Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain



While the people present at the party were having a full discussion about the heir of Blake's and the princess of Schilla, both these kids, unaware of the fuming rumors, were standing in front of the mirror in their rooms lost in thoughts. 

Rebecca, who had just been ready with her appearance, looked at the mirror, her eyes looking back at the reflection of herself. 

She was wearing a pristine white gown, which enveloped her petite form completely. The sky blue cape that was flung down behind her back, covering her shoulders and flowing in the wind. The light color dress perfectly suited her unblemished skin which was just as perfect. 

The earrings and golden necklace fitted with sapphire diamonds, she wore which highlighted and enhanced her own sea blue eyes. 

The brooches and bracelets glistened as the light fell on it. A golden tiara adorned her carefully styled hair, its intricate design and dazzling blue diamond shone with her every movement. 

<Rebecca's look for the party>

Her appearance alone screamed in delight, showcasing her royal status as the princess of the Schilla empire. Yet despite all this fashion and glamor, a frown was apparent on her face. Her brows furrowed in a mix of anger and annoyance. 

She's been ignoring her supposed future fiance for the past 2 days, but the boy showed no sign of interest or even approached her for anything. He's been just roaming around with that lazy look despite sleeping like a log for 12 hours. 

She now understood why Amelia calls him the big lazy pig, but he's not a lazy pig, he's a panda, who slept for half a day, yet woke up with red eyes like he couldn't sleep a wink. So annoying. 

"That lazy idiot." She muttered with irritation in her voice, as she remembered the conversation with her father. Her father informed her that the engagement discussions were put on hold until they both finished their studies at the academy. He informed her that it was her aunt Artemis' decision but for her that was just a lie as she had heard Rio refusing the engagement on his own. 

She wasn't particularly interested in marrying him anyway, but getting refused upfront still felt a little bad right. And then that guy started ignoring her like a plague. The sound of her tongue clicking in displeasure echoed in her room. 

'Humph what is he so proud of anyway, his awakening, his blessing. Well, just you wait, after this celebration I'll have my awakening and see how I leave you behind. Then you would come after me and I'll ignore you hehe' 

The thought managed to put a smile on her face, but realizing how it ended she shook her head. This guy is literally everywhere now. 

She stopped thinking about him, and looked at herself in the mirror again. She fixed a strand of hair and decided to enjoy her party without worry. With a determined flick of her gown, she straightened her posture and let a smile grace her lips. 

After all, today was her birthday, she should be happy and enjoy the praises and wishes of others. She's supposed to bask in compliments and gifts from everyone, not stay here and think about that idiot. 

'Though I wonder what gift he brought me.' 

"Ahh so annoying." She flailed her fists in anger, as despite everything, another thought about that idiot popped up in her head. 

—---

"Achoo!" Rio sneezed for the second time, his sneezes breaking the silence of the room. He couldn't help but wonder who was thinking or talking bad about him, as he recalled the myth from Earth, that sneezing was a sign of someone mentioning you. Another sneeze followed, confirming his suspicions. 'Fuck' he thought, feeling slightly annoyed by the persistent sneezes.

Aina, his diligent maid, who had been standing behind him, couldn't help but smile. She had arrived in Haven earlier this morning, along with Agnus and some other family members. 

She handed him a glass of water. As Rio took a sip, the sneezing subsided, allowing him to finally regain his composure.

"Thanks"

With a gentle touch and smile, Aina fixed his hair and adjusted the little crease on his suit, ensuring he looked his best for the upcoming event. This event wasn't just for the princess after all, many of the guests here also came to see the next prodigy of Blake's and check if the rumors held any truth in them. 

Aina stepped back and admired her work, his handsome features, the stark contrast of his black eyes against his white hair. The clothes she had picked for him were also chosen just to highlight that difference too. 

He wore black shirt and pants, paired with a white suit that accentuated his lean physique. The suit had little golden designs along the edges, giving it a noble look, while adding a touch of elegance to his style. 

Golden buttons adorned the suit near his wrists, adding a subtle gleam to his attire. His wrists were adorned with carefully chosen bracelets, each one adding a hint of sophistication and refinement to his overall appearance. Rings on his fingers and the brooch with the logo of house Blake showing his identity and the legacy of his house. The combination of black, white, and gold created a harmonious palette that perfectly complemented his features. 

As Rio glanced at himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but admire his reflection. The white suit hugged his form, emphasizing his stature and confidence. The black attire underneath created a captivating contrast, enhancing the intensity of his eyes. 

His face, with its chiseled features and captivating smile, radiated the charm that drew people in. His white hair, styled with precision, added an air of uniqueness to his overall look. It was a perfect match for the white jacket he wore, as if they were meant to be together.

Rio's appearance today transcended his usual good looks.

<Rio's look for the party>

As he stood in front of the mirror, he took a moment to appreciate the effort Aina had put into his appearance. 

He couldn't help but wonder if it was because she was dedicated to her work, or because she had minor OCD. 

'Yupp, definitely the second one' Rio thought, as he saw Aina looking at him up and down, carefully checking him out, hmm I mean, carefully seeing if she missed something or something she could add to make him even more handsome. 

A smile came to her face, as she finished, finally feeling satisfied and proud with her work. 

"Thanks Aina. Can you wait outside a little, I'll be there in a flash." Rio requested, as he smiled. 

Though curious about the reason, it wasn't her place or the position to ask any question, so Aina bowed and left him alone. 

He turned back to look at the mirror, and his looks still surprised him. 'Did my charm increase or 

'Did my charm stat increase or what?' Rio wondered to himself, as he turned back and saw his reflection.

However, his brief moment of self-narcissism was soon overshadowed by a troubling realization. He remembered something important and the smile on his face faded, leaving behind a blank expression. 

"System," 

He called out, hoping to hear something back, he waited, but there was no response in return. Silence hung heavy in the room, leaving him lost in his thoughts.

"So it's really gone, huh?" Rio spoke softly, his voice tinged with disappointment. 

It had been two days since the system had last contacted him, abruptly pulling him from his sleep, and activating some emergency setting in the middle of the night. It also showered him with a barrage of weirdly dangerous looking notifications on his status screen. 

'What a useless system, seriously.' He thought when he remembered the last notifications he read from the system. 

[It was nice knowing you, host. Though you were annoying sometimes, it was still nice. Take care of yourself without me, and don't die like some idiot.] 

'Humph like hell I will die so early, you moronic AI.' He cursed the useless system and gave up. 

After that night, everything had changed. Now he couldn't get a reply from his system, even if he called for it, insulted it or cursed it. 

System really was gone, offline, dead, blocked, taken over, possessed, in coma -whatever excuse one understands. 

It was gone before the plot even began, hell it was gone before even the first event of flashbacks started. 

Rio, could be the first MC to reincarnate who transmigrated but lost his system without any reason. Now he had to deal with this story and survive on his own. 

'The first event starts huh'

'And I already lost my ace, curse my luck.'

"Well, here we go. What's the worst that can happen?" 

Rio said and walked out of his room.
