The Betrayed Prophet

Note: I got inspired from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. Mainly the part about dooming the Main Character/Prophet. So I will make my own take on this.

"Why?..." Ye Xian whimpered as Dexin kick him down to the floor.

"IT'S *stomp* BECAUSE *stomp* YOU... TOOK GRACE FROM ME!" Dexin said as he relentlessly stomp on Ye Xian's body.

- Flashback 24 hours ago -

Ye Xian was just reading a book, when suddenly...

Detecting Main Character's Awakening...

System Initializing...

System Startup Complete

System Review: Trash, how utterly trash. The average stats excluding luck is 10 for a normal human being. If not for your skills. You won't even qualify as unrecyclable trash!.

Yes, Ye Xian has awakened a system! Though.. He isn't the main character... But, the Main Character is his childhood friend! Dexin, unlike Ye Xian, was rich but bullied in his childhood days. Ye Xian, whom was a passerby, tried to protect Dexin. Only to be bullied too. Thus, resulting in their strong friendship.

Ye Xian knew Dexin went to the core city to awaken his abilities, something he was envious of. But, God seems to have eyes, considering that Dexin's awakening seem to result in Ye Xian's awakening. And based on what the skill - Prophecy.

Prophecy Target: Awakening Reason

Description: The Main Character, Dexin. Has always been followed with a Prophet. The two are naturally attuned to each other and are usually best of friends. The Prophet's Goal is to divine out any dangers and opportunities for the Main Character. While the Main Character's Goal is to grow stronger. As the Main Character grow stronger, the Prophecy skill increases in strength.

Ye Xian patiently waited a few days and when he finally met Dexin, Dexin immediately pummelled him down.

"Ugh, if only I could kill him. I would have done so already. But killing the Prophet as the Main Character would probably have negative consequences." Dexin said as he dust his hands. Similarly as if taking out the trash.

"Why... Would you do this?" Ye Xian, repeatingly ask.

"You didn't faint? That's surprising from a weak trash like you... Fine, I will explain. Before crippling you. I'm a Regressor. In the other timeline, we defeated the Demon King. Everyone was happy - except for me -. You stole the love of my life - Grace Emeraldfield - away from me. Your pathetic state has attracted her. Every time you heal me, despite I am the one being injured, you always act weaken. And despite gaining multiple levels, you always are weak." Dexin said as he spat on Ye Xian before walking forward and took his foot up and snapping Ye Xian's spine before leaving.

Ye Xian, at this moment. His eyes are blank. After taking in what Dexin had said. He understood what had happen. Apparantly, Grace in the future will fall in love with him. And Dexin, unable to accept the fact turned back time. It is also obvious why Ye Xian is always weak. His probably sacrificing stat points to heal Dexin, and probably boosting Dexin's stats too.

Ye Xian, at this moment. Felt hopeless, crippled for life. His best friend abandoned him. And... His potential love of his life is in danger of this lunatic.

"I can't let this go... I WON'T ALLOW THIS." Ye Xian murmurs before yelling.

His eyes darting. Such for any way... A single way to get his revenge.

Only... for his eyes to move to the 'Prophecy' skill.

"Damnit, damn this skill. I rather never have it." Ye Xian raged. His physique is already trash, and if he wants to heal his spine, it may be impossible. Even if he manage to heal by sacrificing his stats, he won't even be strong enough to stand. Let alone kill monsters to level up. That's excluding the fact Dexin will probably monopolise any treasures that he knows of due to being a Regressor.

"There's no way I can grow stronger than him... He is the Main Character... He is a Regressor... So he knows where all the treasure are." Ye Xian lowers his eyes from the Sacrifice skill as he knows. He can't win even if he recovers by sacrificing stats.

Only to see the 'Prophecy' skill staring back at him.

Everything in his mind clicks. The 'Prophecy' skill is one of the strongest skill in the world. It has great value, both it's growth and it's utility. He doesn't need it. He needs potential, not useless treasures that he can't have.

"But is it enough?" Ye Xian thought. Is this really enough to catch up to Dexin. "No. But this is the only thing of value I have." Ye Xian thought again as he looked at the 'Sacrifice' skill.

"Yes... That will be enough. The earlier I do this, the better the the skill I get will be." Ye Xian confirms immediately.

Use Sacrifice Skill!

Sacrifice: 'Sacrifice' Skill and 'Prophecy' Skill

Target: Blessing. The strongest blessing that will let me grow strong enough to triumph the Main Character!

As Ye Xian clicks to sacrifice, a golden light shines within him. So bright that even though he emits the light, it blinds him, and also causing him to faint.

System: *Sacrifical Successful. ???'s Blessing has been obtained.*

Coming in: Okay, let's be honest. I will probably not write a webnovel about this.
