Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 45 No System For Our MC

?

When Rio came back to his senses, he found himself floating in the darkness. The peaceful feeling and surroundings had calmed his nerves somewhat but even after all this time passed his heart was still beating faster every time the figure of Kali appeared in his head. He could feel Goosebumps on his skin with just the thought of it.

'Fuck, just because this world setting was overall a little peaceful, I forgot how ridiculously dangerous anything can be here.'

'I thought if I avoided everything from the plot I'd be fine, but just one look from her was enough to scare me to death.'

'These Gods and their battle would end me, if I'm caught up in it.' Rio thought as he looked around, while wiping his sweat and trying to calm his breathing and shaking hands.

'Fuck their rivalry and competition, why was she even there.'

'Did Nyx blabber something'

'No, it couldn't be her, it should be them.'

'I should have just ignored everything and fucking leave.'

'Damn my luck and their powers.'

The questions about everything started coming back, Rio could think somewhat clear now so he could guess about how Kali came to know about him so early.

'It was probably because of those 3 sisters, Gauri have them on her back and call.'

'But even then why was she so angry, not like I did anything wrong. I mean my prayers were old, but they're cliched words.'

'Or does she know everything about my past now. Is that why she was angry.'

'Even then why was she in her battle form.'

As Rio remembered the last moment before he lost consciousness, the hand that was coming towards his neck with a fucking bloodied machete in it, Rio's body shuddered as his hands touched his neck. It took a moment for him to calm down, and only one thought was left in his brain-

'I should ignore everything that has anything to do with the plot now.'

'Fuck their treasures and techniques, if stealing them puts me in these guys cross hairs, then I better stay at my home.'

'Blake's have everything, I don't need to worry, even if I don't drag heaven's stuff, I should still be able to survive.'

'And where the fuck was Nyx, can't she see I was nearly dying there. Damn her, I should let her die like in the plot.'

'Damn my brain is gone, now'

[Well it was just an illusion] Rio heard a voice.

"Then the fuck was my system doing."

It was only after Rio said that, he realised that the voice didn't belong to Nashi like he thought. But someone else.

"Who are you?" Rio asked as he turned around but beside the darkness he couldn't see anything.

'Another illusion, fuck is that system doing.' Rio thought and cursed the world system.

***As it was the system's job to protect the user, so Gods couldn't interfere or meddle with the weak one's mind, and turn them into their followers to increase their faith power.

'Don't tell me I don't even get a system, since I'm not from Arcadia.'

As that thought came his mind started thinking about all the possible bad situations that could happen and he won't even have any protection.

'I should have known when I didn't feel any pain during the merging process, it was cause that shit didn't even merge.The world system connects with a soul, and since mine wasn't from this world. Fuckkkk. '

"No, I can't give up like this, let's try calling it."

"Status"

Rio called for the system and waited for a few seconds but nothing happened. He closed his eyes and lay down in the darkness. The world system should've responded but it didn't, and not having it would mean, his mind was without any protection against the Gods.

'Nyx might hold on for a little while, but who knows what she'll do after she learns about it. '

'Forget someone as overpowered as Nyx, any one of them Gods could just come and use me like a puppet, and I would have no chance to fight back.'

Rio felt like giving up, it was a smooth journey till now so he forgot about all the complications Arcadia has. And without the protection of the world system there was no way he could survive in it.

***The world system wasn't just used for showing your stats or mastery in skills, those were just extra additions. It's main job was to protect any awakener's mind from directly being influenced by any god, and help their weak bodies to adapt for Godly blessings. No one's body could handle the power and laws those Gods have learned, so the world system acted as a dam to stop the flood. Without it if anyone received a power too great and their bodies would turn into particles and merge into the world.

- The world system increased the mental protection so no God could control their avatar and take over them. This was what happened in the second phase of emergence.

Rio was feeling lost, the awakening that he wasted so much time preparing for had failed, the hopes and plans that he had were all crushed, all because he overlooked the simplest thing that was so obvious, HE didn't belong here.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he even forgot about the voice that he heard a little while ago. The only thing that was playing in his head were the lines about the ending planned for himself and Amelia.

He held no special love for his own new life, he had started caring a little about Artemis, Myra and Agnus, but the thought of failing Ria again was what haunted him the most.

"I miss you Ria." Rio said out loud as he remembered the last time when he heard her voice, the one where she wasn't blaming him but being caring for him. It was when he was dying back on earth. Though she may have been an illusion or a ghost, but even then he had started missing that too.

It was then that he heard a voice, the voice that he so longed to hear in Arcadia -

[DING] [TING] [TIDING]

[FINALLY , FOUND YOU. ]

[DID YOU MISS ME??? ]
