The Protagonist of the Mercenary King

Jakarta.

Wijaya family.

Looking around the unfamiliar room, the handsome young man thought he was hallucinating.

Then, he sensed a memory that didn't belong to him.

Feeling uncomfortable in his head, the handsome young man frowned.

After the memory fusion was completed, the handsome young man recovered his indifferent expression.

Since he was a transmigrator, apart from memory fusion, he also awakened the system.

The system is the Protagonist Support System.

The young man's name is Adhi Lesmana.

The system told Adhi the things he needed to know.

Not being a protagonist or a villain, Adhi is a supporting character.

'Supporting character? Haha. Interesting.'

If Adhi doesn't want to die, then Adhi has to help the Protagonist.

Why should Adhi help the Protagonist?

Because, in a world that consists of a combination of several novels, Adhi is not the only transmigrator.

The other Transmigrator is the Villain.

In this world, Villains usually change plots to earn Villain points.

If the Villain succeeds in changing the plot, Adhi's health will also decrease.

This is what the system tells Adhi.

'Since I'll be dealing with the Villains and also a transmigrator, is there a starter pack?'

Adhi asked his heart to the system.

[No, the system only has a mall, everything in the mall can be exchanged for support points.]

'Oh, then how can I get support points?'

[Support points can be obtained if the host successfully prevents the Villain from changing the plot.]

'I understand.'

After merging with the body's former owner's memories, Adhi finds out who the Protagonist and Villain are.

Adhi is now at the heroine's birthday party. The former owner of the body and the heroine attend the same high school, and happen to be classmates before graduation.

Since the Villain had not made his move, Adhi then checked his attribute panel.

Host: Adhi Lesmana

Strength: 120

Charm: 400

Health: 110

Luck: 100

(The average value for a normal adult male is 100)

Supporting Points: 0

Skills: None

How come strength exceeds ordinary people?

Because the former owner of the body is diligent in exercising, thus, strength and health are above normal men.

As a supporting character, it's easy to get a good impression of the Protagonist.

Because this Protagonist has already met the Villain. Then every movement of the Protagonist will not escape the eyes of the Villain.

In order not to arouse the Villain's suspicion, Adhi will not start a chat with the Protagonist.

Because Adhi doesn't know the Protagonist's identity yet, Adhi calls one of his bodyguards to investigate the Protagonist.

Currently, a slightly handsome young man was playing the piano.

Being one of the most beautiful women in Jakarta, of course Karina has no shortage of suitors, most men know that Karina's hobby is playing the piano.

Many youths think that by learning the piano and showing off their piano skills, they can attract Karina's attention.

Their idea wasn't wrong, the problem was that their abilities weren't enough to attract Karina's attention.

After seeing and listening to the piano skills of a group of young men who had intentions towards his wife, Malik only sneered in his heart.

'Humph. A bunch of rookies.'

'Because my wife always looks down on me, I think I can change her impression of me a bit.'

They were already married, Karina's father forced Karina to marry Malik.

Malik is the Protagonist, king of mercenaries.

In short, Malik has a lot of skills.

Let alone a group of rookies, famous pianists only get "not bad" ratings from her.

Malik is very confident in his piano skills.

Imagining what expression his icy wife would make, Malik couldn't wait to show off his skills.

Malik had often attended big events, came to banquets with a modest appearance, was looked down upon by people, they thought he couldn't afford classy clothes, until he finally brought out a generous gift.

Malik really liked the change in their expressions, he found it very entertaining.

Seeing the young master targeting him, Malik felt irritated.

Malik once met the young master at a bar, Malik saw a beautiful woman who was being bullied by a man.

When Malik was going to help the woman, this young master came towards the woman, said a few words to the man.

Then, the man released the beautiful woman.

Malik just felt it was a coincidence.

Initially Malik prepared a generous gift for Karina, the prize he got through an overseas auction.

When Malik asked Karina to open the gifts, Karina was stopped by the young master. Saying that Malik's appearance looks like that of a beggar, what kind of gift can a beggar afford?

Karina knows that Malik doesn't have a job, and doesn't have proper clothes.

Stubborn Protagonist

Karina thought that what young master Haris said made a lot of sense.

Karina gave the gift to the maid, then the maid put it in the pile of gifts.

Malik thinks the reason he was targeted by the young master is because the young master is also one of Karina's admirers, maybe the young master knows that he is Karina's husband.

Then, Malik approached the young master and said: "Since you are also one of Karina's admirers, let's compare piano skills, do you dare?"

"Did I hear wrong? The beggar challenged young master Haris?"

"You heard me right, he actually dared to challenge young master Haris."

"Why did he challenge young master Haris?"

"Is that young man also one of Karina's admirers?"

"Does the young man have a mental disorder?"

"With an outfit that doesn't reach 400 thousand, he wants to compete with young master Haris. Does this young man have the money to practice the piano?"

"We young masters have learned to play the piano from a young age, although I stopped playing when I was in high school. Compared to this young man who has never touched the piano, I'm sure I can beat him."

"Why have to compete, there is no way this young man can win."

"Since this young man dares to compete with young master Haris, I think he has the ability."

"With the outfit he's wearing, I wonder how this young man got here?"

"Makes sense. However, let's watch the show first."

Hearing the voices of people who mocked him, Malik just smiled.

'Of course I'm confident in my abilities, as for Haris? Who is 24 or 25 years old? Even if he has the skills of a famous pianist, so what?'

Because Haris didn't accept the challenge, just looked at him with a smile, Malik thought Haris didn't dare.

"Why, dare not? Are you young master Haris lower than me a beggar?"

'I have to admit, pretending to be forced is quite fun. Since you are so eager to lose your lucky points, I will not be polite.'

Haris said in his heart.

"Since you are so confident, then let's compare."

Hearing Haris agree to the challenge, Malik couldn't help but smile.

Malik thought that he was sure to win.

Malik was afraid that Haris would take his words back.

When Malik wanted to invite Haris to start, his cell phone rang.

Malik thinks the person calling him is an acquaintance, Malik immediately receives a phone call.

"Wolf."

When Malik was still active as a mercenary, Malik was usually called a wolf.

"Who?"

Getting no answer, Malik looks at his cell phone, sees that the number is apparently unknown.

Since Malik didn't know this person, it meant that this person only had information about him.

"I suggest you first show your piano skills, naturally Haris accepts a challenge from you, because his piano skills are better than yours."

"Look at his expression, it's clear Haris is underestimating you."

"Remember, when you asked Karina to open your gift, Haris stopped her not only to insult you, Haris knew your gift was very unusual. His goal was to prevent Karina from having a good impression of you."

Then Adhi ended the call.

You can make sure the person calling is in the same place.

Why choose over the phone?

Obviously, this person doesn't want to reveal his identity, as for his purpose in warning me? Maybe this person has a complaint against Haris.

Malik is analyzing.

Malik doesn't believe Haris' piano skills are any better than his. However, malik remembers the scene when giving gifts, plus the warning just now.

After thinking for a while, Malik made up his mind.

'Didn't I always manage to solve the problems I faced.'

As the Protagonist, Malik is used to getting into trouble, let alone comparing skills.

Doesn't he always win and slap the faces of people who underestimate him.

Malik regains his confidence as the Protagonist.

"Then you first!"

Hearing Malik's words, Haris smiled.

'As expected of the Protagonist, unfortunately you met me.'

Haris walked towards where the piano was.

"I am very curious about young master Haris' piano skills."

"Young master Haris is very handsome."

Seeing Malik not listening to his warning, Adhi felt a little annoyed.

Adhi can also understand the protagonist's thoughts. Which protagonist isn't stubborn?

When Haris's fingers pressed the keys on the piano board, the sound produced by the piano began to be heard.

Haris plays his own musical compositions.

The listeners suddenly felt emotions of joy, sadness, and anger.

With the piano skills obtained from the system, Haris managed to create extraordinary musical compositions.

Malik intends to admit defeat

Adhi knows that Haris' piano skills are obtained from the system.

'As expected of the system.' Adi praised.

Due to the system, something that required talent and hard work could be owned in just a few minutes.

Seeing Haris' piano skills, Malik's self-confidence took a hit.

Malik realizes that he has been counted by Haris.

Malik is not a person who is unable to admit defeat.

Malik intends to admit defeat.

Rings... Rings...

His cell phone rang again.

Seeing that it was this number that alerted him, Malik answered immediately.

"Do you want to laugh at me?" Malik said.

"I already guessed that you won't listen to my warning, you want to admit defeat right?"

"How do you know?" Malik was surprised.

"Now, you have to listen to me. After Haris' show is over, you have to show your skills."

"You ask why? You can think about it yourself. It seems you forgot your aim."

Malik finally remembered his goal.

"Okay, I will listen to you."

Since Malik had listened to his advice, Adhi ended the call.

Malik's goal is to change Karina's impression of him.

After Haris' performance was over, the audience gave a standing ovation.

It can be seen that some people are still cleaning their tears.

Haris returned to the previous place.

Haris then saw Malik, Haris waited for Malik to admit defeat.

"Nice skill."

'Here it is, The words I've been waiting for.' Harris thought.

"Now it's my turn."

Hearing Malik's words, Haris was stunned.

After a few seconds, Haris returned to his indifferent expression.

Haris felt he was being played by Malik, he saw Malik smiling while looking at him.

'What happened? Isn't this Malik going to admit defeat? Aren't you capable of accepting defeat?'

Haris recalled his plan.

After seeing Haris' piano skills, Malik will not have the courage to show off his piano skills, because Malik knows that he has already lost.

Imagine, what would the people who watched the show think?

Since Malik didn't dare to show his skills, they would taunt Malik.

Karina's impression of Malik will get worse.

'Who helped Malik, and when?' Harris thought.

Knowing that he had been counted on by Haris, Malik felt uneasy.

Seeing Haris' dumbfounded expression, Malik was satisfied.

Then he rushed to the direction where the piano was.

"Why is that young man heading to the piano place?"

"Why doesn't he admit defeat?"

"It's not too late to mock him, let's see his skills."

When Malik played the piano, the listeners suddenly felt a sad feeling.

Then, they remembered the sad moments they had experienced.

The atmosphere in the room has undergone a change.

Malik's skills are good, unfortunately he met a criminal who has a system.

After the piano performance was over, they gave a standing ovation, not inferior to that received by Haris.

Some of the women are still shedding tears.

"I already thought this young man had the ability. But I didn't expect his ability to be so extraordinary."

"Isn't this young man's ability better than that of a famous pianist?"

Seeing the changing expressions on everyone's faces, Malik just smiled.

This is what Malik was waiting for, 'this feeling is so good.'

Malik recalled his goal.

'How is my wife's expression? Has his impression of me changed?'

Initially, Karina was surprised by Haris' skills.

Karina is very impressed with Malik's skills.

According to him, Malik's skills are far above his piano skills.

Karina's piano skill is already close to that of famous pianist, Karina knows how hard it is to reach her current skill.

Her bad impression of Malik has turned to curiosity.

Karina Wijaya, 24 years old, 168 cm tall. Works as CEO of a cosmetic company.

Wearing an off shoulder dress, french twist hairstyle. Karina gives the impression of a classic and elegant beauty.

With her current performance, Karina will get a score of 98.

After Malik's show, Haris admits defeat.

Because the plan had failed, according to Haris who won and who lost was no longer important.

These people would not be able to judge whose abilities were better.

Can beginners be the judges in the masters' fight?

If Malik loses, they will not change their impression of Malik either.

'Since the plan has failed, I have to think of a next plan.'

Of course Haris' priority is to earn Villain points.

'After this event, the Protagonist will surely strike back, I must ask my family for support.'
