Chapter Twenty Eight - In The Green Space

When Tyler opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by greenery. The grass around him was almost as tall as his face as he continued to lie on the ground.

His entire body was glued to the ground, and he couldn't lift even his finger.

But the situation looked weird. Above him, birds chirped as he heard the sound of a stream flowing somewhere near him.

It was a delightful atmosphere, but this made Tyler confused. Where was he?

Before he could get even more bewildered, he received a notification. He clicked open the system only to see a message.

[Respected User306,

Welcome to the resting place. After collecting 5% of your power, we were able to bring you out of the vicious cycle of transmigrating for half an hour. You can rest for a while, and you won't have to do anything in this world.

The body given to you is made out of your original constitution. Unfortunately, you won't be able to move your body since only 5% of your power has been recovered.

But we have given you the option of voice command. You can run the system using your voice.

Enjoy your stay, and after half an hour, you'll be sent to your next world.]

Was he getting a break all of a sudden? Why was this system being so considerate? The last time he remembered this system was the same thing that had put restrictions on him for God knows how long. He no longer remembered that.

Only after a few centuries of transmigration from one world to another did the restrictions stop.

And now, the system was being considerate for once?

Tyler couldn't digest this fact. At this time, his thoughts suddenly turned to David. Even thinking about him made his breathing choke up in his throat.

He still remembered how the previous world ended. And he had finally realized why David had forcefully sent him to prison.

It was to help him recover his 5% of power. That male lead had probably gotten a message like that from the system about finding such a thing.

But who was he?

What happened to him after Tyler left the world?

He still didn't know. But he could find the answer to the second question.

"Open system interface." The system popped up again before his eyes. "Previous world settings." The menu opened, and another window appeared filled with codes and random buttons. "The storyline after the host left."

There were two options. One was to watch a video, and another was to read. Even though he preferred reading, he wanted to see David once again.

The latter hadn't really betrayed him. Rather David didn't have any other choice. And this was the fastest way out in such a short amount of time.

And Tyler didn't know when they would meet again.

Even thinking about it turned the rim of his eyes red.

He could've at least thanked that person.

"Play the video."

And the video appeared telling him everything that had transpired in the story for fifty years.

***

In the story, he found that they all blamed David for killing him. They suspected that he had killed Tyler in the coal mine. The latter didn't say anything, just lowered his head and calmly asked for the surveillance records.

After going through the records, it proved that the ones who killed Tyler were the sumo wrestlers, and strict actions were taken against them.

David's sentence ended after two months, and he did everything he could to take Tyler's body away, saying the latter didn't have a family other than himself.

At this time, Alex was very satisfied after seeing Tyler's death, and David was even seen glaring coldly at that person all the time.

After two months, the police didn't have a choice but to take out Tyler's body from the morgue and send it to David's apartment.

David, unlike others, didn't plan an extravagant funeral. Instead, he brought a refrigerator coffin and stored Tyler's body inside.

"The two of us should've finished this game, shouldn't we?" He had glanced back at the dead body of Tyler stored in the glass coffin so securely that it almost felt like the latter was sleeping. "Let's do this then."

Seeing that, Tyler's eyes moistened, but he still took a few deep breaths to control himself and continued to watch.

After six months of efforts where David wouldn't even sleep for three or four consecutive nights, nor would he focus on replenishing his health, the game finally went live.

Along with that, the news that Tyler Smith had died finally reached several ears, and David also announced to give him a very grand funeral. Even Tyler's assistant approached David and handed him the software company!

The game was also exceptional. It was a VR experience, and David even included a function specifically for himself. He created an artificial version of Tyler that would roam around his home and occasionally talk to him. It was just that David had to keep wearing the VR headset, and the latter wore that 24/7.

He would just sit on his couch and keep staring at the artificially created Tyler and sigh in distress, saying, "Still not him."

"F*ck." In reality, after watching this scene, Tyler couldn't help but curse this guy.

What kind of movies was this guy watching recently? This pure obsession inclined more toward romance than brotherhood! Tyler had thought David never had feelings for him, but when did the male lead start to see him that way?

And when exactly did this person become sappy?! When Tyler was alive, David would always stick to him like a little puppy and tease him until he would get sick of it.

And now, the male lead was acting like an abandoned dog who still missed his master. Then the dog suddenly got an artificial version of his master, so the poor animal would just coil around him all the time, still daring to say that the artificial one wasn't him!

Of course, how could the real person compare to the artificial one?!

But David's acts only became worse and worse. He would occasionally order the artificial Tyler to sleep on the same bed as him and even ordered the latter to strip off his clothes.

Tyler closed his eyes and fast-forwarded the video. This kind of slag man would never change his ways!

He was still a perverted fellow!

He just hoped that the male lead wouldn't ask his artificial version to do something even more shameful.

Even thinking about it made Tyler's ears red.

After a few years, David's face was filled with wrinkles, but he just wouldn't let go of that artificial Tyler! Everyone across the world now knew about David's obsession with it.

Even Elsa, who was the new owner of David's gaming firm, helplessly watched from the sideline as David continued to show off his love filled with angst.

The people watching him like this could only cry.

Tyler saw these scenes and closed his eyes, fast-forwarding with a shaky breath. His emotions were out of control, and he feared that he was so moved by this person's actions that he had already fallen deeply in love with him!

There was seriously no way out for him!

But where could he see him next time?

'Probably never.' A sarcastic voice spoke in his mind, crushing Tyler's heart into pieces.

He had missed out on such an excellent opportunity to "eat" someone as adorable as David.
