I know you guys don't really like my choices and tastes, but just accept it. Just think of this as the beginning of the story and will end with the climactic battle that I'm definitely looking forward to. Now, to know more about the essence of this story, please just read the manhwa "When the Villainess is in Love", and in addition, I am very inexperienced in describing things, especially when it comes to clothes. Peace be upon you and please enjoy the story I made while I was bored

< Mission has been accepted >
Hikaru was currently staring at the screen processing his answer results when it changed to several notifications.
< Host has taken the first mission >
< The host gets a multiverse cellphone as a reward for taking the first main mission >
< The host will get other rewards after completing the mission >
< Now for the details, main missions are missions that are very beneficial in the host's development. Therefore, it is recommended that the host never refuse the mission, even if you reject it, be calm because there will be no penalty for the host >
Hikaru nodded in understanding, the main mission is like the most important arc in the development of a character such as an anime or manga protagonist and so on, this can be said to be the main plot in a story that guides the protagonist towards the end of the story.
"Continue"
< Understood, as host has accepted the mission. The host will carry out missions in other worlds like most other system users, time in the host's world will freeze so it does not affect the host >
< Now for world setting selection, the host cannot choose that world but will be chosen randomly using a card system >
The system screen now turns into a mass of energy that spreads out and creates a blue energy field before starting to create lots of cards with pictures of anime, light novels, manga and so on. At a glance Hikaru could see several famous covers such as the anime Dragon Ball, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Justice League, Avengers, Naruto, Bleach and many more.
But Hikaru eyes fell on the Justice League and Avengers cards, even though Hikaru didn't really like either of them. He felt like he really wanted to go to that world, the reason was none other than looking for an opponent who could fight him on equal terms.
Although it seemed arrogant, Hikaru didn't have such thoughts. The biggest reason he had such an urge was none other than because his Saiyan blood burned like fire, and the reason was because he felt curious about the extent of his own limits.
With those two encouragements, Hikaru felt like a child who desperately wanted a cool new toy. And the feeling is simply unbearable! But Hikaru's sanity was still the most dominant so he could resist the feeling of choosing that card.
Even though he had confidence in his speed, he could tell that the system had provided a real challenge every time Hikaru wanted to choose. Every card flying around moved at the speed of light, which certainly made Hikaru even more aware that he needed to think everything over carefully before making a decision.
He sighed and thought for a moment, clearing his mind, Hikaru observed every movement of the card he was targeting and knew that the card moved in three simple patterns. However, the turn of the pattern is random so that what started as three, one, and two could become one, three, two. And not only like that, the pattern can be double, such as one, three, three and so on.
All Hikaru needed to do was keep observing each pattern and how many seconds each pattern spent changing.
All the cards floated and surrounded Hikaru like a tornado as his eyes focused on several cards, calculating every second that passed and which pattern was occurring. Hikaru moved his fingers like a cowboy preparing to take out a weapon and kill his opponent, and it depended on hand speed.
Whoever is the fastest is the winner.
After all that, he sighed once again and was confident in his calculations even though mathematics was a subject he was not very good at, he could even be said to be stupid.
But Hikaru remained confident and when the card that was in the pattern two was about to change pattern to one because the card was seen curving downwards, he quickly took the card he believed to be the Justice League card.
And sure enough, when turning over the card. Hikaru found pictures of famous western comic characters such as Batman, Super Man, Wonder Woman, The Flash and others with the title Justice League in the middle of the card.
A feeling of happiness filled Hikaru because he felt smart and had Senku brain, but all that hope disappeared like dust blown by a storm.
< Congratulations on accepting the world mission "When the Villainess is in Love" >
The card in his hand blurred before it turned into a card showing the image of a beautiful girl with golden white hair that seemed to shine with purple eyes. Wearing a beautiful dress and sitting in a throne chair while several pictures of men hands are seen giving gifts such as crowns, flowers, glass shoes and two others are seen holding strands of the woman hair and her hands.
Hikaru face that looked happy had now become sour, so sour that it was filled with many wrinkles with a blank stare.
"System...what is this?" He asked in a calm voice.
< That is the card that the host will live on >
"Are you tricking me?"
< No >
"Then why did my chosen card change?"
< That's because of the random card system >
Hearing the answer from the system, Hikaru kept a straight face while holding the card, and looked sad and depressed as he stared blankly at the system which also returned his gaze.
"You fooled me, didn't you?"
< Yes >
"..."
< •_• >
The two stared at each other in silence, he felt like screaming and releasing the feelings of frustration that were slowly building up in the back of his head, but all Hikaru could do was accept it all while scratching the back of his head.
Hikaru let out an angry growl while the system was still looking at him with the same expression as Hikaru did.
Hikaru once again looked at the card he just got and saw the title of the card. "When the Villainess is in Love", and from the first glance he could tell that this was a comic from South Korea.
Manhwa is a term used for comics or comic books originating from South Korea. Manhwa generally has a different style and format from Western manga and comics.
Although in general, the reason Hikaru knows this is a manhwa is because of the South Korean writing that is clearly displayed as the title, and why Hikaru knows the meaning of the word is because he speaks fluently in various languages even though English and Indonesian are the things he knows best.
And the most important thing is that Hikaru knows and has read this manhwa.
This manhwa has genres such as Josei and Shoujo where the target readers of this comic are women, and as a man Hikaru is more focused on fantasy and action stories with a little slice of life seasoning.
Even so, the manhwa "When the Villainess is in Love" was the first manhwa that Hikaru read and introduced it with the theme of a female antagonist or in other words, a villainess.
Where the villainess theme has an average story of an antagonist who becomes good either through various means such as repeating time, a reader who is reincarnated or his soul is transferred into the antagonist's body and slowly replaces the protagonist in the story, and usually ends with a happy ending.
However, thanks to this manhwa, Hikaru also knows many themes such as hunters and so on.
Let's just say that even though he is a man, for some reason this manhwa is one of his favorite comics and Hikaru doesn't know why.
Is it because the antagonist is beautiful? The background? The theme of the story? The picture presented? Or is there a story in it?
He really didn't know, after all Hikaru had forgotten a lot of the stories in the manhwa "When the Villainess is in Love" because he hadn't read it for almost 2 years and was focused on his life.
"It's no use if I'm angry, remember what Yui said."Always being patient is one of the keys to achieving a goal in life", huh..."
Hikaru calmed himself down then started asking the system.
"Now system, can you explain what this mission is actually like?"
< Accepted >
The system screen then displays a number of information such as a status screen where it shows information about the mission and other things related to the mission.
< ——————————————————— >
• MAIN MISSION •
World : When the Villainess is in Love
Summary: One day a woman reads a novel and suddenly dies and is shocked that she becomes her favorite character who is an antagonist named Princess Libertia Vance. Because he doesn't want to die horribly like in the novel, he finally plans to change his life so that it is different from the story in the original novel.
Description: There is a foreign presence who enters the story and plans to change the written line of destiny.
Objective: Stop the foreign figure! The host can defeat him or kill him, any method permitted by the God of that world.
Present : ???
Failure : ???
Deadline: None
< ——————————————————— >
Seeing this information, Hikaru pondered for a moment. He thought all he needed to do was a simple thing, but to think he would find something rather interesting.
A foreign figure? Is he strong?
Hikaru wasn't too sure, but remembered that this manhwa was aimed at female readers by featuring a reverse harem genre that was supposed to be a man with several women who liked him becoming a woman who was liked by several men.
Forget about that, what was important was the foreign figure featured in the mission, it seemed that Hikaru's hunting target was that figure. Considering that this manhwa is filled with handsome men, it is very likely that the foreign figure is a woman who wants all the handsome men to be hers.
He wasn't too sure, but somehow maybe his guess was right.
"Okay, I understand. So what I need is to erase the foreign presence right?"
< Correct host >
"Then, what are you waiting for? We can start"
< Understood, but there is information the host needs to know. Does the host want to hear it? >
Hikaru nodded in response to the system's statement just now.
< The host will be summoned to the world of "When the Villainess is in Love" as a servant. And the concept of servant and master takes a concept from the Nasuverse where the host will enter into a contract with Princess Libertia as his servant. This is necessary to maintain the existence of the host >
"That means in other words, Princess Libertia is the anchor for me to be present in that world, right?" Hikaru asked, because from what he knew the master and servant system of the Nasuverse was unique. Where someone will summon the spirit of a hero who is in the Throne of Heroes to become his servant and then fight together in a war to fight for the Holy Grail or known as the Holy Grail War.
And the heroic spirits who are summoned as servants need magic energy to be able to manifest in life, and the supply of magic can be obtained from the master who summoned them. There is another way to deal with a low mana supply, but that method is rather dangerous because it uses up the magical energy of the humans around like they are a battery, and if it runs out then in other words it has died so the hero's spirit needs to find a replacement.
< That's right, apart from the mission objective you need to protect Princess Libertia from all threats so that the host's existence is not distorted, does the host understand? >
"You don't need to emphasize it, I understand thoroughly what I need to do"
< Then, host please prepare immediately >
Hikaru nodded and went to change into the clothes he first got when he was Gogito. Once ready, he went into the forest to minimize people knowing what was happening.
A magic circle then slowly engraved itself under Hikaru's feet then released rainbow energy which seeped out and created a small area around Hikaru with the intention of moving himself and not carrying other objects.
When the magic circle had covered Hikaru within the teleportation path, then the light slowly lifted and exploded to create a rainbow pillar that penetrated the earth's atmosphere and simultaneously created a unique and strange phenomenon for humanity.
The process only lasted for a few seconds before finally disappearing, people didn't have time to record the incident because it passed very quickly except for a few videos and pictures that were captured accidentally.
And now, the place where Hikaru was was gone and nothing remained.
On the other hand, Hikaru was transported using a magic circle through a space that penetrated everything at an unimaginable speed, he crossed the universe in the blink of an eye until finally he saw light right at the end of the road.
Using his flying ability, Hikaru increased his speed and finally arrived at the edge of the light that now blinded his senses of sight.
Hikaru woke up in an empty space all white with no ends, no corners, or even no plain. He seemed to be floating in this place even though in reality Hikaru felt his feet stepping on a rather rough and soft plain like he was on grass.
The light slowly faded and shattered like glass showing him a view of the forest with a woman in front of him.
The woman is exactly the same as the one on the cover of the manhwa comic from When the Villainess is in Love.
Beautiful sparkling white gold hair, has purple eye color and gives off a mysterious vibe with her beautiful face and pearly white skin. Not to mention that the dress she was wearing really exposed the curves of a model of the appropriate height, if this woman were on earth. So he could become a consecutive champion in a global beauty competition, even Hikaru was amazed by the extraordinary beauty of the woman in front of him.
But his rational mind immediately took over and many sentences appeared in his head and were repeated at an abnormal speed making Hikaru say those words.
"Are you my master?"
Hikaru black eyes met bright purple eyes like diamonds and there was an intense stare before the woman gasped as if she had woken up from her reverie and looked at Hikaru face with a faint red blush on both cheeks.
The wind blew gently as many tree leaves flew before falling to the ground as Hikaru and the woman began their first meeting which changed everything.
...
Currently, in a world that is very different from earth where technological progress is not developing. Kingdoms and empires still exist where the rights and authority of citizens are under the authority of a king and queen.
In an empire or more precisely, in the residence of the Vance royal family. There was a woman who was truly very beautiful, her name was Libertia Vance.
She is a beautiful woman like an angel but has the heart of a devil, she is the definition of a rose that has thorns on its stem.
Libertia is now sitting in a chair while looking at a lot of paper with pictures and full of writing that no one knows, the writing is completely foreign because it is the language of South Korea.
And how does Libertia know the language? The answer lies within her.
Why did the figure of Libertia, who was known to be very cold and cruel, suddenly change 180 degrees as if she were a new figure? That's because the current Libertia is not the original Libertia.
Basically, Libertia is a female fan figure who dies and finds out that she lives as her favorite character, namely Princess Libertia Vance. And the world she now lives in is none other than the world of the novel he read entitled "When the Villainess is in Love" where Libertia is the antagonist.
Libertia in the original novel likes to seduce men and bully the innocent and good protagonist. She ends tragically at the end of the story where Libertia dies in a cold and damp prison cell with a disease that continues to torment her all the time.
Apart from that, the other male characters also had a tragic fate, where two of them died while the other one had to lose his honor and dignity. And all of that was just to make the protagonist named Ariel stand out and give her a happy ending with her love, a crown prince named Lavrov.
After living as Libertia, she knew that the reason she experienced events like this was because of the wishes of the real Princess Libertia. Because the real Princess Libertia had a fatal disease that attacked the soul, her soul summoned the soul of the female fan to replace herself as Princess Libertia Vance.
The real Princess Libertia explained to the fan figure that she would become a new herself, therefore the real Princess Libertia told her fans to survive for one year.
This is because the real Princess of Libertia has left a hundred pieces of memory about herself and requires fans to remember them three times a day with the consequence of vomiting blood.
The fan will not experience feelings of pain because the disease is in the soul of the original Princess Libertia, but it is still due to the soul transfer process. The disease is still in Princess Libertia body but not in the fan soul.
The real Princess Libertia said that the disease would disappear after the fan soul and Princess Libertia body were completely fused. And because of that she asked the fan to hold him for one year.
Because she has become Princess Libertia Vance, her identity is now Libertia itself.
She felt happy with the opportunity given by her beloved "Big Sister" Libertia to be able to live life as her graceful and elegant figure.
Libertia is currently making some kind of plan so that she can escape the tragic ending that awaits at the end of the story if she continues to act like Libertia.
She had accepted the truth about himself and what had happened. Because she doesn't want to die a second time, Libertia wants to be free and wants nothing more to do with protagonist Ariel and Crown Prince Lavrov.
Libertia doesn't want anything to do with them at all, not one bit! If not, her life will be messed up by the Crown Prince who is too possessive of Ariel!
Before she wants to gain freedom and get away from the plot of this novel, Libertia plans to meet every side and supporting character that she really likes!
And there are several people targeted! For example, Sir Eugene De Volton, he fell in love with Ariel and became a spy for the real Princess of Libertia, but died after falling into the Crown Prince trap.
Second is Duke Cane De Eirick, the same as Eugene. Cane falls in love with protagonist Ariel but loses an arm and his dignity to the Crown Prince himself.
Then third is Harace who is the head of the information guild, and the same as the two just now. Harace also fell in love with the protagonist but unfortunately he had to die just to save Ariel's life.
Apart from that, there are also several other characters such as Mrs. Ivien who is Ariel true friend, where Ivien sacrificed everything she had for her friend. And the character who was saved by Ariel but died for her sake, is Jane the lady-in-waiting.
Then there is the final victim who according to Libertia is equivalent to the final boss in the story, his name is Daniel. He is a mysterious figure who lost his best friend, Harace.
All of this was just for character development and plot for Ariel and Crown Prince Lavrov, how could Libertia not be angry after finding out all that? That's complete nonsense!
It turns out what many people say is true, love can really make people blind.
Because Libertia is now alive in this story, she was before she left later. She aims to change the storyline slightly so that the side and supporting characters that Libertia mentioned earlier don't suffer tragic endings.
So after spending some time alone in her room, Libertia managed to come up with a perfect scheme that she thought would really work!
Libertia tidied it all up and kept it so that no one would know and intended to carry out her plan, but because she had time. Finally, Libertia decided to take the day to get used to it and explore a little about her beloved sister life! That is the real Princess Libertia!
Libertia went to the library then walked and saw every corner of the library which was really beautiful in terms of interior, layout and furniture!
While still busy looking around, Libertia found a book that caught her attention. From the appearance of the cover, it's a bit boring, but the title of the book is in Korean which makes Libertia confused, how can this book be in this library?
"This book..."
And what's more, the words used in this world are completely different from the original world, so it's impossible for a book from earth to exist here unless the author really inserted a book like that? Impossible, because how could there be a writer who would write a story in too much detail because that would only increase the number of words used and make readers bored of reading one paragraph alongside an explanation of a table.
Take that as an example.
Libertia rubbed the dusty cover of the book and decided to take a look, she opened the book and found nothing but a blank page. Libertia flipped through the book but found little writing except blank pages, feeling like she was making no progress and wanted to return the book.
"I think this is just wasting a time, cough!" Libertia accidentally got the first memories of the newly born Princess Libertia, and it made her vomit a mouthful of blood. Luckily the blood didn't fall on his clothes but rather the book he was holding, even though a feeling of panic enveloped Libertia.
"Ah! I messed it up! Sis Libertia book?!"
She tried to remain calm and planned to return the book and pretend not to touch it.
"Okay, let's just pretend this never happened" She said, but it was as if what just happened was a miracle.
The book, which was initially just a blank page, slowly absorbed Libertia blood and began to show Korean sentences that Libertia could read.
Spending about five minutes more, Libertia understood the general outline of this book. Basically the mysterious book he found in the library was a magic book from another world, the book had no trace of the author and only showed how to summon a servant.
Where the summoner will form a master and servant contract to the person who receives the summons.
In the book it is explained that this summoning can only be used once and will summon a very strong and loyal figure, but to be able to summon this figure.
The summoner must first look for a rare and unique crystal that only appears once in an uncountable period of time. The shape of the crystal is like a star with rainbow colors, where there are only three crystals, and the crystal is named Saint Quartz.
Saint Quartz can only be found under one condition, namely luck because the appearance of the crystal is very random.
But luck seems to be on Libertia side, in the book there is a description of the location of three Saint Quartz which appears to have been collected by the author of the book.
It is located in an old hut in the middle of the forest, the forest can only be entered by special people who can read this book, in other words, only someone from the earth can enter the forest.
Because the forest where the hut is located has been installed with limited terrain which will automatically make foreigners who enter the forest get lost before finally being led out of the forest in the hope of providing a deterrent effect.
In the book it is written that to be able to enter the forest, a person needs to enter a special path that will lead him to a secret door. And the way to open the door is by entering the passcode that the author has created, the code consists of six digit numbers.
Because she was very curious, Libertia decided to look for Saint Quartz and summoned the servant figure described in the book. And coincidentally, this forest is close to the empire and is the forest that divides the two continents.
Libertia immediately left quietly on the grounds that she just wanted to go for a walk so as not to be suspected by anyone, including her servants.
Spending almost half a day journey, Libertia arrived at her destination, which was a giant forest that formed the border with the southern continent.
"So this is the forest in question? I didn't know that there was a forest like this because the novel never mentioned this at all" She muttered.
For your information, currently Libertia is disguising herself as an ordinary citizen and wearing normal clothes while covering herself with a robe.
Taking a deep breath, Libertia finally walked into the forest and followed the instructions as written in the book. She walked and followed every dark path which in an instant led her to a modern iron door with a modern-day padlock that could only be opened with a number code.
Then she pressed each number and formed a code combination according to the code in the book.
177013
After finishing entering the code, the door opened automatically and showed the way to a very beautiful small lake.
And on the edge of the lake there is a simple wooden bridge and an old hut that looks almost destroyed due to being too old, apart from that the hut is also filled with vines.
"This looks like an old hut from a horror story, but I have to! To call a servant and satisfy my curiosity!"
Libertia took courage and opened the door of the hut which was immediately destroyed after being touched. Inside there was not much furniture except a table, cupboard and bed. She see the room carefully and saw a beam of rainbow light coming out of the rainbow, opening the cupboard. Libertia found three Saint Quartz shining very beautifully on a box.
Libertia was stunned by the beauty of Saint Quartz and intended to keep it as a collection or sell it to get a lot of money for her plan to live freely.
But all that immediately disappeared after Libertia remembered her original goal of looking for Saint Quartz, she sighed and took the three rainbow colored crystals before placing them outside.
Now he was confused because he didn't know how to summon a servant.
Should he create a magic circle? Or did he have to perform some kind of ritual?
The book does not explain further about the summoning of servants except for the image of Saint Quartz which is placed in a place that looks like an altar.
Is this a puzzle? Yep! This is indeed true!
Libertia sighed because she was unable to solve the answer to the puzzle left by the author and leaned her hand on a blackboard before accidentally pushing the board, activating something.
From the lake, an altar suddenly emerged dramatically as water flowed down from the altar which was also connected to an old wooden bridge.
"Wow... I guess I'm like a character who accidentally solves a mystery due to luck"
Libertia then walked towards the altar and saw three pairs of spots that exactly matched the shape of Saint Quartz.
"Should I include all three Saint Quartz like in the book?" Libertia shook her head before deciding to place the three Saint Quartz on the altar.
Instantly the altar immediately glowed and created a magic circle before several rainbow balls came out of the magic circle and spun at high speed, electric sparks were seen radiating out while the summoning was taking place.
After that, three pairs of rings of light formed after the rainbow balls merged before they all merged into one ball of light in the center of the altar, the ball glowed brighter and brighter before exploding into a pillar before fading away.
"Did it work?" Libertia asked herself as smoke covered her entire view before the shadowy figure of a person stood on the altar.
All the smoke immediately disappeared and Libertia saw the figure of the servant she had managed to summon.
The figure was male with long spiky black hair that was raised upwards with three bangs at the front, while he was wearing a tight orange t-shirt that emphasized his very hard and large body muscles. Apart from that, he also wears a black vest that is quite long, reaching below his waist with yellow pads, and there are also yellow ball-shaped earrings hanging from both of his earlobes. On his hands he is seen wearing black gloves with a long dark blue cloth used as a belt to tie his long black trousers, and finally he is wearing black martial arts shoes with dark blue ribbons.
Overall that figure was truly handsome in Libertia eyes, not to mention the firm facial expression with a gentle smile that made her heart flutter!
One of the reasons why Libertia likes the novel "When the Villainess is in Love" is because of her own weakness for handsome and manly men, and all these criteria are in the figure in front of her.
Libertia will give a perfect score as a judge if this is a beauty contest, and will give a bonus if she is allowed to touch the torn bread in front of her.
Libertia felt like she would have a nosebleed if she looked at those abdominal muscles for too long before she finally realized that the figure in front of her was looking at her and made Libertia embarrassed as a red blush appeared on her cheeks.
But she finally woke up when she heard a very strange voice because it was like hearing two people talking to each other at the same time.
"Are you my master?"
