The entire video was uploaded to the internet, and the live stream was immediately shut
down.
Karen Lynn’s face was pale as she grabbed Charlie Lewis, crying hysterically.
“This isn’t how it is! That’s not me! This isn’t real!”
“We’re just friends, and this only happened because we were drunk. You have to believe me!” Charlie Lewis shoved her away. Zack Reaves caught her awkwardly and dragged her away from the scene.
What was supposed to be Karen Lynn’s comeback live stream turned into a public scandal. She screamed and cried, but she was paralyzed.
Leaning against the door, I watched with malicious glee.
Karen Lynn, I told you I’d make your life miserable, and so I shall.
The scandal raged all night, with many digging up videos of Karen Lynn acting like a diva on set and even slapping staff members.
One by one, people came forward to accuse her of having a flawed character.
Seeing this good news before heading home is just… satisfying.
Zack Reaves rushed Karen Lynn out of the country, where she’ll face the harsh reality of a foreign prison.
And after serving her time abroad, she’ll have to return.
Unless something unexpected happens, she’s destined to spend the rest of her life behind
bars.
Only one day left until I can go home.
Charlie Lewis has been trying to find me lately, but he can’t.
Karen Lynn’s actions have implicated him, resulting in the cancellation of multiple
endorsement deals and hefty breach–of–contract penalties.
After being blacklisted in the industry, his former enemies were quick to jump on the bandwagon and kick him while he was down.
They accused him of cheating and tax evasion.
He used all his earnings from over the years to pay off the debts, and now he’s penniless.
Two hours before heading home, I endured the pain, checked myself out of the hospital, and
took a cab to the beach to clear my head.
I love the beach. The first time I tried to win over Charlie Lewis, I suddenly appeared here and
watched him slowly walk to the shore alone.
It was late then, much like it is now, and I was the only one around.
My gut told me he was trying to kill himself.
Before the System could even tell me anything about this world, I immediately rushed to
save him.
Charlie Lewis choked, his face flushed red, and his big eyes looked so pitiful.

Before the System could even tell me anything about this world, I immediately rushed to
save him.
Charlie Lewis choked, his face flushed red, and his big eyes looked so pitiful.
Later, I learned that this beautiful man was Charlie Lewis.
In a daze, I noticed someone next to me–Charlie Lewis.
He looked much more haggard after just one day, and he asked me cautiously.
“Can I sit here?”
I’m going home,” I agreed with a generous nod.
“Sit down.”
After a long silence, he suddenly spoke.
“I’m sorry.”
I was surprised to hear those words coming from Charlie Lewis.
I can’t just say it’s okay, not after everything he’s done.
Then he continued, “I had a dream last night.”
“I dreamed that you’d already tried to win me over twice, and this is the third time.”
“In the dream, the first time was when you rescued me here.”
As he spoke, he suddenly laughed, looking at me with hopeful anticipation.
“Do you think this is fate giving me a chance to win you back?”
I chuckled softly and said calmly.
“Then you clearly didn’t dream about what happened the first two times.”
Charlie Lewis was stunned, then looked a little embarrassed.
“This is the third time you’ve chosen Karen Lynn over me.”
“How could that be? You’re the one I love most!”
Charlie Lewis rushed to argue, but I just smiled, shrugged, and didn’t bother.
“How much time do you have left?”
The System answered for me.
“Half an hour each.”
“Just you wait.”

Charlie Lewis stood up and ran quickly towards the distance. Half an hour later, I suddenly saw huge fireworks erupting before my eyes.
Charlie Lewis shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Shirley Chow, I like you!”
He’d bought a lot of them and ran, lighting one after another in quick succession.
With only a minute left, he came running, panting, and stared intently, asking eagerly. “When you go back home, will you still remember me?”
I shook my head decisively.
“No.”

“The fireworks are beautiful, but I don’t want to remember them, or anything associated with
them.”

“The fireworks are beautiful, but I don’t want to remember them, or anything associated with
them.”
The corners of Charlie Lewis’s mouth slowly turned downwards.
As the System counted down.
My body gradually became transparent before disappearing completely.
“Ten.”
Charlie Lewis panicked, desperately hugging me as tears fell onto
“I’m sorry.”
my
shoulder.
“Nine.”
“I’ve done so many terrible things, but I truly regret them.”
“Eight.”
“I don’t deserve your forgiveness, just please don’t forget me.”
“Seven.”
“Shirley Chow, loving you is the only right thing I’ve ever done.”
“Six.”
“I love you.”
Then, for the next five seconds, I faded away in his arms, despite his desperate grip.
He sobbed, repeating the words he’d just spoken.
Finally, I said softly.
“I hate you. I’ll just forget you. Goodbye.”
With that, I plunged into a void, and the System sent me back to my own world.
Shirley Chow really did disappear in his arms.
Charlie Lewis watched her turn into shattered starlight, bit by bit, in his arms, and then
vanish.
He could only remain there, arms still in a hugging position, crying himself hoarse.
He’d never imagined losing someone could hurt so much.
If he’d known how things would end, he definitely wouldn’t have acted out and deliberately
teased her just for fun.
Charlie Lewis stood up and slowly walked home.
“That’s him!”
Several voices called out from behind him, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Sensing danger, Charlie Lewis ran forward desperately.
He was cornered. His pursuer, looking fierce, held a knife.
Unable to dodge, he repeatedly asked,
“Who are you?”
They wore masks and merely sneered.
“You don’t need to know.”

When I opened the door, my mother, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, was there, urging me
to eat.
The System hadn’t left yet. It told me that after I left, Charlie Lewis was murdered on his way
home.
He died a violent death.
His last words were my name.
I sighed, feeling a pang of regret that such a young man had died so tragically.
The System couldn’t help but ask.
“Do you even remember who he was?”
I blinked, confused.
“I don’t remember.”
“But anyone who can be so easily forgotten couldn’t have been a good person, right?”
The System didn’t reply. It just sighed in relief and quietly deposited a sum of money intc

account.
And with that, it disappeared from my world.
The End
