Chapter 115 Change the PlotÂ
Thinking about it that way, Toby felt that he really was pretty awful.Â
Any normal person would hate a personality like his.Â
Maya, however, did not feel much about it.Â
His true nature had always been that of a vicious, classless man.Â
She had known that a long time ago.Â
If this were a comic…Â
Maya suddenly grew curious and softly called out in her mind to the presence that had not appeared in a long time.Â
“System?”Â
There was no response.Â
But she knew it was there.Â
“What role does Toby have in the comic?”Â
She asked silently.Â
After a brief pause, a mechanical voice sounded deep in her consciousness.Â
“Vicious villain.”Â
Just as expected.Â
The system had told her a long time ago that her whole family were villains.Â
“Then can you tell me the full plot?”Â
“The male and female leads happily end up together. The troublesome villains all disappear, and they live happily ever after.”Â
Maya tightened her fingers.Â
“Disappear?”Â
“You can understand it as being eliminated.”Â
Maya lowered her head and pinched at her own fingers. “Can your script be changed?”Â
“Do you want to change it?” the system asked back.Â
Maya nodded.Â
87Â
The system said, “But I don’t think they matter. You only need to focus on yourself. We are the protagonists.Â

Protagonists do not need to care about other people. Everyone who dies, disappears, or leaves is only one step on your path to growth.”Â
Maya found that statement interesting.Â
Countless bonds around her, family members, close friends, all disappearing in the end, only to pave a road toward success?Â
That would make the protagonist pretty miserable.Â
“If I’m the protagonist, then why can’t the people around me be the good guys?”Â
“Because the original script was written that way. Their identities are fixed. The only fate you changed was your own. The fate of those around you was already decided.”Â
Unless Maya interfered.Â
After all, in the original orderly script, she was the only part that had gone wrong.Â
“I thought disasters were supposed to live forever…” she muttered.Â
So that was not how it worked.Â
Maya continued probing. “Then what was his original ending? Can you tell me?”Â
The system kept its mouth tightly shut. Maya rolled around and threw a fit in her mind, pestering it for quite a while before it finally said, “A villain’s ending is never much different. None of them die well. None of them got a good ending.”Â
Maya stayed silent for a long time.Â
No good end.Â
A miserable death.Â
That was way too tragic.Â
“Toby.” Maya, still in his arms, suddenly tugged at the front of his shirt.Â
Toby made a questioning sound. “What now?”Â
She really talked a lot.Â
“If you were going to die someday, would you be scared?”Â
“Die?”Â
He only took it as childish nonsense. He looked down at her, his tone so calm it sounded like they were discussing something unrelated to him.Â
“Then I’d die.”Â
From beginning to end, he was strangely peaceful about it.Â

Maya suddenly clenched his sleeve tightly.Â
How did this villain have absolutely no survival instinct?Â
FrintedÂ
Maya could not help saying, “But if you die, anyone could come bully me. I’d be the most pitiful kid in the world.”Â
Toby instinctively tightened his arms and held her a little closer. Without blinking, he watched the worried look on her face.Â
He felt a little worried too. “That’s true. You’re dumb as hell, and you don’t hold grudges either. If I died, you’d definitely get bullied later.”Â
Toby’s desire to stay alive really was not very strong.Â
There was nothing he wanted that he could not get.Â
Was there anything he felt attached to? Not really.Â
That was how he had been raised.Â
If you enjoyed something, you had to pay something in return. People died every day in this world.Â
Whatever ending someone got was their own fault.Â
But if he really had to die…Â
He looked down at the fluffy head in his arms.Â
It seemed like… he would still feel a little reluctant.Â
Maya wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in the hollow of his shoulder. Her voice was low but serious.Â
“I know that in your eyes, I’m a useless little coward.”Â
To be fair, Toby was pretty accurate when it came to judging people.Â
Maya knew it herself too.Â
Whenever something happened, her first instinct was always to avoid it.Â
That had been true in her last life. It was still true in this life.Â
When facing danger, she played dumb. When facing hard problems, she took the long way around. When facing relationships where she might get hurt, she kept a certain distance.Â
She always lacked the courage to face difficulties head-on.Â
But…Â
“You absolutely can’t quietly die somewhere I don’t know about.” She tightened her arms and hung ontoÂ

Chapter 115 Change the PlotÂ
Toby like a koala. “I’ll change. I’ll work hard too.”Â
The system originally wanted to remind her not to recklessly alter the plot.Â
After all, aside from her, none of the other characters mattered.Â
But after observing for so long, it had realized something too.Â
The new host it had chosen, if described nicely, was laid-back.Â
If described honestly, she was a slacker.Â
FinishedÂ
She lacked any drive to move forward, drifted wherever life took her, lay down halfway when she got tired, and took a nap whenever she got sleepy.Â
