The System says I have to win over an obsessive villain to get home.
In the first world, he’s a regent with power over the entire court, and he treats me as a substitute.
On the day I complete my mission, he hugs me from behind, his arms trembling as he winds my hair around his fingers and refuses to let go.
“I don’t know who you are, but you can’t leave.”
In the second world, he’s a cold, ruthless CEO, and he treats me like a pawn.
Drunk, he grabs my hand and says with bloodshot eyes, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
In the third world, he’s a decisive warlord who treats me like a prisoner.
When he’s gravely wounded and unconscious, the name he calls out is mine.
In every world, at some point, he looks at me and softly says,
“I think… I’ve seen you smile before.”
I thought it was all just a mission.
Until the sixth world, just before I disappear, he suddenly says,
“I remember now. Your name is Jin Wan.”
The System flashes a red warning:
“Unknown force detected. He’s coming after you.”
So across three thousand worlds, he’s been waiting for me all along.
For three thousand years.
