Zhu Kang felt his soul leave his body. I was dark after that. He tightly closed his eyes.
The next second he opened them he was in a very small space.
It was that refrigerator-shaped transmitter machine. He was sitting inside it again.
’I’m... back here... why... why didn’t I go to heaven or hell... why won’t my soul be accepted.... Why must I co here....’
The loneliness and sadness hit him like a wave. He collapsed into the small floor space and hugged his knees tightly.
He couldn’t cry.
His soul form did not have the ability to cry.
But every ti he thought of Aaron his whole soul would tremble.
’I left behind every one of them... Aaron, Gwyn... Lia... Altren... I left them all behind.’
He hurriedly sat up and pressed a few buttons.
The system displayed a ssage on the display screen.
{’welco back host. You have successfully completed an E-class task. The task reward has been sent to your profile.’}
He hurriedly pressed the red button. "Wait send back to that world. I want to go back,"
{’the task in that world had been completed. The world had turned into independent. Lower grade systems can’t get involved in such worlds again.’}
"I want to go back!!" he banged his head on the control board. "Please... can’t go back."
{’there is no way to go back."}
Zhu Kang’s soul turned translucent for a second. "Why am I here then? I... I will be killed here..’
{’after a certain amount of ti out, the host will be sent to the next world.’}
"no... I don’t want that. I’d... I’d rather die. Maybe then my soul will find a way to reach reincarnation." He softly whimpered.
{’that is not an option host. The mont you initiated the transmigration you have agreed to the terms of the system regulation. You have to follow them. You will have to go to the other worlds to save them. That is not an option,
Zhu Kang gritted his teeth. "What If I go there and destroy it? What then?"
{’host’s soul will be destroyed.’}
"I’m a man with nothing to lose you annoying system. I will destroy that world you just watch!."
{’you are not that hard-hearted person host. It was the reason you were chosen for these tasks. Please set aside your grievances. Because if you work you can save millions and millions of lives. Don’t you want that?’}
"who asked to be darn hero..... I just want my family back." He sniffled loudly. "I want my Aaron back. I left while he was sleeping. I don’t know how he will react.... He... I love him so much. How can you understand that."
{’in that case, there is one option for the host to et your lover again.’}
He raised his head up and faced the screen, slightly trembling. "H-how?"
{’you can finish all the tasks. by then my system operations would have been upgraded to a higher level. Higher-level systems can transmigrate even to a complete world. I can take you there. But only if you complete all your tasks perfectly. One failed world ans you could be delayed.’}
"Bull, by then my Aaron would have passed. Are you trying to cheat ?"
{’ti passes differently in different worlds. you don’t need to worry about your lover disappearing from this world. All you have to do is follow the tasks and you will et him.’}
"you not lying to , right?"
{’system can’t lie,’}
Zhu Kang bit his lips. "Fine... I’ll do it."
A few more worlds, just a few more years, and he can et his lover again. He just had to hold on tonight.
{’transmigration count down one minute}
Right after the system said his there was a sound of footsteps coming closer to his pod.
Zhu Kang hurriedly lowered himself and hid in the small area below.
There were two n outside.
He tightly closed his mouth. ’Shit it’s those n in black. There are here to shoot down? Fuck.. system can’t you speed it up. Don’t say the answer out loud.’
{’I can’t speed it up. I’m a low-level system.’}
’ah, fucking hells.’ He silently sat there hoping and praying those n would leave.

"It’s been a few days. Shittttt.... a long ti passed in there. Do you think he will kill us?" Coulson bit his nails anxiously.
"he will kill you," Myers.
Due to a technical difficulty, the system space he had opened had gone haywire and their captain was stuck in that world for a few days.
A few days in this space is equal to ten years there.
Their captain was stuck there for ten years!!!
Their bad-tempered boss would probably kill them at sight after he returns.
Coulson held his stomach. "I think I’m having diarrhea." He rushed to the door.
"oh no no." Myers stopped him. "You are not escaping this ss, my friend. When our captain returns, we will face the punishnt as a group."
"no.... but he will kill ... or maybe remove a limb or so. You know about him. He can barely control his temper."
Myers rolled his eyes. "He is not that cruel. Just sit tight. You might just get a pay cut for a few months. It’s better than disappearing from here and getting sacked."
Coulson imdiately sat down. "I’m sat."
The space he sat down in happened to be the system space where the rogue guy had been in. the few cranes were still scattered all around. He picked out a few and read them. "This guy really seems to hate this place. Do you think he might be the mastermind? I think he was just an innocent soul." He whispered softly.
Their captain was convinced that the system was a rogue mastermind.
"We won’t know unless we capture him,"
Right then a bright light appeared in the middle of the room where the broken spaceport was.
Their captain appeared out of nowhere and stumbled around.
"Caption!" Myers imdiately helped stabilize him and helped him sit down. "Are you wounded, sir? Did anything happen to you? Tell !"
Kai Alden blankly looked around. His eyes seed unfocused. "Where...."
"sir you are back in the illegal transmission station. Is everything okay?" he handed a bottle of nutrient solution.
Kai shook his hand. "I..."
He mories of his job, his ti at variance academy, and his mission all ca back to him.
Everything made sense.
He hugged his aching head tightly. But he still couldn’t deal with that loss.
That scene.... I remained in his mind like a freshly torn open wound.
He woke up early to make so porridge for his husband.
Zhu Kang looked so peaceful with a small smile on his face. He too was happy back then. He hugged him and placed his head on his chest.
But that unusual coldness and stiffens made him freeze.
His lover’s heart which was beating in sync with his had stopped.
Zhu Kang, no Eric... had left his world.
Only his body remained.
He tremblingly hugged him.
Kai couldn’t feel anything at that point. He only just laid next to him. Not even tears could co out.
He felt numb.
Only by the afternoon when Gwyn returned and notice the anomaly.
They rushed Zhu Kang to the hospital. But it was of no use.
He was already dead.
Everyone arranged the funeral but he had been only watching from the sidelines. He still couldn’t believe that he had left him all alone in this world.
He was numb until he saw the headstone.
The na Zhu Kang was written on it.
He panicked.
He rushed to that spot and hurriedly scratched it off. And with his nails, he scratched his lover’s real na. Eric.
Gwyn had gotten so furious and tried to grab onto him, but Altren stop that ss.
The tears he had been holding back rushed out. Sobbing, he hugged the headstone. "he is not dead yet... he is Alive sowhere.. sowhere. I will find him....."
Everyone looked at him like he was crazy.
Later that night, he did what had to be done.
He took pills and silently went to sleep just as his lover did.
That’s how he ended up here.
Kai Alden held his head tightly. "wait..... 101.... I was sent to find him.... he is system... he is my system..."
"What is it, captain? Did you capture that system? He must have co alongside you. Did you not bind with him?"
His eyes widened. "I did! Our heartbeats were in sync,"
Myers looked around. "But I don’t see him. Maybe he used despicable ans to escape."
"No... he Is not like that..."
He frantically looked around.
By chance, he spotted the small transmigration pod. It’s half broken, but he noticed a small shadow in it.
Without a word, he dashed to it and opened it.
But to his space it was empty.
Only the ssage ’successfully transmigrated was shown on the glitching screen.
"Connor! Quick send to where he left! He was right here. He was right here."
Connor started to sweat. "Sending out again will really be dangerous to your soul. Plus, since you are not bound to that system you will have a lot of problems, like last ti. You might even end up getting stuck there forever."
"I don’t care!!!! Send !!"
Connor and Myers got to work.
