As Ray came home, he quickly questioned Aina. The thing that happened today was too weird, and Skye's status that said "I was supposed to be the protagonist" was quite worrisome.

" So Aina, do you owe me some explanation?"

[ Sorry host, I don't get what you mean.]

" Don't play dumb Aina. Who the hell is that Skye and why is he causing a problem with me."

Aina's lack of response a little bit annoys Ray. He was alone when he came into this world, and he has been depending on Aina since day one. Thus, when Aina didn't answer his question as he wanted, Ray was somewhat at loss.

[ There's nothing to explain about That protagonist host. All hosts need to know that he is the main protagonist of the Super Duper Love Plus Ultra game. While for the second part of the question, the host may find some clues after looking at your own information.]

[ Description: A Side Character in Super-Duper Love Plus Ultra game ]

[ Protagonist halo: 70 ]

[ Villain halo: 5 ]

[ Unused attributes point: 111]

.

[ If you look carefully, you would notice there were 2 new attributes, the villain halo, and the protagonist halo.]

Ray nodded at Aina, he already knows that he got those 2 new attributes, but recently he was too busy to increase his base stats. Making him forget to ask about those to Aina.

[ Well, don't you worried about those 2 attributes that suddenly pop up.]

"Hehe, actually I was a bit worried at first. Still, because I was too focused on grinding the stats this week, I forget to ask you about that."

[ .... ]

" Ehe "

[ Ehe te nandayo!! ]

.

[ Geez, back to focus. Actually, those 2 attributes were pretty important. The villain and Protagonist halo would boost your luck as either villain or protagonist. But just as their name, the villain and protagonist halo would also bring you effect like you are the villain or the protagonist.

The higher your protagonist's halo, the more likely you were to be treated as a protagonist. And it would work the same for the Villain Halo. For the other, it would be advantageous for them to get one of the haloes, but for you, it's a different story.

You were transmigrated as a mob in this world, so when you started to receive treatment like a protagonist.]

Aina stays silent for a while before continuing her explanation.

[ The world will reject you, and you will instantly be erased into nothingness.]

This revelation shocked Ray. He was still enjoying his life in this game-like world, but now he was forced to be awake at the grim situations awaiting him.

Suddenly facing a grim situation, Ray's first natural reaction was to complain about everything.

He might be calm enough to accept the transmigration. Even so, Ray was still a teenager in his past life, one who has never experience the glory of a man. With his life on the line this time, it would be strange if he could stay cold-headed.

Ray stays in his panic-struck mode for more than 10 minutes. Only stopping after he felt his throat dry and need some drink to refresh the sore throat.

[ Have you finally done whining like a dog, my dear host. ]

The cold voice from Aina hit Ray like a lightning. He was still worried about his life, and now his only life reliance. His own system was turning back in him.

" Say what you want! You were designed and born as a system. From the start, you never have a feeling. What would you know about a young teen who was still trying his best to reach his peak at life, suddenly told that he will face his doom soon. TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW YOU D*MN SYSTEM!!!"

The atmosphere instantly turned quiet. Ray, knowing he has said more than what he should have said turned his head to Aina and wanted to apologize.

" A-Aina... I-

[ Dear host, Indeed I don't know how that feels. But I know how to prolong your life.]

Aina's word fell like water on a dessert to Ray. His red eyes now gain back the lost light in them.

[ The key to maintaining host life was the balance. The villain and protagonist halo may have a similar effect, but they also counter each other. If the host could maintain the same amount of points for both the Villain and Protagonist halo, then host life would not be endangered The host would gain some bonus or called the mobs halo.

The mob's halo would increase the host's luck and it would also reduce the chance of the host getting discovered by the protagonist or villain.

for the host's previous question, Skye has challenged the host because the host has a pretty high amount of Protagonist halo. In the world of protagonists, more than 1 protagonist could not co-exist together so the 2 protagonists would battle each other, and the loser would have their protagonist erased, while the winner got their status enhanced.]

Ray nodded at Aina's explanation. He was listening carefully and he knows that Aina would not lie to him.

" Then what should I do to increase my villain halo? I don't remember doing anything and suddenly my protagonist halo increased."

[ *Sigh* The host could increase the villain halo by doing what a villain should do. During the last week, the host has patiently learned very well to increase his intelligence. The hos has also helped some grandma to move their belonging in the afterschool to help to increase the other stats. All of them were acts of kindness so it's normal for the host Protagonist's halo to increase, furthermore, the Host has robbed Skye's chance of getting close to Rena, so some of Skye's protagonist halo was transferred to the host.

*Deep Sigh* It was a pretty long explanation, so Aina hopes the host understands and Aina would not need to repeat it again.]

Ray quickly nodded his head again, signifying that he understands Aina's explanation. His eyes now were full of hope, he was pretty confident that he could rob Skye's protagonist halo and maintain his mob halo as well.

He looks grateful toward Aina, but then he felt somewhat guilty in his heart.

" Ne, Aina. I'm sorry about my words that time. I was not in the right mind and I know I was overstepping the line, however, I hope that you could accept my apology."

[ Don't worry host. The host was not wrong, Aina was indeed didn't have the so-called human feelings... But someday, Aina hoped that she would better understand humans and know what the host was feeling.]

The response was in a mechanical-like sound. But the last part somehow contains a strong expression from Aina.
