I Was Hoping She Would Notice but again Now When She Did... Im Tired

Chapter 226 The truth



Her fingers drummed lightly against the book's cover.

"And that one chance…"

She pointed at Max.

"That chance is you."

"Systems ."

the real game changer for all.

Max didn't react.

Not because he was surprised he wasn't but because he had already known his role from the beginning.

His small hands clenched into fists.

"Systems carry the power of the multiverse itself," she continued."A force capable of shifting destinies."

She leaned forward slightly, resting her chin on her palm.

"As the Seer, I had the right to choose one pivotal character from that world.One person whose influence was strong enough to alter the fate of everything."

She sighed.

"But altering a story isn't as simple as snapping a finger. The only way to do it…"

She lifted the book slightly.

"Is by flipping the roles."

Max's expression darkened.

He knew exactly where she was going.

"The hero must become the villain."

"And the villain must become the hero."

She let those words settle in the air before continuing.

"And in this case, the best way to achieve that was through the heroines."

A knowing smile tugged at her lips.

"This entire world revolves around Victor Veinz using female heroines to gain strength, exact revenge, and ultimately kill Arthur."

She tapped her finger against the book's title.

"So the key to flipping the story was simple."

She smirked.

"Make the heroines fall for the villain instead."

Max remained expressionless, but deep down, he knew this wasn't a lie.

Her plan had been set from the start.

The only way to shift the world's fate was to manipulate the hearts of the key female characters to take them away from Victor and turn them against him.

And there was one character in the novel perfect for that role.

She leaned back slightly, her gaze glinting with amusement.

"Lucian Kane."

Max tensed slightly.

His master continued.

"A character who, in the original novel, was barely important. A mere footnote, cast aside with no real purpose."

Her fingers traced the book's edge.

"But when you look at him carefully… he has deep ties with many of the central heroines."

She began listing them off.

"Olivia Kane as his mother."

"Rose Kane as his sister."

"Avey Starline as his childhood friend and first love."

She tilted her head.

"All women who held great influence in the original timeline. All women who, under the right circumstances… could have been the ones to change everything."

She exhaled lightly.

"I had planned to send you as a system to guide him to make him stronger, to push him along the path of power."

She glanced at Max.

"He wouldn't have known that his real purpose was to shift the story's balance."

"And of course," she added, her tone nonchalant, "his fate was already sealed."

She closed the book.

"Once he served his purpose, he would have died naturally.The universal laws would have ensured that."

"But…"

She narrowed her eyes.

"An anomaly occurred."

Max clenched his fists.

"Something that was never meant to happen."

She exhaled slowly, her gaze sharp.

Before i could start my plan

"An unknown soul… from an unknown source… crashed into Lucian Kane's body."

It was an anomaly a rare one.

Almost nonexistent.

Even she, the Seer of Fiction, had only encountered such cases a handful of times.

"Normally," she continued, tapping a delicate finger against her temple, "I could simply erase that character, allowing the anomaly to drift naturally into the reincarnation cycle."

Her golden eyes narrowed slightly.

"But… these anomalies don't usually land in important positions within a story. They're typically background characters, insignificant enough that their presence barely causes a ripple."

She sighed, tilting her head slightly.

"So, I leave them be. They live, they die. Nothing changes."

She waved her hand dismissively.

"Most of the time, it's just a lost human soul some unfortunate existence that died in another dimension and, due to some strange cosmic factors, ended up in a newly formed fictional world."

Her eyes flickered toward Max. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"But this time…"

Her voice took on a sharper edge.

"This time, the anomaly landed in the perfect character placement."

She tapped the cover of the book in her hand.

"Lucian Kane."

Her lips curled into a knowing smirk.

"The ideal candidate to alter the fate of the world. The perfect pawn to set everything in motion."

She let out a soft chuckle.

"And since I lack the power to manually remove the soul, I figured… why not let it be?"

Her gaze fell onto Max, who remained silent, his tiny body stiff.

"After all, it wouldn't have changed much. You were watching over him. You were supposed to make sure our plan went perfectly."

Max lowered his head.

"Ahh…" Her voice took on a mocking sweetness. "But my dear Max got too attached to his host, didn't he?"

She twirled a lock of her golden hair between her fingers, a sly amusement dancing in her gaze.

"You pitied him."

Max's small hands clenched into fists.

"You forgot your mission, Max," she sighed, shaking her head in mock disappointment.

"You were supposed to make him strong. To give him overpowered abilities by any means necessary."

Her smile faded slightly.

"The plan was simple."

Her voice grew colder.

"Lucian Kane would grow powerful. Ambitious. Greedy. And through that, he would attract the attention of the central heroines."

She listed them off, one by one.

"His mother, Olivia Kane, would see his rise and benefit from it."

"His sister, Rose Kane, would be forced to acknowledge his importance."

"His childhood friend, Avey Starline, would inevitably be drawn to him once more."

She let out a soft, bitter chuckle.

"All he had to do was keep chasing power keep completing missions, keep growing stronger. And in the process… he would unknowingly empower the heroines."

Her golden eyes bore into Max, unyielding.

"You chose the Love System for a reason, didn't you?"

Max flinched.

"You knew the mechanics perfectly."

She tapped the book again.

"The system rewards him for bonding with women. Every bit of strength he gains, every ounce of wealth he accumulates it all flows into the heroines as well."

Her voice softened, but her words were sharp as a blade.

"Lucian Kane was never meant to be the true beneficiary."

"He was just a middleman."

Max body trembeled.

He knew.

He had always known.@@novelbin@@

Lucian had spent all this time believing that he was growing stronger, that he was gaining power for himself.

But in truth?
