Clyde also embraced me, pressing his lips to my temple. “I’m sorry I’m late.”

No, you’re not late at all. Thank you for coming back. I’m sorry.

The words I couldn’t utter because I was too busy releasing suppressed sobs kept accumulating inside. And I was confused.

Because it was I who had caused this mess. It seemed like it should have been me disappearing, not demon Clyde. Because I was growing weary of a world where the more I loved, the more of a sinner I became.

Moreover, the area around my scapula, where Clyde’s name had been engraved, was painfully red. It was a ripping, splitting, burning pain. Whether this pain originated from my mind or was physical, I couldn’t tell.

Clyde held me as I was about to collapse. “He told you, didn’t he? That we were originally one. That I just eliminated my personality, and it had nothing to do with you. Ignore that strange quest.”

He saw right through my guilt.

“You just think about yourself. After all, everyone else acts only for themselves. That’s how you survive, Theresa.”

Suddenly, a bright red warning window popped up.

Ding!

…What? A chill ran down my spine as I wide-eyed at the message.

[Quest: The Demon’s Lover]

▸

Reward: The disappearance of the demon Clyde

▸

Failure: The disappearance of human Clyde

Suddenly, the quest disappeared, and a black hole ripped open in the space before us. I had seen something similar before—when Ozworld used a beam of light in Pantheon that split spacetime.

“What is this…!”

Before I could grasp the situation, Clyde was pulled away from me. His body filled with noise, blurring like a glitched screen. It all happened so fast.

“Clyde!” I ran desperately, trying to catch him as he was sucked into the rift. Clyde’s lips barely moved.

Don’t come.

The rift that swallowed its target began to close. My sprint was futile against its closing speed, and I screamed in despair. “No!”

Then, the black butterfly darted into the closing rift, and it sealed shut. The butterfly, which had been clinging to my shadow, disappeared along with Clyde.

“

”

After running till I was dizzy, there was nothing I wanted at the spot where I stopped. Only the sound of raindrops hitting the ground echoed in the empty chapel, leaving me alone. I had lost everything.

“Clyde…? Where are you?”

He was just here. He was supposed to be here.

Thunder that seemed to split the sky roared, snapping me out of my daze. I ran out of the chapel like a madwoman, searching the surroundings.

“Clyde!”

My wedding dress was stained black with mud. Cuts accumulated on my feet, bare from lost shoes. Yet, I clenched the hand wearing the ring tightly; it was something I couldn’t afford to lose.

“Clyde, where are you! Please, show yourself…!”

When I finally tripped over the dress and fell disgracefully, a pair of shoes, untouched by the rain, came into view.

“How foolish.”

It was Ozworld’s voice.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Alerts went off again noisily.

ㅜㅜ

. It seems like a broadcast error. Please fix it quickly.]

While notifications filled the screen, I lay there stupidly staring just at the shoes. My mind was emptied, unable to move my body or even have the will to.

“How long do you plan to stay like this?”

A light tsk sound and a hand forcibly lifted me up. Ozworld, holding a black umbrella alone, entered my dazed vision just as cleanly and splendidly blond as he had been under the fierce and beautiful moon. Dressed impeccably as if he didn’t feel the cold, his arrogance was more apparent than ever. Ozworld, looking more noble than anyone, looked down at me.

“Did you make Clyde disappear…?”

A sneer appeared on Ozworld’s face.

“Mr. Clyde caused a critical error by deviating from the setting, so the system removed him.”

. Okay~ I’ll leave~]

“Give him back.” I clutched at Ozworld’s smoothly textured jacket, desperately pleading. “Give back Clyde…! Please return Clyde!”

“The data has already been deleted. Give up.” Ozworld spoke with a feigned pity, checking my shadow. “With the update completed, the problems have vanished all at once. Isn’t that fortunate?”

I was about to scream at his absurd words when another alert appeared.

Ding!

[< God’s Play> Update Complete – A new character has been added.]

“…”

The moment the system window with bizarre information appeared, my eyelids trembled. A new character? My entire body went cold.

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Question Mark Killer” has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[Was there such a thing as a new character…? I thought < God’s Play> only had four main characters?]

Ozworld shrugged. “We couldn’t provide more fun with the old methods, so you see.

, from now on, I won’t be able to respond to sponsorship comments.”

I stared at Ozworld with dry eyes. No. It couldn’t be. The sh*tty premonition that Ozworld was a new character had to end as just a paranoid delusion. It had to be just my excessive suspicion, but the character information window popped up.

Ozworld, seemingly unable to see the system window, tilted his head slightly toward where I was looking and asked, “Do you see it properly?”

[What’s happening? Why is Ozworld suddenly becoming the male lead? What stocks should I buy now?]

Constellations showed a range of reactions from shock to joy to disappointment, indicating how shocking Ozworld’s direct appearance as a male lead in this world was.

But could anyone be as shocked as me? I felt like my body was being torn apart by extreme stress. A bile rose in my throat, and my legs trembled so much I wanted to collapse, but I was held up by Ozworld. An unpleasant voice that sounded like scraping metal flowed out between my lips.

“Why are you doing this…?”

Why are you doing this to me?

Ozworld kissed my cheek and answered with a laughter-tinged voice, “Because you look interesting. Your love does.”

You crazy piece of garbage.

“I wish you were dead.”

Those were my last words before I lost consciousness.

[“Hello, Shin Jiwoo.”]

Strange noises pierced my eardrums through a hazy consciousness.

[“If you’re awake, let’s talk. We don’t have much time.”]

The voice, mixed with mechanical sounds as if spoken through a voice changer, made my eyes snap open.

“…What is this place?”

I woke up on a worn and torn sofa in a place unknown to me. In front of me, a black-and-white sitcom from the 1960s played on television. A person walking with an umbrella stopped and looked at me through the screen.

[“Sorry for appearing this way. The update just finished, and Ozworld’s surveillance weakened, so we were in a rush too.”]

I watched the screen warily and asked, “Who are you?”

[“Maybe someone who was in a similar situation to yours?”]

“If you were in a similar situation… were you a BJ?”

[“No. I was a character in a novel written by an author who loved their world as much as you do. And…”]

The screen changed to a scene of a gardener in a straw hat watering a flower bed. The gardener continued,

[“I’m also the head of the Ozworld Company Victim’s Union.”]
