After arriving at his dilapidated apartment, without opening the lights, Tangtang sluggishly walked and wearily slumped his body on the thin mattress. He felt sticky all over and wanted to take a bath, but he didn't have any energy to move.

He casually looked at the wall clock with illuminated numbers.

It is already 2:36 am.

Covering his eyes with his arm, he sighed. 'So tired!'

He needs to wake up every day at 4 am to work up until 10 am as a kitchen assistant in a small restaurant in their neighborhood and attend class at 11 am. At 6 pm, he needs to go to XX Nightclub to work as a bartender.

In his free time, he will make essays and documentation for his schoolmates to earn a little pocket money.

On Saturday, he will work on a bakery owned by Grandma Wang.

On Sunday, he can work as logistic staff on a construction site with the help of Uncle Chen, who is a foreman.

Grandma Wang and Uncle Chen were good friends of his late grandmother.

That is why, after his grandmother passed away two years ago, the two helped him a lot and offered him a job once a week to help with his finances.

With all of this job, it is still barely enough for his tuition fees and living expenses. And because of his bad luck, other than the job in the bakery and construction site, he always encountered trouble. He is either harassed or fired without any valid reason.

Like today, he was fired by the owner of the small restaurant, accusing him of seducing his old husband. After that, his university sent another notice that if he didn't settle his outstanding tuition fee, he would be expelled despite his good academic standing.

His scholarship is stripped off because of the sudden new regulation that students were not allowed to work in a bar or nightclub. Based on the dean's words, he is ruining the so-called university's reputation. That is why he is pressured to settle his remaining tuition fee in full to continue his studies.

They didn't even give him a chance to explain or change jobs. As far as he knows, he is not the only one working on this place.

One of the board members, a fat man with a bald head, even tried to offer a deal. In exchange for a scholarship, he will become the ugly man's sex slave.

Of course, he rejected that baldy with a punch in the face before fleeing away—maybe one of the reasons the university is now giving him a deadline.

Pushing him on a dead end.

His life seemed to be getting worse and worse the more he worked hard and studied diligently—as if everyone was telling him to give up and be happy with what he already had.

He had long since given up, were it not for his grandmother's final request before she passed away. He's already worn out both emotionally and physically but can only continue living numbly.

He glanced at the wall clock again. '2:58'

Tangtang propped up his body to get his earphones on the cupboard, put them on his ears, and slumped back again on the mattress. He then played his favorite album on the loop. Taylor Swift's Reputation.

Tomorrow... No, it should be today. He needs to find another job, and if he has free time in the evening, he will visit a relatively secluded bar to find a partner for the night to vent out his pent-up stress and satisfy his cravings for a big guy.

Let him sleep for two hours.

As the tiredness overcame him, he slowly fell into a deep slumber, oblivious to the thick smoke slowly seeping into the cracks of the walls. The loud music drowned the screams outside the door.

________________.

In one of the galaxies in the vast universe, a relatively small planet known as Eden was surrounded by bright and different-colored stars, floating freely, ignoring the gravity that kept the other planets in their orbits. Smoothly maneuvering to avoid the asteroids and meteorites that are coming on its way.

This peculiar planet has only one season, spring. And despite not having a sun and moon, it still has a normal day and night.

Flowers that emit a fragrant smell that can regain vitality and trees that bear fruits that can cure any ailments and prolong life filled its whole land; they never decayed or withered.

At the top of the mountains, Pegasus and Sparkles freely run and fly, treating it as their playground, and behind the wide mountain range covered with fog and clouds, a big furry body can be vaguely seen sleeping soundly.

Younglings of phoenix were perched proudly atop branches, flexing their fiery red feathers.

At the clear blue ocean, mermaids can be heard singing along with the sirens, making melodious sounds that can make anyone feel calm and relaxed. In the deep part of the ocean, a big, scaled body was swaying along with the wonderful sounds that cause big waves from time to time.

Fairies were watering the flower beds to maintain their vibrancy while gnomes were harvesting fruits that could be offered as snacks for the visiting gods.

Peaceful and full of liveliness. 

And at the heart of this picturesque place stood a large, ten-story gazebo crafted from priceless crystals and diamonds, decorated with various treasures around it as if it were nothing.

A perfect planet where gods and goddesses can find leisure and mythical creatures can live together harmoniously.

And with the presence of the three goddesses that represent harmony and elegance, Eden has become more lively today.

Sitting elegantly on the throne made of beautifully crafted gems, the three were enjoying their rare sisters time. 

"I heard that you bestow a unique gift on a young man in Earth 178 under Ergia. She is having a headache now," Rosyne said teasingly to Thali.

"Hmmp! The child is so pitiful, why not give him what he wants? After all, as long as their devotion is strong, giving a gift or two is no problem." Thali proudly answered without feeling any remorse. She believed that she didn't do anything wrong.

"But the Earth 17869 is not part of your territory, and that talent is..." Glae sighed.

Rosyne laughs loudly. 

Gods have the power to grant gifts to any beings that are devoted to them. It is to reciprocate the divination they were receiving. Still, an unspoken rule existed. It is not to cause disorder or any disturbance in another god's territory.

But the gift Thali has bestowed has started to disrupt the balance of that world because of its peculiarity.

"It is Ergia's fault she is so lazy to manage her territory. I'm just helping a little," Thali still said stubbornly, but she is starting to be a little worried because once their father knows what she has done, she will be seriously reprimanded.

Rosyne teasing and laughing out loud is not helping but making her more worried. Thali slightly pinched her sister's arm, which earned a much louder laugh from the goddess of merriment.

The two keep on teasing and talking to each other, not noticing the changing expression of their youngest sister. Their laughter came to an abrupt halt when a sudden, strong fluctuation of divine power came from Glae.

"NO!!!" 

A deafening scream reverberated across the whole planet, ruining its serenity.

Alerted by the sudden, strong fluctuation of their youngest sister's emotion,

Rosyne immediately hugged Glae, soothing her with her own powers. 

"What happened?" Thali worriedly asked. Seeing Glae trembling and crying uncontrollably, they didn't know how to comfort her.

Aside from Oizy, who always cries, they never saw any god or goddess in as much distress as their sister right now. Rosyne and Thali anxiously looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Rosyne used her powers as he gently patted Glae's back while Thali started playing soothing music with different instruments.

With the help of the combined powers of the two, Glae soon began to calm down, but the tears still trickled down on her stunning face like beads as she mumbled. "M-my son... My precious son.."

They still clearly don't know what really happened, but one thing is now certain: something happened to their nephew.

Whatever it is, it surely is not a good thing since it can cause so much distress to their youngest sister.

A newborn god blessed by three graces? No one can lay their hands on him or kill him.

Unless ... Rosyne and Thali's expression darkened, and their emotions started to fluctuate too, which scared every living thing in Eden and alerted some of the gods nearby.

The three graces who were known to love harmony are now in chaos.

It is surely not a good omen.

"LEAVE! GET OUT!!"

In a luxurious presidential suite on the highest floor of the most famous five-star hotel in Country A, several waiters and attendants can be seen running out after hearing the angry roar of the VIP guest inside.

Only a man in a suit was left behind. His handsome face is full of worry as he knocks on the door of the room. "Ah-jin, what's wrong? Please open the door."

But the young man curled up in a big bed didn't answer. His whole body is trembling and drenched in sweat. His eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were bleeding after biting them too hard. 

He groans and sometimes screams in pain.

"AHHH! It hurts!"

'SYSTEM! SYSTEM HELP ME!'

He rolled and pounded the soft bed, but the pain didn't lessen even a bit. The intense pain is making him crazy. He crawled and started to knock his head on the headboard.

The pain of his soul tearing apart is so painful. He wanted to lose consciousness, but he couldn't. The pain is so intense that he can't even cry. 

'System...'

"System help..." He groaned.

Instead of the cold mechanical voice of the system, a blaring red screen pops up in front of him repeatedly.

[WARNING!]

[WARNING!]

[WARNING!]

'What's happening?'

'System!!' He keeps on calling to the powerful system that always helps him in his every mission.

[WARNING!]

[Host...]

'System? What's happening? Please help me lessen the pain.'

The pain is still intense, but he felt relieved after hearing the familiar voice.

[Host the mission on this world failed. We need to leave now.]

'What do you mean, failed? Help me lessen the pain first and explain what is happening.'

[I can't. The pain is from the world rejecting us. We need to leave now or we will perish together with this world.]

'What do you mean?'

[No time to explain host.]

[Ejecting to this world in 10... 9... 8...] 

At the start of the countdown, the pain greatly subsides.

Seo Jin was reluctant at first, but if ejecting from this world will help completely relieve the pain, staying will never be an option. 

Hearing Yu Yan on the other side of the door knocking with a voice full of worries makes him feel a little warm, but he always loves himself more than anyone else.

Ignoring the handsome man's call, he urges the system to leave immediately.

Seo Jin didn't know what happened. The system doesn't have time to answer his questions.

The world's mission is to make the main target fall in love with him and be successful in life, which is only classified as class C. After traversing different worlds, he is confident to finish this kind of mission. Unfortunately, an unknown circumstance happened.

[7... 6... 5... 4...]

He is also fortunate to have met a person who is surrounded by too much luck—much more than the mission target in this world.

It is a rare occurrence. Importantly, that person is not a cannon fodder or even mentioned in the plot and will unlikely affect the development of his mission. That is why he didn't hesitate to slowly plunder all his luck. 

The more luck he gets in each world, the stronger he gets, and more functions will open in the system.

It also helped him advance his mission much earlier. He thought that he could go to another world after being intimate with the main target for a few years, but now, before he even enjoys the man, he needs to leave.

[3... 2... 1...]

He sighed.

He blew a flying kiss to the mission target before letting the system take him.

It is a pity, but he can still indulge himself in many handsome men in the next worlds.

Goodbye, my love.

This is the end for this world.
