Is The Heroin Theft System Back?

[The characters Alice and Matheos of Fallen had negative thoughts because of the host. The feelings they experienced were Sadness (Alice) and Fear (Matheos). +1000 Negative Energy.]

"Huh?" When Theos left the room, he found a notification panel right in front of his face and was startled.

'Did I get a negative energy system?' Theos wondered. "I had exchanged the system for negative energy... But it seems that the negative energy itself has merged with part of the system."

He considered the possibility and lifted the corners of his lips slightly to one side.

"System, what are you, how do you function, and how are you here despite being traded?" he asked mentally as he continued walking.

[To answer the host, I am a system, just that. How it works and how I am here has a lot to do with what I am] the system said in a robotic voice, pausing for a moment.

[Despite the exchange, you only exchanged the divine favor of this system and its core. Fortunately, the system was able to foresee this and merged with the host's soul, at least partially. By receiving the negative energy, the new energy modified and mutated the system itself, transforming it into what it is now]

[We are a system that will enhance the negative energy you receive since much of it has been exchanged, we can only do this]

"I see," Theos said understandingly when he understood the explanation of the system.

'And let me guess, if I make the characters in the original story feel negative emotions or feelings because of me, it will be more points and negative energy, right?'

[Affirmative] The system replied immediately. [Despite the exchange, part of the Steal Heroines system is still conversational, but only a small part, and we can only give rewards on rare occasions because the system doesn't have enough power, and it has even lost all contact with its creator].

Theos was silent, analyzing the now possible possibilities. No doubt, this was a gift and he wasn't going to waste it. His luck had brought him here. All the disadvantages of a system were gone, so he would accept this one with open arms.

'Status.'

[Name: Theos Von Fallen.

Age: 17 years old.

Path: Oblivion.

Race: Human.

Rank: Unknown.

Unique abilities: Unknown, Attracts heroines.

Negative mana: 1500.]

'Hahaha, typical, a status panel' he chuckled. 'But... This skill? The system, show me the Heroine Attraction skill.'

[Heroine Attraction (Rank ??): The first skill granted by the system, your aura and presence would attract the attention of every heroine in the story and you would become extremely attractive to them], he read the description in front of him, chuckling to himself as he gave the order to deactivate the skill.

"For now, no need, I already have my plans for each of the heroines...", malice shone in his eyes.

Theos' inner joy was hidden by his cold exterior, but still, the aura around him was not as threatening as it naturally is.

This may be why Alice approached Theos and greeted him with a smile that reflected relief at his return and concern for whatever had summoned him. Thus, Theos had no time to observe the description of his other ability, nor to confirm the deactivation of Heroine Attraction.

"Your Highness..."

"Don't worry, Alice. He just called to invite me to a birthday party, basically," Theos replied reluctantly, patting her on the head, which Alice gladly accepted.

A sigh of relief escaped the mouth of the girl who had been frightened by Theos' assurance.

Lifting her head, she stared at him with dubious eyes. "Have you accepted the invitation?"

"Yes, there will be a lot of nobles at the meeting, and I can't stay locked up here for the rest of my life," he replied with a firm voice.

Alice nodded, paused for a moment, and then grabbed Theos' hand and entwined it with her own. She shivered nervously and blushed, but didn't stop at all.

'This warmth in his hand... 'My heart is pounding' Alice exclaimed inwardly, feeling as if her heart would burst out of her throat at any moment.

On the other hand, Theos was confused by Alice's bold actions, but he quickly relaxed. After all, she had already moved closer to him because he had allowed it.

"Do you want to go to the meeting with me?" Theos asked seriously, lifting her chin with his hand as he looked straight into her eyes.

The firm tone and serious look startled Alice, who couldn't react for a few minutes from the shock of so many surprises.

Fortunately, thanks to her training as a personal maid, she recovered from the shock as quickly as possible and shook her head vigorously. "No, I couldn't, I'm just a lowly servant and..."

"That doesn't matter to me," Theos explained, his eyes showing slight annoyance. "I said clearly: You, do you want to come with me or not?".

"Huh...?" -she said, cornered by Theos' arms. He held her hands tighter, as she bit her lips. "Yes... Yes, I want to come with you."

"I can't hear you."

"I do, I want to go with you!" -Alice answered him, almost shouting. Pouting, she let go of Theos' hand and slapped him on the chest. "Stop bullying me..."

"Ha... Sorry," he apologized, patting her head, "let's get ready; we leave tonight at 20:00"

"Understood," Alice replied. "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to get ready myself," she said before leaving and hugging Theos tightly. "And please, Your Majesty, don't cry again. I won't ask why you have a completely different colored eye now or why you seem to have changed your appearance, but please don't cry."

"Don't worry, like I said, I just got something in my eye," Theos replied mockingly, but somewhat embarrassed.

"Yeah, uh-huh," Alice said before escaping with a giggle. Theos didn't follow her. He walked away with a smile.

He couldn't smile like that in front of the others, at least not now, but he could smile without anyone seeing him.

"A few hours from the beginning of the novel's plot... The first arc, the Count's grand banquet, and the Count's coup," Theos recalled as he wove the new plans to gain more strength, remembering the entire plot of the novel.

The more negative thoughts he has, the more misery he will bring to the world and the more powerful he will become.

"Even though my power may be sealed now, it is gradually weakening. If I have more negative thoughts, my power will be stronger than the protagonist's.

With this memory, the smiling Theos moved about his room, planning every minute detail.

Soon evening came, and with it Theos' departure for Rasforh County.
