chapter 3: the world's original villain

On the way to the 6th young master's chamber I still try to remember where I hear the name Zhen zoya.

"It really sounds familiar..." I muttered.

[ It must be familiar to the host since this world is from a novel. Are you familiar with the word 'NOVEL' ] system#17 said.

"Novel?" the word novel is really familiar to me but I don't know what it is.

[Host, we reach the 6th young master's chamber.] system#17 said to bring me back to reality as I get distracted by my own thoughts.

Just when I open the door, an object went flying right at my direction. I unconsciously dodge it.

[*ding* AGL increase by 1.]

I ignore the blue screen and look at the direction where that object is from. A frail looking boy stands there breathing heavily and glaring at me.

He's wearing a plain white hanfu and his hair was a mess and looked like he just got into a fight. He was pale and thin, he's probably a few inches shorter than me.

"H-how dare to be late you useless insect!!!" he said in a hoarse voice and still trying to catch his breath.

[*ding* new task appeared.]

[ Nurse the 6th young master back to health. (0/100%)]

'wow I just got here and I already have another task.' i thought while looking at all the screen floating in front of me.

" hey!! are you ignoring me?! how dare a mere servant like you ignore me!!!!" Zhen zoya said in a hysterical voice and his face get more distorted because of anger.

"I apologize for being late young master. I didn't notice the time and overslept. please forgive me." I said and bow my head as low as I can.

"ha!! now you finally..ha... learn your place and finally acting..ha... just like a servant!!" I heard him said still trying to catch his breath. I looked up and finally able to see his face properly. He was sweating and looking paler than earlier.

"Young master you look sick, please let this servant assist you to your bed." I said and take a step forward.

Just when I'm about to reach his arm he slapped my hand away. It didn't hurt me maybe because he was thin and sickly.

"ha!! h-how impudent!! you dare to touch me with your...dirty hands!" he said angrily.

"young master I'm only trying to nurse you back to health since it's my job as your personal servant." I persistently said and went on lightly grabbing his arm so I don't hurt him.

"L-let go!!! I don't need your help!!" he yell and keep struggling trying to free himself from me. Even through I'm only holding using my one arm he's still can't free himself because of how thin he was.

'should I just knocked him down and went on nursing him while he's unconscious.' I thought to myself as my patience start to grow thin.

[Host if you do that you will get an OOC warning. And this time you might receive a punishment.] system#17 said.

'huh? where are you?' I said while trying to find a blue screen.

[System#17 can communicate with you through your mind.]

'can you take a form to speak with me. It's kinda awkward talking through my mind.'

[As you wish.]

"you insect... I said let go!!" Zhen zoya said.

'oh I forgot I'm still holding him.'

My patience finally run out and I went on and pick him up and carry him on a bridal style.

"you-you.. impudent servant!! put me down now!!!" he said with a red face.

'oh he's blushing.' I thought to myself.

"Let's go and put you back on your bed. " I said with a smile on my face.

I carry him through his bed and lay him down. I looked around after I put Zhen zoya down. His bedroom was a mess and it doesn't look like a noble son's room.

'system#17 why's Zhen zoya's room look like this? Isn't he a noble son?' I asked. A white cat suddenly appeared and startled me.

"what are you doing?" I hear Zhen zoya said behind me and a streak of cough followed. It seems that he can't see the white cat.

"Ah.. nothing. I will get water for you, young master." I said and get out of the room.

"no...ha .. need." he said and turned his back at me.

" I understand then I will just clean the room." I said and go out.

"Is that you system#17?" I ask the white cat that followed me as soon as I get out.

[Yes, host.] the white cat said with the same robotic voice. [Does this form is not to your liking?] system#17 said and the white cat tilt it's head.

'that was fucking cute.' I said to myself trying to stop myself on throwing myself and cuddle with the cat in front of me.

" No it's fine." I said. " So, tell me about what am I supposed to do in this world?" I ask.

[As I said earlier, you are chosen to be the host of this world. Your main goal is to save this world from destruction.] system#17 said then a blue screen appeared in front of me showing various scenarios like a war, famine, and so on.

"How am I supposed to stop that? Didn't you see how am I? I didn't even have a useful attributes or skills." I said.

[ Please don't worry. Host still have enough time to gather allies and to get stronger. You can level up and get stronger as long as you complete every task the system gave you.] system#17 said.

"I have to gather allies?"

[Yes. Just like the host said, you still weak.]

"But how?"

[You will know once you meet someone you want to be an allied with.] system#17 said and the cat start walking and look at the door of Zhen zoya's bedroom. [For now the host has to deal with the world's original villain.] system#17 said and look back at me.

"Are you.. talking about Zhen zoya?"

[Yes, host.]

"But, how can he be this world's villain? He's weak and so sickly?" I said confused.

[Certain events in the future will change the current Zhen zoya. The host have to decide how you will deal with Zhen zoya.]

"Do you want me to kill him?" I ask nervously.

[Thay decision is for the host to made. But please be reminded that you must think about your decision very wisely since this world's fate is on the line. Would you or would you not kill Zhen zoya?]
