2024-10-29 19:42:56“Thank god!”
A sudden scream of excitement sounded from the study room, causing the maid standing at attention outside to jolt in fright.
As if a brave warrior who had found a ray of hope in the midst of despair, the little boy inside the study room stared at the System Interface in front of him with eyes widened expectantly.
【Ding!】
【System initialized.】
【Welcome to the Reincarnated Villain System!】
It’s here! It really is what I thought it is!
Zephyr looked at the three words ‘Reincarnated Villain System’ with his eyes brimming with tears of agitation. As expected of his System, it was tailored right down to his needs! He was still thinking that there was no way to save the Calypso House when his System delivered what he needed right into his hands. With such a System on his side, what did he have to fear?
Let me see what there is on the System!
【World scanning completed. Host scanning completed. Installation of Affection Point Exchange Shop completed. Installation of Gold Coin Shop completed. User Interface created.】
【Name: Zephyr Calypso
Gender: Male
Age: 9
Bloodline: Iron
Epithet: -
Tier: F- (Magician Apprentice)
Fundamental Spells: Minor Heatwave, Phantom Hands (Defective)】
“...”
I never knew that there’s still a F- beneath F…
Zephyr stared at his User Interface back and forth twice. In the end, he could only sigh deeply and admit to the fact that he was indeed a weakling.
A Magician Apprentice when he was already 9-year-old? Who in the world would believe that his father was the Chief Magician of the Clovis Knight Order?!
The little boy clutched his forehead as he lamented the lackadaisical life he had lived prior to recalling his memories. Shaking his head, he decided to try out his two Fundamental Spells first.
Minor Heatwave allowed him to produce a slight gust of warmer wind, creating an effect reminiscent to that of a hairdryer. As for Phantom Hands, it was a spell that granted one the ability of telekinesis. As for why there was the additional tag of (Defective) behind it…
“…”
Zephyr looked at the invisible hand floating before him, which had nothing but its middle finger, and he suddenly felt like he had been grievously humiliated.
Forget it, none of this is important. As long as I have the help of the System, I’ll surely be able to rise up against all odds! Let me see what is there in the Exchange Shop first…
Zephyr calmed himself down before turning his attention back onto the System.
【Affection Point Exchange Shop
You can collect the affection that sentient beings have toward you in your vicinity and convert them into points. These points can be used to purchase facilities and items that will aid you in the resurgence of your noble house. The types of affection include kinship, friendship, romance, respect, infatuation, and such. The items that have been exchanged cannot be refunded.】
【Gold Coin Shop
You can use the wealth that you have accumulated in reality to purchase personal goods that include combat-related items, daily life necessities, occupational tools, and such. Gold spent cannot be refunded, so please proceed with caution.】
【The goods available in the Affection Point Exchange Shop and Gold Coin Shop will be refreshed once every month, and special discounts will be available on certain dates. The user is advised to pay careful attention to the two shops.】
“Hm? Special discounts? Wow, it seems quite friendly… but is that all?”
Zephyr inspected every nook and cranny of the two shops, but he wasn’t able to find anything else at all.
“Hold it for a second, this isn’t right. Isn’t a System supposed to give out quests for the main storyline with rewards on the line? I mean, even a minor quest would do too! Like killing slimes at the village entrance for a short dagger, or finding a missing cat for potions… Isn’t that the norm for Systems?”
【The Reincarnated Villain System is a passive system. The user is advised to live life passionately and strive to be independent. This System strongly objects to the act of holding the user hostage to its whims and orders the user around like a tool. As the saying goes, a man should constantly seek to improve himself on his own accord. 】
“???”
What just happened? Did I just get taught a life lesson by a system?
Moreover, there are actually passive systems nowadays too? Wow, the variety sure has expanded fast!
The shocked Zephyr took a look at his Iron Bloodline and Magician Apprentice tier on his User Interface before retorting, “Boss, my head is on the guillotine. I don’t even know when my house is going to fall from grace, and you’re still in the mood to be educating me here? I’m begging you, just treat me like a tool, alright? It’s at least better than dying!”
【Life is precious, even more so is freedom.】
“…”
The hell. Was this System from France?
“Can’t you at least point a way out for me? I’m really desperate right now!
【Ding!】
【The user’s call for help has been accepted. Scanning the user’s body. Scanning completed.
The user is advised to check the shops. Redirecting to the Gold Coin Shop.】
【The user is advised to keep a close eye on the items relating to bloodline and constitution enhancement. The Affection Point Exchange Shop and Gold Coin Shop are being refreshed.】 【3, 2, 1… Refresh complete.】
As the voice sounded from the System, Zephyr saw rows of shining shields and two-handed swords disappear right before his eyes, replaced with a page filled with dark-colored, bizarre goods that gave off ominous vibes.
Zephyr’s heart skipped a beat. He began looking through the list one by one.
Nine-headed Serpent Staff, Cosmo’s Fingernail Book, Bec’s Skull, Primitive Stone of Terror… Clovis shit, what the hell are all of these? Wait a moment… Bronze Bloodline!
There was one item at the very end of the list that made Zephyr open his mouth wide in shock. He quickly focused his attention and took a closer look at it.
【Blood Servant of Cosmo (Lower Bronze Bloodline)
A bloodline created by Great Warlock Cosmo to prolong his longevity after he descended into lunacy. His cruel experiments have led to the death of thousands of innocent civilians, invoking the rage of the populace on the continent. He eventually lost his life to a crusade against him. However, before his death, he managed to create a nigh indestructible bloodline of the nightmares. Rumors have it that some of the unfortunate civilians who have been experimented on by him still loiter around their graves to this day.
Bloodline Effect: Swift Regeneration
Side Effect: Sanity Corrosion
Price: 10,000 Gold Coins】
“Sanity Corrosion? W-who in the world would dare to use something like this? Besides… this is too expensive!”
Zephyr’s handsome face twitched upon seeing the description of the item.
10,000 gold coins! What did that mean?
“Even as the son of a marquess, I only receive 10 gold coins as pocket money every month! For an ordinary family, as long as they scrimped and saved, 28 gold coins would be roughly enough for them to last a year! How is it that your Lower Bronze Bloodline costs a whopping 10,000 gold coins? Not to mention, it’s still an inferior good that can turn a person into a fool…”
【Blloodline enhancement is a highly difficult feat. The System’s price is fair and impartial. With great power comes great cost. May the user think it through carefully and purchase with caution.】
“Why is it that Mana’s Silverash Child Bloodline has no side effects then?”
【The user should be informed that the top bloodlines of each tier suffer from minimal or no side effects.】
“…”
Fine, I get it. Mana is all great and mighty. I’ll admit it, alright?
“But no matter what, it’s still too expensive. I’m just a nine-year-old! Where am I to find that much money?”
【The user is advised to take a look at the Affection Point Exchange Shop to obtain tools that would improve the Calypso House’s revenue before using the money earned to improve himself. The user’s strength will be essential in leading the Calypso House to a bright future. Only through forming such a virtuous cycle will the user be able to overcome his death flags and enjoy a fulfilling life.】
“I see. I’ll take a look at the Affection Point Exchange Shop then.”
Zephyr was persuaded by the long speech made by the System, so he decided to take a look at the Affection Point Exchange System first. But soon enough, his face turned grim once again.
【Spring of Clovis Water (High)
Reinvigorating water that heals the injuries of the heart. It will summon our friends.
Price: 2,500,000 Affection Points】
【Light of Tuspark
Light shines through the darkness, dispelling them from sight.
Price: 300,000 Affection Points Per Light】
…
【Enchantment Workshop of the Shining Armor
A snapshot of the lost technology of the Asphodel Empire. It’s a basic production line of the armor of the legendary soldiers, Undying Asphodels. Used for primary enchantment and reinforcement.
Price: 700,000 Affection Points】
“Other than the last item, why are the descriptions of the items so vague? I have completely no idea what they are used for at all. Besides, they are all so expensive!”
【The descriptions will be altered in accordance with the circumstances of the user.
Affection Points are easier to earn, so the user need not worry too much about it.】
【Ding!】
【Congratulations, you have obtained: Emblem of Glory】
【Emblem of Glory
The charisma of a hero is unstoppable. A person equipped with this item will emanate a slight yet inconspicuous seductive charm. Its effects vary for each person.】
“Hm? Seductive charm? In other words, if I wear it, it’ll be beneficial to me in winning the affection of others?”
【Bingo. The item has already been given out. The user is advised to quickly equip it.】
Right after the System said those words, bits of light began gleaming from Zephyr’s hand. It looked similar to how the fireflies of the Calypso Fiefdom would usually frolic in his hands during the past summer nights. By the time the little boy returned to his senses, the light had already formed a small emblem on his palm.
“Is this… the key to change my fate?”
The adorable black-haired boy muttered to himself as he grasped the emblem in his hand tightly. He did want to try out the effect of the emblem right away, but whose affection should he try to win over? Regarding this question…
“Is this even a question at all?”
Zephyr pinned the silver emblem on his chest as a silver-haired silhouette flashed across his eyes. A hardy expression reminiscent of a soldier fighting against all odds appeared on his face.
“Mana Calypso, here I come!”

Time to go for an all-out fight!In the Marquess Archer’s study room, Zephyr touched the emblem pinned before his chest with a solemn expression on his face, reminiscent of a Pendor Knight clutching onto his blade prior to the start of a battle.Today was the adopted Mana’s first day in the Calypso House, so it was bound to be an important occasion to her. However, due to his recollection of his past memories, Zephyr had already ruined their first meeting.Ey! What a huge regret! Why did I react so slowly back then? With my looks, even if I can’t charm her over right away, I would have at least been able to leave her with a favorable impression of me!Zephyr examined the black-haired, gold-eyed boy reflected in the glass before him before squeezing his slightly chubby but attractive face. Once again, he affirmed himself.Yeap, I’m good-looking.And judging from the game’s character illustrations, my dad and mum’s genes are still quite stable. I’ll continue to grow more and more handso

Zephyr suddenly recalled something—Mana, in her younger years, was afraid of knives. To be more exact, she was frightened of anything sharp that could potentially be used to hurt her. As a saying back on Earth goes, ‘ once bitten, twice shy ’. This saying described an irrational fear toward certain objects often stemming from certain traumatic experiences, perhaps more commonly known as a phobia. Phobias induced feelings of tension and fear in one under certain specific circumstances. Even if one knew such emotions were irrational, one’s body would still cower instinctively in the face of similar circumstances, hindering one’s daily life. Phobias could manifest in many ways, but Mana’s phobia was directed toward sharp objects. As for the reason behind that… Zephyr could only say that those who possessed exceptional talents often had to bear great pain too.Sighing deeply in his heart, Zephyr began to recall how Mana’s childhood was depicted in thestoryline. All of Mana’s misfor

“Pu!”“L-lord Brother?”“It’s nothing. Haha.”Under Mana’s concerned look, Zephyr shrugged it off with a laugh as he glanced at the top of her head. Due to the two year age gap between them, Mana was half a head shorter than him, so the ‘ Affection Points +1000 ’ was practically sticking right next to his face.Clovis moly! 1000 Affections Points! A freaking four-digit figure!Zephyr was screaming frenziedly in his mind, and he had a strong urge to do a celebratory dance right on the spot. While the Emblem of Glory probably played a huge role too, it was still unbelievable to him that a four-digit figure would roll in just by feeding Mana a spoonful of meat. This was way better than him tearing up before Cordelia earlier on!Zephyr turned to look at Mana with his golden eyes once more, and this time, other than pity, his eyes also carried a hint of joy too.By brushing up Mana’s affection, not only will I be able to avert my death flag, I’ll be able to strike it rich too!

“You must be kidding me! What I want is skeleton soldiers, so why are you giving me professional dancing skeleton pallbearers here?!” On the training field, a deeply frustrated black-haired boy stared agape at the skeleton pallbearers, who were dancing with the coffin while making their way over to the wooden pole, and he suddenly felt that he had been scammed. It’s 2500 Affection Points, a hulking 2500! Did I really spend so much money just to buy this? What in the world do I need this for? For my own funeral procession? Zephyr clutched his chest, which was hurting so badly that he felt like he was having a heart attack. Then, he snapped out of it and attempted to make one final struggle. “Stop right there for a moment!” … Ten minutes later. Zephyr lay down on the grass field as he stared at the blue sky and white clouds above him with the eyes of a dead fish. The six skeleton pallbearers were currently kneeled by the side of the black coffin, as if waiting to carry him out.

“Come, Mana. Try this smoked sausage.” Nighttime, in the dining room, a silver-haired girl was seated beside Zephyr. Looking at him with an embarrassed blush dyeing her cheeks, she opened her cherry-like lips and waited for delicious food to be sent right into her mouth. “Glomp.” She bit down on the smoked sausage, causing meat juices to explode in her mouth. Even though Mana was already trying her best to be as prim and proper as she could, a trickle of oil still ended up flowing down her chin. The realization of her inelegant behavior caused her face to redden even further. Seeing this sight, Zephyr smiled kindly as he picked up a napkin and carefully wiped her face. “Lord Brother… I-I’ll do it myself.” “Allow me.” Zephyr insisted as he hastened his movements slightly. Out of sheer embarrassment, Mana directed her gaze downward, not daring to look at Zephyr directly. (Affection Points +200!) Ooh Mana, I love you!

“Milord, thank you for your compassion. May the blessings of Crysta be with you!” Outside the Fief Lord’s gristmill, Old Kent loaded his flour onto his carriage before bowing deeply in gratitude to Zephyr. Behind him was a huge queue of farmers, who were looking at him in envy. Old Kent was quite lucky today. It was already time for the taxation official to get off work when it finally got to his turn in the queue, but the generous and compassionate young master Zephyr noticed how he had laboriously toiled a huge cart of wheat over and had waited under the glaring sun for long hours, so he made a special exception and extended the operations by half an hour. Due to this stroke of fortune, Old Kent managed to pay his taxes today. One must know that Zephyr was a traveling tax official, which meant that there was no saying when they would be able to see him once more. Naturally, Old Kent was more than overjoyed with this turn of events, and the others were deeply envious of his luck

“Her name is Mana. She’ll be your little sister from now on, Zephyr.”In a lavishly decorated room stood a handsome yet frail-looking middle-aged man. He held onto the hand of a silver-haired girl as he introduced her to a well-dressed, black-haired boy standing before him.The middle-aged man was known as Archer Calypso, a marquess of the Athaliah Pious Theocracy . He served as the Chief Magician of the Clovis Knight Order, as well as the patriarch of the Calypso House. He was also the father of Zephyr Calypso, the stunned 9-year-old boy standing before him at this very instant.Zephyr Calypso was the sole son of this noble family. He had dignified facial features and a head of slightly long black hair. Standing at just under 1.5 meters tall, he was considered to be on the shorter end, especially among the nobles of this country. His skinny physique also revealed his lack of physical training. However, the noble education that he had undergone from a young age gave him a composed and

Chapter 2
Eyes of the Chronicler was a strategy-based game with a fairly complicated storyline. There were 4 main capture targets, and just like most gal games, it would start off with a common route before diverging into the independent routes of the chosen capture target in the later stage of the game.The excessive number of events and frequent time skips in the game crammed players with an overload of information, creating a poor user experience. On top of that, the multitude of routes that led to bad ends, as well as the lack of satisfying eroticism within the game, left frustrated players dying to bang their heads against walls.Putting all of this aside though, there were still some strengths to the game.The illustrations of major characters were amazing, and the background and storyline of characters were also quite detailed.The main character of the game was a fellow named Terrence Iovenara. A prince carrying the bloodline of the Austine Empire, he went missing in the streets when he
