Seduce The Villainess (GL)

(Outside The Creation World Tree- Unknown Location)

(Private System Spatial Zone)

Sui Li sat down in a peaceful meadow and stared at the bright sun that was hovering high above in the sky.

Despite looking directly at the bright object, her eyes did not feel any sort of pain or discomfort.

Perhaps it was because she was merely a soul and not a living person. It was still a fact that Sui Li had to get used to.

But she did have to admit… this was a beautiful place.

There were colourful flowers scattered across the field, tall leafy trees that stood quietly in the distance and a river flowed nearby with tiny fishes that leapt out of the water.

This place was the definition of the beauty of nature.

Sui Li's eyes narrowed as she felt a vague feeling of loss and heartbreak. Something… or maybe someone was missing.

She could not shake off the feeling that she had forgotten something important. Wait… wasn't there…

Sui Li looked down at her hands and saw a mysterious orange orb hovering just above her fingertips.

The orange glow coming off the orb was soft and inviting almost like a warm blanket on a rainy day.

If she remembered correctly, according to the 'system' this orb would allow her to recall her memories from inside the mission worlds.

Sui Li stretched out her hand without hesitation and touched the side of the orb. A horrific scream erupted from her mouth as two lifetimes' worth of memories flowed into her mind.

The young woman crashed to the ground and began to spasm uncontrollably as her identity, sense of self and memories began to warp uncontrollably.

My name is Sui Li… my name is Claire Blanlyn… no… my name is… Qin Lan…

My name is Sui Li… my name is Claire Blanlyn… no… my name is… Qin Lan…

My name is Sui Li… my name is Claire Blanlyn… no… my name is… Qin Lan…

It was too much…

Sui Li had never felt so much pain before in all three of her lives. It was almost as though something was splitting apart her mind from the inside.

She was so distracted by the pain that she did not notice the strange creature that stepped out of the wooden door connected to her spatial zone.

It was vaguely humanoid in appearance, but its skin was a dull greyish colour. Two silvery wings sprouted out from its back, and it also possessed a forked tail.

The creature wore an ill-fitting black suit and jacket along with a plain white mask that concealed most of its facial features.

Except for a pair of dark purplish eyes that seemed to stare emotionlessly at the woman screaming in pain on the ground.

The creature sighed heavily and extended one of its bony claws to tap the top of Sui Li's forehead. It extracted the orange orb and finally the young woman's painful expression ceased.

[Human… your soul is too weak to absorb the previous memories of your mission worlds…]

[I don't know why you would want to see those useless memories but for your own safety I would recommend never touching this orb again…]

[Although I am obligated to save you… if I'm being completely honest… it is an enormous waste of my time…]

Sui Li opened her eyes and sat up from the ground with a dazed expression on her face.

She could no longer remember her old memories but clearly recalled the pain that had nearly driven her insane.

"How can I absorb those memories?" Sui Li asked curiously.

The creature groaned when it saw how stubborn its host was being. There was no good reason to dwell on the past.

As an agent of the Time Space Authority, she should only be concerned about completing the missions that were assigned to her.

Nothing more.

[Sigh… I guess if you were sent to a world where it was possible to strengthen your soul then maybe, or I can apply for an item…]

[You have successfully completed two missions so far… so I mean… I guess you do have some credits in your personal account]

"Credits?" Sui Li asked curiously.

[Yes human… credits… by the gods… do I need to explain everything?]

[You can use credits to buy items in the black market from other agents or in the official system shop.]

[Unfortunately, these items cannot be carried to your mission worlds because you have been assigned to unstable ones.]

[Foreign items will cause the plane to immediately collapse. Human I can't believe that I have to explain something so basic to you…]

"Don't have that attitude with me…" Sui Li snarled angrily as she bravely stood up and stared at the creature directly in its purplish eyes.

"From what I can tell… you have never helped me on any of my missions. I have needed to do everything by myself…"

[I cannot interfere in unstable worlds…]

"Then zip it with the attitude," Sui Li bluntly spoke as she walked up to the creature who cocked an eyebrow at her with bemusement evident behind its plain white mask.

"Do you want to return to being a 'system' of the Male Protagonist department? Then you need me to succeed so that you can get promoted off my results."

[Human… you dare to speak to me that way?!]

The creature's voice echoed in Sui Li's head with a strange tone of… admiration? It adjusted the crooked tie hanging around its neck and a sharp burst of giggles left its mouth.

[Alright… here's what…]

[I have some credits left over so if you complete the next mission and become an official agent then I will gladly share the burden to buy an item to allow you to keep your memories.]

"Aren't I an agent already?" Sui Li asked in confusion.

[Yes and no… agents are required to complete three successive missions in a row and only then are they allowed full rights and the ability to teleport to the central hub]

Sui Li absorbed this new information and thought it over in her mind. Just as this so-called 'system' was stuck with her… she was also stuck with it.

It may have a bad attitude but at least it had not done anything to actively hurt her or lead her astray.

They were stuck together… for better or for worse…

"Okay… when and what is the next mission?" Sui Li finally spoke.

The creature reached into its pockets and pulled out two sheets of paper with strange writings on their surfaces.

The writings were in a language that Sui Li did not recognise but she could sense a strange power flowing through the symbols.

[Your next mission will be extremely dangerous… the villainess of that plane… let's just say that she is truly an insatiable monster...]

[Best of luck human… you'll need it.]
