Tyler knew that the restrictions worked differently for every level. Since in this world, the system put a basic level restriction, he knew what he had to do to avoid OOCing and still change the storyline after half of it was finished.
Low-level restrictions meant that the system only wanted Tyler to follow the arcs by hook or by crook, but he could also change the characters and replace them with someone else when necessary. He had explored this level in the previous worlds and knew what to do—so acting as two characters until half the story wouldn't kill him.
In any case, he would have to find someone to replace him again who could seduce the crown prince.
So he would just kick this worthless beta disguised as an omega from the picture completely! Instead, he would himself come down here at the bar every weekend and act as the male lead's lover disguised as the beta who was disguised as an omega.
Wait, that wasn't easy to understand, but Tyler didn't care. He just wanted to play his part until half the story is finished.
Thinking like this, he walked over toward the beta and sat down, giving the person a gentle smile. "Why do you look so sad?"
The beta, who heard this voice, got stunned and glanced at the person beside him.
He could see the man's gentle expressions complimented the facial structure, making the latter have a feminine touch. The man's small stature made this person even more attractive. The beta couldn't help but stare at the man for a while before averting his eyes. "I just didn't know where to go."
Tyler raised his brows. He had read about this person in the system. This beta belonged to an aristocratic family who had decided to hide his identity and make him an omega. This beta's parents couldn't give birth to anyone else, and a beta child made them feel ashamed. So they changed the documents by paying a considerable sum to the official. They even have regular injections to their son so that he could look similar to a real omega.
Since childhood, this beta thought that he was sick or something that made him stop smelling pheromones. Generally, alphas and omegas release pheromones to attract each other, but this beta couldn't do so. At the same time, he couldn't even smell other people's pheromones. But when he realized the truth, he felt like lightning was struck on his head.
He fought with his family and ran away overnight to a bar. Here, he was hired as a lead singer in the bar because of his beautiful voice and body. And that's how he met the male lead the next day.
So Tyler's plan was simple. He just wanted to become the lead singer instead of this beta! And what would happen to beta after this? He would let his family care about it.
So he opened his mouth and said, "Then go back to your home."
"I'll never step foot in that place!"
Tyler sighed. He had expected this guy to react this way. "Did they hit you or something?"
The boy shook his head.
"Did they commit a crime and hurt you physically or emotionally?"
The boy thought for a while and shook his head again.
"Then did they say they didn't love you anymore?"
The boy's shoulders slumped on the stool as tears appeared in his eyes. "My mom begged me and said she will always love me even if I don't come back. But…"
"Look, I don't know your name and what's your history, but it seems like your family is good to you. You shouldn't just kick them aside."
"Then…" the boy struggled to open his mouth and glanced at Tyler. "What should I do?"
"Forgive them for whatever they did to make you angry. Remember, it was all in the past, but you can always change your future."
The boy let that sentence sink in his consciousness and nodded, slowly getting up from his seat. "You're right. I was too hasty. Thanks a lot!"
Tyler's lips curved up to form an unfathomable smile. "Don't mention it."
And just like that, the beta boy was successfully removed from the storyline. So when that neta left the bar, Tyler leisurely sat back and glanced at the bar counter before him.
Just then, he heard a voice.
"That's nice of you to help him," the bartender said as he filled a glass of water before handing it to Tyler.
Tyler accepted it and smiled, but he didn't say a single word in reply. He continued to sip in the liquid as if what the bartender said had nothing to do with him. Then, he put the glass down and asked, "Is there any vacancy here?"
The man was confused before he thought for a while. "What kind of work do you want to do?"
Tyler shrugged and acted as if he didn't even know they needed a singer. "For example, a sweeper, waiter, or even a singer?"
That man's eyes lit up at that. "You sing?"
The former shrugged and nodded. Of course, he could sing. If his memories were still lost, he would have found it challenging to play this part, but now when he had remembered everything about his journey of the previous worlds, he suddenly gained the upper hand at many skills, and singing was one of them.
In fact, it wouldn't be exaggerating to say that he had once been one of the top award-winning singers in a few worlds. So why wouldn't he know how to sing?
The bartender excitedly said, "You wait here. I'll talk to our boss!" Then he sprinted off somewhere else to call someone on his phone.
When Tyler saw this, he smiled and relaxed his shoulders. Now that the problems of his work had been solved, he needed to figure out what he should do about this. If the male lead were forced to put restrictions on him and lock him inside the house or something, he wouldn't be able to go out and have a 'date' with his lover in this bar.
And another thing he considered was his identity. If he were to become both the villain and the main lead, he would have to carefully hide his face with a mask until he could find someone else for the villain's role.
In any case, according to the storyline, no one had seen or heard about Victor. This person had been initially timid and hidden well by his aristocratic family.
