El can't believe this, really,he just can't.

Standing in front of him is a black mist that looks like a person. He is super suspicious of it because El knew, that he is dead.

Dead.

This is not heaven nor is it hell. Maybe with all of his scheming and bad deeds, God will dump him in hell immediately. But wow, another entity managed to catch his wandering soul and tied it to its own.

"I am a Grand Schemer and i should've died under the scheme of others, not by a car !" El puffed his cheeks and angrily stomped his foot on the black space under him.

"Hello, I'm System Happy and yes, you just died a few seconds ago. Do not fret, because you'll get your spotlight in a few minutes."

The black mist spoke. It surprised El very much, he tried to punch the one called System Happy.

"You certainly do not look like a Happy System."

"Anyways, you'll complete tasks for me and get rewards. Better than going to hell, ay?"

"And now your tone is cheerful, two faced entity. Why should i comply?" El raised an eyebrow at the entity.

"There's Scheming and world hopping"

El's eyes brightened. "Take my money."

The black mist in front of him nodded and El can feel it smiling triumphantly.

"You'll be a lowly commoner and you'll have to use your own talent and brain to climb up the ladder of society. Of course i'll help and give you pointers. You are the first host that is not annoying and overly arrogant— i might have to take that back but let's go, host." The black mist grabbed El's hand—.

El woke up and is face to face with a fancy white ceiling and the feeling of softness under him. He is covered by a warm blanket.

The information began to pour.

Although his house is decent, it is from his dead grandparents. He's a commoner son with a wealthy merchant Grandpa, that Grandpa died 5 years ago and the only thing he got from his grandpa was this comfortable decent house.

He lived in the upper commoner district, near the market. His parents left him when he's 2 years old in front of his grandpa's house and his grandpa liked to bad mouth his slut of a mother who ran off with a wealthy merchant.

His grandpa did not expect his grandson to be a smart child and decided to claim him as his own.

His name in this world is Elijah Peverlly. His relatives seized his Grandpa's wealth and he managed to get the house before it's all taken by his greedy relatives.

What a smart child indeed.

He was living comfortably under his grandpa's money. Since he rarely spend his money on things like suits, wine and expensive food, he has alot of money on his seemingly small pocket.

But his status as a commoner really made it difficult for him to get a job in the upper district and noble district.

Elijah likes to play music and can be randomly seen singing some songs from the Royal District. The children in his neighborhood loves to spend time beside him, hearing him singing, play the flute and other things under a big tree.

He cooks his own meal and sew his own clothes.

But since El is here, the boy does not have to suffer. El tried to sing some songs from his world and this boy's voice is...pleasant to the ears. Even a simple lullaby can make people sleep in mere seconds.

Elijah clearly has the talent for music but the noble district only dismissed him as 'wannabe singer'.

He helped himself up and realized that his bed is a futon type bed. Truly a commoner. He noticed a mirror near his bookshelf.

Time to analyze himself.

He walked near the large mirror, which is quite cracked, and eyed his teen body.

His skin is pale even he could see some purple and blue veins, well if you look close enough. He has warm brown eyes and his lips is a heart shaped one. He tried different expressions to try and check if his superb acting skills are there.

He inherited his mother's good looks and her warm homey vibe. Truly, she has the vibe of a virtuous wife. But deep down her heart is blackened and she prove herself to be a cruel woman by abandoning her baby in front of his grandpa's home.

El frowned. He continued to browse through poor Elijah's future memories. One day when the boy was singing, he catched a certain noble's attention. He was offered a job to be an entertainer in the upper district.

Elijah, excited, agreed and signed a contract. His life got harsh after that. He was bullied by his seniors in the upper district, his contractor neglected him and was enjoying the money Elijah made from his own blood,sweat and tears.

But the nobles was captivated by his voice and soon he raised in the ranks and was transferred to the Royal District immediately.

After performing in the Royal District, he catched the attention of the Crown Prince and was antagonized by alot of women performers.

The Crown Prince truly cared for Elijah, he even went as far as supporting his harsh commoner life and gave him a much larger and fancy house. Alot jewelries and flowers.

Elijah was very happy. After all, alot of the Royal Family Members did not care for him like the Crown Prince since they dismissed him like a fly.

One day, a certain female was irritated because the Crown Prince pampered the boy 24/7 and she was ignored. She then schemed for his death.

First she gave him some alcoholic drinks at first to damage his throat so he can't sing.

After that she gave him drugs and made him addicted to it.

Lastly she gave him a strong aphrodisiac. It made him rape another performer in backstage and she 'stumbled' upon the scene.

This witch's name is Yura. Elijah was confined in the jail for his crime and soon he was executed in front of the public.

The Crown Prince was disappointed but he believed that Elijah could not, would not, do this. He's a kind and gentle boy. He even confirmed it with Elijah that the boy can't fall in love. He just doesn't have the desire for it.

But alas, at the end before Elijah's execution, the boy smiled sadly at the prince and a tear rolled on his right cheek.

The Prince was speechless and he lost his moment to speak the truth in front of the masses. He doesn't have any evidence. The Crown Prince's mood was very gloomy for the rest of the week. Yura tried to get close to the prince with the intentions of comforting him but she was thrown away.

The Crown Prince then took revenge for his dear friend and sent Yura to the depths of hell. He knew Yura did it. He was furious at her.

The Crown Prince then schemed for Yura's death by his own hands behind his father's back. He puts on the facade of a cheerful and kind Prince, he lets Yura inside his comfort zone reluctantly and when the time comes....

He smiled and drugged her with the same aphrodisiac. A more intense version than Elijah's.

Yura pounced the Prince in front of her and raped him. The Prince of course showed signs of struggle, if not they will suspect that he was willingly giving himself to Yura.

He called the guards loudly and they apprehended Yura immediately.

Outside, The Prince was horrified, inside he was grinning madly.

Once the guards KO-ed Yura and escorted her out, The Prince began to laugh. Since his Court Herbalist did not find any signs of aphrodisiac in Elijah's body, he won't find it in Yura's too.

The Prince was satisfied and that night he stayed up. Because he couldn't hold his laughter every time he closed his eyes and imagine Yura's face of realization when the aphrodisiac took effect.

Yura was executed the day after in front of the public. Months after Elijah's execution, she's executed. It painted a bad image within the entertainment circle because Yura was a well known singer and a popular pure hearted performer.

In the end her lust for the kind hearted prince won over her rationality and once she's invited in his chambers, she unleashed her inner beast on the prince.

That's what the masses thought and they felt angry at Yura for daring to defile their Crown Prince !

But little do they know that their favored Crown Prince is actually a downright sadist and madman, hiding under a sheep's clothing.

El instantly knew this is not Elijah's memory but the whole storyline.

Well, damn. He's going to like it this time. El brought his hand to conceal his cheshire cat grin.

[ Mr. Host, i knew you'll like it. Now for the missions:

Main Mission:

• Become a well known performer

(+500 points)

Sub mission:

•Find True Love

(+600 points)

Total: 1100 points.

You'll have to do missions to purchase useful and useless stuff from the System Shop. Points are like money. Money is Time. Time is Money. The more you waste your time in this world the less points you'll get.

If you finish ahead of time, IF there was a time limit, your received points will increase rapidly. That just shows how diligent you are ! Now for your first mission, i will be generous enough to give you lots of points for a newbie and no time limit !

Of course i will give you pointers since this world greatly differs from your world. Magic exists and it's easier to do things like making food or cleaning your room with magic !]

El nodded his head. He reached up to touch at his fluffy strawberry blonde hair.

"Can i do magic?"

El then stared at his hands as if expecting for a spark to emit from it anytime.

[ Let Happy check....~ Hm......it seems that you have wind attribute but you didn't develop it into...hm...useful stage ? Do you want to develop it ? I saw something called Magic Academy bla bla bla for rich kids to learn and develop their magic. Do you? ]

"I've suffered enough teaching already. I hate my plans to be hindered by school tasks. Do i have another way to develop it ?" El said, he turned his face away from the mirror and eyes his clean and comfortable bedroom. He smiled slightly. He always liked things to be perfectly clean.

[ I'll search ! For now your goal is to be a well known singer and catch the Crown Prince's attention! ] The voice cheerfully said. El can imagine him jumping up and down excitedly.

"That's courting death. But well, the only thing that i can do to fulfill Elijah's dream is to become a singer in the upper district huh ? I feel stomachache for a sudden, can i skip it?" El grabbed his stomach as if it was injured but his face held no emotion whatsoever.

[ Don't ! I will protect you for the time being, so it's okay ! I have the feeling that something good is about to happen ]

El only nodded as he was focused on planning for Yura's demise.

Still, El was astonished with The Crown Prince's devotion to his friendship with Elijah. El was going to spare the Prince even though the Prince is crazy from the start.

What was the Prince's name again? Leo something...

El shook his head and cupped his jaw with his fingers. His cheshire cat grin was replaced with a serene smile.

"Okay."

He then prepared to head out to the market. He knew of a way to climb the entertainment ladder faster.

Currently, Elijah is 15 years old.

He has 4 years before the tragedy starts.

Didn't the Prince mentioned that Elijah once helped him in the upper commoner district? Maybe i'll bump into the Prince this time.

El felt a tiny smirk crept its way on his delicate face. He quickly erased it and continued his walk to the market.
