Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 361 Party ends but the story starts

[Congratulations host on getting your third kiss from an Arcadian beauty.]

"Henna*** doesn't count. Since that was just to distract her."

[Whatever third times a charm, and she's so charming, I'd say you hit the jackpot.]

[I think you were really lucky tonight, so wanna bet on it and try the lotteries, let's hit the games and have some fun.] System said and brought out dozens of roulette and rolling wheels with all kinds of prizes and items listed in sections. [I got a feeling you'll win something real good tonight.]

As soon as Rio reached his dorms after dropping Rebecca at hers, the system started babbling constantly, interrupting his thoughts as he stood under the cold shower to clear his head.

"Something's off," He said after hearing the constant chatter from the system, which magically didn't consist of a single joke or teasing remark at all. Not even the pedo threat for which he even paid points for as fun.

[Nothing's off. Stop being edgy and let's hit the casino.]

"What's wrong? Don't play games and tell me?" He asked directly, aware that though this system liked to talk due to its changing personality, it wouldn't be like this ever.

"Did something happen? You noticed something, right?" He asked and remembered about the uneasiness he felt out there in the river, before being 'interrupted' by Becca. "It felt..."

[That _ that was probably the gods.] System who can read his mind, hurriedly tried to explain and throw the blame away. [Yeah,the gods, they're all boiling in excitement over your relationship development, especially Loki and Indra. Their eyes haven't left you for a moment ever since then.]

[You're safe now though, no one can peek inside the system space.] System said and proudly promoted its homeground.

Hearing about the gods, Rio didn't ponder much on it and opened the notifications to read everything the gods had to say and show.

As the system said, Indra looked happy after seeing him and Becca together, and even wished them well. While Loki was just chuckling heavily, God knows what playful plans he was cooking.

Hela and Nyx didn't respond, not caring about such silly matters,, while other gods had similar thoughts and reactions.

Rio skimmed through them, scanning their talks randomly, until his eyes stopped on few messages that caught his attention.

[Cassandra asks you to visit her church. She has noticed some changes in the original future she envisioned.]

["Sound of screams will shatter the world, and pain will swallow the pleasure.

Rain of blood will drown the ground, and only grief and sadness will be left around.

A new dawn, a new day, and a new devil, will all appear, when the hell descends." she mumbles a prophecy.]

[Skuld asks you to be careful as the storms of silence are passing by. And threads of fate are changing colors.]

[Khonshu asks you to fulfill your deal as soon as possible, or else...]

The first two messages were from the goddesses who could see the future, making Rio doubt what their words meant.

'Seers, and their ridiculous riddles. What the fuck does sound of screams in the sea of silence even means anyway?' Rio said and shook his head. Not knowing why they couldn't just talk like normal people.

He ignored them for now, hoping to decipher these things later, and read the final message which caused him to raise an eyebrow.

'It's good that I don't come after you to settle accounts from our past, and you still have the gall to ask for your payment.' He cussed the traitor who backed out and took away his support two years ago, causing Apollo's minions to break the barrier and block his plan.

"System, let's put him on the kill list too." Rio said and smiled as he stared at the big whiteboard hanging below the giant world tree, and noticed a new name appearing on the bottom.

The kill list of Rio was something he prepared when system came online, and he's been adding names on it every day since then. Currently the list was in 2 parts. One for mortals and one for gods.

And our dear Alfred and Apollo were sitting on top positions, awaiting their doom.

"How many points do I have now?" Rio asked remembering the goal of 500k he set for himself.

[VP = 603040]

Reading the numbers Rio had a look of surprise, "System, I know making him a rapist was a big thing, but that's like nearly 150k points in what two nights. Even I don't dare to think I'm that good yet."

[It's not just cause of Leon. There's also Kevin, Levi, the two elders, that fatty you killed and that chic you slapped,...]

"It's still a lot tho"

[Yeah well, 30k are from Rebecca with whom you shared the public display of affection and kiss with, attracting all kinds of attention, enemies and plotlines ahead.]

[The rest is from Sai…] The system who started explaining all the point distribution in detail couldn't help but mutter and stop when it reached the final part and noticed it's blunder.

(No way, if this guy learns how strongly she reacted just to see him kiss someone else, would he simply go to shove that memory crystal in her mouth for answers, or dive into another nightmare phase.

It's better to keep it a secret for a while.

Besides if I don't tell him, and knowing her, she wouldn't come to say she peeked, won't this secret be safe forever.) System thought and changed the topic before Rio noticed anything strange.

"Now that you mention it, being with Becca would really put me in the crosshairs of a lot of people and their ambitions." Rio said, remembering how many fools are infatuated with her and would come at him soon. "But it's better this way, my hands have been itching for blood for a while now. A massacre is all I need to calm my madness." He said and started going through her plot lines again just in case.

He was always aware of Becca's affection, and he always knew unless he wanted to kill her or break her heart completely, one day he would have to make this choice and play this game of lovers. So the plans to deal with the aftermath had always been in his mind.

Now, he just needed to lay them out, and kill whoever jumped into it.

Just as Rio and system had suspected earlier, the news of their kiss soon spread to the whole academy and even outside cities. Some stupid idiot from some corner clicked a photo and posted it on Whisper , terming them the most sensational couple.

Though their faces weren't clear due to night's cover, anyone who saw them during the party could identify them through their clothes, especially Becca.

King Maximus stared at the crystal in his wife's hands, who excitedly showed off the picture to him, telling how the kids were all grown up now, and how Becca may soon wish to marry and even leave them, and how fast did the time slipped, as just yesterday she used to change her diapers or wipe her nose when she was little and now....

There was no order or meaning to her words, Athena was just happy and excited seeing the picture and hearing the report about their progress she received from a student, and wanted to share it with her husband, who just kept nodding his head.

Not noticing that the King wasn't even listening to her, but to his God.

[We can finally start the next phase of our plan, there's no more need for any games and tricks behind the scenes. The time has come to make the world chaotic and tilt the tides in our favor.]

[Your daughter, she can finally be of use to us from now on.]

Indra gave a few more commands and suggestions, while King Maximus nodded his head from time to time and listened carefully.

(I've been waiting for so long. This peace of people has really worn me out, and I can finally find some toys to play with.)

(But who'll be the first fish to jump out and die, so their blood can call for the sharks and the hunters. The feel of fight…) "I really missed it."

"Husband, you say something?"

"Nothing, just that I miss our daughter. Let's call her home when the holidays start later." He replied and smiled watching his wife's face brighten in joy.
