The man you see standing alone is the main protagonist.

A darling of the heavens, a human greatly favored by the gods. He was exceptionally talented. Handsome and extremely charming.

But because of his natural gifts and exceptional talents, he was repeatedly taken advantage of and subjected to useless human jealousy and envy.

In the end, he lost everything and became completely blackened. He decided to take revenge on the world, who took everything away from him.

Your mission is to help the main protagonist. Make sure that what he hold dear will not be taken away from him. Make sure that he was safe. And protect him. Even with your life.

I, the system, will issue you missions that can help you prevent the male lead from blackening into a villain.

Lucien was feeling extremely skeptical. He was not interested in it. He was just an ordinary office worker.

If this is the way towards being reborn to another world in another life, he’d rather be in heaven or hell and await for his soul to go to the afterlife.

If you do not want to take the mission, your soul will be stuck in this space forever.

Until your soul life force will slowly die out and disappear. Please know that this space will exist and expand using the soul life force from souls like you that were trapped inside.

So I advised you to think it over.

Lucien was stunned.

He looked at the emptiness with fear. There was nothing here. Except for the blue screens.

So, in the end, there is no heaven or earth? Only this malicious thing who call itself system and his poor soul that will disappear any time soon?

Is he just a pawn? A game character?

Lucien let out a low laugh.

How about it? Have you decided?

“Fuck. If you are forcing me like this, I should get something out of this right?”

…….

“Answer me, you bastard.”

“You’re so enthusiastic in not giving me a choice. But now, you fell silent?”

Of course, you should get a reward. Don’t worry. I will issue small missions and each completion will grant you a reward. These rewards will be very useful for you to complete the main mission.

“Mission this, mission that. I meant my reward! What good does that rewards you said will give me? If they are only for the main mission. Does my wishes have nothing to say in this agreement?”

You will have your wish granted.

The blue screen paused before another set of text appeared.

Once the main mission is complete. That is, all the threats surrounding the male lead are gone, and he will have a long life of prosperity ahead. I, the system, will consider the main mission complete and grant you a wish.

“Only one?”

Yes. If you want, once the main mission is complete, you will be able to go back to your world. You will see your sister, your brother in law and your to be born nephew.

“Yes, I want that. I also want that I will be a billionaire when I come back. Lots of money that I don’t have to work for my lifetime.”

…… Human, you are shameless.

“If you have issues with it, go choose someone else.”

If that will be your wish, human. I, the system, shall grant it to you. Please click ‘Yes’ and you will be sent into that world.

Lucien took a long breath to ease his nerves. He can’t say he wasn’t nervous. After dying like that. No one expected they will be faced with another danger.

And it was his soul that was in trouble this time.

He touched the button. Even though it feels like he was only touching the air, the Yes button responded. Then his vision darkened.

When he opened his eyes this time, his eyes immediately searched for a source of light.

He was still inside of a dark room.

Lucien tried to move his arms and legs but a cold hard object, that was wrapped around his arms and legs restricted his movement.

He can barely move touch his two hands together.

“What the…?” At the end of the tunnel, an orange light suddenly appeared. Like a candle being lit. But much stronger.

Lucien finally had a good look on his surroundings. He was inside a brick walled cage. Cold metal bars were at his right. While in his left is a freezing cold wall with no window.

And right opposite him is a boy. A boy that seemed to be seven or eight years old. Lucien looked at his hands and feet and confirmed that he was in the same situation as the child.

He was also chained to the wall. And like the child, he was wearing a dirty rag like white shirt and black shorts.

But what was even more strange, is the size of his hands and feet. They are much smaller and tinier than normal….

As if he was also a child himself.

“Fuck this.” He cussed loudly. The child sitting right opposite him turn to look at him.

“I’m a kid? Seriously? Where the hell is this?” Lucien did not mind the gaze of the locked up child opposite him. He was more concerned about his current situation.

The system only said he will be given missions. Smaller ones to help him achieve the main goal, which is to prevent the blackening of the male lead.

But he only saw that handsome man once. Just by the image shown to him earlier, it was obvious he was strong.

So how can he, who was stuck in a child’s body, be able to protect him?

The more Lucien about it, the more his wrists and ankles hurt from the chain. It’s like the cold hard metal chain was digging right into his flesh and bones, sucking his blood and flesh to nourish itself.

Unable to make sense of anything around him, he asked the other child of the cell.

“Kid, where are we?”
