After calming down both of them, I escorted Aria to the ball officially. Even though it was supposed to be an annual party. The number of guests present were less than last year's ball party.

Maybe the reputation of Duke Helstein is reduced due to some political problems. Well there is still half an hour for the ball to officially begin as the Duchess has yet to enter her ball. Well the number of people entering did increase.

Aria, who is still holding onto my left arm, is shaking as if it was her first ball party ever. Well it could be true as according to the novel, her parents and siblings didn't accept her as she is a bastard child.

" Well why don't you eat something before the ball starts? I have something to do so"

" Yes? Yes! It's fine. I will be fine"

' She doesn't look fine to me. But I still have to take a rest to gather all my thoughts.'

I signal to Sky to bring something to drink and I found myself a room to relax a little bit. I layed down on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

' So I'm in the world of the novel, not only that but as a background villain of Aria's backstory arc and the gods are saying to fix this huge mess. But the novel was the story of a future generation and mostly is set in the Frontica Continent. How am I supposed to save the Almanac Continent?'

" Ah this is a headache"

" My lord, do you need me to bring some medicine for your headache."

" Nah, I will be fine, just call me before 5 minutes the ball starts. I need some time alone".

" Yes my lord."

' Ah, let's organize my memories first.'

" So currently I'm in the dukedom of Helstein of the kingdom of Roadyma as A minor villain Hunter Lawson Helstein in the Continent of Almanac. Cool, that part is clear."

" Now the second part is, according to the novel's background setting, The Continent of Almanac is being overrun by the Demon army led by the Demon Prince."

" Third, The cause of such a major downfall of the whole continent was due to the Kingdom of Roadyma. Which will face Civil war in next 8 years, then a year of war against the Empire and then The emergence of Demon prince from the Grand duchy of North. It took three years for him to conquer the whole continent as two major forces of the continent of Almanac were at war with each other."

" The fourth thing is, it was a background story of the novel so I don't know much information about it. The novel was more of Revenge, Romance, Drama type with a little bit of action here and there."

"The game doesn't help me too much, it was set after a couple of centuries of the story. Wait, the games. Even if the actual story isn't much of a help to my current predicament, didn't the principal remain the same throughout the novel. People having different skills in games or similar to Blessings of gods in the novel setting. Class selection of the game was replaced by "The path in the novel.""

" Okay this just gave me some Hope. Alright let's remember the game mechanics one by one."

"Skills or Blessings are supernatural powers, human beings are born with or either acquire them due to excessive emotions. One more way to learn skills is if you are placed in dangerous situations. Well In Game "Dungeon Raiders" players were given random cards and you have to choose one card in each level up. It could be bad or good depending on your class".

"For example for a Melee class player, a magic attack skill will be useless as they have low mana points, players consider it lucky if they acquire a skill according to their class".

"Class or The paths are the skill tree, players are given to decide. Whether they want a Melee build Character or Magic build. The game had over 100+ different paths or classes. But the thing was, "Either you have to pay to select a certain class or let luck decide your party members."

"Party members consist of five members where Experience points are shared. One member is controlled by player itself and other four members were controlled by Ai"

" Even though the game had such a good story and mechanics, the AI sucks big time as your party members are decided by luck as it could select four healers as you yourself is a healer and you have to play the whole Game with these Party members and AI itself was bad."

Sky Knocks the door to inform me

"It's time my lord."

" Coming."

~Sigh

'Over thinking won't do good. Let's take things easy. I still have some time."

I slapped both cheeks suddenly causing Sky to panic for little bit.

" Um.um…. m-My L-Lord why did you "

~Shaking

"It's nothing Sky. Let's go, I can do this
