System Awakening
---
Adrian, now nestled comfortably in his mother's arms after being fed, lay against her chest, his tiny form content yet filled with curiosity. His gaze wandered around the room, his thoughts swirling. He couldn't help but feel a slight sense of frustration creeping in.
"Where is the system? "he thought to himself, sulking inwardly. Every transmigrator has a system to fight the protagonist's plot armor! "Why haven't I gotten mine yet?Is it delayed ?Or I don't even have one"I guess it isn't so bad to not have one honestly with the background.
The sensation of powerlessness didn't sit well with him. He was Adrian , the great tranmigrator, and yet here he was, a mere 7-day-old baby, still waiting for the system to appear, being breastfed by his mother honestly the part of being breastfed wasn't so bad.
Just as he wss about to lose hope, a sudden shift in the air occurred. A faint, glowing ripple of energy appeared before him. Then, to his surprise, a voice—unmistakably human, yet slightly exaggerated—echoed in his mind.
"Ah, so the host is sulking, hmm?"
Adrian's tiny eyes widened as he mentally recoiled in surprise. The voice was dramatic, almost annoyingly so, and certainly not what he expected from an AI. But before he could react, the voice continued, completely unfazed by Adrian's confusion.
"I am your System, Host! Your very own AI companion! Designed to guide you through this thrilling, dangerous, and magnificently dramatic adventure, I am the great system which will help you supress the protagnaist!"The system says in dramatically exaggerated voice
Adrian blinked. This is it, not what I expected though? he thought, trying to adjust his mindset. Alright, fine. Let's see what this annoying system can do...
"Let me introduce myself and all my splendid features," the system's voice continued, dripping with dramatic flair. "We'll start with your Status, Host, and move on to the more exciting things later. Ready? Here we gooooo!"
The voice made an overly theatrical sound as if summoning something grand, and a holographic screen appeared before Adrian, flashing the following:

"That's the best possible start ! Just look at all the titles! Your starting point is higher than most people ending point will ever be. And of course, there's the Divine Charm! You have got great look , you are definitely going to have problems with women in the future for sure "
"Oi , why are there question marks where my talent should be ?"Adrian asks puzzled
"Were you an idiot in your last life already or have become an idiot in this life "the system asks in a sarcastic tone
"Hey, what the hell do you mean by that , I am not an idiot "Alan asks in a offended tone.
"Did you really read the novel or what?, Talent is measured as an average of your Bloodlines, Gifts,Skills, Blessings and Arts, first of all your bloodlines are unawakened, I am not sure which bloodline will you awaken as the anchor, and will you even awaken the rest of your bloodlines and for the rest, half of the slots are still empty so you better become stronger and start stealing from the protagnaist instead of crying like a little girl if you wanna survive"the system says casually
Adrian's thoughts momentarily wandered, but the voice's unneeded dramatics continued.
"Now, let's move on to something a bit more practical for you—Quests!"
"Smartass"Adrian mutters to himself.
Another flashy screen appeared before him, displaying a list of quests.

"Quests! The fun part! Every time you steal something from the protagonist or complete a mission, I'll reward you. The more you take from him, the stronger you get. Let's just say… the protagonist's downfall will make your rise !"
Adrian couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement bubble within him. The system, though dramatic, seemed like it could provide him with the tools to rewrite his fate—and perhaps surpass the protagonist, no less.
"And here comes the most important feature of all! Favorability! This allows you to read a person like a book, you need this when stealing women from the protagnaist"
A new screen appeared, displaying the names of individuals and their affection levels for Adrian.
---
Favorability
Seraphina Ignis Noctis Solis (Mother): 100%(You are the most important person in her life)
Elaris Moonshade (Elven Queen): 75%(She loves you as her godson don't get wrong ideas)
Zephyrus Ignis (Father): 99%(The man loves you and is already proud of you)
Female Leads
Evelyn Moonshade(Elf Princess):80%(Crush)(Well done bro, you rizzed the princess as a baby wink wink)

"As you can see, Host, this is everyone's favorability. And that's just the beginning! The higher their favorability, the more they'll help you! Just to warn you , favorability is fluctuating and may change with time and your actions!"
Adrian thought for a moment, nodding to himself. It seemed like this system had a unique way of leveling the playing field. With its help, he could gather all the power, opportunities he needed, and women he wanted .
But before he could delve deeper into his thoughts, the voice of the system chimed in again.
"Now, I know you were a bit of a music addict So here's a bonus for you. I remember every movie, every song, every detail from your previous world! Whether you need to relax using music or need ."
A sudden image of a screen flickered in his mind, and a montage of various films and music began to flash by. Adrian felt a connection to the music, instantly recognizing it.
"And now," the system continued, "with all of this,you have a reak chance at beating beating the protagonist. He may have plot armor, but you my friend have me , the great system!"
Adrian smirked inwardly, determination filling his heart and his eyes gleamed coldly. So I guess I got a real shot at this huh , I guess gotta make full use of this second chance at life, you better be prepared for your worst nightmare hero. .
"This time I will be the one of write the story"
"All of this," the system added with a hint of finality, "is just the beginning, Host. So, don't get a big head let me tell you , destiny is not something that can be messed with easily ?"
Adrian, in his small body, nodded with the indifference only an adult in a child's body could muster, but inside, his mind was set on one goal—he would not only survive this story but conquer it.
"The gears of destiny have already started turning , who knows what is in store"

The system's voice faded, but its words lingered in Adrian's mind like an unshakable resolve. The stage was set. It was time to take what was his.
