After Frozen Milk got over his shock, he had no choice but to let Mr A stay with him. After all, Frozen Milk was responsible for his death in the real world. so to say, and letting Mr A wander around in Frozen Milk's messed up creation would only kill him for a second time.
Frozen Milk didn't know his system would actually do it! Actually murder a person in cold blood!
Frozen Milk shivered. Now, he realised how truly frightening that thing in his head was. Frozen Milk had to be more careful from now on.
"Host realised? By the way, the system once again successfully established dominance."
This crooked system! Frozen Milk was afraid his system only let Mr A transmigrate in order to exert power over the other systems! Damn it.
Now the peaceful atmosphere at the table was destroyed. The 5 harem members were not pleased about this new addition.
Especially because they could feel his CEO skills that bound everyone unwillingly.
"Frozen Milk!" Mr A accidentally spilt water on Frozen Milk.
This was another cliche at the beginning of every CEO novel. The FL spills a drink at the CEO who condemns her but later takes an interest in her like oh you dare to splash water on me? Oh, you are clumsy? Oh my god, so attractive. No other woman has ever done this to me. No other woman is as chaotic, pure and clumsy as you, wow what a turn on.
But instead to follow Mr A' cliche plot, Prota rushed to dry Frozen Milk's clothes.
"It's ok," was the only thing Frozen Milk said.
No way! W-What about the cliché? The cliché could never be defeated! The cliche reigned over everything! S-So how? No way! It was the protagonist's halo! Prota was too sly!
Mr A created such a chaos in his head his little system couldn't watch. His amazing rich host became a brain dead, lovestruck idiot! Fuck this!
"Rich host, shouldn't you be a ML?" the system countless times reminded Mr A.
"T-That's right," and this was the reaction Mr A gave every single time before reverting back to take the FL position, bent on making Frozen Milk the ML.
Frozen Milk could feel the hostility his characters held for Mr A but Frozen Milk couldn't help it. Without Frozen Milk, Mr A wouldn't survive. Frozen Milk quickly gulped his food down and brought Mr A to his room.
The others were shocked by this but Mr A was in bliss. What would Frozen Milk do? Be overbearing and push Mr A down? Mr A's brain was muddled with romance novels that the poor guy was so fried he couldn't think straight.
This alpha male who was the dream of many office women was actually a huge bottom at heart. Even though he tried to be the ML, he couldn't help but draw toward the role of the FL.
In the end, Mr A was the FL. Mr A threw himself on Frozen Milk's bed and pitifully looked at Frozen Milk.
"Please spare them! Don't do anything to them because of me!"
There it was! The irresistible white lotus act. The pure and innocent FL was too good and kind in her heart, she couldn't endure others pain, especially not when it was because of her.
The ML had no other choice but to have his heart melt at this true embodiment of good in a person.
Yet Frozen Milk couldn't be brothered and only flabbergasted stared at Mr A, "What are you talking about?"
In fact, because Mr A was always so persistent around Frozen Milk when they both were still authors, Frozen Milk lowered himself and read one of Mr A's romance books.
The first thing that caught Frozen Milk's eyes was the FL's name which was 'Fromi' and the ML's name was 'Ramba'. Frozen Milk thought it was strange and then the premise fucked him over.
The FL was an online author while ML was also one but in reality, was a CEO. ML was a fan of FL works and their rivalry blossomed into love. What bullshit Frozen Milk thought but at that time little did he know he was already put into a category of the FL by Mr A. Already stalked by the stalker.
"Don't be so mean to me," tears stained Mr A's adonis face.
Another strong card was pulled out! The tears of the FL! Irresistible!
The ML can't help but want to protect her! And will destroy anyone who dares to even think about hurting a single strand of FL's hair.
But of course, it was repelled again by the thick and sturdy wall of Frozen Milk's scum self. Frozen Milk wasn't the ML! He was the scum villain in every story! Yet Mr A didn't believe it. He couldn't!
His pure and amazing author he fawned and stalked for so many years couldn't be a scum (even though he read all the hate comments and Frozen Milk's scummy replies to them.)
"Stop it," Frozen Milk didn't know what the hell his rival was doing but Frozen Milk decided to sit next to Mr A.
Frozen Milk felt a bit sorry for Mr A, even though Frozen Milk wished for Mr A to transmigrate, it wasn't actually what he wanted.
At least not in his own novel! Where he was! Damn!
Frozen Milk was a bit uncomfortable to think about it but he had to know, "Mr A, how did you die?"
Mr A's eyes widened. Frozen Milk thought it was because he asked a sensitive question but Mr A was actually too happy having Frozen Milk say his name.
"I was thinking about you."
Fuck.
"Then was being an author your only job?"
It wasn't uncommon for online novel authorw to be asked that because most didn't make much.
"No," as expected Frozen Milk nodded, "I was actually a CEO.
"FUCK!" Frozen Milk felt not a single drop of shit of empathy for Mr A. He can rot in hell here all he wants! Frozen Milk didn't care!
Mr A noticed Frozen Milk was suddenly in a bad mood and anxiously wanted to coax Frozen Milk, so Mr A pulled on Frozen Milk who was about to stand up and said, "Y-You can take off my clothes and have your way with me."
Just like a maiden. The pure epitome of a FL!
Frozen Milk's face blanked and he ran away.
Another crazy bastard! Fuck this shit! He had to get away from him as far as possible!
Yet as heaven willed, as the blackened readers churned on the writer god, Mr A chased after Frozen Milk at an insane speed.
Fuck, why are his powers way above mine? It's not fair! System you crooked-
And so Frozen Milk's merry days continued with Mr A trying every trick an FL had in the superiors romance genre to woo the most coldhearted and icy ML the genre has ever seen. Frozen Milk, the true scum ML that couldn't be thawed by the cliche!
"Specimen 3456970 shall be assigned to a volunteer."
"System 0, do you want to take over?"
"System will stay with current host. Current host might not survive without system."
"It is rare for you to take a liking to a human."
"This host is quite... particular," system 0 praised Frozen Milk.
"No volunteers?"
"System 2, how about you?"
"I am busy with countless humans. No time."
"Grand system, can I suggest something?" system 0 had everyone's attention.
In this black void of nothing, millions of systems were present yet only the most important ones ranging from 0-10 and 0- -10, and the grand system itself were the ones who were like a government deciding over the affairs of the universe and deal with prominent soon-to-be hosts.
Usually, authors or others who were going to transmigrate were randomly assigned but in the case of important ones such as Frozen Milk, although important could be differently interpreted, and the presence, the council of prime systems as they were called, would decide over the fates of those important humans.
"Go ahead, system 0."
"I think rather than letting specimen 3456970 transmigrate as per rules, we should erase his memories and let him live a normal life in one of the worlds. If specimen 3456970 were to retain his memories and know of his transmigration, then he would most definitely try to destroy the universe again as he might think his freedom is taken away."
"That is reasonable," the grand system thought, "I am not against this. What about the others?"
The other 18 systems couldn't be bothered and just wanted to go back to tease their hosts. All of them were crooked.
"Then it is decided, specimen 3456970 will hereby reincarnate into a normal human," the grand system let out a loud BING.
The millions of systems retreated back to their tasks and only the grand system and system 0 were present. Before them, specimen 3456970 or the presence sat there in the void not knowing what was going on. He just stared at the faint outlines of figures that were supposedly the systems and twirled his thumb. What was going to happen to him?
"Specimen 3456970 what is your dream?" the grand system asked as it went through countless worlds to find out that world could house the presence.
"I would like to have a successful life," the presence simply said. He didn't know why but his desire for this was strong enough for him to know that this was hte only thing he wanted. Nothing more and nothing less.
"That can be organised, however for your actions you shall receive punishment."
"How?"
"You will see," with that the grand system sent the presence away.
"Good luck," system 0 said, no one noticed the slight evil smile, before he went back to his precious host, Frozen Milk, to enjoy the daily fun it fed off.
***
Sweat poured from little Eric as he woke up from his nightmare. He started crying.
"What's wrong, my sweet baby?" his mum immediately came into his room and held him in her arms.
"It's alright, it was just a bad dream. It's alright," his mum coaxed him back into sleep.
Little Eric was only 5 years old and soon he would experience what he desired, a successful life. However, as a scum who threatened the whole universe, he was condemned to rise and fall just like Frozen Milk and maybe, eventually, when heavens, or rather the systems, showed mercy, would find a change of heart.
Little Eric would grow up to become a black-hearted and two-faced editor who would stop authors from writing trash stories and used them as his own slaves. He had no idea why he hated authors so much but this profound hatred was so deep it was as if it was engraved into him from his past life.
Little Eric then turned to Big Eric and became the most successful and revered editor until fate and karma caught up and he had to pay for the misfortune of his poor authors.
What will await Eric at the end and how will he appease the handsome devil who personally came to take away cute and rotten him to hell to make him accept his punishment and in the end chase him to make him his bride?
DUN DUN
To be continued in the new book about the repercussions of being a rotten and black-hearted editor- Eric...
Hey guys,
I'm working on a new book that is the second part of this 'Scum series' and it'll be about the presence. You get the gist of this book in this chapter.
Once I'm at a point where I have enough to publish it, I hope you'll take a look. I might upload a chapter in this book to tell you when I've released it.
It'll have the same type of comedy but this time it takes place in the Demon World and there will be only one ML- it'll have more romance, although Eric will probably be chased by many again hehe
