The villains in angst-heavy stories turn evil because of all the suffering they endure early on. They want to destroy the world and oppose the protagonist. But many villains have such a miserable start that they can't keep going and lose the will to live, causing several small worlds to collapse.
System 003 happens upon a blank soul.
The blank soul has no memories. He drifts through the void, with nothing around him but the sound of his own sorrowful sobbing.
003 takes him away, makes him its Host, and sends him into a small world.
"Your mission is to increase the villain's will to live."
World One: A gladiator-arena slave villain from a Western fantasy story X a poisonous little plant
The villain rarely speaks to the little plant of his own accord. Maybe he was in a good mood that day.
"What kind of grass are you?"
"I'm a little plant."
"..."
"Is there no such kind as a little plant?"
"I don't know. Maybe there is."
"Then what kinds do you know?"
"Sensitive plants. The nobles grow them."
He had once been brought to a noble's banquet and forced to fight a magical beast for the guests' entertainment. He accidentally trampled a few blades of grass in the garden during the fight, angering the estate's owner. For that, he was beaten until his skin was torn and he was left half dead.
"What's a sensitive plant?"
"A kind of plant that gets shy. Whenever someone touches it, it shyly closes its leaves."
"I see..."
The little plant wiggled its leaves and was delighted to discover that it could close them too.
"I'm a sensitive plant!"
"You're not."
"All right..."
The little plant wasn't discouraged.
"Then I'm a hugging plant!"
"A hugging plant?"
"It's a kind of plant that gives hugs. Whenever someone touches me, I hug them!"
In the dark dungeon, a man covered in wounds lay on the ground. Suddenly, a soft sensation brushed his fingertips.
The little plant tried with all its might to close its leaves, wrapping them around the man's bloodstained fingertip in a hug.
"I didn't touch you."
"But this little plant wants to hug you."
