And I really was.
This is not the kind of world that anyone can survive in.
[Dungeons and Magic]
Kind of a cliche but that was the name of my novel, maybe that was why it did not work out.
It is a story all about the dimensional rifts called dungeons and the people who fight the beings on the other end using magic.
Sounds generic? Here is more detail.
At the beginning, this world did not have any rifts at all, different races used magic to their own use and indeed had their own internal strife, sometimes even the wars broke out.
But everything changed when the first rift opened, and monsters appeared out of it. They seemed like the races that lived on this planet, but something was different about their appearance; they were all dark and seemed to be in control of something, but it remained a mystery till the end about who controlled them.
This is a short history of the rifts and this world. There is more, but I don't wish to remember it for now.
What is worrying me right now is how I am going to face the end?
Hey, is the end really the same as I wrote?
[This is your world, what do you think?]
Yeah, I understand, but I mean, you are someone powerful, right? Can't you do something?
[Are you getting scared of your own story?]
You know exactly why I am like this.
[Then you should not have written something like that.]
[Anyways, here is the gift I was talking about.]
The voice sounded inside my head and a blue translucent screen appeared before me with 3 words written on it.
[Ultimate Seduction System.]
Wait, you mean...?
[Exactly what you are thinking, author. I want you to seduce all the heroines as well as the villainess of this story.]
Huh?!!
Now that is unreasonable.
[Nothing is unreasonable. You do not understand the feeling of us readers who spend so much time and money on a fiction we like.]
You never spend a single cent on my book.
[That's not the issue here.]
[You should complete all the quests given by the system here. And why are you even worried about this, you as the author can conquer all the females anyway, after all this was the genre of your novel.]
He was right, along with the dungeons and magic, my novel had smuts too.
[The main character of this world failed to reach the end, so you, as the author, should take the responsibility yourself. I genuinely hope you will reach the end that is good for all of us.]
You make it sound as if you gave me a grand opportunity rather than throwing me into a world that is a literal ticking time bomb.
[You can think of it however you wish.]
[I do not care how you will leave your life, author. But I have faith in you and I know for a fact that you can change it.]
Don't try to butter me up now. By the way, it is late, but are you a god?
[I thought you would never ask, but no, I am not. I am just a frustrated reader.]
[I shall go now, we will get to have a chat again in future. Don't forget to check the system, though, if you wish to survive.]
With that, my head went silent. No longer the mechanical voice inside my head.
"Sigh~ is this for real?"
Exhaling a long breath, I rolled my eyes to my side, looking at the system screen before me.
Don't know if it is because I have written a novel with a system and transmigration before, but I am taking it rather normally here.
I decided to stay still for now.
That reader... he must still be watching me. But that is not what's important right now.
Should I really accept his offer and do something?
This world will be finished for sure, and I do not know if my action will change that at all.
Is knowing the future enough to change it?
What if you have all the knowledge but not the strength to do anything?
Sigh~ this sucks.
Even with the most overpowering ability, my MC wasn't able to stop the end, all thanks to me, but... will I be able to change that?
While wondering about that, a notification rang inside my head again.
Ding~
There was nothing, it was just the system trying to pull my attention to itself.
Shall I check it?
I got nothing to lose anyway.
"Alright, system. I will accept you."
Ding~
[Congratulations, host. You have been successfully bound to the Ultimate seduction system.]
[The more targets you seduce, the more rewards you will receive from the system.]
As I thought, it works the same as many systems from novels.
[There are a few unchecked notifications, do you wish to see them?]
Show me.
[You have received an upgrade pass (SSS Rank)]
[You have received a 100 Emperor grade mana stone.]
[You have received Villain Halo (Inferior One).]
[P.S.:- Don't disappoint me this time, author.]
I observed the notifications, or to say gifts, clearly, it was not hard to guess who gave me those.
I am impressed he gave me an upgrade pass. This world of mine works based on mana and mana breathing.
At the age of 16, you awaken an elemental mana affinity, and the grade of your affinity decides your power level.
The grade starts from the lowest F to the highest SSS rank. Obviously, someone who awakened a higher grade of affinity will be much stronger even in the same realm.
But there is another factor that plays a part, and that is mana breathing.
Same as before, the mana breathing techniques are also classified into different ranks from F to SSS rank.
Though they both work in slightly different aspects.
"Hey system, show me my profile."
Ding~
[As you wish, host.]
[Scanning the body of the host. This will take a few seconds as it is the first time.]
With the notification, I patiently waited for the results, but...
[Error... Error... Error...]
