Chapter 3: Revelation And Acceptance

Speaking of unconquerable, she only has a favorable impression of one person in the whole story. He remembers that when she goes out to investigate the events of 'Lost Village', she ends up being harmed by the perpetrators.

A protagonist finds her injured, and takes her to the cave, cohabitation… you get the deal. Routine troupe where a powerful female expert is injured and is helped by a weakling man. During this time he settles his image within her mind. Yeah, that one.

Seth made up his mind to stop that from happening at all costs. And he has to replace himself in that situation. That is the only way he could truly conquer her. At least that's what he thought.

But is it really so? This world wasn't an Eroge anymore. While he could raise affections with heroines by appearing in some events because he has foreknowledge, that shouldn't be the only way to capture them anymore.

For example, if he were to become very strong and then force himself on a heroine, won't the whole script flip?

One more thing, can he really be certain that there are no variables, no changes in this world system?

These females are also living human beings with complex thoughts. He doesn't believe that only by following those events could he raise their affection. Normal means should also be a feasible way.

Like just being nice to them in general, helping them solve their troubles, and things like that.

'Hum, something to discover I suppose.'

All these details passed through Seth's mind in an instant.

"Are you happy for me?" Seth asked with expectations.

Grace looked at him faintly and nodded, and then began eating her food, no longer paying attention to him.

Seth didn't mind. He knew that was her character. She wasn't a woman of many words and she rarely showed any emotions.

'If I could conquer her that would be one hell of an achievement.' Seth thought, but in actuality, he didn't hold much hope.

[5+ Affection with Grace Lamogre!]

'Huh?'

"Huh?"

"What happened?" All three around the table looked at him.

"Did someone speak just now?" Seth couldn't help but ask.

The three looked at each other and shook their head lightly.

"Big brother, are you alright?" Fiona tugged on his sleeve and asked with a hint of worry.

Seth thought for a moment and felt that maybe he was hearing things. Who knows what kind of effect transmigration had on him, after all?

"Don't worry, I am fine. I must be hearing things." Seth smiled and patted Fiona's soft head again. He really liked petting her. When he pets her, she always closes her eyes halfway, making her look extremely cute.

Fiona blushed once more. But she didn't stop him. It felt great to be petted.

[5+ Affection with Fiona Lamogre!]

Seth's hands stopped in tracks. He could be hearing things once but not twice. Something was amiss.

Then it suddenly clicked!

'Wait… is this the legendary system?'

Thinking of this, he hurriedly suppressed his happiness and asked within his mind: 'Hello? System, is it you?'

[Ding! Yes, host. This is Myriad Support System]

'What? Where did you come from? Moreover, why didn't you introduce yourself earlier?' Confirming that he indeed received some sort of system, Seth was thrilled.

As an avid reader of web novels, how couldn't he understand the value of the system? It is the biggest cheat of them all!

The dad every son wants!

Juliet every Romeo wants!

The mobile phone every teenager wants!

It's awesome!

It's broken!

[…]

'Ahem, sorry about that.' Seth was a bit embarrassed. He realized that he got a bit carried away.

He calmed himself down, grabbed a piece of mutton with his fork, brought it near his mouth, and bit down on the juicy meat.

'Good!' The food was actually to his liking.

'So Myriad Support System, can you tell me about yourself?' After eating a few pieces of meat, he asked.

[Myriad Support System is different from the system host may be familiar with. Myriad Support System is made up of myriad systems, each with a different purpose in mind, each with a different value in mind, but they all serve one purpose—that is to assist the host—that you can be sure of!]

[Among these myriad systems, one of them will always be active. They typically stay active for 1, 3, or 7 days, after which they go back in the rotation, and a new system boots up!]

[However, whenever a new system boots up, the main quest will also be initiated alongside it. If the quest is uncleared till the system shuts down, host could be penalized!]

[Host can escape the penalty but he has to pay some tribute!]

[Other than this, the system also has Store functionality, which for now is inactive!]

[Finally, there's the Status function, which can be used to find the host's own or others' status!]

[Does the host wish to stay with the system or remove it?]

[Stay] [Remove]

[Warning: This is a one-time question. The answer couldn't be changed in the future!]

As streams of the information entered Seth's mind, his eyes trembled. This system was unlike what he has ever seen.

If he understood it right then every 1, 3, or 7 days, he would receive a new system that could come alongside the main quest. If he couldn't clear the quest, then he will be subjected to some penalty!

'To keep it or not?'

Seth thought long and hard, even when he finished eating with his new family and walked backed into his bedroom and sat on his bed, he couldn't come to a concrete decision.

"Fuck, this is hard!" He cursed.

[Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. Leaving aside the fact whether the host accepts this system or not, there is one very important thing the host has to keep in mind]

"What do you mean? What do I have to keep in mind?" Seth's eyebrows furrowed. He had a feeling that nothing good was about to come out of the system's mouth.

[In short, the host was reincarnated here with a purpose by a higher power. I was also created by it. Anyway, this is the main info.

If the host wants to survive and doesn't want to get tortured by the demons of Naraka, the host has to conquer all seven heroines and at least 20 other targets. Also, he cannot let any targets virginities be taken by other protagonists!]

Seth's eyes widened in disbelief. For a good few minutes, he was frozen.

"What? What did you say?"

[Host heard it correct. Capture the seven heroines and 20 other targets. Don't let any other target lose their virginities to other protagonists, otherwise, only eternal damnation awaits you!]

"You are kidding me! I didn't sign up for this!"

[Nor did I. We are all tools for the strong. Whether you accept the reality or not has nothing to do with me]

Replied the system emotionlessly.

Hearing this, Seth sighed and jumped on the bed lifelessly. Capture all seven heroines? In this body? It was an impossible feat! He was already doomed! Only eternal damnation awaited him!

He put his palm on top of his closed eyes, ensuing a pin-drop silence within the room. The wind blew lightly and time passed by.

Almost an hour later, Seth asked: "Can you help me win capture targets?"

[Ding! That is the purpose of the system!]

Seth gritted his teeth and voiced out: "Then I fucking accept the system!"
