I watched the stream of comments fly by, my brow furrowed. I’d forgotten to even blink.
The “guy” they were talking about had to be Reik Thorne, the man destabilizing this entire world.
And all those failed candidates–that must be why the System had warned me so relentlessly about him.
The System had seemingly tried everything.
So why did it believe that I, so painfully ordinary, could possibly complete this mission and pacify Reik Thorne?
As I pondered this, the phantom text shifted its focus to me.
[Honestly, though, the only thing keeping him stable all these years isn’t some replacement or candidate-]
[It’s the son his dead wife left him.
[She left without a trace, except for that boy.】
¡He’s Reik’s only remaining connection to this world.]
[Otherwise, with how insane he was in those first few years, he would have destroyed the world and himself, joining his wife in death long ago.]
【That’s why all those candidates failed, without exception.]
[His wife was his white moonlight, his one true love.]
[She’s the only sacred ground left in his heart.]
[He would never allow anyone to tarnish her memory by wearing her face or stealing her identity.]
[That’s why all those fakes died, each one more miserably than the last.]
[So what about this one?]
[This plain, unprepared, completely unremarkable candidate?]
[How many days will she last?]
-They even started placing bets.
[bet she dies the next time she meets him.]
[I’m in ]
【Me too]
Then, someone posted a laughing emoji-
[LOL, she took a pretty nasty fall just now ]
[And it’s snowing hard.]
[We don’t even know if she’ll survive the night…]
