The Wildflower Son

Summary

I’ve been bound to a "System" and tasked with saving a villain. Not just any villain—a reborn, blackened, paranoid, trust-no-one-type villain.

[System: Okay, let's pick your role. You could be the girl-next-door he grew up with, or perhaps the toxic side-character who becomes his right-hand woman...]

"I want to be his mom," I said.

[System: ???]

I smiled. "If this is a rescue mission, the best way to save him is to make sure none of the bad stuff ever happens at all."

This time, he's going to be a happy kid. This time, he'll have a mother.
