Error

This cannot be happening. He returned a few more years, he thought that he had to act like a villain for eight years and wait for two years till the protagonist defeated the demon king.

But no, it seems Leonard was sent 2 years back from the original. Rather, he was transmigrated when he was just 12 but right now he's 10.

And the strangest part is the system seems… to have a problem.

[Error, error, ror… ]

[ Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error Error]

The system Leonard had been relying on was sending error messages left and right. Then only a few more minutes did he realize what was going on.

[The Demon King was Slain, the story correction course was activated by the Overlord.]

[The Overlord has removed his grasp on the following: Leonard.]

[Leonard has now become a Native of this world]

[Leonard has no set fate.]

[Correcting]

[Leonard is now required to set his fate.]

"What the hell? Can I even have points if I avoid plots?"

[No]

"Figures."

[The only way to gain points is to be a villain on certain plot points. That's what the Third-Rate Villain System is for.]

"tsk… I can't even become a first-rate? Just a third?"

[Due to the damage to the system, that question cannot be answered]

"Fuck."

[However, the rewards given in plot points are fixed, they cannot be evaluated.]

"... So… as long as I act like a villain I'll have these points?"

The system didn't confirm his words, but rather, Leonard knew that those were the same as affirming his question.

"Hah… so I just need to be a proper villain this time, huh. Since I'm going down anyway. Let's go down with a performance!"

Leonard couldn't help but have a smile on his face. He was already good at acting as a villain. Why not top it up a notch? Might as well become a villain that will go down in history.

But there seems to be a problem, The demon king is dead as said earlier. So who's going to be the main antagonist of the story now?

"The Supreme Harem Conqueror" is a feel-good, Mary Sue, generic & cliche of a novel. Leonard doesn't understand how this will go without an antagonist whose sole purpose is to annoy the protagonist.

"Eh, not my problem."

'Yeah, my problem right now is to gain points, not to worry about some protagonist, since I've been liberated for a bit. Why don't we go and do something that'll make me feel good?'

Leonard stood up and walked towards the window. This world is both modern and fantasy, having a magic setting in its world.

"That damn brat! Just because she's the eldest child doesn't mean she could act like that!" A feminine voice bellowed

"Ugh!"

Leonard held his head, the amount of animosity in that voice made him a headache.

"I forgot about this…"

Leonard lamented, he forgot that he was of a fairy bloodline. Thanks to this he can hear thoughts and most of them are only negative thoughts.

"I used the system once to suppress this blood."

Leonard's fairy bloodline doesn't end there, he also has a high affinity to mana, but the previous Leonard didn't use it to its full potential, because he was never meant to do so.

But now it is different.

"I should have done something with that maid."

The one Leonard heard earlier is the thoughts of a maid. The head to be exact.

"If I remember her name was… ah right, Julie."

The head maid roughly existed when Leonard just transmigrated, well she did exist albeit for a short time. The one who kicked her out of the house was Lenneza, yes she kicked the head maid at age 12.

How did she do it? Simple, she framed her. And Leonard doesn't want her in the duchy either 'She fucking stole my shit on the short time frame that she was still the head maid'. Leonard thought

"Hahaha… oh yeah, I'm ten right now, right?"

The reason why Leonard became conceited was because of the same maid. What she did was, of course, stole Leonard's shit. He was blamed because of that and he became so downright twisted because of that simple event.

Remember, tiny things could have a large effect on people. Leonard was such a case. He lost his mother's Ruby which was given to him. But actually, the head maid stole it.

She was caught by none other than Lenneza but it was already too late, it was already two years in the future, by then Leonard's attitude became unbearable for Lenneza to make up with.

"Yeah, she needs to go." Leonard decided

Besides, stealing Leonard's Ruby was not the only thing she did. This time Leonard has a devilish smile on his face.

"I should check the ledger."

The best way to get suspicions of the maid who has greed with no limits is how they've been taking money left and right that is not theirs recorded on a document.

I mean, you'd be very stupid if you didn't record what you bought with the money that belongs to a family. That's stealing.

So to avoid stealing, she would buy things in the guise of using them for the sake of the duchy when in reality she would just pocket the money.

"Hehe… it's night as well."

Leonard breathed as he thought of his plan coming to fruition.

"System, would you still alert me of Plot points?"

[Yes]

"That's all I need." Leonard chuckled.

Leonard started breathing, this time, he used his breathing technique. The one he developed when he discovered Walter's Mana Resurgence technique.

Walter's Mana Resurgence technique is simple, he would take a large amount of natural mana, clean it and make it merge with his own Mana.

What Leonard made, however, is Mana Filter Technique. It goes differently, while it takes Mana from the environment, it doesn't just clean it and merge it with his own. First, the mana would go to his skin, the pores exactly. It goes in and the impurities get better in the outer skin. Next is the muscles, the residue impurities get netted there. And lastly, pure mana goes to the bones and organs.

Basically with that technique, you can use different types of mana, from Nue mana, Mid Mana and Pure mana. And not only that, With Nue mana on the skin, it could disguise you as a lower rank.

Nobody knows this technique except Leonard, he recorded this discovery in his Diary as well.

"oh yeah, the diary…"

Leonard made a diary simply because he wanted to rebel against the Overlord, the overseer of fate. But now he was liberated. Does he even need such a thing?

"What am I saying of course I do."

But because the Diary logs became a habit he eventually took out a notebook from the cabinet.

"I don't have an Invisible ink pen though… "

He doesn't have his trusty Invisible ink pen, he's quite scared that it might get discovered and the timeline could make any turn.

Nonetheless, Leonard has his alternatives.

"Should I go for Morse code? No, that's too easy… binary and Morse? No no no… too encrypted."

Leonard took his time thinking, and then he finally decided on a simple binary of boxes. The box would be coloured black for zero and an uncoloured box would be one.

While it is different to the normal 8-digit zeros and ones it would still be quite a while before you decipher the text.

And besides, Leonard has little worry about deciphering text he has done this time all the time when Binary and Morse was his third and fourth language.

"yeah this is good enough"

He just doesn't want anyone to discover his secrets. It's better this way, he could just rewrite all of this after getting his pen.

"Now, that maid."

Leonard has quite been annoyed by the Head Maids' constant berate of negative thoughts. It gave him a headache. And other than that. Isn't it already nighttime?

Leonard sighed.

"My lady! Young Master Leonard is taking a rest, please be back at your quarters!"

'Isn't that voice getting close? Wait a minute…'

Leonard dashed to his bed and tucked the pen and small notebook under his pillow, just when he thought of laying down to pretend to sleep he shook his head.

"Lenneza would know."

Lenneza, Leonard's sister, is smart, too smart that she puts everyone in her shadow. And give them a sense of dread nobody has ever felt before.

She's cold as well, she was very indifferent even in Leonard's past life, so if Leonard chose to act like he was asleep it would get known by Lenneza as well.

So Leonard decided just to sit up on his bed, not even minutes later the door in his room burst wide open.

"My lady! Young master would wake up if you do that!"

"He's already awake…"

Leonard and Lenneza looked at each other, there were no emotions between their stares.

Leonard didn't receive anything from the system, so right now this is out of the plot and he could do anything he wants.

"What is it, sister?"

Rather than answering back, Lenneza looked at Leonard more closely. Her eyes widened when she saw Leonard as if someone got raised from the dead.

"Sister?" Leonard tilted his head.

"No… nothing."

Lenneza bit her lip, then walked away. This left both the Head maid and Leonard confused.

"My Lady!"

The maid chased after Lenneza in a frustrated tone.

"That's weird…"

Not in a million years would Lenneza visit Leonard, her Indifferent and cold nature wouldn't allow that.

"What changed this time… tsk... I was sent too far back."

Leonard couldn't help but be lost in his thoughts, and then he just sighed. He needed to take the ledger as well and expose the head maid.

Leonard doesn't know the changes around him but he was sure that being sent two years back from the original timeline was the anomaly that caused the changes.

"Ha… let me rest."
