"Take this money and never show your face in this city again."
In a room that looks much like a college dormitory. A very beautiful and charming woman is standing in front of a teenager, While a check for 1 million dollars is lying on the coffee table.
On the opposite side of a beautiful charming woman was standing a very handsome man.
At this time he appears to be lost in his thoughts completely ignoring the woman. This enraged the woman and slammed her bag on the table to get his attention back.
*Bang*
"What!! It's not enough to buy you? Then tell me how much you want to leave my sister alone."
The woman was extremely angry. She slammed her hands hard on the coffee table and said these words giving a disgusted look to the teenager in front of her.
'What the fuck is happening? Why is this woman giving me money? Wait- Who the fuck is she?'
The teenager did not pay any attention to the girl but thought to himself. One moment he was reading a dog blood romance novel and the next he was here.
As for why he was reading that thing? Simply because he already read through most of the good Xiaobai novels, To not get bored and run out of his good novels stock completely, He heavy-heartedly decided to read those dog blood romance novels, Where logic didn't exist.
"Alex!!!"
That woman roared loudly, Which brought Alex back to his senses.
"If you think you can disrespect me just because my sister is supporting then you are very mistaken. She only likes your pretty face, So tell me who do you think she will choose, Her blood sister or a green tea white face like you?"
The woman stood up angrily, Showing her seductive figure fully. She was fuming with anger, She knows the man in front of her just using her big sister for her money, It's been just six months and her sister already spend hundreds of thousands on him, Though that money is nothing to them but this man even spending this much money didn't even let her sister touch his fingers, So she felt pity to spend money on someone like him.
"Say your price and break up with her, Then never show your face to her again."
The woman took a deep breath to calm herself down and finally said these words. She didn't want this man to be with her sister. If not for her sister not allowing it, She long since has put this man under six feet underground.
Alex didn't answer her right away but started sorting out the new memories in his mind.
He realizes that he was passed through, Not only that he was passed through in the woman-respected novel as an early low-level villain.
This novel is a weird one, Not just because this was a woman-respected world but because the protagonist of this world is a man.
Yeah, as you guessed, This novel is totally a novel, Where the protagonist goes all around and shows his "manliness" to win the hearts of beauties all around.
Heroines too are different as they are just gender-switched romance novels with male leads.
Like Domineering President, Leader of the Mafia's leader, Long lost son (Daughter) of a powerful hidden family, A hidden master in the city, etc. Their personalities are the same but they all are heroines.
The one in front of him is the little sister of the first heroine of this novel, Domineering President troop, Alia. The president of one of the top 10 beauty companies, Exotica.
And he is the first green tea villain, Who was using his looks to be the boyfriend of the first heroine. He exploits her for hundreds of thousands of dollars but she too was a smart woman as she never handed money to him but paid for his stuff, Like college fees, clothes, luxury brands stuff, etc.
Her sister and the original owner of this body never realize why she did this but Alex who knows the personality of the Domineering President knows.
She is using her money to control him, People like that really don't care about little money like that but she as a domineering president troop heroine is obsessed with control.
She wants to be in control of everything, So if using money she can control him, She will gladly use the money to do it.
After all, she needs him, Not because she loves him but to show off. He is a very handsome man, And in this world of Women's respect can even throw those other male models miles away in appearance.
So she was using him to show her status in the gathering of higher-ups, In current Alex's eyes, This was a mutually beneficial relationship as he getting what he wants and she too benefited from it but a sister of heroine Alia, Rose is not able to see that and barged in his college dormitory to bribe him to leave her sister.
If he goes by the original plot, He should have denied her request strongly and thrown her out of his room but now he dares not to follow that plot as he knows after he done that, Rose will meet with the protagonist and use him to tempt Alie to give up on him.
As the protagonist enters the story, His bad luck starts, He is used solely as a faceslap device by the author.
"888,389! This is my price to leave her."
After thinking of a solution, Alex spoke these words with a heavy voice acting as if he couldn't bear to say these words but he said it putting a stone on his chest.
[Ding! Conditions are met! The Female Raider System is bounding...
Congratulations. The " The Female Raider System" is bound.]
As his words fell, A mechanical voice rang in his mind, and a blue system panel appeared in front of his eyes.

Seeing the system appearing out of nowhere startled Alex but he suppressed his surprise, There are still problems that he had to handle.
'System opens gift packages.'
Finding there was a gift package, He decided to open it. Maybe it will give him something to escape this imminent crisis.
[Ding! Gift packages are being opened...
Title of "Charmer" acquired...
Title of "Milf Hunter" acquired...
God-Level acting skill...
God-Level skill upgrade card...
Eye of truth acquired...
50 universal stats points acquired...
Selection and Quest function is unlocked.]
Alex looked at the rewards but he didn't have time to take a look at them. Thankfully he got acting skills, Which he needed the most.
'I don't know how powerful this god-level skill will be.'
Alex thought about it and decided to use it.
"Just 888,389 Universal coins? Humph, Take this 1 million check, I am not stingy."
Rose was startled to hear this price. She thought this lion would open its mouth and ask for a sky-high amount but he asked even less of them, which she initially offered.
But she didn't care. Anyway, this is what she wanted. She even offered an initial amount to him, If that means she can get rid of this leech from her sister.
"No!! I just want 888,389. That's all, No penny less or more."
Alex used his action skill, His whole aura changed, At this time his voice is choking and he tries hard to hide it.
There was misery and unwillingness in his eye but he put up a facade of being strong in front of her.
"That- That okay."
When Rose saw him like this, For a moment there was a pang in her heart, She felt like she was bullying the pure house boy. There was a moment when she wanted to take him in her arms and console him. Apologies but she quickly came to suppress her desire.
"Whose name should I write this check?"
After writing the name on the check, She hesitantly asked the receiver's name as it is mandatory by this world's government, Even if you know the receiver's name became unlike others this world's check directly registers on the receiver's name, and no one else can cash in that check other then them.
"You should- "
Alex had a plan in his mind related to this check but just as he was about to say his name system voice rang in his mind.
[Ding! World choice is detected...
Selection function triggered...
• [1] Say your name and receive the check on your name
Reward : 1 billion universe coins (Currency of this world)
(Note : All this money will be credited to your account with legal means, the Host doesn't have to worry.)
• [2] Say the name of the person you are going to give this money to.
Reward : Strong hidden background
(Note : Memories of the family and identity will be integrated into this world, There will be logical reasons why it was not revealed before, the Host can rest assured.)
• [3] Say Rose's name and say you are just joking with her
Reward : -50 Favorability of Rose (Current 20) ]
Alex halted his action and looked dumbfoundedly at options and rewards.
The first two were normal as rewards given by the degree of threat of it, But what's with the last option, Not only does he place a protagonist as a threat for him but also make enemies with someone like Rose.
No matter how dumb she is but she still is the daughter of a big family like Miller. One of the top 4 families in the city of Berlin.
Choosing the last option is equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot with your own gun.
"I chose 2."
Alex decided to go with option 2. Although option one is good and with the least risk but reward of having a strong hidden family is really tempting.
After all, this is a world of novels, and Money is not that hard to get by but if you don't have a powerful background, You will be done no matter how much money you have.
So even if he knows to reveal that person's name will disgust Rose and might even pull hatred of Alia as she is very possessive of her things but he decided to choose to reveal her name.
"Write it on Grace Smith's name."
Alex, using his acting skill, said to Rose. Have to say this skill was terrifying, Using this skill he felt like he was viewing himself in 3rd perspective as he was acting in front of her.
"Okay- Huh Grace? Your classmate Grace? Grace Smith?"
Rose frowned, Grace Smith is a classmate of Alex and is one of his licking dogs.
Her sister warned her to stay away from Alex before but she never thought Alex and Grace were this close.
You know once she writes Grace's name on this check no one other than her can take money out of it. She never thought this green tea bastard was playing a double game with her sister.
The little good feeling raised in her heart also drooped. After writing their name on the check, She threw it on his face and stormed out of the room.
She didn't want to see his handsome but disgusting face.
[Ding! the 2nd selection option is complete...
Rewards are being distributed...
• Host now is the heir of the hidden family of Winchester, All the related data is being transmitted in your mind.]
Alex didn't pay any attention to Rose, He quickly closed the door and started examining the rewards.
"System tells me your functions."
Alex lay on the bed and started communicating with the system. He can guess the function of it from the name but he still needs specific information.
[Ding! The Host The Female Raider System is like its name suggests to raid Heroine, But it's not limited to heroines. As long as the target is a woman, the Host can raid her but the rewards might not be as rich as raiding the heroine.
The system also has a shop function, Host can buy anything from the system using Raiders points like the following but not limited to Real estate property, Company shares, Skills, Superpowers, artifacts, and Might even be a beautiful woman, You can think and the system will provide it for an equivalent price.
There are other functions of the system, The host will find out as the host unlock it.]
"Hmm, Quite simple enough, Tell me about other information like titles and skills."
Alex understands how this system works, He just had to raid a woman's special heroines and will receive rewards.
[Ding! Titles are the passive aura of the host. The hosts can receive titles by system rewards, Mission rewards, or When the host met the conditions for it. The current title's effects are like the following...
• Charmer : This Title let you easily get the affection of the opposite sex. The more naive and simple-minded a woman is, The more it will make it easy for you to increase her affection for you.
• Milf Hunter : It's able to increase the sexual attraction of the older(According to host appearance age.) opposite sex for you from 50% to 100%(Depending on how much she is loyal to her partner. If she does not have a partner, It will be 100% attractive).
The skills are the proficiency of a certain thing. It was divided into 4 parts like the following...
Mortal level : The mortal skill level is LV 1 to LV 10, But the highest mortal ever reached was an LV8. This is the ceiling of the skill for mortal beings, As their life span didn't allow them to learn further.
Pseudo-Immortal Level: This level has a total of 50 levels from Lv 11 to LV 60. At this level, skill can take a glimpse into the laws of nature. On this level, skill can affect the world on a very small level.
Immortal Level : This level has a total of 39 levels from LV 61 to LV 99. At this level, users can directly affect the world and its laws on a large scale depending on their power level.
Anyone who possesses this level of skill is crowned as the god of (Given skill). This is the limit of every being in the universe.
God-Level: This level of skill never appeared in this world. God-level skill is the LV100. Once someone reaches this level, Skill will no longer be just a skill that affects the law of the world but becomes the law itself.
(Note : The reason why it's impossible to reach this level is that, The experience value for each level will be doubled, While the exp bar will reset back to zero.
Like...
LV 1 (0/100 Exp), LV 2 (0/200 Exp), LV 3 (0/400 Exp)...LV 10 (0/102,400 Exp)
Current skills information is like the following...
Cooking LV 1 : This is an entry-level skill, The culinary students have this level of skill. This level of skill makes a host culinary student-level chef.
Singing LV 2 : This is a mid-level skill on the earth, Most of the newcomer professional singers have this level. This skill makes the host a professional-level singer.
Piano LV 4 : This is one of the million levels on the earth, The very genius people have, This skill can help you gain lots of frames. This level of piano music can touch the soul of the listener on a very low level.
God-Level Acting : This skill makes the host the best actor in this universe, No one can see pass through your facade nor will superpowers affect the host.
This skill is the law itself, Acting with this level of skill will physically make changes in the host body. Nothing in this world can detect as fake.
(Note: Host will not be harmed until host uses this skill for acting, So even if you take a fatal strike head-on, Once host lifts the skill, The skill turns back to its original state.)
Superpowers are the special unique skills one in millions of people able to awaken, There are many type of superpower from battle to support one but each one are put person ouy of normal humans limit.
Current super power is like following...
Eye of truth : This superpower is unique to this system, This will let host view basic information of the people with them finding out.
(Note : There is not limit of power level on this skill and can't be blocked by other artifacts.)
There is another category of things called consumables, They are one-time or limited uses things.
The current consumables of the host are as follows...
God-Level skill experience card : Once this is used on the designated skill, That skill will permanently turn into the god-level skill.
(Note : This is a one-time consumable item.)
Stats points are used to improve the physical attributes of the host. Except for IQ stat, others start consuming 1 stat point per 1 point add.
For IQ until 150 IQ needs 10 stats per 1 IQ stat and after that, until 200 IQ needed 20 stats per 1 IQ point.)
Attribute points information is like the following...
The strength stat represents the physical power of the person.
The Stamina stat represents the endurance of the person.
The Vitality stat represents the recovery speed and health of the person.
The Mana stat represents the remaining power source as the mana of a person.
The Luck stat represents the hidden attribute of luck.

The IQ stat represents the intelligence of the person.
The Charm stat represents the charm and attractiveness of the person.
(Note : Normally no one can change their charm, They are fixed the birth)
(Note : Rules of the normal world are not applied to the host who possesses the system.)]
"System!!! Aren't you too strong?"
Alex was startled by the revelation, a God-level skill that is labeled as not existing in this universe, Was given to him in the beginning and that's too two of them.
Isn't that too broken? Where is static growth, He just reached the peak in the beginning.
Just look at the description of the skill, He is technically immune to any damage, While using this skill. What he had to be afraid of anymore?
[Ding! The host please do not underestimate the power level of this world. In this world, superpowers exist, Although those strong might not be able to harm you but they surely can capture you.
Not to mention the protagonist is set to have the strongest superpowers. As the host is tagged as a villain by the world, No matter what the host does, the Host will be targeted by the protagonist.
So it's recommended to host to target a protagonist but the host is free to do what he wants if he doesn't want to follow the plot. This system will not restrict the host's actions.]
"!!!"
"How could I miss them?"
Alex was startled when the system mentioned the superpowers, The plot he received in his mind mentioned them.
That's right, This world has superpowers. Although those individuals are hiding in the world, At the beginning of the plot but later as the plot progresses those monsters who were hiding deep come out, and the world steps into a new era.
"*Sigh* Forget about them for now, It's still a long way until that happens but for now let's raid some heroines."
Alex shakes his head and throws out those worries. For now, he can only pay attention to raiding the heroines.
He was glad he chose to change the plot, in the beginning, After all, the system just said that he will be targeted by the protagonist no matter what he did, So the option of making friends with him was thrown out of the window.
"Now first just focus on saving my ass and she will help him to do that."
Alex lifted the check written for Grace Smith with a smirk on his face. He was not a hypocrite like a protagonist, Who had to make excuses for being with the woman.
He just likes a beautiful woman, That's a genuine and pure answer.
"System put 40 stats in my luck, While remaining ones in my charm."
Alex looked at his pitiful luck and felt very bad. After all, as a low-level villain he didn't have much luck. He wanted to put all the points in it but the system said luck wouldn't have any significant effect until it crossed the barrier of average level, Which was 100 stats points.
So he decided to put all the rest in his charm, As this was the stat that crossed the average barrier and was most useful for him in this world.
After all, this is the woman's respected world. His face is his wealth and fortune. This also makes it easy for him to attack those heroines.
[Ding! The 40 stats are added in the luck and 10 stats are added in the charm...
50 stats deducted...
The remaining stats are Zero...
All stats successfully added.]
As the system's voice fell, A warm current ran through his whole body. It went from bones to skin and then at last spread all over his face it was dispirited.
At the same time, Power in the dark moves and a very comfortable feeling spreads on his body. This was a sign of his increased luck.
"Huh, Let's check how much these 10 stats improve my charm."
After that comfortable feeling disappeared, He wanted to see, How much these 10 stats improved his charms. So he goes towards the mirror in the room.
"Who...Who is he?"
The moment Alex saw himself he was shocked to the core. He never was this beautiful person. He wasn't even able to identify himself.
His eyebrow was sword-like, His eyes were like a lotus, His eyes were void like deep and infant-like pure,His skin was soft, milk-white luminous. His height too improved to 6ft. There was also an 8 pack on his abdomen. The aura of purity was enveloping him.
He at this moment looks like an elf who came out of a fairy tale.
"That System I just added 10 stats. How come there are these drastic changes?"
Alex couldn't believe it in his eyes. He was indeed very handsome before on 130 stat but after adding just 10 points, He transcends the human limit.
If you compare current self to 130 stat one, Then his past self looks like the mediocre front of him. This really does not look like just 10 stat improvement.
[Ding! Host the reason Charm attributes can't be increased normally not only because there is no sure way to improve it but also because the charm attribute is counted in the decibel scale after it crosses the average 100 attribute mark.
So 140 Charm stats is 10 times more than a 130, Hence why you had these drastic changes, and why are most people not able to improve it.]
"Then can't I just improve my charm until no one can resist me,system?"
Alex, seeing this scary fact, asked. Charm is the key to raiding the heroine and getting rewards. If so then he can just make himself irresistible for any woman. That way he can easily raid them.
[Ding! The Host can do that but it's not recommended, At least not until the host has the enough power to defend himself.
This world is different from the normal world host used to. Although this world is based on the novel, This world is not fake but real, not just black and white words in the book. If you increase your charm that much then it might force out those hidden powerhouse to come out early to snatch you for themselves. Or worse they might even use you as a cauldron to increase their power.
Remember power corrupts the world and beauty is a original sin. ]
"That...Thank you system for reminding me."
The system directly pours cold water on his ideas. Yeah, beauty is good but if you don't have the strength to back it up then just wait and get used to those evil women.
His thinking still needs time to change. This is a woman's respected world, not his previous world. Having high charm is scary think in this world.
Being beautiful in this world is both a blessing and a curse. If you do not have enough strength protect yourself, Then you will become just a commodity to be used by those women in power.
"For the time being, There is no need to increase charm, So let's worry about gaining strength."
Alex remained himself to be careful and started focusing on improving his strength.
He didn't have a choice as the threat of the protagonist was still haunting him.
"System, Will you give me a target or can I choose a raid target myself?"
Then Alex asked an important question. He didn't want to be under the system of mercy for choosing targets. He wants the freedom to choose his targets on his own.
[Ding! The Host didn't have to worry, System would not hinder the host's choices. The Host can choose any target he wants to raid, Reward depending on the Beauty, Status, Effect on the plot, etc. of the target will be disrupted
It's recommended to raid heroines first but the host is free to do what he wants
(Note : There might be selection option will triggered on certain individuals about the raid or not but it's optional for the host to choose raid them or not.)]
"Oh, If it's like that then it's fine."
Alex sighed a relief, He really hates those systems, That control its host choices. Although the system said it will give him a choice of options like before but that too is optional or might as well be advantageous for him.
As that option let him glimpse into the future a little by showing the consequences of his actions like that third option did.
"Okay, Time to meet the 2nd heroine of the novel."
Alex pulled out his phone and opened a conversation between himself and the 2nd heroine of this novel.
After reading the conversation, He really wanted to slap his predecessor to death.
Licking dog no.13 : Alex are you there?
Licking dog no.13 : Hello!?
Licking dog no.13 : Please don't be angry, I will send you money for your bag soon.
Licking dog no.13 : Alex, Will you be playing piano today? I really want to hear your play.
Licking dog no.13 : [5000 Universal coin is sent to you.]
Most Handsome Boy : [Received the money.]
Licking dog no.13 : Alex, Did you receive the money? I just send it, Please don't be angry now *Begging emoji*
Most Handsome Man : Okay *Thumbs-up emoji*
Licking dog no.13 : I know you never be angry at me *Happy emoji*.
Licking dog no.13 : Did you eat, Alex? If not, how about we go to a restaurant? It will be my treat.
After that, A registered person on his phone named Licking dog no.13 sent countless messages but there was no reply from him.
Alex was really dumbfounded reading this chat history between them. At a glance, anyone can tell he was just using her for money, But she never stopped simping for him.
He even saved her name as Licking dog no.13. You know in this world, Your name is shown as what other person saved your number as on their phone.
His name here appears as Most Handsome Man. It was because she saved his number under this name, So he saving her name as Licking dog no.13 will be showing her too.
He just didn't get how she was able to take this level of disrespect. In his mind, he crowned her full fledged simp. Only they have this thick skin.
After that, he started to read the latest messages he received from her, Which were came from yesterday.
Alex started reading the latest messages.
Licking dog no.13 : Alex! That-That can you send me those 5000 back?
Licking dog no.13 : Alex! Please don't be angry but my mother is in hospital, She needs to have urgent surgery in a week, If not...
Licking dog no.13 : Doctor said surgery needs 888,389 but they, seeing our condition, offered installment payment, if I paid little money in advance.They will do that surgery.
Licking dog no.13 : Please I am begging you, I am just 5000 Universal coins short of 100,000. A deposit for the surgery.
Licking dog no.13 : Alex, Please Please reply, I will definitely pay you back 10,000 but please give me 5000 back. Please!!!
Licking dog no.13 : Alex, My mothers life is on the line, At least look at what I did for you in the past 3 years, At least for that, Lend me 5000. I will definitely give you back.
Licking dog no.13 : Alex, Doctor said if I didn't deposit money until tomorrow morning, They would not be able to provide me with this opportunity. Please I don't want to lose my mother.
Licking dog no.13: Alex, I will be waiting for you in 1st Berlin hospital, I will no longer bother you with my messages. Hope you will come.
This was the last message she sent just this morning. After that there were no extra messages.
"I deserved to be a villain."
After reading the chat log, Alex can only say this His character was a pure self-centered villain. His only profit was in his eyes.
The Licking dog no.13 was just one of the many girls he used as a spare tire to get money But didn't dare to act bluntly or get close to them, After all, he on the bright side was the boyfriend of Alia Miller, The President of one of the top 3 companies in the state.
And Heir of the Miller family, One of the top 4 strongest families in this Berlin city.
He can't put on a green hat someone like her, Right? After all, she was not only possessive but also a clean freak.
In the novel, His personality was one of the reasons, Which gives the protagonist a chance to slap him and gain the favorability of multiple women.
And this Licking dog no.13 was one of them because according to the plot, He will not go to her, and tomorrow when she is desperate and disappointed, the Protagonist will snoop in and gain the trust of both mother and daughter.
That's right, This is that kind of novel. The protagonist was just a woman hunter but making various excuses for his actions.
The prominent one is his superpower need to gain strength, And because this novel was made for a male protagonist, polygamy was not banned here but legal, It's just that most people chose to be monogamous.
And it was even rare for men to have more wives but the government was the who encouraged other man to have a ployamy because of the low birth rates, Which was dropped significantly.
This is the reason why the protagonist was not afraid of being hatched to death by his harem. After all, women in this world are scary, not to mention the protagonist's harem has either a powerful woman or a strong-status woman.
"Thankfully, I already thought ahead of it."
Alex lifted the check in front of his eyes. This will be the key to a breakthrough for him. This way he can start to save his ass.
"Let's go and meet her."
Alex hurriedly changed his clothes, Put on a very good-looking white shirt and navy blue jeans. Before going out he didn't forget to wear a face mask, Not because of the virus but because to hide his beauty.
After all, he didn't even have the strength to kill even a chicken. He didn't want unwanted attention, As that will create trouble for him.
....
In the Berlin city 1st hospital, A young very beautiful woman with a tempting figure, Pacing back and forth in the doorway of the ward.
From time to time, Some men tried to give her a hint but she didn't pay any attention to them. All attention is on the entrance door of the ward.
Every time that door opened, hope appeared in her beautiful honey-colored eyes but as those eyes didn't find who they were waiting for, That hope died out as part of her heart died with it.
"Will he really come?"
Grace murmured and the worry in her heart intensified. She was afraid, Afraid that what her friends said about Alex was right.
They always say that he was just using her. He didn't care about her and even pointed out that he saved her name as a licking dog but she didn't pay them any attention.
For her, he was a pure boy, A prince. Who walked out of a fairy tale. In her heart, She made excuses that he might not be able to understand his behavior and hurt others.
As a matter of her name? In her eyes, it was a joke that Alex was playing with her. It was a test to see how much she loves him and has trust in him.
But now that belief started to crumble. As time passed by, Her heart was getting heavy. She didn't want to admit it but she started to doubt her belief.
She still remembers, When she first time saw him, He was alone in the music room practicing piano diligently, He at that time was looking pure and eternal.
That was the moment she fell for him, She had love at first sight but she was conscious of her identity. She thought she as a poor girl didn't deserve to yearn for someone like him. It might be just her fantasy but then everything changes.
One day he himself approached her with a very stunning smile on his face. At that moment all the logic was washed down the drain, She decided to chase after him.
Soon she got his number, Even though he didn't talk much but that was enough for her. She had hoped that the fire of her love would melt his ice-cold heart But now...
"*Sigh* Forget it, He is way out of my league, He might didn't even know my name."
Grace sighed and worriedly looked towards the intensive care ward. This is where her mother admitted.
The doctor just talk to her, If she doesn't deposit money soon then the offer of installment payment will be nulled, And then she needs to pay all the money for surgery to happen.
"Don't worry mom, I will not let anything happen to you."
Grace clenched her fist to calm down her worried heart.
'Just hope, This plot didn't have any anomaly because of my presence.'
Alex said this in his mind as he parked the car in the parking lot of the hospital. After that he got out of the electric car, Which was given to him by Alia.
Have to say it's not that bad to eat soft rice. Anytime you have a problem, Your president's girlfriend will take care of it with just one call.
'She might get the news of me accepting the money by now.'
He suddenly thought of the high cold figure. Even if it was just a blurred memory, He had to admit, He had never seen a beautiful woman like that.
But he who knows the plot wanted to stay away from this woman as far as he can, Became heHe know how perverted her personality is, She can do anything to be in control, Not to mention how possessive her personality is, Even if she doesn't want it others can't have it, She rather destroy it then share with other.
If not for the system remainder, That protagonist will target him no matter what. He had long since left this city to be away from her. He didn't even plan on raiding her at that time.
'Grace should be desperate at this time, It's the right time to strike.'
Alex shakes his head to throw out this thought and focuses on the current objective.
According to the plot, Grace should right now start to doubt him, and now if he gives her a helping hand in need, she will not only be grateful to him but also her guilt of doubting him will double her affection for him.
After all, People care more about receiving charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake. So he had to give her money before the protagonist appear
"Hello miss, Can you please tell me, In which ward the patient named Gloria Smit is admitted?"
After entering the hospital, He realized he didn't know which ward Gloria, Grace's mother, was admitted to, So he had to go and enquire about it in the enquiry section.
"How Handsome...Woah!! I-I am so sorry, I just blurted out nonsense, Sir please ignore that, Th-That Gloria Smit is in ward number 3-B on the third floor."
The recipients seated there couldn't help but blurted out these words after she saw Alex. Even if he was wearing the mask, It couldn't able to hide his charm at all. That mask is as futile, hiding the sun with one's hand.
But then after realizing, What she said, She panicked. This day and age are different from the past. In the country, there were lots of new laws passed for the protection of mens.
Her saying this can be misunderstood as harassment, Which is a crime punishable by law.
"Thank you, Miss, both for compliments and giving me directions."
Alex on the other hand didn't think like her, He who had not gotten used to this world yet, Was quite overwhelmed by her compliment. He couldn't even remember the last time someone complimented him.
So he wholeheartedly thanked her and went towards the elevator not realizing how much his simple words affected the poor recipients.
She stood there dumbfounded . She thought there would be ridicule, Insult, or complaint waiting for her but to her disbelief, He thanked her. She can feel genuine surprise and gratitude.
'How come there is this pure boy in this world?'
Recipients just stared blankly at the fading back of Alex until he completely went out of her sight. Even then her eyes were unwilling to leave that place, Where he disappeared. That enchanting voice and words keep ringing in her mind.
[Ding! Hosts gain the affection of the opposite sex.
30 raider values are received..]
When Alex entered the elevator, The system voice rang in his head.
He was not surprised to get this notification as he already received it multiple times since he got out of the house.
It turns out that he can receive raider value from every opposite sex as long as he gains their little affection, and with his looks, it's not hard to receive initial affection. So he accumulated close to hundreds of raider points until now.
What surprised him was the value he received now. Before it was just 1 or 2 at max there were 5 raider points but now all of a sudden he received 30 raider points.
'I have to study this function further.'
This anomaly gains his attention. If he finds out what triggered him to receive that many raider points, He can exploit it and after that buy some life-saving whole cards. That way he can calm down the worry in his heart.
After all, the protagonist is the protagonist for a reason; With his luck might encounter some opportunity earlier than then they destined to counter his existence.
*Ding*
In their thinking, He already reached the 3rd floor and the door of the elevator opened.
Alex came out of the elevator and turned left in the direction of 3-B hall.
....
"Can you please lend me 5000 UC? I will give you back as soon as I can- Hello? Hello? Damn it!!!"
Grace wasn't able to put her blind fate in Alex like before, Seed of doubt had already taken root in her heart, So she started to see if she could arrange 5000 UC from somewhere else.
But sadly she has already taken money from everyone who would be willing to lend her. She even mortgaged herhouse and sold most of the things leaving only essentials. That's how she was able to come up with 95,000 UC.
So right now there is no way to get an additional 5000 UC. She can't even raise a single penny more. This is her limit. A mere 95,000 UC is all her life's worth.
"I-I am so-sorry mother, Your daughter is useless *Sob* can't even arrange this little money."
She looked at her unconscious mother through the ward's little glass window. She tried hard not to let those tears filled in her eyes fall.
"No, how can I cry? There is still time, There is still hope, Day has not fallen yet. Alex might come, Mom still has a chance."
Seeing that she wasn't able to hold those pesky tears from breaking out, She decided to put all her trust in one last hope.
Hope that what Alex, created in her heart is true, Hope that he might be just coming here any moment now, Hope that her mother is still alive and had a chance to survive.
So she can't cry. How can a woman cry when there is still hope? So she hardens her heart, Wipes those little tear stains, Which she didn't know when slipped out. Now all she can do is wait.
"Didn't you used to say that woman only cries three times? When they are born, When her father dies, and last, when her mother dies? It's not good to lie Grace."
Suddenly a very enchanting voice broke her train of thought. When she looked up, She saw that handsome face that didn't let her sleep at night.
Now he was looking even more handsome than before, For a moment she was dazed, and then the almost diminished hope in her heart ignited.
'He came, I didn't love the wrong man.'
This was the only thought in her mind. She felt as happy as wandering, finding an oasis in the ruthless desert.
....
'System uses the eye of truth on her and shows me her details.'
As Alex entered ward 3-B and saw Grace seated on the bench, He asked the system to show her information.

Alex already guessed her stats from plot in his mind but he still was surprised, All of her stats are above average.
'Worthy for being a heroine.'
But what he thinks is funny is that even having ten times more luck than the average person, she is still miserable.
Is this logical? Yes for Protagonist and Heroine is very logical things. If they are not that miserable, How can they turn around and slap a villain? So it's necessary for them.
'System, Choose her as a raider target.'
After confirming everything, He commanded the system to lock her as a raider target.
[Ding! Grace Smite selected as a raider target.]
After doing all that Alex approached Grace and said those words in a neutral voice.
He can't help it. In her mind, he was bad at showing his emotions and understanding others feelings like a Tsundere. So he had to bite the bullet and act like one.
Thankfully, He has god-level acting skills. If not, he really can't act as a brain-dead Tsundere.
"Alex you came, You really came. Let's go and pay the deposit, So they can do surgery as soon as possible."
Grace who was ignited with new hope, Didn't mind him mocking her. At this moment she was on cloud nine, Thinking she didn't waste those three years. She loved the right man, and not the kind person her friends described him to be.
She stood up and wiped the trail of mischievous tears, which were still silently falling from her delicate rosy cheeks. After that she hurriedly dragged him to the payment window.
Soon they came to the payment window, Grace quickly brought the payment form and filled it out.
"Alex, Give me 5000 UC, I promise you, I will return this money as soon as possible."
Grace excitedly extended her hands to him, Waiting to get the money from him to pay the deposit.
"That- "
[Ding! The World choice is detected...
Selection fuction is triggered...
Please choose one of the options...].
Alex wanted to explain about the check but the system voice made him swallow back his words.
