Speaking of Elsa, her life in the story was really uncomfortable. When David had sold his company, he had planned several moles and obstacles.
Elsa was so troubled after six months that she wanted to return the company back to the male lead, but there was a condition—she had to donate all the money earned through the company to the orphans.
She had skipped a few paragraphs to go through the document quickly and sign it. At that time, she was so happy that she overlooked loopholes in that paper. Now she could only control her urge to kill David from her own bare hands and handle the company well.
On the other side, Alex had also come out of the prison after spending months. He could've disappeared, but David wouldn't let him go. All the fiasco happened just because Alex had approached Elsa through the emails and made her his puppet who would do devious tasks.
Even those fake documents were prepared by Elsa under Alex's command! And now that Tyler was dead, David blamed Alex for it. How could he let him go? He instantly found evidence against Alex and how the latter killed Tyler's father, sending him to prison. The judge announced a death sentence, giving the male lead a little relief.
But the video still wasn't finished. At the end of the video, when David was already old enough to leave his body, he sat in the wheelchair and insisted the doctors stubbornly take him to a place.
He refused to take medicines if his wishes weren't fulfilled. The doctors sighed in defeat and simply went with him to a place.
This was where Tyler's body was buried. The latter's face still looked as good as new in the pic before the graveyard. But the person watching him this time had turned older. His face, hands, and legs were filled with wrinkles. Hair had already turned white.
While watching this scene, Tyler realized that even the male lead's vision wasn't clear since that person tried to come closer and squint his eyes to take a closer look.
David, probably for the first time in his life, couldn't say anything. He blankly kept staring at Tyler and simply died just like that.
The video ended.
Tyler stayed calm and stared at the replay button for a long time before saying "replay" at once. But his heart still wasn't soothed even after watching the entire thing twice.
But he understood one thing. That guy seemed to have triggered a method to give Tyler more power.
What did that mean? What kind of power? Would that be able to save him from this world of transmigration?
A trace of hope appeared in his heart. Finally, after enduring for so long, he could see a bright light at the end of the tunnel. He wouldn't miss it out in any way!
He spent the rest of his time in this space filled with shrubs and birds before he closed his eyes. His consciousness was sucked away as soon as the half-hour break ended.
***
In a dark room, a figure suddenly appeared when Tyler was replaying the video for the second time. When he appeared, he frantically checked Tyler's status on his system and sighed in relief.
Tyler seemed to be recovering in his space. This was good news. At least, his heart was soothed by this news, but his heart still seemed to be burning inside his chest.
He still remembered how Tyler had died, and he absolutely didn't want him to die ever again!
But when he remembered how Tyler would always become a villain in every world, the man couldn't help but feel remorse. There was still one restriction on Tyler that the man in the dark room couldn't break—the time limit.
The world rule would force every character to spend their prescribed lifetime. But if a character happened to die prematurely, the poor character would end up living in the same world as a ghost until the time limit would end. This process was heck torturous to those characters who would be forced to roam around the world for thousands of years!
Thankfully, Tyler hadn't faced anything like that recently.
And secondly, if the character were prescribed to die within a day, he would die no matter what! Even if Tyler changed the entire storyline, the world rule would twist the story so that the character would die anyway.
This means even if Tyler weren't following his character role as a villain, he would still be killed despite staying far away from his character settings.
This made David feel very frustrated.
Soon, a message popped up on his system interface.
[Respected @#&()vdj,
We have selected the next world after so much trouble, but we please request you to keep yourself in check. After conducting a research in the previous world, we have concluded that your relationship with Mr. Tyler is fatal for our mission.]
The man couldn't help but curse out loud. What the f*ck was wrong with these higher-ups? How could they reach such a conclusion?
[Before you pop your veins, respected sir, please listen to our analysis. The world's fate and the entire story changed just because of your unnatural attraction toward Mr. Tyler. We understand your feelings for him, sir, but we would appreciate it if you can keep yourself in check for the sake of our mission.]
The man in the dark room pursed his lips. He knew he had gotten too far by OOCing constantly, creating an imbalance in the world. If the arcs were not appropriately followed, the world would fail to exist. Every single world was created out of stories.
If the characters don't play the roles properly, what would the meaning of the existence of the world be? It would be better to follow the rules and fulfill his mission. It was the best shortcut he could find to save Tyler.
But wasn't it too much? He had already missed that person for decades! He could hardly wait to see him!
And now he also had to follow some rules to curb his desires?
It was too cruel. His eyes turned dark, so dark that if his eyes had powers, it could destroy the entire dark space.
The system interface seemed to perceive his unstable emotions and trembled in fear.
After taking a few deep breaths, the man continued to read the message.
[We won't impose a restriction on you, but if you skip even a single arc, the world will become unstable, and it would not be easy to retrieve the power. So please, sir, we beg of you, don't make things difficult for us.
Yours faithfully,
User568]
The man suddenly let out a dark chuckle. "Fine, but you better keep your end of the bargain. I want him alive and kicking after coming back! If I find even a single hair missing on his body, you better plan your funeral!"
After saying this, he instantly disappeared from the space at the same time when Tyler's body in the green space fell unconscious.
