God of Systems: Maker of Heroes and Villains

Keith walked towards the mansion while Miya hopped around beside him with her hands filled with snacks and skewered meat.

As they walked towards the door, it opened. Inside, there were maids standing on both sides to welcome the two of them and Miya panicked.

She stuffed all the food that was in her hands into Keith's pocket before she wiped all the oil and spices that was around her mouth. She still looked messy but more than that, she was acting way to cutely.

Keith stared at her and glanced at his pocket that was filled with snacks and skewered meat now.

'It's great that she's acting this freely but I should teach her some manners first.' he thought on the inside but outside, the smile on his face didn't seem to have any intention of going away.

A man wearing a tailcoat bowed as Keith got close and said, "Lady Melia is expecting your presence in her chambers, sir."

"Oh, okay." Keith said and looked at Miya, "Come, let's go meet Amelia's mother."

"Sir, she's expecting to meet you alone. You, her and lady Amelia." the butler said and Keith thought for a second before nodding.

He patted Miya's back and looked at the maid who was closest to him, "Can you take my daughter to Clara while I go meet Lady Melia?"

The maid didn't say anything and simply nodded before she extended her hand towards Miya, who looked up at Keith and when he gave her a nod of approval, she grabbed the maid's hand.

Keith silently watched the two of them leave and then focused his attention on the butler, "Shall we go now?"

"Of course, sir. Please follow me."

Instead of taking Keith directly to Melia's chambers, the butler gave him a tour of the mansion first. After almost two whole hours, he finally stopped in front of a door that Keith had passed by once already.

"Please head in sir. Lady Melia is waiting for you."

Keith let out a soft sigh and nodded before walking in. It was noble custom to show the guests their homes before they got to anything serious and this only happened the first time someone visited a noble household.

Once Keith walked in, he saw the mother and daughter pair sitting on the bed while they played cards. Just one glance and Keith could tell that it wasn't poker since the cards for poker were very different from the ones that the two women were currently playing with.

Keith remembered playing this game with his brother and sister in his younger days. They were the memories of the Keith who was no more, but they still felt like he had experienced it all himself.

With a sigh, Keith knocked on the door that was behind him and the two of them turned to look at him.

"Yeah we know you're here. Come and join us." Melia said cheerfully as she motioned him towards the bed.

Keith nodded and went ahead to join them.

"This game brings back memories." he said as he looked at the UNO equivalent cards in front of him, "But how in the hell do you guys even have fun with just two players?"

"Two is the bare minimum to be able to play this game, so why not?" Amelia said and then added, "Wanna join?"

Keith shook his head, "Nah, I'm way too nervous to be playing right now. It'll be better to finish the discussions that I was called her for and then we can play."

Hearing this, Amelia paused and felt her hands shake slightly. She turned to look at her mother and nodded.

Melia nodded back and focused her gaze on Keith, "You see Keith, my lovely daughter here isn't supposed to look the way she currently does. My ability allows me to change the appearance of two people at the same time.

Currently, one of them is Amelia and the other one is a secret." she said and winked at him before placing her hand on her daughter's shoulder.

"She wants you to see her real appearance first since she decided to stay true to herself or whatever thing she said to me. I don't really remember all that nonsense. Anyways ahem, she basically wants to embrace her real appearance and she wants you to be the first one to see her once that happens."

Keith nodded and looked at Amelia whose face was pretty red at this point due to the way her mother worded the situation.

With a slight smirk, Keith turned back to Melia and said, "It'll be my honor. Though, I don't really get why she'd want to do that when her current appearance easily turns everyone's heads towards her. Doesn't it also help with her awakened ability?"

Amelia blinked a few times and looked at Keith, realizing that she had completely forgotten about her awakened ability. She was way too focused on Keith to even give a damn about her own self.

Her ability worked great when someone felt attracted to her and if they didn't, then the effects would be greatly reduced.

She thought about it for a few seconds and shook her head, "It's fine. I'll still go through with my decision." she said and looked at her mother.

Keith felt like she was fucking up the synergy she had with her ability, but he didn't push her against her decisions. If that was what she wanted, then so be it.

"Okay then, I hope you're ready." Melia said as she got off the bed and stood up.

Amelia followed and stood in front of her mother while Keith silently watched the two of them.

The mother and daughter pair held hands and the changes began to appear almost instantly.

Amelia's height stayed the same, but most of her other features did change a lot. The length of her face got slightly smaller, her hair grew down until it touched the floor, her "flat as a board on two sides" body began to grow in the right places.

He silently watched as the changes took place and after almost five minutes, Melia let go of Amelia's hands and looked at her daughter dotingly, "See, you look like my younger self now. If only Havena didn't pour boiling hot water on you..."

Amelia gave her mother a sad smile before looking at Keith. She unbuttoned her shirt slightly and pulled down the sleeve on her left side, revealing a dark red scar that started from her near her shoulder and went down by ten centimeters.

"Ugly isn't it?" she asked, and immediately regretted asking the question. For the first time in her life, she felt afraid of hearing an answer.

'I wish I could turn back time right now....' she thought and watched Keith stare at her scar. While she never saw anyone stare at her scar as much as he did, she had also never experienced people look at her scar like it was something normal.

They had always given her a look of disgust.

Before her mind could process Keith's reaction to her question, he spoke.

"Well, it's just a scar. What's the big deal? Your father has so many damn scars and he looks fucking cool you know?" he said and shrugged.

He then pointed at the scar before continuing, "Treat it as something unique. Like come on, imagine. There's hundreds of people who come from noble backgrounds but how many of these have a scar on their arm? Probably just a handful and that is what makes you different."

'So it's not ugly?' She asked in her head, but her mouth seemed to have escaped the control of her mind, "I like you! No, I love you."

By the time she registered what she had just said, it was too late. Her face immediately turned bright red while Melia covered her mouth to suppress her chuckles.

Keith on the other hand, was absolutely speechless. He had a system screen in front of him the entire time and he had been reading the stuff that was going on in Amelia's head but this was unexpected for him too.

"Huh?" he said unintentionally, still pretty speechless from her sudden confession, "No wait, did I hear that right?"

Keith felt like crying since he absolutely hated being put in a tight spot and Amelia had done exactly that. Unfortunately for him, she had different thoughts in her head a she felt like she had dug a grave for herself.

And when she heard Keith's words, her bottled up feelings exploded. Explore new worlds at empire

"Yes you bastard!! I said I love you, okay? Just give me a response so I can go cry in peace, you goddamn jerk!"

'Wow... she's being a tsundere right? Nah, tsundere's don't really express their feelings. Ugh fk, I can't fucking think!'

Keith took a deep breath and nodded with a serious expression on his face, "I see... Alright, I need some time to think about this so I'll have to ask you to wait for a few days."

"Huh?" Amelia gave him a confused look before pointing at herself, "You said that you didn't like people who are flat right? I mean, I'm not flat anymore but I still can't beat Clara when it comes to... comes to... uh."

"I never said I didn't like them you know? I just said that I prefer a certain type. Personality comes first and I'm not praising you here. You're a bitch sometimes just like I am, but I do like your company a lot and I do care about you. So yeah, I need time to make a decision."

Amelia stared at him as she thought, 'He never said I'm attractive... I knew it... I shouldn't expect much.'

"And well, you're attractive in your own way." Keith added, 'I'm so glad I can read minds.'
