The system fell silent, its light
flickering around Karry. After a long
moment, it spoke, its tone less mechanical.
“Isn’t is good to be the hero? You’ll
have enviable opportunities, endless
wealth, and a woman who loves you
unconditionally. You’ll become the most
powerful man in this world.”
Its tone softened, a persuasive
undercurrent urging Karry to accept a
memory rewrite, to return to his destined
path. He could have everything
the love he craved with the female
supporting character.

want and more.”
“You don’t care about losing
everything? The system, incapable of
understanding human emotion, saw this
as a stupid choice.
Karry shook his head.“I don’t.”
“But Emily Kane is destined to die.
The sole purpose of her existence was to
fall in love with you, only to meet her end
at your hands.”
Karry froze, his mind blanking. Even

The orb was very proud. Even the hero couldn’t do anything about it. As the
system, it had controlled countless worlds; this little world’s hero was easily
replaceable.
The system’s smile abruptly halted. Karry didn’t want to be the hero, did he?
The system paused, its processes momentarily glitching. Then, it stopped teasing Karry.
“Oh, Emily Kane already died six
years ago. She’s completed her mission.”
Karry finally understood; the system‘

relaxed. The system’s attention returned

“Everything you have is because
you’re the hero. If you give it up, you’ll
lose everything when you return to the
real world. Not every supporting
character is as lucky as Evelyn Kane, the
heiress of a wealthy family. If you choose
not to be the hero, someone else will take
your place; you won’t even keep your
name.”
If Emily hadn’t given up being Emily
Kane, her fate would have been death. But
she became Evelyn Kane, an insignificant
character, and she could choose her own
path.
The system believed this threat
would deter Karry. However, he nodded

“No regrets?” The system asked again.
“No regrets.”
