Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

The day of the freshman party…

After taking a cold shower, that's always a reason for him to be late, Rio got out and stopped in front of the mirror. While getting ready for the party, he started thinking about the details written in the novel about this event.

"Hey, system. Do you think there'll be an attack on this party too?"

He asked as he brought a hairdryer and started drying his wet hair. He got bored doing this with a snap of fingers and using magic. That sucked the whole fun out of the feeling of hot air on his head, which he quite enjoyed after a long cold shower.

System, who was too used to its host's whims on wasting points on useless things, stayed silent over this new purchase and focused on the question instead. [Hard to say. But there is a possibility.]

"You think so. Warzy and Evil's Scion already made their moves on this map already. So they shouldn't rush to pull any extra hatred so soon." Rio said, throwing the dryer back into system inventory, and browsing the shop for some fancy new clothes.

Just like back on earth, he hated outdoor shopping on Arcadia too. And here he didn't even lack money or something, he just didn't enjoy it like others. So for everything he needs, it's always his system shop.

System again, ignored the ongoing purchases and answered directly. [Those two groups aren't the only villains in the book, host. So who knows, maybe it'll be some independent villain or someone from the other groups.]

"You mean the strays and the sinner's guild?" Rio said as he kept flipping through the long list, and applying all kinds of filters on search option.

[Can be, you should just be prepared for everything.]

"Well, as long as you don't go offline all of a sudden and bail on me, I should be fine."

[Come on, that just happened once.]

"Yeah, and it lasted for eight years. Hehee."

Rio said jokingly as his eyes fixed on a black suit costing 10000 points, and he bought it.

Don't ask what features it had, he just skimmed through them in a hurry. [Of course a suit costing that many points comes with a few benefits.]

[I should start cutting your points for all the emotional damage and insults you're giving me daily.]

System said in a seemingly annoyed tone, like it was wrongly accused and was feeling angry, but Rio directly shut it up.

"Don't you dare look at my points. I already doubt that they're decreasing quite fast. Maybe you're already eating them up behind my back."

[Wow, just great. If anything I might've added a zero or two extra by mistake with how much you're messing up everyday.]

[And can you stop with this useless shopping spree, geez what a waste.]

"Tsk, fine. Anyway, how many points do I have left now?"

[415820 SP]

"Just that? They really did drop a lot huh." Rio said looking at the megre points much to the system's displeasure, "Well, I should farm Leon a little more in this party. Let's make it 500k by the night, that'd look a little nice."

(Poor protagonist, I wonder what this guy will do to him today.) System thought and prayed for the protagonist, while silently stealing a box of popcorn, preparing for the drama later on.

Leon, who was walking towards Vanessa's room, suddenly sneezed and ended up dropping the white flower in his hands. 'Why am I suddenly feeling cold all of a sudden?'

While Rio was busy training Katherine daily, (Not at all training himself in the training room bought from her points, after beating her up.) Leon was busy charming Vanessa.

After the auction event the two of them got to know each other. And since both use fire element, Vanessa even invited him to train together too.

Even though Leon's sudden rank drop and his video of perverted choices was known to the whole academy, it didn't cause as big a commotion Rio hoped it would. After all, with everyone talking about an attack that big and Evil's Scion's sudden appearance again, what happened to a freshie student paled in comparison.

Maybe it was fate or maybe Apollo's backhand, but there were even rumors going around that Leon's rank drop was caused when he used some forbidden spell in his fight against the villains to save people, causing some stupid kids to admire his heroism.

Though Rebecca and Alfred knew better, but both of them didn't come out to say anything for their own reasons. Rebecca simply didn't care and Alfred let it be for his own thoughts and plans.

As for Leon, being the protagonist he didn't care about others opinion and focused on training with Vanessa.

So overall Leon's image was stable again.

Though the bullying he faces and mockings he hears from some rich kids did increase a little. Some students even started challenging him, hoping to defeat this rank one genius.

But as any novel goes it's only the minions of some big villains, so Leon either managed to win, or hold on until someone interfered to stop their battles.

Vanessa too, didn't mind the difference in their strength over his rank drop, and happily trained together with Leon, learning more about fire element and mastering her spells better with Leon's help and guidance.

Yesterday, one of the elite families kids enamored with Vanessa, even formed his group and fought Leon, but Vanessa saw that scene and stopped it.

Feeling apologetic that due to her Leon was getting bullied, she even allowed Leon to spend this party with her, so no one else can trouble him, until he heals from his injuries.

What was she thinking doing that, knowing this would only make her suitors and fanboys more angry and determined to hate Leon, no one knows. Guess it's a certain glitch in the heroine's brain to become brainless when it comes to the protagonist.

Rio, of course knew about their budding development of this relationship, but he didn't care.

Vanessa already hated him for what he did to her brother, so being friends with Leon who was also against Rio was nothing unusal.

And besides it'd be fun to give hopes and love to Leon, and then watch as he loses everything step by step. The suffering caused then would be much better.

Looking at himself in the mirror as he finished his hair and put his rings back on. Just to be sure he even used Aphrodite's blessing, blink of brilliance, and smiled as he found his charm went up by another degree.

"Hey system, tell me how do I look?"

[Just like a man in black.] System said, throwing water on this ever growing narcissism it's host started to get nowadays.

Currently he was wearing an all black suit with matching shoes and watch. The only different colors on his overall look were just his combed white hair, and a few pieces of accessories. Like a golden brooch on chest with the insignia of Blake family. Two fancy rings on his right hand's fingers. One a storage ring filled with all kinds of stuff and the other a normal diamond ring. A dark red buckle for the belt around his waist, which is basically just a bloodthirsty sword in disguise.

"I'm getting more handsome every day, aren't I?" Rio said with a smile, just to annoy the system, who in turn gave another reply instantly.

[Urgh, go show off somewhere else Shakespeare. All you'll get from me are taunts and sighs for your shamelessness.]
