BXBX NOVEL Chapter 70 Plans For Hero & Heroine
After playing around with that token, watching it shine every time he passed his mana into it, Rio threw it aside, and walked towards his bed.
"System, did you count anything till now?" He asked his system as he lay down on his bed. He had changed some stuff in the plot after waking up from his awakening, first those earrings and then Myra's dagger, system had shown him some notifications before, but he ignored them since he knew the system would probably keep loading for hours before it could show him his points. Now that he was alone and free, he decided to check his progress.
Even though he couldn't use Ria's memory crystal till the plot started, he wanted to get the necessary points as soon as possible and accumulate much more. He had a feeling that whatever items there would be in the system's shop won't be cheap. He didn't want to just sit and wait for 8 years, and then learn that he didn't have enough points for that healing potion or any other necessary stuff.
[Checking world data…
[Calculating points …
[Host's actions have slightly changed the fate of Kevin De Bilios - 200 points
[Host has altered the fate of Myra - 100 points
[Host's actions have slightly altered the fate of ??? - 900 points
[Total points - 14550 + 1200 = 15750
"I can understand Myra and Kevin, but who's that ??? question mark being, that my actions changed the destiny of." Rio asked as he looked at the notifications, he had received the most points from that, but there wasn't any name.
[No authority, you'll know when you update the system.]
Hearing system's usual answer Rio wasn't mad at this time, as he already had an idea about who that might be, but he asked just because he needed to be sure of it.
'Guess I found something which will rain on points huhh. You do deserve your role after all.'
Rio thought and closed the system panel.
"Tell me system, what do you think of that dagger? Was it the same as plot or was it a sign?"
[I cannot be sure, host. I've only checked your memories so I only know what you read in that novel. Anything else is out of my knowledge.]
[But if I had to give you my opinion, it doesn't matter whichever case it is, you shouldn't stress over it. As you keep changing more and more events, the heavens will take notice of you, and they will force some situations to maintain the predetermined plot, but that is something for the future, it shouldn't happen anytime soon.]
"I guess you're right." Rio said, as he remembered all the villain novels he read where mc reincarnated in a book, he had read hundreds of those stories seeing how their every little actions change the future and how the luck and plot keeps trying to stay on track. This is why he wanted to ignore the protagonist, in every story they're hard to kill cockroaches who will always survive the villain's attack one way or another, and manage to somehow get some profits along the way. He had no plan to give that guy anything, but since his system usually rewarded him points for changing plotlines, he had decided to do what every other mc did - chip away his luck little by little from the shadows, before directly confronting him.
Ever since he learned about Ria and Amelia being the same, he had already decided on killing the protagonist. That guy was an anomaly now, something which could always harm her, there was no way he could let that happen.
This is why he changed his plans for Rebecca too, he didn't believe it when system said that he couldn't kill Rebecca if he tried everything. He literally knew of a treasure similar to death note, which would kill her in moments, he also believed he could get that item before the plot starts if he focused on that only. But after thinking carefully he had figured out a better way to deal with her and the protagonist.
Many villains fail in killing the protagonist, cause they don't know the limits luck would go to protect them. Rio had decided to use Rebecca just for that purpose. Her birthday and her first event of flashbacks where she'll meet the protagonist will come soon, and Rio had already started thinking about doing his first experiment there.
He needed to know how far he could bend the plotline before it would break and push the future events forward to fix itself. If he learned about the stuff he could and couldn't do - luck would just be an outside influence.
By then even if heaven's worked overtime and pushed his limits, he was ready to mess up the whole world's plot and bring forth Emergence 2.0 … After the world system gets an update, he could spill out all of heaven's future secrets and get so many world contribution points that he could increase his own luck to insurmountable heights. That time he would be Arcadia's chosen one. And the protagonist would be just a nobody.
But these were all for the future, all these plans were all only sprouts of ideas his brain had cooked up to survive, there were still many details and routes that he needed to think and clear.
(What a messed up brain) system thought as it saw all his thoughts about the world and its future, There was no change of any emotion in him, when the thought of starting the Emergence 2.0 came to his mind, or when he would think of killing people he never met. His still shattered brain worked so efficiently that even system was surprised, while living in his head, it had felt like all parts of his brain were always thinking separately, it didn't know how or why his brain was like that even after taking that healing potion of that being, but neither that being said anything nor it could ask him now. System was struggling inside to take a deeper peek in his brain and see everything, but the image of those creatures with red eyes suppressed all its curiosity.
"Hey system, how strong do you think I need to be if I want to go back to Earth."
[No authority
"Then how about points needed for opening a portal there? Can someone come to Arcadia from that Or does that only work one way?"
[No authority
"Then at least tell me is there any time difference between both world's? I don't want to visit earth if I reach there and see everyone's already dead and dusted."
[Every world has their own flow of time to follow. So yes earth and Arcadia does indeed have a time difference. As for if that's in your favor or not - no authority.
"Wow, you really weren't kidding when you said, you're useless till the plot starts huh."
[Fuck you host
"Good night system. Don't just fall asleep before the plot even begins, with your lazy excuses."
Rio said with a smile, and prepared to sleep. But then he opened his eyes again as he remembered something.
"Hey system."
[What is it now?] system said in an annoyed tone.
"Show me the notifications of all the Gods who are keeping an eye on me."
[Too much to count, I'm at level 0 remember. I'll show it in the morning, now let's go sleep ]
"What? Why? "
[Need I remind you, host, that Nyx herself came to give you her blessing. She's one of the strongest Goddesses who are present on Arcadia. Unlike other Gods in all these years since the beginning Nyx had only ever given her blessing to 37 people before. And not one was chosen as her avatar. She's one of the few who stay away from all the competition and affairs, even though she doesn't have any particular enemies or churches who'll come after you, but her prestige does bring you attention.]
[Since you know of the future events, you should know how those Gods behave, they're just observers, so ignore them for now, until one of them gives you a blessing or comes to make you their avatar.]
"Who would come to make me their avatar, knowing Nyx might not like it." Rio smiled as he thought which Gods would be idiot enough to try and take something she had her eyes on. She doesn't interfere in any God's games, as she knows she'll beat 'em all if she got serious. Or maybe she's lazy like me too.
