Jin Liu reaches through the warm covers surrounding his entire being and he slips it off his petite figure. He grips the sheets, leaning on the headboard of the wide bed as he shifts himself for balance. He calls forward the system to help him familiarize himself with the world he now resides in.
[Hello host! What a good day to go and complete some tasks eh?]
"Well aren't you too enthusiastic for someone- or something.... that barely explained my tasks before taking me here. Tell me, you want me to fail my tasks don't you?" He teases.
[Ofcourse not host! Why would I want to make my first ever host fail? If you failed, me, the system, will also face consequences like the host. So, please don't misunderstand this system and if the host would like to talk with the system, it's easier to communicate through thoughts]
The system replies with a serious response yet you can't help but laugh as you imagine the system saying this in a whiny tone of voice.
'I... I see'
[Why are you laughing host?]
'its nothing' Jin Liu answers with a small and simple smile adorning his face.
[Ehem!... Now as you know, I'm called System Darling. As the name suggests, the tasks you will be receiving from me, your system, will revolve around the darling of the world, or as we'd like to call it, the darling of the master of the worlds.]
'I understand, so who is the darling of world exactly? And do I get a background review to help me in my missions?'
[Yes of course host! Currently were in a novel called ⟩ My Precious Lily ⟨ the hero of this novel is called Theodor Edwards, by barely looking at his name you can feel his domineering aura! And he is, he's a well known figure in the business and upper social classes as he's the only rightful young master of the greatest finance corporation in City A. The Edwards family was rumoured to have descended from a Noble family of long ago, but who knows?]
'....What? Aren't you a system? You're supposed to be all knowing about the worlds we would visit to avoid complications right?'
[My ofcourse host but in this case the system's knowledge is limited to the data equipped and received by the higher ups, the host will have to bear with the system]
'You say that in such a cheery tone knowing this could lead to an obstacle for me?'
[It will not host as you are also a young master of the Rosenberg Family, Luca Rosenberg, which is a rich and influencial family, though not nearly as influencial as the Edwards. They've been in the peak of the industry for decades!]
'Seeing as you're not introducing me as this guy's darling, I have to guess my role is a side character or whatnot'
[Not quite, you're the villain whose job is to eliminate the chances of the main paring to be together in the original novel!]
'This does not reassure me at all...'
[Oh come on host, don't be so pessimistic! It's the only the start after all, you haven't done anything yet to destroy the main pairings affection for each other]
'Well this information elevates my discomfort a bit I suppose... Is there anything else I have to do besides making the main pairing come together and profess their love in the end?'
[Glad to hear host! And for the time being there is no other missions for the host to complete, so the host can use this time to prepare yourself for the incoming events where the ml and mc shall meet and develope their feelings for each other!]
'The question is, how do I get close to the male lead and his darling without alarming them of my existence?'
[There is going to be a banquet celebration to be held next week and the master of the world and his darling met the week after. That gives you enough time to develope good feelings for one another]
'Hm...' Jin Liu or now known as Luca makes a sound of acknowledgement towards the system's statement.
Just as Luca and the system's conversation comes to an end, a series of slow yet resounding knocks coming from the carefully carved wooden doors produces echos that resounds throughout the room Luca resides in.
"Young master, it's me, Lina. May I come in?"
'Who is she?'
"You may come in"
The wooden doors began to open with with force being applied from outside, the gap in-between reveals a tall and sophisticated brunette wearing a long flowy maid outfit, she seemed to be the original Luca's personal maidservant.
"Young master, I apologize for the disturbance but I had just received an invitation to the celebration of the Edward's young master first client and success after working for his father for 1 month"
"I see, then you may go now"
"Yes young master, if you may excuse me. Have a good day master"
Lina give a 180 degree bow towards Luca as she closes the mahogany doors with a slight pull towards the outside.
'It seems like opportunity just came knocking down on our door, huh'
[Are you ready host?]
'I was born ready'
Luca replies with a smug and confident look on his face as he stood up from his seat and sauntered towards his cabinet to organize all the commodities he will be needing to complete his mission of bringing the master of the world closer to his darling.
