned to his arrogance as he responded to Ren.
-You've already brought it, your pay will arrive later, get out of here.
"Very good young master.
Ren nodded before opening the door.
The thing is that Eira started to get scared at this moment, if Ren were here next to the two of them, she wouldn't be so scared since Paul wouldn't dare do anything to her with people here, but Ren was about to get out of here.
'Didn't this bastard say that he would have to be present for the plot?
At that moment Ren's voice was heard.
[I guess I'll have to wait outside the door in the meantime, from Paul's somewhat wild look you can tell that he's been drinking, let's see if I have to act before the protagonist arrives]
Eira upon hearing that voice, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
'Wait, why am I relieved?
Eira was confused for a moment, but when she saw Paul lock the door, her gaze turned cold.
"Paul, what do you want to do?
Paul stood in front of Eira and spoke while eating the body of Eira with his eyes.
- Eira, I have been chasing you for so long and you have ignored me. Today I'm going to make you fall in love with me completely!
Although Eira knew it wouldn't come to that, she couldn't help but feel disgusted, and all plans to talk to him went down the drain as if she were sure nothing would happen to him.
"Paul, I advise you not to waste your time!
-Hehe, Miss Eira, even if I'm playing, what can you do?
Paul said as he began to take off his tie.
Eira's teeth itched with anger at such audacity.
At the same time, Ren's voice sounded again.
[why hasn't this protagonist arrived yet? Paul's lines are over!]
[damn Paul, you would have taken a little longer! Since when are you so punctual, you damn bastard!? I guess I can't help it, let's buy time for the protagonist, thank me later for taking care of your wife, I hate acts of rape, even if it's against a stupid woman]
Eira at that moment felt more calm than angry knowing that Ren had some conscience and wouldn't leave her like this.
When Paul took off his tie, there was a knock on the door, but Paul decided to shout.
- Get out of here, I'm busy.
- My lord, it is urgent.
the knocks felt ringing constantly.
-ugh, damn.
Paul threw away his tie and headed for the door.
Opening the door, Ren appeared with a small box in his hand.
-for his amusement my lord.
Paul was surprised for a moment, but he nodded.
- very good.
Ren handed the little box to Paul, Paul then closed the door.
Eira was stunned.
'what kind of help is that? Didn't you just help him?
Eira became angry at Ren for her actions, but when she heard her voice, she became confused.
[That should have been enough, with my magic already recovered, it only took one touch to lower the testosterone that her brain was producing, so for now they should be fine]
Eira was confused about what Ren was saying, but she had no choice but to continue nodding when she saw Paul no longer looking at her with lust, but sitting next to her bed.
-Eira, I would give my life for you, why don't you love me? What do I need to do to get your heart?
[damn, this guy is pitiful, he gives everything for a woman, only to have said woman stabs him in the chest with a knife while she hugs another man...damn, doesn't that make her a bitch ?]
'...
[wait...damn, I lowered all his testosterone, but seeing Eira's body made him produce a lot more instantly, can you stop being such a sensual, woman?]
'Is it my fault?
Eira felt ridiculous with this voice.
why Paul started looking at her calves with lust again.
[um... I guess I'll have to do something to deduct my pay]
*knock
They knocked on the bedroom door again, making Paul desperate.
-damn! If he is the same guy, I will eliminate him.
Paul slammed the door open, seeing Ren again, he didn't think twice and pulled out a gun, surprising both Eira and Ren.
-I told you to wait outside.
Eira, seeing a firearm pointed at Ren, felt terrified, after all, who wants to see someone die in front of you? Plus, Ren was the only reason she wasn't raped yet.
Eira momentarily forgot that Ren put her in that position in the first place.
Ren, on the other hand, looked at the muzzle of the gun that was pointed at her forehead.
[is this guy seriously pointing a gun at me? Have you lost the will to live?]
.
.
.
Ren, who saw the gun pointed at her forehead, was a little annoyed, but he had already knocked on the door, there was no turning back.
At that moment, Ren felt a presence coming at full power.
[wait a minute?... it seems like he's already here, perfect, they won't deduct my pay!]
Paul shouted angrily when he saw Ren in silence.
-what do you want now!?
"We have problems, sir
- what?
At that moment a powerful voice filled with anger was heard.
- Paul you bastard! How dare you kidnap my woman!?
Both Paul and Ren saw a man in a security guard uniform running towards them at full power, his eyes were red with anger and his fists were clenched.
Paul, remembering the little guard, scoffed.
- Ha, damn Kyou, who do you think you are to interrupt my fun? guards! hit him!
Paul put the gun in his pocket, while he looked mockingly at Kyou, Ren took the opportunity to destroy the safety of the gun and not be able to use it again.
[ready, weapon neutralized, the plot will continue as it should]
The 4 bodyguards who were in a hidden hallway came into the light and ran towards Kyou.
Kyou seeing 4 men with electric sticks, snorted as he responded.
-hum, garbage!
Paul watched as his 4 bodyguards were knocked out with just 4 hits, leaving him scared as he pulled the gun on him.
-go dead!
Kyou seeing the gun, became serious for a moment until he saw Paul that he couldn't even remove the safety.
-hum!
Ren, who was watching the entire show from the side, heard the voice of the system in his ear.
[story event- kidnapping and rescue of the first heroine- in progress.]
Ren nodded to himself with a smile before watching Paul get hit, but at the same moment that Kyou was a few meters away from Paul, Paul grabbed Ren's shoulder pulled him over, and then closed the door to the room.
Being dragged back into the room, Ren was left beside himself.
[what's going on with this guy? Can't you see they're about to hit you? Could you be a little more professional with your homework?]
Even so, Ren spoke with respect.
"Is something wrong, young master?"
- Don't you see that they are about to hit me? Help me!
[What if I get some money from you? will be useful for that child]
Eira, who was in bed, couldn't help but look ridiculous.
Ren nodded to himself but answered Paul seriously.
"That's not part of the deal young master.
-damn, I'll give you more! Just be a shield while I call my reinforcements with your phone.
Ren deliberately had his phone in his hand, he knew that what Paul did was secret and he couldn't bring a phone with him, like a typical villain.
"I'll think about it if it gives me a good raise.
Paul in desperation nodded.
- how much?
"$50,000?"
- made.
Ren handed his phone to Paul as he headed to the door, the whole conversation did not last more than 10 seconds, seconds that it took Kyou to break the reinforced door of the hotel.
Eira looked at Ren from the bed with her beautiful eyes thinking about the play she was playing right now.
Meanwhile, Ren thought.
[let's see... the protagonist will enter right now shouting "damn Paul, how dare you kidnap my woman, if I let you free, I Kyou will abandon my name" or something like that... and with those words, he will shake Eira's heart ...damn, how can such stupid dialogue get your attention? Even worse, such a stupid woman, whatever, let's make some money today]
At this moment the door broke showing the image of a Kyou in anger.
Seeing Eira tied up on the bed, he yelled angrily at Paul who was behind Ren handling a phone.
-Damn Paul, how dare you kidnap my woman, if I set you free, I Kyou will abandon my name.
[ did I not say? Look at that protagonist aura, look at that posture, Eira must have already fallen for that... damn.]
Ren felt cringe seeing the scene of a live novel, but he responded nonetheless.
"I won't let you pass.
[look at this, this dedication! Like a professional bodyguard, right... I'm a kidnapper now, minor details, as long as I get paid, everything's fine]
- Hum, a nobody like you doesn't deserve my attention.
Kyou ran towards Ren with his fist ready.
[Let's see... I have to last a little bit so that they give me money, but not so much that I won't be on the protagonist's radar]
Ren ran towards Kyou in the same way and caught Kyou's fist. After the collision, Kyou did not retreat, but Ren took several steps back, destroying the wooden floor while wincing in pain.
Kyou was surprised by this nobody, he used enough force to knock out a bodyguard similar to those outside, but Ren did not fall.
Kyou moved forward again while Ren defended himself.
The protagonist's punches were fast and heavy, causing loud sounds when they collided with Ren's palms, Ren deliberately dodged a blow that left a dent in the wall, so that it would be better considered by Paul.
A few seconds passed when Kyou threw a punch in which Ren decided that the show was over and this blow would be the right one.
Ren flew to the corner of the room with a dull thud, shattering a bit, and passed out on the floor.
Seeing that, Paul couldn't help but tremble, he only saw the aftermath of Ren's fight, and the room was already destroyed by collateral damage, his body weakened while he tried to speak.
- What, what do you want to do? I don't care who you are, disappear right now, I can put the past behind me and pretend I didn't see you!
- otherwise, all Neum will have no place for you!
Hearing Paul's threat, Kyou smiled disdainfully.
He began to walk Paul step by step showing his domineering aura.
Paul backed away while he trembled like a sparrow before an ultimate predator, of course, because of that dominating aura.
-Likewise, you are still nothing in my eyes!
Kyou made an evil smile before rushing to Paul, but before he could even move, Paul rolled his eyes and fainted directly, leaving Eira and Kyou confused.
[ready, at least you won't have to be in a coma for long enough for the next event, plus my performance deserves 5 stars, I'm sure you'll remember my name, I guess mission accomplished]
Eira heard Ren's voice and realized that the bastard did something to Paul to make him faint, but she didn't know what he did.
Kyou snorted at Paul's pathetic sight and turned to Eira to look at her with a smile.
upon seeing Eira Kyou, he had to admit that Eira is really beautiful.
At this moment, she is wearing an OL white shirt and a black skirt clinging to her hips, which makes her waist narrow and highlights her curves, along with those charming and cold eyes...
She exudes a unique icy temperament and noble charm.
The shock and greed in her eyes disappeared in an instant, and Kyou smiled evilly.
- I'm sorry, Mr. Eira, I'm late.
Kyou thought evilly.
'I just saved her at the last moment, the hero saving the beauty! She should be grateful yes or yes, she might even promise me directly.
but Kyou didn't expect that Eira didn't look at him at all, his eyes fell on the fainted Ren.
[what's wrong with this stupid woman? Your husband is looking at you, where is your face of a maiden in love? can you be more professional?]
Ren, although he had his eyes closed, could feel Eira's gaze.
Kyou seeing that, thought that Eira must be worried that she killed someone, thinking about how this woman must be taking care of him, he assured.
- Don't worry, just knock them out, they'll wake up in a few hours until the police arrive.
[Bro, who do you want to impress? I just made your hit "touch me", I just need you to leave so I can go home, well, there's still my pay, right? That's true, I better take Paul home and on the way use the phone that he must have left in the car, you should thank me, Paul, I'll just take my payment! like a good honest worker]
Kyou approached Eira, he had the idea of releasing Eira's ropes and carrying her like a princess to the car, and Ren as if she knew what was going to happen, he thought.
[ oh really? I know you are the protagonist, but this woman was about to be raped, couldn't you have a little more awareness? How are you going to carry it to the car? Although this woman must indeed be delighted with him, right? It doesn't matter, I will untie her ropes, if she lets them carry her it's her problem]
Eira, who was analyzing the situation all this time, came to her conclusions.
'So this world is a novel eh? everything happened just like that bastard said.
The second thing he thought was.
'What kind of brainless author wrote this to say that she will be enchanted by this guy?' At least that bastard has some conscience to untie me.
Eira thought before getting out of bed, leaving Kyou surprised.
-you? Wasn't she tied up?
Kyou acted like a gentleman, but Eira had already understood Kyou's intentions, despite her being "saved" by him, her attitude was cold.
" I had already untied myself alone.
- Do you want me to take you home?
"No, I'll go alone.
Eira looked at the "fainted" Ren before opening the door and immediately leaving leaving Kyou frustrated at not being able to feel the frozen president's body.
Kyou looked at Ren and Paul and huffed before leaving as well.
When no one was there, Ren stood up calmly while he thought.
'wow, looks like he turned out as he expected.
At that moment Ren heard the voice of the system.
[mission accomplished- event complete- score of 100 points for being in the entire event process]
' not bad
[collecting the skill loan...]
' sad.
[you were going to receive the god-level hacking skill, upgrading]
'Brother system, how is that?
[simple host, you were going to receive the same skill as the loan, since it was the same, the system only updated it]
'Thank you brother system.
Meanwhile, Eira arrived at the entrance of the hotel, where a limousine was waiting for her, in which she entered directly with only one question in her head.
'Everything I experienced... am I just the product of a writer? Does my life have meaning?
Eira left with those thoughts.
