Why Should I Stop Being a Villain-Chapter 78: Curse of Fate

[ WARNING!!! ]

[ A harmful energy is intruding host's body ]

[ Using blessing--------Cannot use ]

The chains tightened around the two of them as strange greyish energy started to corrode the chains coming from Asher's body, but it could not keep up as more chains kept appearing.

[ SYSTEM FAILURE!!!! ]

[ Host in mortal danger!! ]

[ Source: Alyssa Astaria ]

[ FORCE QUEST INITIATION: KILL ALYSSA ]

[ Using Emergency System function ]

But out of nowhere, the greyish energy that was corroding the chains started to move itself towards Asher.

[ Host in mortal danger!! ]

[ Source: ??!??!?!??!? ]

The time was still as the system was using the hidden function that was only meant to be used when Asher was near death.

The system was detecting multiple sources of energies, but it had already used all the functions it was supposed to use.

Suddenly, greenish energy flooded the room and wrapped itself around both their bodies. The chains started to disappear gradually as the green energy took over.

[ Cancelling Quest!!! ERROR!!! ]

The green energy had managed to counter the chains, but the greyish energy was still attacking and damaging the system's traces inside Asher.

A purple spark appeared, and multiple runes started to appear in thin air.

[ ADMIN ACCESS GRANTED ]

[ System Modification Started ]

[ Removing Force Quest Function ]

[ Removing Host takeover ]

[ Removing Soul Tampering ]

[ Updating System.... ]

Many traces of the system inside Asher were disappearing, but the purple spark kept producing multiple unknown runes.

[ Removing Fate limitation ]

[ Warning!!! Continuing this will decrease the host's fate accumulation rate ]

[ FORCE ADMIN OVERRIDE ]

[ Giving Host full access ]

[ Restricting Information..... ]

[ Adding level restriction!! ]

[ System Update Complete.... Removing Admin traces ]

A voice appeared out of the purple spark.

"Trial--" But it stopped.

The chains had now completely disappeared, and the greenish energy turned around and attacked the purple spark, but before it could, the spark disappeared.

*******************

In another dark space, an mutliple sparks of purple energy appeared. They joined together and took the shape of a man.

"My time to leave has come," it spoke as the chains appeared inside the dark space, trying to capture the purple energy.

"This system was a failure, so I will give you full control," the voice echoed in the huge dark space.

"Hehe, crazy guy he is," the voice laughed.

"But still, he is not evil enough," the voice spoke as the purple energy went rampage inside the dark space, hitting the uncountable number of chains that were eating the dark space.

"But I truly wish you win," it spoke as the chains were overpowering the purple energy.

"But in the end,"

"Your end will just be less miserable than mine, HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA," the voice went crazy as it disappeared from this world forever.

********************

Inside the room,

Time resumed as Asher's face went a bit pale.

"You fine?" Alyssa spoke as she removed her hand.

"What happened?" Asher questioned because he was feeling a bit strange.

"You look pale," Alyssa replied.

'Why am I talking so much,' she wondered, as she never had talked to another person this comfortably.

"Pale?" Asher brought out his phone to look at his face, which was indeed paler.

[ Warning!! ]

He saw a system notification but as he was with Alyssa, he decided to check it outside.

"Let me go wash my face, I will come back in a minute," Asher stood up before receiving Alyssa's answer.

Alyssa just saw Asher who left the room.

"Wait, I forgot to ask him about the painting," Alyssa remembered.

She tried to stand up, but suddenly,

"Argh," she clenched her chest as her pain started to appear again.

"I should wait for him," she sat on the sofa again, bearing with her pain.

Asher went out of the room and travelled a bit far into the empty space in the hallway.

Looking around and sensing no one was present, he decided to look at the notification, which appeared all together in front of him.

[ Warning !!! ]

[ You are getting inflicted with a curse ]

[ Your blessing was removed as it could not overpower the curse ]

[ All your skills have remained and could still be used ]

'What is happening?' Asher questioned the system in his mind.

[ Host's contact with Alyssa Astaria resulted in Host getting cursed ]

[ Many of the functionalities of the system has been removed due to this ]

[ And if I am not wrong, Alyssa Astaria is also cursed just like Host ]

Asher's eyes went dull as he heard this, and his aura changed completely.

"Tell me about this curse," he muttered with his cold voice.

----------------- Fate Devourer System -------------------

[Name] : Asher Von Raven Greville

[Level] - 17 (EXP 1000/17,000)

[Bloodline] : Devil's Absorption Rank SSS

[Cursed] : Curse of Fate (Active)

[Body Constitution] - Mana Core Rank E+

[Quests] [Synthesis]

Curse of Fate (Rank - Doesn't Exist)

1. The one who bore this curse is fated to die. The bearer of this curse will usually get hated by others.

2. ????

[ Level Too low for more information!! ]

Asher looked at his status where the blessing had been changed into the curse.

[ Both of must have been cursed but the impact is much larger now due to Host's inteference in his destiny. ]

[ It seems that your destiny is not something that was meant to be changed. ]

[ Changing destiny just by devouring fate is not possible and this curse is the proof of that. ]

"Curse of Fate? How will I remove this?" Asher asked.

[ The system doesn't know how to remove this curse ]

[ But the host will get an opportunity in the coming years ]

"What about Alyssa?" Asher asked the system. Him getting cursed was not an issue bigger than Alyssa's.

[ Her curse and yours are strangely connected ]

[ Fetching Alyssa Astaria's status.......... ]

System Window

Name - Alyssa Astaria

Cursed - Curse of Fate (Active)

Fate points - 150 :: Asher Von Raven Greville

[She had a very low number of fate points that would result in her death in the coming years.]

[But due to this curse, your and Alyssa's fate points are now connected.]

[The moment one of your fate points reaches 0, both of you will die, and nobody can stop it.]

[But strangely, this curse has connected your fates, so she has the same number of fate points as the Host.]

[But your fate will not bring you any luck as it would have previously. You need the fate points to survive, but you will not receive any benefits like others who have greater fate.]

[The system has more information, but it will remain sealed for now. The Host will be able to access it in the future.]

Asher was not following everything that was happening right now. His brain was already calculating all possibilities, and he came to the realization that this must have been the reason for Alyssa's death in his previous life.

There were multiple times that Asher had tried to protect Alyssa, but he thought it was due to his low fate that he could not prevent her death. However, learning that both of their fates were low, and her suffering was also because of this curse, made a lot more sense to Asher.

[But the system has received great damage, and for now, you cannot receive quests and their rewards.]

[But the hidden quest system is fine, so the Host can still continue with his plan, and if they meet the conditions, you will be able to gain the rewards.]

[Quest Rewards :: Generating....]

[Both quests completed.....]

***********************************

[ Curse of fate reducing the rewards.......... ]

[ Total Fate points earned changed....]

[ 3000 --> 1500 ]

"Dammit," Asher cursed.

"I should kill them all." His killing intent was rising, and he wanted to strangle everybody who was involved with Alyssa and him in his previous life.

"Argh," he rubbed his forehead, knowing that the moment he openly killed anyone from the Elite families, even his own family, despite being so powerful, would not be able to save him.

The immunity of being inside the World Academy was the rule decided by the high council, and breaking it resulted in a death sentence. This was the reason why kids from enemy families were studying in the same academy without killing each other.

[The Host can now fight and kill others with greater fate, but remember that you will not gain any fate from them. But you will also have no penalties for killing them.]

"Of course, because I have already gained the penalty," Asher was annoyed with the random variables that kept coming his way.

He took a deep breath to calm down his mind.

Asher's face changed as a smile appeared on his face.

"I have a lot of time to play and kill them all slowly," Asher's eyes were full of madness, and his true self was coming out slowly.

He knew that he would get enough time to carry out his plans and get stronger while being inside the World Academy. And the main reason he was attending World Academy was to stop the death of Alyssa that was bound to happen in the future.

"I am still short on fate points," Asher saw that his total had still not reached 10000.

"A bit more," he said.

Asher turned and went back towards the room.
