Bonded By Four Systems
systems
Ray rubbed his tired eyes as he walked out of the library. The street was empty, the world too quiet.
Ray ighor (MC)
(muttering)“Another all-nighter… ugh. What a waste of a life.”
He stepped onto the road, not noticing the blinding headlights.
The world tilted. A heavy force slammed into him. Then—darkness.
Ray ighor (MC)
“…Wh—where am I? What happened?”
Savior(villain saving system)
“Host confirmed. Life ended in your original world.”

“Correct. Cause of death: accident. Your soul has been chosen for reassignment.”
Ray ighor (MC)
“Chosen?! By who?!”

(teasing voice):
“By us, of course. We’re your systems. From now on, you belong to someone else… a villain.”
Ray ighor (MC)
“…A… villain?!”
Crown( Career system)
(firm, regal tone):“His name is Caelan Draven. Every world revolves around him. Your missions are tied to his survival, his redemption… and his heart.”
Ray ighor (MC)
(shaking):“This can’t be real…" This has to be a dream.”
Savior(villain saving system)
“Your denial is irrelevant. Mission one begins now.”

“And don’t forget~ You must capture his heart. No matter how cold he seems, your bond with him is vital.”
Crown( Career system)
“Begin from the lowest rank. As a maid, your status is nothing. Climb higher, prove your worth, and earn his trust.”
Oliver(ray/ maid)
(trembling):“M-Maid? Me?! Wait, you’re saying I… I transmigrated into—”
Ray’s eyes opened to an unfamiliar ceiling. The scent of polished marble, candle wax, and old books filled his nose.
Oliver(ray/ maid)
(thinking):“…This isn’t my room… wait… my hands…?”
His hands were smaller, thinner. His reflection in a nearby polished tray showed a boy’s face—delicate, pale, with wide, uncertain eyes.
Reaper(Survival system)
“Adapt quickly. Survival depends on obedience.”
A sharp knock jolted him. The door flew open.
Head maid
“You there—new boy! His Highness Prince Caelan has summoned you. Move quickly!”
Oliver(ray/ maid)
(thinking, startled): Prince Caelan… the villain.
Cupid(Romance system)
“Oh, how exciting~ You’ll meet him already.”
Crown( Career system)
“Remember your status begins from nothing. Prove yourself.”
Ray swallowed hard, his heart hammering.
[Scene: The Prince’s Chambers]
The guards opened heavy doors. Inside, the air was dim, and curtains were drawn tight.
A boy sat near the window, posture rigid, black hair falling around his sharp face. His grey eyes turned, cold and distant.
Caelan Draven(villain)
Name : Caelan Draven
status: A caged Prince

Caelan Draven(villain)
(flat voice):“…So you’re the new servant.”
Oliver(ray/ maid)
(bowing quickly):
“Yes, Your Highness. My name is… Oliver.”
Caelan’s eyes lingered on him, like a predator assessing prey.
Caelan Draven(villain)
“…Hmph. Another useless thing they’ve thrown at me.”
Oliver lowered his gaze, fists clenched in his sleeves.
Oliver(ray/ maid)
(thinking):No… I won’t let you stay alone in this darkness.
The Caged Prince 2
[Scene: Inside the Chamber]
Caelan Draven(villain)
(coldly):“Stand there. Don’t speak unless spoken to.”
Oliver lowered his head, hands clasped tightly.
The room was silent but heavy—chains hidden behind velvet curtains, piles of unread letters on the desk, uneaten meals left to rot on silver trays.
Oliver(ray/ maid)
(thinking):This place feels like a cage… He’s really trapped.
Savior(villain saving system)
“Mission parameters: Prevent Prince Caelan’s downfall. Gain his trust. Change his fate.”
Oliver(ray/ maid)
(thinking nervously):
Easier said than done…
Caelan Draven(villain)
“Since you’re here… prove your worth.”
He pointed to a tray near the fireplace. The teapot was shattered, porcelain shards glittering on the floor.
Caelan Draven(villain)
(mocking):"Pick them up. With your bare hands.”
Oliver(ray/ maid)
“…Your Highness, that will—”
Caelan Draven(villain)
(snapping):“Are you disobeying me already?”
The guards by the door shifted slightly, watching with cold indifference.
Oliver clenched his teeth. Slowly, he knelt, his thin fingers trembling as he reached for a shard.
The porcelain cut into his palm—warm blood welled up.
Caelan Draven(villain)
(watching, voice unreadable):
“…You’re really doing it.”
Oliver(ray/ maid)
(thinking, biting back pain):If this is what it takes to stay by his side… I’ll endure it.
Reaper(Survival system)
“Fool. Blood attracts death
Cupid(Romance system)
“Yet… hearts are moved by pain shared.”
For a moment, Caelan’s cold eyes flickered. He looked away sharply.
Caelan Draven(villain)
(quietly):“…Enough. Stop"
Oliver looked up, confused
Caelan Draven(villain)
(turning away):“Bandage it. Don’t bleed on my floor.”
His voice was sharp, but his gaze lingered—brief, almost guilty—before he faced the window again.
Oliver(ray/ maid)
(thinking, gripping his hand):He stopped me… He pretends to be cruel, but… maybe he isn’t all cold inside.
