Chapter 1: Mission completed

In the evening, around 11 p.m in Ytenyo City.

A young man stood on a bridge, and looked into the distance. The place the young man was looking at was the city center, it was bustling with activity, moreover neon lights that were being emitted from high-rise buildings illuminated a large area.

This was completely opposite to where the young man was standing.

Where he was standing was extremely deserted, and aside from the lights illuminating the bridge, this place only occasionally saw a car passing by.

The young man was dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans, and he was holding a small box in his hand. 𝘪.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Inside the box was a cake, with a small red text written on it.

‘3 year anniversary’

However, the young man just sighed and put the box in his hand on the ground.

He took out his phone, found a familiar number named ‘Selvia’ and selected ‘call’.

The call rang for a long time on the other side, but as it was about to end the person named Selvia picked up the phone.

From the other side came a very pleasant voice, similar to the sound of a silver bell.

“Lathel? Why are you calling me? I told you that I need to prepare for an important meeting today, you shouldn’t have called me.”

When the young man named Lathel heard that, his eyes immediately became lonely. He sighed and said: “Meeting? Was it with that man?”

The tone at which he said this was very chilly like a block of ice.

Selvia was silent for about 5 seconds, then she angrily said: “Lathel, pay attention to your identity. You should know what to ask and what not to ask.”

Selvia’s voice was filled with impatience, and annoyance.

“Um… I understand.”

Lathel’s voice was now only lonely and calm, without any other emotions.

“Good! I hope you won’t continue to bother me.”

Without waiting for Lathel to answer, Selvia immediately hung up the phone.

Lathel looked at the phone, then put it back in his pocket, then he looked up at the lonely night sky that was without its celestial bodies.

“Ah! That’s good, at least… I can leave this world without any regrets.”

Lathel’s voice changed again, like he was liberated. Just like that, the chain that had bound him for a long time was broken, and he was completely free.

“Are you Lathel?”

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. Lathel turned his head and saw a man standing right behind him wearing a hoodie with the hood over his head, and a mask covering his face.

As Lathel faced this mysterious person there was not an ounce of fear within him, his eyes were also indifferent and calm which made him look strange.

Even the mysterious person who saw Lathel’s eyes felt confused.

He took out a photo from his pocket and gave it to Lathel.

Lathel held the photo and saw that there was a man and a woman in the picture.

The woman was extremely beautiful, she had long blonde hair, and she was wearing a tight-fitting office dress that showcased her curves.

The man was also extremely handsome, he had a strong temperament, and his athletic body was covered in a black suit.

The man in the picture was leading the woman into a hotel. The photo made them look extremely intimate.

Of course, looking at this photo, anyone could discern what they went inside the hotel for.

Lathel sighed and said: “Sigh, did that stupid CEO call you here?”

“You don’t need to know too much. I’m just passing on the message to help the young master. I hope you can stay away from Selvia, she is already the young master’s woman, if you are still near her…”

The mysterious person didn’t finish his sentence, but he took out a knife about 20 cm long from his pocket and placed the tip of the knife on Lathel’s stomach.

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Ah! I get it ! I get it!” Lathel shrugged and said: “Tell him, from now on I will no longer be by her side.”

“Good! Don’t make me…AAA!! What the hell are you doing?”

The man was startled when he saw Lathel proactively rush forward, and grab the hand which he used to hold the knife.

However, Lathel did not do this to catch the man off guard, instead he forcefully used the knife in the man’s hand to stab his stomach.

To be more precise… Lathel just committed suicide with the help of the man.

“You… you…” The man trembled in fear, as he didn’t know what to say.

However, because he was so scared, he immediately let go of the knife, turned around and ran away.

Lathel leaned on the bridge and slowly sat down on the ground.

“It hurts so much… Luckily, I was about to die when someone came to help me. Haizzz…”

Lathel raised his head to the sky, as he calmly waited for his life to end.

In fact, Lathel was not from this world, rather he came from Earth.

On earth, he had a stable job and a beautiful wife. By the time Lathel was 30 years old, he had enough experience in business, so he decided to establish his own company.

Luckily, the company developed very well, and by the time he was 40 years old, he owned a fortune of more than $10 million.

However, when he was 42 years old, his wife had an affair, and his wife’s lover was the director of a government company. But he was unaware of this.

When he was 45 years old, his company officially went bankrupt, and all of his assets were confiscated by the bank to pay debts.

When this happened, He realized that his wife coordinated with her lover, and pushed his company to the brink of bankruptcy. At that moment, he realized that the wife he had loved for so long was just a cheap whore.

He fell from grace to grass. He was someone who once owned assets that were worth almost 10 million dollars, but now he was homeless. From dining in luxury restaurants, he found himself scavenging for food in trash cans.

Lathel wandered around the city for 5 years. When he was 50 years old, on a winter day, with heavy snowfall, he died of cold and illness on a bench in the park.

Thus ending his 50 years of human suffering.

However, what he did not expect was that after dying, he would meet a god named Dandite.

Then he entered into a transaction with Dandite.

Dandite said that among the worlds he manages, there was a world with too many bugs, so he needed Lathel to go to that world as a supporting character to fix the bugs.

Those bugs were mostly problems revolving around the heroines in that world.

That means his job was like that of a chef, and the heroines were like his cooking ingredients.

He would process those ingredients and turn them into a sumptuous feast. While the main male character sat at the table and enjoyed the feast he had prepared.

Of course, if Lathel completed the task, he would be taken by Dandite to a world he likes.

After 2 years in this world, Lathel finally solved all the bugs. However, he fell in love with one of the heroines of this world. That’s why he decided to stay in this world for another 3 years.

That’s right, that person was Selvia.

Even though their relationship was not progressing well, he thought that he could change Selvia’s mind and push the male protagonist out.

However, he thought too simply. At the end of the day He was just a supporting character, a bug fixer and he could not win against the main character’s aura.

Even though 3 years had passed, Selvia was still only interested in developing the company and its business situation.

Moreover he now saw her only 2 or 3 times a week. Sometimes, because Selvia was too busy, she would stay at the company instead of resting at home. At that time, he would only be able to see her once a month.

Of course, nothing had happened between him and Selvia. After all, Selvia was a Heroine, he could hold her hand and hug her, but he could not be intimate with her.

This was the law of this world.

3 years had passed, and he finally realized that all his efforts were in vain.

The male protagonists of this world appeared one by one and carried the heroines whose bugs he had fixed and left with them.

Finally, Selvia’s male protagonist also appeared. That’s right, it was the CEO of the partner company that Selvia was working with.

“Okay, maybe this is the best outcome for me…” Lathel muttered. At this point, he completely gave up everything and peacefully left this world.

After all… he was just a passerby in this world.

…

In a strange space, Lathel was sitting in a corner, and in front of him was a ball of light emitting a dazzling aura floating in the air.

“Sigh, it seems like the mission just now left you severely traumatized mentally.” A voice rang out.

That voice sounded like 10 people speaking at the same time, and it was impossible to distinguish whether the owner of that voice was male or female.

“It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have let a newbie like you do such a difficult task.”

Lathel hugged his knees as he sat down, he shook his head and said: “No, that’s because I’m stupid. Even though I already knew the outcome, I still thought I had the ability to change the fate of a female lead.”

The mysterious voice rang out again: “No, you’re not that stupid. Sometimes… even a smart person, when they do something they want to do, no matter how stupid it is, they will still try to do it.”

“Even if they know in advance that the results will not be good, even if they know in advance that they will fail, they will still want to do it, as they feel like trying their luck. It seems… people always think they can change their destiny.”

Lathel suddenly smiled, his smile filled with pain: “Thank you, Dandite, you taught me when to give up.”

“Heh?! I never taught you that, you learned that yourself. Okay, back to the point.” Dandite said.

“You completed your mission perfectly. Even though you managed to stay in that world for another 3 years, it did not affect the development of the characters in that world.”

“Now, tell me what kind of reward you want, Lathel.”
