El has always been pretty and lucky. Whether it was luck during games in the night market, casually picking a project from his father's pile, or winning raffles. Even his day-to-day activities always seem to work in his favor. As long as it involved luck, he would win, and as long as it involved innocent charm, he would always be the first choice.

That's why, even when his mother passed away and his father married his stepmother, even though he could see the malice in his stepfamily's eyes, he firmly believed in his luck. Even if not now, eventually, his good days will definitely come!

Ezra opened his eyes on a luxurious king-size bed, wrapped in a soft, cream-colored blanket. His cream colored ceiling had an exquisite pattern in gold. A little further down, a gold chandelier hung, spotless and luxurious.

He sat up in a daze and saw what should have been antique sofas in his original world.

This time, Rou was much calmer. He spoke in a calm voice, trying to sound reliable.

{Hello, host. I am Rou, your Resist Fate System. You have died and transmigrated into the novel, The Bloody Ball.

You are currently the Youngest Son of Duke Candice, Atticus Candice.}

...

Atticus was elegantly sipping tea on the balcony, overseeing the garden filled with white and yellow lilies, in which there were currently two figures very closely stuck together lovingly.

It was a garden representing his father, Jake Candice's love for his mother, Rosemary Candice. Standing in middle of his mother's favorite flowers, were the two figures, his parents who are currently spreading PDA like crazy, as though it's the only purpose in their lives.

Sighing vehemently, Atticus turned to look towards the readers to introduce himself, "Hello, everyone. My name is Atticus Candice, previously Ezra. It seems that I have died and transmigrated into a bloody novel famously filled with gore. Not only that, I also have the memories of the previous owner of my body. So, my personality is a little introverted and I really envy my parents' love life. I'm honestly so fed up with their romance that I want to have my own husband already and get out of this house so that I can spread dog food instead."

He coughed slightly to change the mode, "Now, to get to the point. We're currently in the Bloody Ball, a BL Cinderella story about this person named El, full name Ellis Clio. He is the first son of a declining merchant family. They're commoners with a considerable amount of wealth. It's a common yet unfortunate story about how the father had no talent for business thus he was married to a talented wife. He became jealous of his wife and later married his fallen noble mistress once his wife died. Now the new wife and her own two step siblings bully the previous wife's only son. All until they meet their long overdue demise once that very son marries the prince. The commoner to prince consort style story.

Of course, realistically there are a lot of problem with this ending. But that's not the point right now.

My missions are:

Main Task: Prevent Carnage (2000 points)

Secondary Task: Resist Fate (1000 points)

Hidden Task 1: ... (500 points)

Hidden Task 2: ... (500 points)

It really has nothing to do with our Cinderella. So, I was thinking—"

{Host, who are you talking to?}

Atticus snapped out of his trance, a force of habit. There were many occasions when he would speak about the events in order to sort out his own thoughts.
