'No matter which plot it is, I am sure I can go through it, but it will be better if I know it beforehand. Otherwise, the plot is always going to favour the chosen one and I will remain as the villain, who will be crushed by the protagonist.'

If the villain surpasses the MC, the plot will do anything to favour the MC, to make him stronger than the villain.

It is a path of no win for the villain.

[Host.]

'What is it?'

[Why complicate things so much? Why fear when I am here.]

Noah raised his eye bro, and thought about the system. He has a system, that rewards him for seducing the woman. Why would he even be worried about anything?

'Did you change? I feel like something has changed in you.'

[Nothing has changed, host.]

"Alright."

Noah was sceptical, but he did not press the matter further.

[You have a few unread notifications, host. Do you wish to read them?]

"Notifications? Of what? Show me."

Ding~

[You have achieved an astronomical feat.]

[You have formed the very first "Aether Core".]

[Your influence in the story has increased.]

[You have received 1,000,000,000 story points.]

[You have received an aspect 'Regeneration' (C).]

'What the hell? Is that a billion?'

He couldn't believe his eyes. No matter how you look at it, that was an astronomically huge reward.

He couldn't even bother looking at the other aspect he got, that billion point was enough to make him ignore everything.

'Forming an Aether Core is a great deal, and I know it too, but this feels... very strange.'

It will be a lie to say he wasn't shocked by this, but more than this, he felt as if he was falling in the palm of that so-called god.

'Is this all already staged or am I thinking too much?'

No matter what, he couldn't shake off that feeling inside his heart.

That god did mention, she wasn't expecting him to get an Aether Core, but he wasn't going to believe that.

She, of all people, would have definitely expected him to get the Aether Core.

'This system...'

He narrowed his eyes, staring at the system panel.

Many thoughts were going on inside his head, but the most important one was to,

Take control of the system before him.

This was the only medium through which that god was connected to him.

Even though it's an almost impossible, stupid and idiotic plan, he needs to control the system; if not, he will remain a puppet forever.

'My aspect... that's the only way I can try to take control over the system.'

But he still couldn't be sure if the system really couldn't act when he is in author halo stat, or if it's all just an act.

'At least for now, I don't think there is any hostility among us. But I will have to do it as soon as possible.'

He will act, will give it his all to control the system, but not now. He can't do it right now.

It is only a device, a medium, but it can grant unimaginable rewards to him, there is no way it has any less value than the main character of this story.

'Plan... seems I really have to get my lazy ass to work now.'

He was fine being lazy, but a puppet? Never.

He raised his naked body, stretched his hands, cracking the tired bones in his body.

He felt a little uncomfortable on his back, because of the yesterday night.

"Bring it on, then."

He stretched his legs towards the bathroom.

He turned on the shower, soaking his sweaty body with water, cleaning up all the impurities.

While letting the water run down his body, he called the system,

"System, buy that body refining technique now."

Ding~

[Congratulations, host. You have purchased the body refining technique "Origin Reforging Scripture" (SSS).]

[90 million story points have been deducted from your storage.]

[Remaining story points: 912,054,000]

The sound of the notification rang inside his head. The purchase was successful, but he wasn't that happy about it.

He exited the bathroom after he was done, opening the wardrobe he took out a pair of clothes.

Usually, this was the job of Rose, but for some obvious reasons, she wasn't here today.

He looked at the system pane and went to the pending quests section.

There remained all the quests that were pending, and there was also another section for the completed quests.

On the pending quest, he could see the favourability of Rose... (-40).

It went down even further, but there was also something that went up.

Her sensitivity meter, which showed... 4.9x.

'Can she even walk?'

He saw what happened to Eleanor yesterday, with her strength, she was struggling so much with high sensitivity.

Even if Rose hadn't reached such a high level, it must be unbearable for someone with her strength.

'I should go and visit her and also do something about her favourability. There is no problem having a fierce yet obedient maid, but a cute one like a cat will do fine too.'

No matter which one, he will like her. But she will be more useful as her favorability increases more.

Her family, especially her aspect is useful to him.

"First, let's go and meet my sister. Her favorability rose yesterday, though it is still 0, it's better than nothing."

'Does better than nothing even work in this case? It's literally zero.'

He snapped his fingers, getting dressed instantly.

Mana is very useful in that regard, especially for a lazy guy like him with a perfect mana controlling aspect.

Not everyone can do this, though. But many can.

He looked himself up in the mirror, fixing his hair, he couldn't help but admire himself.

His narcissism was coming out, but before it overflowed, he went outside his room.

He was met with many gazes from the knights and maids inside the palace.

It was still early morning, so they were all surprised to see him.

This was nowhere close to the time Noah usually wakes up.

But they didn't dare say anything. One for his reputation and another because he was now the 'Young Duke'.

The news of his battle with Noelle had already spread all over.

It was like this...

That lazy trash was actually hiding his strength. He acted arrogantly before, but what he did soon shut down everyone there. He was so fast that our beautiful saintess wasn't even able to see his movements. That villain crushed her.

Tears were rolling down the face of the storyteller when mentioning the defeat of his beautiful saintess.

Noah looked at one of the maids and said, "Clean my room, today. Rose is feeling unwell."

A soft blush appeared on her face when she looked at Noah.

"Yes, young duke."

Noah narrowed his eyes for a bit, thinking it was because he was handsome, not knowing they all saw how Rose ran away from his room yesterday.

'Why couldn't it be me? I even have bigger breasts than hers. He is evil, but he is still the next duke of this region.'

Noah did not dwell with her longer and headed towards the training hall inside the palace.

There were 2 training halls, one was for the soldiers, which was outside the palace, and another one was inside the palace for Noelle alone.

She is the only one who trains there every day, from morning till night.

'She must be there today as well. I know for sure she isn't taking rest.'

As a knight, her endurance was high, so she couldn't recover quickly, but she was still pushing herself too much.

As he was heading towards the training hall, a notification popped up inside his head again,

Ding~

[Noelle's favourability has decreased by 5.]

[Current favourability: -5 (disgust)]

His steps halted when he heard that notification.

'The fuck?? What happened with that girl?'

And here he was being happy that someonehadsag positivefeelingetowardst him.

'I am a villain and know for sure the heroines hate me, without any reason at all, but still... I don't think it will go down just because I am thinking of her.'

That sounded ridiculous.

'And why did it even become disgust? Wasn't it worrying before? Let's go and see her.'

He quickened his pace, heading straight towards the training hall.

He opened the grand door of the hall and entered.

There she was, wearing a light, body-hugging training suit; her impressive build and her flawless, hot figure weren't hidden a single bit with that clothing.

In fact, she looked even more stunning than before.

With a cute face and a seductive body like that, it's no wonder people call her 'Beautiful Saintess'.

Noelle was grasping a wooden sword in her hand; she had only arrived just now as well.

Seeing the door open, her attention shifted towards Noah who was coming towards her.

Watching her brother coming her way, rather than being happy, she felt disgusted.
