Villain: 10x Rewards Begins With The Protagonist's Mother

[Total Favorability: 66 (Affection)]

Dante stared at the number with shock still in his eyes as he washed his face in the sink.

’16 points in a single day is absolutely insane. Is heartbreak the secret method?’ He thought jokingly, shaking his head.

He wiped his face with a towel and set the notifications to auto scroll.

[Natasha has given up on her own son but not you! You are one step closer to becoming his daddy!]

[+5,000 Villain Points!]

[You have successfully corrupted Natasha and she has decided to pursue you romantically!]

[+5,000 Villain Points!]

[The protagonist’s mother wants to use her body to seduce you!]

[+5,000 Villain Points!]

[Total: 30,000]

[Emma’s favorability toward you has increased by 3]

[Total Favorability: 36 (Interested)]

[Emma is happy after you started paying attention to her again!]

[+3,000 Villain Points!]

[Total: 38,000]

Dante raised his eyebrows after seeing the first notification. ’She gave up on Ryan?’

This was something new to him as it was never mentioned anywhere in the plot.

But as he thought about it, it finally made sense why Natasha never took revenge against the Devereux Family. This was the missing piece of the puzzle.

’Knowing her son’s luck, Master would have known he wasn’t dead and that he’d return someday.’ Dante smiled but it quickly turned into a speechless expression. ’And from this stage, that bastard Ryan got her to give up her emotions entirely and follow the ruthless path. How absurd is his protagonist aura?’

"System, how does the protagonist aura actually work? Is there any way to cancel this shitty mind control?" He already had an idea but he wanted to verify it properly.

[The protagonist aura works on anyone who has positive feelings toward him. Because Ryan is currently in a dormant stage, the effect is significantly weaker.]

[As a villain, you are immune to it. At the same time, it won’t work on your targets either. It can be negated as long as people have positive feelings toward you instead.]

"Oh, that’s nice. At least everyone close to me will be safe." He said with some relief as the faces of Natasha, Emma, Felix, and Freya flashed through his mind.

He scrolled through the rest of the VP notifications and watching them stack up never got old. He was planning to assign a system to Emma today which meant both slots would be filled. He wanted to always keep one slot available, but to unlock a third slot, he needed to sleep with his master.

That wasn’t happening anytime soon.

With that option crossed out, he needed to farm villain points.

50,000 points for the third slot.

He was almost there.

"It’ll be even faster with a heroine." Dante grinned, looking at the 3,000 points he got just for making Emma happy.

This was the difference between a heroine and a supporting character.

When it comes to villian points, heroines were top-tier milking cows and... the protagonist was the goddamn Milky Way.

’Son, when are you going to return? I’m already missing you!’ Unlike his thoughts, the grin on his face was the complete opposite of what a loving father would wear.

Just imagining the amount of villain points he would get when Ryan comes back and discovers about his

He hadn’t forgotten about the favorability milestone rewards either.

He now had two chances to assign a high-level reward. One chance let him assign an Epic reward. But with two of them combined, he could assign a Legendary one.

’A Legendary bloodline would mean a Mythic for me.’ Dante’s fingers itched. A Mythic bloodline was just one grade below Divine, the maximum level possible.

But he held himself back.

For a reward of this caliber, he needed Natasha to do something that would seal the deal completely.

After wiping his face, Dante fell back on the bed and looked at the last notification again.

Emma’s total favorability.

[Emma’s Favorability: 36 (Interested)]

According to the original plot, her favorability should have been much higher than this.

But the original Dante’s years of ’hardwork’ had slowly chipped away at her feelings until this was all that was left.

As for her previous favourabilty.....

A semi transparent blue screen appeared in front of him.

[Name: Emma Evans]

[Realm: None]

[Bloodline: Frozen Spirit Bloodline (Epic) (Unawakened)]

[Talents: Aptitude(SSS), Comprehension(SSS), Sword Heart(SSS), Business Empress (SSS), Ice Affinity(S), Money Magnet(SS), Midas Touch(A), Frost Mask(A)]

[Luck: Mythic]

[Favorability: 36 (Interested) (Previously 58)]

’Heroine, huh.’ When he first saw her status panel, it was really hard to hide his shock.

She has FOUR SSS rank talents.

What was even more insane was that every single one of the heroines was just as broken as Emma.

"How did that fucking idiot even manage to fumble this?" He looked at her previous favorability and could only shake his head in disappointment.

58 down to 36.

Twenty-two points lost not because of a single event but because of years of neglect.

The original Dante didn’t try to break her heart. He just starved it as much as he could.

But this was actually helpful for him.

"My goal was to make her fall for me. I was worried she would still think of me as the original no matter what I did, but it seems I was wrong. She isn’t as obsessed with him as I thought." He said, his eyes still on her status panel.

’But seeing how her favorability went up by 3 just from paying attention to her, there’s definitely still a shadow of him in there.’

But honestly, he wasn’t too worried about it now.

Over the past two days, he hadn’t been thinking only about Natasha. He actually spent more time thinking about Emma. How to develop their relationship, what kind of system to give her, and a lot of other things.

And the conclusion he arrived at was simple.

If he wanted her to fall for him, he just had to be himself.

Emma herself had created the perfect opening for him.

Aside from telling her he wasn’t suicidal, Natasha also told her that he had changed a lot. Now he could use that as cover to show her who he really was.

As for the system... he pulled up the system creation tab.

[Do you wish to distribute the ******** System to the chosen target?]
