Hogwarts: I Obtained the Paternal System

Hogwarts: I Obtained the Paternal System Author: Nan Yi'an

Darren transmigrated into the world of Harry Potter and became Harry's twin brother.

Just as he was hesitating over whether he should spend the next seven years lying low because of his identity, he obtained the Paternal System.

As long as he acted like a paternal saint, he could earn Paternal Points, which could be used in the shop.

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining Phoenix Carol."

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining an Obscurus."

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining the Azure Dragon's Reverse Scale."

"..."

With the system's help, Darren acted like a paternal saint all the way through and discovered that the road to godhood was surprisingly easy.

Paternal System

Year.

London.

Inside an Orphanage.

Darren sat alone in a corner of the garden.

How had he transmigrated?

And into a foreigner, no less.

Fortunately, he had inherited the original owner's memories as soon as he arrived, so he would not be exposed for being unable to speak the language.

But he really was a little lost. Wasn't transmigration supposed to be voluntary?

Darren sighed mournfully.

When he turned around, he spotted Kenli in the distance, striding over menacingly with several other children.

He rubbed his aching head.

Kenli was the king of the children at this Orphanage.

Every child had to listen to him, or they would get beaten.

The original owner had violated one of Kenli's rules, so Kenli shoved him down the stairs. His head hit the ground, and he died on the spot.

Then Darren from the twenty-first century woke up in his place.

Over the past few days, Kenli had given Darren no end of trouble, determined to force him into submission.

Naturally, Darren refused. With an adult's way of thinking, he secretly tripped Kenli up several times and made him suffer quite a bit.

He had thought that would buy him some peace, but Kenli was too stupid to figure it out. He thought it was all his own fault and never once considered getting revenge on Darren, yet he still came to pick on him every day.

If Darren had not just transmigrated and intended to stay at the Orphanage for a while, he would have let Kenli enjoy the same treatment as the original owner long ago.

"Darren! Yali told me you were hiding here, and she was right. You still haven't handed over today's snacks. Do you want me to push you down again?"

Kenli was a year older than Darren, twelve this year. He was broad and burly, like a grown young man. Darren had always suspected he had been raised on pig feed.

The moment he heard Kenli demanding snacks, Darren wanted to laugh and call him an idiot.

Did this guy think he would save his snacks for Kenli to snatch, just like the original owner had? What a joke. He had already eaten them in two bites!

But just as he was about to speak, a mechanical voice rang out beside his ear.

[Ding, congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Paternal System.]

[Ding, as long as the Host performs paternal saintly acts, the Host can obtain Paternal Points. Paternal Points can be used in the shop.]

[Ding, congratulations, Host, on obtaining a beginner's gift pack. Would you like to open it?]

The Paternal System?

There was actually a system like that in this world?

Darren opened his mouth and stared blankly, speechless.

Then, in the next instant, he turned his head away in disgust.

No!

He did not want to be some paternal saint!

Even with rewards, he would lose his dignity.

[Forget it. You should leave.]

[Ding, the system has detected the Host's thoughts and believes it is necessary to explain the Paternal System.]

[Ding, as its name implies, the Paternal System is about acting as a paternal saint. However, this system only requires the Host to perform acts that people perceive as paternal saintly.]

[Ding, in other words, even if the Host murders and commits arson behind everyone's backs, as long as no one discovers it, the Host will not violate the rules.]

[Ding, the system's explanation is complete. If the Host insists on making the system leave, the system will initiate its self-destruction sequence.]

What the hell?

[Ahem, you should stay.]

Dignity, schminity. Darren just wanted to see what being a paternal saint felt like.

Mm, it felt pretty good.

Even though he had not started being one yet.

[Ding, since the Host has decided to bind with the system, would the Host like to open the beginner's gift pack?]

[Open it, open it!]

Darren rubbed his hands together excitedly.

He had heard that beginner's gift packs always guaranteed a god-tier ability.

He wondered what he would get.

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Paternal Halo: increases your appearance, temperament, and charm.]

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the skill Fearless in the Face of Death: every time you are injured, you can block your own sense of pain. When receiving fatal damage, you may adjust the extent of the damage inflicted upon yourself.]

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the Heart of the Best Actor: allows you to freely control your expressions, emotions, and physical condition.]

[Ding, congratulations, Host, on obtaining Magic Power +100.]

Huh?

Darren understood the first three rewards. They were basically beautification, a Pain Shield, and god-tier acting skills. But what did the last one mean?

Magic power?

There was magic power in this world?

With a thought from Darren, all four rewards were bestowed upon him.

A sudden understanding came to him as he looked at a flower in the flowerbed. He thought of Chocolate, and before his eyes, the flower gradually turned into a piece of Chocolate and fell to the ground.

This...

This was really magic power?

Could this be the world of Harry Potter?

Darren could not be blamed for his limited imagination. For the moment, Harry Potter was the only novel he could think of that had magic.

This was incredible!

[Ding, the system has detected an opportunity for the Host to act as a paternal saint. A temporary mission is now being issued: give the snacks to Kenli and say, "Here, have some Chocolate. Stop bullying others."]

[Ding, upon completing the mission, you will receive God-Tier Legilimency (when someone investigates, you may fabricate false memories). Would the Host like to accept the mission?]

[Accept!]

Case closed. This was definitely Harry Potter!

Legilimency was absolutely a useful skill in Harry Potter.

Especially for a transmigrator like him.

And especially God-Tier Legilimency.

Darren hurriedly accepted the mission.

Only then did he look up at Kenli.

The guy had not seen him turn the flower into Chocolate at all. He smugly assumed Darren's silence meant he was afraid.

Darren secretly rolled his eyes.

But he immediately wiped the expression away, lifted his head, and gave him an expectant smile. Hesitantly, he raised his hand, a piece of unwrapped Chocolate resting in his palm.

He did not know how long he had been holding the Chocolate, but it still looked delicious.

As though he had gathered up all his courage, Darren gritted his teeth and said, "Here, have some Chocolate. Stop bullying others, okay? If you're willing, I'll give you all my Chocolate from now on!"
