NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 4: Not Again!!
After some seconds of utter silence, the seventh class turned into a mess as if it was a slum market. Students cursed Veer as they conversed.
"I must be dreaming! Fuck! Why did she accept?"
"Even dreams would fear from someone like you."
"Why? Just why did she reject me and accept him?"
"Because he's way more handsome than you and you're also trash!"
"Fuck you!!"
"Bro really lost his mind seeing this, huh. He is now after young boys like me!"
Hearing the last sentence, the boys immediately made some distance from a single muscular young man. As for the young man, he was so angry he wanted to murder someone.
Similiar scenes were playing throughout school, as the news travelled at an insane rate. They all wondered if they were dreaming otherwise how was something like this possible?
This wasn't a drama where a popular girl would fall for a slob, right? They found it hard to believe, however the reality was in front of them.
Liliana Draven, the school Belle had actually accepted the proposal from a nobody. She even gave her hand in his.
Veer was in a similar situation as he looked at the beauty before him with a dumbfounded look. He couldn't even process the situation for a few seconds.
'W-What?'
His mind raced as he tried to think of the possible reason for this acceptance. He wasn't delusional enough to actually believe that someone like Lilliana would take him as boyfriend for no reason.
They didn't even knew each other.
Looking at his confused face, Liliana had an urge to pinch his cheeks but held herself back. She simply smiled lightly, "Is there any problem?"
'Get yourself together, bitch. It's not like you have never seen beautiful woman,' Veer stood up and composed himself.
Feeling the soft but cold hand of Liliana, he realised his situation and sighed. It was his choice so he needed to take responsibility. No matter what the reason Liliana had, she was his girlfriend now and he needed to treat her like that.
He smiled and said, "I was just surprised that you accepted someone like me."
Seeing their interaction, Elara cursed, "Feminine my ass!"
Then, she stepped forward and reached Veer in a matter of moment, surprising everyone. Somehow, they found it familiar and had a bad feeling about all of this.
Arriving near him, Elara looked at him for a moment and then dropped on one knee, proclaiming as she streched her hand, "V, I have loved you since I was little and want to spend the rest of my life with you. So, Would you like to marry me?"
Utter silence.
Students of Seventh Class, teachers and even the students who had come from other classes to watch the drama were stunned. Some straight up lost their consciousness as they couldn't handle the number of shocks in such a short time.
After a moment of silence, the room exploded into shouting and screaming.
"Don't hold me back! I'll kill him!"
"You're free to go, dumbass! You just don't have guts to go there!"
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
"....bro Awakened porn Aspect?"
"Just what did those two see in a trash like him?"
"Face and body. Or maybe something down there?"
"Forgot him, I'll kill this fucker first!"
"Yeah! I would get peace after killing him!"
"Hey! Hey! Don't come near me, I have an Aspect that can turn you all into femboy!"
While others were cursing Veer's luck, some... interesting things were happening at a certain corner.
As for the man who had everyone's attention, he was feeling lost and didn't know how to respond to Elara. If he accepted, wasn't he slapping Liliana's face indirectly?
But he also didn't want to reject her as he knew how much she cared and love him. He would be the dumbest person alive to actually not see her feelings.
Liliana saw his face and instantly understood what he was feeling. Sighing, she flickered her fingers as she thought, 'I am not letting you go, Hubby.'
As Veer was conflicted about his choice of words, he saw a red hologram before his eyes, covering his whole sight.
[Would you like to bind with Wife Doting System?]
[Time limit: 10 seconds!]
As he watched, the countdown began as the number decreased every second. His mind was already in a mess and this sudden notification brought even more headache.
However, he still maintained a cool head and hurriedly said, afraid that it would soon reach zero, "Yes, bind it."
[Ding! Assimilating the Wife Doting System....]
[Ding! Remnants of former system found. Using them as a base to make a proper system!]
[1%..]
[4%..]
.
.
[99%]
[100%... Assimilation Completed]
[Ding! Congratulations to Host for getting the Wife Doting System! Would you like a guide for the system?]
Veer didn't respond immediately and looked around, marvelling at the sight. It was if time was slowly moving around him, which made his surroundings seemed like they were paused.
'This is probably because I'm interacting with the system!' Veer came to a conclusion and asked, "Can I do this whenever I want?"
[Answering to Host's question. Yes, but it has it's risks, like overuse may result in collapse of Soul.]
Veer instantly threw aside the idea to use it in battles. He would only use it if it was necessary otherwise he wouldn't risk dying like that.
Still, now that he had time to think about the situation, he couldn't help but sigh. He really felt as if he had thrown an axe on his feet.
He loved Elara, and he knew about it. The only reason he even agreed to propose Liliana was because he expected her to reject him.
Although this would make Elara angry and hurt, he was ready to do everything to console her as the benefits were too good to ignore. He knew she would understand.
However, Liliana's acceptance threw everything out of window. Not only did he fail the reward, getting this new weird system but he also betrayed Elara.
Even though they weren't in a relationship, he knew he had betrayed her. To make things worse, she even proposed to him before everyone.
How was he supposed to salvage the situation? If he accepted then it would seem as if he was playing with Liliana, which might not only hurt her greatly but also bring retribution.
"I miss the Veer I was yesterday!"
