Chapter 4: Chloé Steeline
[Ding! Successfully connected to the World's Destiny Net]
Sleeping in my crib, I was startled awake by the sudden notification from the system and cursed it as soon as I woke up.
"Yun sob! f a ych... Saystem"
My vocal cords were still not developed enough to properly curse, but I was able to voice out some incomprehensible words that were more funny and cute than some angry curses.
~Phew!
After taking a long breath and regaining my bearings, I realised that cursing wouldn't accomplish much, so I concentrated on the system's notification.
Finally, six months were fully completed, and my system was back.
I had a lot of questions that I wanted to ask the system, but after giving them some thought, I ultimately pushed everything else aside and questioned what I was most curious about.
'System, tell me what took you so long. I mean weren't you an Omnipotent Villain System? Why did you have to go into hibernation for six months to successfully connect to a small world's destiny? Can't you do it in a few seconds, like those novels?'
Okay! My mistake.
I wanted to ask just one question, but as I began to ask the system in my mind, one question after another popped into my head, and I couldn't help but ask them all.
[The system is indeed an Omnipotent Villain System, and is capable of achieving almost anything.]
[A world's destiny net is a very intricate and fragile structure made up of over a hundred trillion threads of fate.]
[Anyone who wants to properly connect to the world's destiny net without drawing unwanted attention to themselves must follow a complex set of steps]
[If the system had selected any other approach, the world would have burst from the system's overload of energy]
Ahh!
'So you're saying that you're too strong for the world'
Humph!
'show off system'
I grumbled and clicked my tongue, but the system ignored my comments and kept answering all of my prior queries one by one.
[There are many children of destiny on Arcedia, some of whom are destined to rule over the galaxies. As a result, the world of Arcedia is not a small world, but it is one of the three largest worlds in this dimension.]
[Reminder to the host: This is reality and not a fictional novel.]
'Oh right! Multiple children of destiny!'
'System! How come the world of Arcedia has more than one protagonist? '
'Wasn't there only supposed to be Kevin before the author died? And you say this is a real world; then how could I have read it in a novel in my previous world?'
She could feel the connection and maternal love she had for me, and that love, coupled with my cute behaviour towards her, was ultimately able to restore her back to her joyful attitude.
I could now see what had to have truly happened in the novel.
A mother who loved her son fulfilled all of his wishes and indulged him to the fullest; she just wanted the best for him, and if I recall correctly, she even tried to persuade him to leave his fiance because she understood that Selina was only using Luke and wasn't actually in love with him.
However, Luke, who became blind because of his love for Selina, never listened to his mother, and Selina, who was in the protagonist's party and was affected by the protagonist's luck, was easily able to escape from the attempts of the Duchess to separate Selina from her son.
For someone like me who grew up with trash parents in my previous life who used to beat me up daily as a kid, Chlo was an angel.
And although 6 months wasn't a long time, in these past 6 months, she gave me so much love that for me, she was the most important person in this world at the moment. For me, she was the real version of a mother that I had always dreamed of.
That was why my blood boils whenever I remember her ending in the novel.
When Luke died in the novel, she tried her best to avenge his death and fought till the end, and even after the Steeline family was almost annexed by the protagonist, she still fought hard,
But!
She was betrayed by her own family, by her real parents, who later joined the hero's faction and poisoned their own daughter to death in her sleep.
Aaahhh! hate!
"Little Luke! did you poop again in your diapers?"
"...."
Perhaps, seeing my angry face, she thought I had dirtied myself, and she began undressing me without even expecting a response from me.
~Sigh!
Although it was really shameful for me, who had the mind of an adult, to be undressed and have my butt and underwear checked, in these 6 months I have come to terms with it, and now it is a normal event for me.
"You didn't poop! then are you hungry?"
"Hehehe" I giggled cutely at that.
Oh Yes!
The best part of being a baby.
Even though I wasn't really hungry, hearing her words suddenly made me really hungry.
~Cough!
~Cough!
For real, I am just hungry and want some milk.
Don't doubt the innocent me.
