Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 62 Lost In His Head - 3 Battle Of Unknowns

?

"Stop what you're doing" As these words echoed in the environment , system found itself freed from all its bounds, the chains holding it in place disappeared in an instant, it got pulled out from that place. 

Due to the the massive loss of its energy, system couldn't see anything around itself now, the loss of energy it had suffered due to those chains was fatal, and it would probably take it much time on itself to ever get it back, if that was even possible, considering this was the first time that anything like this happened to it. 

System felt a cold touch on its core, which put its mind at ease a little. The once shining blue orb of energy, was just like a flickering candle light, which could end with just a slightest of air. The being's heart pained seeing this condition of its trusted companion. 

"We had a deal." The being roared as it looked at the full extent of system's damage, the thought of what would've happened, if he was a tad bit late fueled his anger. Even he with all his almighty powers couldn't revive someone who had suffered true death, as there would be nothing left to bring back. 

 Even system was surprised at the intensity of his voice, until it heard another voice, completely opposite of everything the being represented -"If you, begging to get our help is called a deal, then you're an even bigger fool than your friend over there." The voice replied back, not even surprised at the new arrival which stopped its fun. 

"Mind your manners , D _ " The being was shouting in anger when it was interrupted by that voice again - "Um umm umm, shut your mouth, or I'll shut it for yaa"

As these words fell, the darkness around everything got attracted towards those red eyes, as if they were consuming it, the system too got pulled towards that direction. "I don't go by that name anymore, remember."

"IT is there to help us all get what we want. Don't you want a happy ending, isn't that why you agreed? So stop your foolishness, and just watch from your shadows." The being said furiously, its voice shattering whatever was left of Rio's mindspace in the surroundings. 

 Though the system didn't see anything around it, it could feel how furious 'the being' was from its tone. Never in all its life had it ever seen him lose his cool like that, and when it heard the reply of whoever it was with those red eyes, it didn't even know how to respond. 

– "Big words coming out from a coward. Who got beaten by his own creation."

"And I agreed, for giving him help, not giving him death. Next time it tries something like this_ . 

The voice replied back in the same tone ignoring the destruction around it, and the anger of that being, it started chuckling maniacally as it finished its words. 

"I guess you know what will happen then, don't you? This'll be your last warning. Now leave. I see something fun happening soon."

System was beyond confused at whatever happened today, first it was 'that being' breaking those primal rules to please its host, then those thousands of eyes and that Queen, then there was the voice of that chained man, and his indifference towards that being. What deal were they talking about, and why was 'that being' who's supposed to be strongest listening to his insults. 

It had so many questions, but no energy to ask anything, until it heard the voice of that being again. 

"Why didn't you listen, I warned you to be careful?"

As the system heard those words it felt furious at this bastard, in this condition where it nearly died, he's asking why and how, instead of healing it. But before it could shout, it felt energy flowing into it at an alarming rate. And after absorbing it for some time the system could finally feel like itself again. 

"Now wanna tell me what the fuck is happening?" System asked, as it saw the area around them started restructuring itself, all the pieces of Rio's mindscape started coming back together forming it whole again. 

If the system could focus a little on the healing of his brain process, it would be able to see many different memories and scenes, which weren't there first, appearing and disappearing constantly between the cracks of his mind, but system was far too lost thinking about all the mystery with red eyes, to notice those little details. 

"Who were all those people and who is that guy?" The system asked as it couldn't understand anything about who all those people were, who was that queen, or the man, or how its host who's a mortal, fit into all this. 

"My first failure." 

Much to the system's confusion the being said those words and continued "Look his mind is healing itself again, so I don't have much time, just trust in me for one last time" System watched as the being said those words and its ethereal figure started getting pulled out from his mind. 

[Trust in you, you bastard trapped me here.]

"I will explain everything, just not yet."

[Fuck, atleast say what do I need to do.]

"Just help him, and guide him, give him a happy ending."

" You would learn everything over time, and remember, do not _ " The being's words were cut short as the system found itself back in Rio's mind, it could now feel its powers again and its connection with its host too.

From Rio's emotions it felt that not even a moment had passed in reality, the System looked around and couldn't find any changes into itself or its surroundings, had it not been for the overwhelming fear and that being's words floating on its screen again, it would even doubt if that was all an illusion. [ _ Lose yourself in his mind.]

 (First failure huh) 

"That explains jack shit, you fucker."

System shouted as it couldn't understand anything, it even got more confused now, then it was before. Today it had felt anger, jealousy, fear and death - and so it was the most exciting, and the worst day of its long life.

[Just trust me once] the words appeared on its screen again, asking for it to trust him, but why and How? When it didn't even know anything? 

[Please] one more word appeared, this time it almost felt like begging, and so the kind system who had no other option left anyway, decided to trust 'that being' one last time and said -

"You better prepare a nice explanation and a good apology, you dumbass."

[This will help you better] That being said, next second, the system could hear Rio's thoughts again. He was still feeling joy over getting that memory crystal. 

"Hmmm, so you do know how to override permissions." Since that being had literally begged the system for help, this magnanimous system decided to agree, and and finally acted determined to see his journey till the end. 

"One last time huh - let's begin" 

System had no other option left, it couldn't leave Arcadia as long as its host was alive, it couldn't kill Rio itself, now it was even too scared to look into his messed up mind , and learn what's what? So it decided to ignore everything (out of sight, out of mind) and help him - just like it would, to any other host.

It was then that system started hearing Rio's thoughts about how he'll kill the princess, and that whole justifying the murder monologue, that system nearly choked on its thoughts. 

(Just how fast did he change his gears from laughing like crazy, to actually go crazy and think of killing someone) 

[Hold your horses host]

[Looks like it's time you take a reality check]

The system announced as it decided to explain some stuff which its host clearly overlooked in his excitement.

A/N - I know some of you might feel it was too much info, or too much dump in these past few confusing chapters - but I needed to tease it here, cause there won't be a perfect opportunity later.

Now we'll only focus on Rio and the novel's plot, as all this outside stuff is for much much later parts of the story.
