Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain



"Did you have to play around that much?" Amelia said, as they all walked towards the canteen. Who made her hungry after wasting her energy for all this time.

"I didn't though. The professor said not to stop right. Plus she wasn't bad." Rio said, trying to shirk himself of this blame.

"He's right. We all saw it, she was good at it. Her ranking's not a lie." Ayla said.

By the time when their spar ended, the training for other students had ended too. So some of those who still had some little energy left, came to the side of toppers to see their 'training'.

Obviously the other students still need to go through their one hour of special training treatment once the next class is over. But Now they were free too.

"What good, he's always happy to beat us black and blue in minutes, instead of playing around for hours." Amelia said while glaring at Rio. Then she turned to look at her best friend and her eyes turned soft, just like a little rabbit. Her eyes showed worry as she placed her hand on Rebecca's shoulder and said "I'm telling you Becca this guy is just cruel to us two, and calm to every other girl. And you still want to marry him."

Hearing her words, Rebecca almost choked on her food, as she coughed and drank the glass of water in a hurry. After calming down, she glared at Amelia with fierce eyes, with a face that was getting red in a blush every moment.

Her angry expression only made Amelia smile, as she just wiped her mouth, patted her hands and stood up to leave, before Becca could attack her or say something in return.

Rebecca glanced at Rio, who was ignoring both of them and was only focusing on his food.

One day Rebecca just casually asked Amelia about Rio, about what he likes or doesn't, or what he does and doesn't when he's at home. During the topic Rebecca also mentioned that her mother still wanted to continue the talks of their marriage once they finished their studies at academy.

Though at that time Amelia told everything to her friend and seriously tried to help her. But from the next day, all that just became a joke for Amelia to tease Rebecca with.

'There was a saying about secret's and a woman's stomach in my previous life, that's really what happened here too.'

Rio thought, as he swiped his watch to pay for the bill and leave.

In the evening,

"Where'd you get all these?" Ayla asked in a loud tone, as she glanced at the bunch of pill recipes, Rio handed her over.

She just read the recipes for the first two pills, and she was surprised, where he got them. After all, the pill she saw is said to give agility boost to anyone after drinking it. And the next one was to increase one's strength for some time after drinking it.

Obviously their effects weren't much high, and didn't last long. And it was also written that they were only effective for awakeners under limit rank. But what was surprising, was that they didn't had any side effects after the pill's effective duration was over.

There are many such pills in the market, but they all come with some kinds of side effects. Some would harm your muscles, or simulate your blood and mana too much, resulting in some hidden injuries or some were even addictive and people couldn't drink them too often. But this pill didn't have none of those effects. Once the effects were over, you could use the next one once your body stabilizes and it wouldn't leave any scuffle behind. And the most important thing, was that all the ingredients this recipe mentioned were just some normal herbs, that could be found easily.

"I got them from the dungeon last time, and after translating some singular books. You can try to understand them for now. I'll ask Esme to deliver all the necessary ingredients later." Rio informed her as he walked along.

These recipes weren't from the plot or from some singular books, these were all some cheap products of the system shop. It cost him around 10000 points for the original recipe, and another 15000 points for perfecting it and replacing the original ingredients with those which could be found in Arcadia and were in large quantities.

When he first saw the price of 10000,he happily bought all kinds of potion recipes. But after he read them himself for fun, he learned that some of the herbs mentioned in the process, were something he never even heard the names of. And after discussing it with system, the useless AI just showed him the panel of medicinal herbs and the price he'd have to pay to buy them.

Meaning every time he needed to create those potions, he'd need to buy ingredients himself using his points or look for something with similar effects himself.

So after blaming the system for cheating and fighting with it for awhile, system reluctantly agreed to change the recipes it's host bought to make their ingredients suitable for Arcadia.

(Obviously Rio was looking for the item section of other worlds and there was a tag in the shop too. But how could he agree to his own mistake. So he just blamed the system for cheating him.)

These were potions Rio planned to produce in large quantities and sell them to general public, through his company. Since these potions only worked on mortal rank awakeners, which obviously are the most numbers of awakeners - the business and profit he could get from them could help him a lot. Not to mention the reach and reputation boost he could get through his company.

Ohh didn't tell you did I, there's a new company in the industry of potion business called 'Angel', which is registered under the name of Rio Blake.

After the Blake family first released the potion of Pura Corpus 8 years ago, their potion had taken the world by storm, and the potion's success and effects made the company the sole ruler of the entire market.

After all, no matter how many awakeners there are in Arcadia, the number of unawakened people present, is still the highest and increasing everyday. This is why a potion which could help someone in cleansing the impurities and sensing the mana before awakening, became way too famous way too easily.

After that potion's news calmed down in a year and two by a little, the same company announced another potion called 'Potion of Celestial Cleansing'. A potion used in medicinal baths, which could help someone in improving the harmony of their five senses and also in awakening aura.

First a potion for helping people awaken mana, and then a potion for helping people awaken aura - both of these were huge successes and brought tremendous profits for the Blake family. Making its name and reputation known throughout Arcadia.

Then on Rio's 13th birthday, Artemis changed the company's ownership, and registered him as the new owner. Obviously it was just in name, as he was just a kid then, and he didn't need to do anything or manage it himself.

Artemis managed the company's affairs and did everything to make it sit on top of the whole industry.

A year before Rio joined the academy, meaning when he was 14, he decided to change the company's name, and make it a brand separate from the logo of a noble or rich family's business.

The image of Blake family which provided those godly potions to public, even almost free to the people of Damascus, was way too high and positive, and going with that momentum Rio changed the company's name to ANGEL, which everyone accepted while singing praise and praise.
