’Okay,’ •_•

’MARVIS, where did you vanish the third task?’

’There had been some new updates to the system a week ago, Host.’ •_•

’Wait, does that mean I’ve to do one task?’

’Both,’ •_•

"Fahh...k"

Nyle’s normal expression slowly faded, his brows lowering as his lips pressed into a thin line, leaving him looking slightly dejected.

’Man, It’s too sunny here. I should get back home first,’ he thought, lifting a hand to shield his eyes from the sun.

He then pulled out his phone, a slight crack running across one corner. He pressed the power button, but nothing happened. The screen remained black, as though the phone had no battery.

"At least I always keep a hundred-xollar bill in my phone cover," he murmured.

...

*Click~*

He stepped into the room, and the door groaned softly behind him. Dust drifted through the stale air, glowing faintly in the thin beam of light slipping through the window.

The room smelled of dry wood, old paper, and the musty interior of a cupboard that had remained for weeks.

*Sigh~*

Half an hour later, Nyle finished sweeping. He then plugged his phone into the charger, pressed the power button, and waited as the screen flickered to life.

The moment the device connected to the internet, notifications poured in like rain striking a tin roof.

*Ting~ Ting~ Ting~ Ting~*

The sounds continued without pause, each chime overlapping the last. The phone vibrated against the table, skittering slightly with every incoming alert.

For several minutes, the relentless ringing filled the room.

When it finally stopped, Nyle stared at the screen.

The notification bar was packed from edge to edge.

99+ missed calls from Lana, Fiona, Carmilla, and Amelia.

99+ messages from Lana, Fiona, Carmilla, and Amelia.

*Ring~*

Before he could open any of them, Lana’s name appeared on the screen.

"Hello?" Nyle answered.

For the next few minutes, they spoke about his health, his job, his work, and everything else she could think of. Her voice carried a nervous warmth, as though she were trying to hide how worried she truly was.

"...You know how much I missed you. It’s so hard to get through a day without you. Send me your location. I’m coming right now," Lana said, her concern unmistakable.

"I... uh, I need some sleep now, Lana. I’m exhausted," Nyle replied, rubbing his eyes.

There was a brief silence on the other end.

"Okay... bye. Take care," she said softly.

*Click~*

Nyle lowered the phone and released a long breath.

’Phew... I can tell her intentions are more than what she’s saying—’

*Creak...*

Before he could finish the thought, the main door swung open with a long, splintering groan.

Fiona suddenly stepped inside, her hurried footsteps echoing across the dusty floor.

"Nyle... where have you been—"

Her voice died in her throat.

She froze in the doorway, her eyes dropping to the bandages wrapped tightly around his arms. A moment later, her gaze climbed to the white dressing circling his forehead.

The color drained from her face.

"What happened to you?"

...

*Sniff~ Sniff~*

"Woah, you’ve gone through so much. And I didn’t even visit you in the hospital," Fiona said with a sob in her eyes.

’Heh... she easily believed my fake story,’ Nyle thought.

"Honey, where are you?!" Roland’s voice echoed in the hallway.

"Over here," she replied out loud.

Roland entered the room and said, "What are you doing here—"

He froze.

...

’Marvis, hurry and show me how the cuck capsule works!’ Nyle ordered in his mind.

————

Cuck capsule: A negative-effect capsule that tricks the consumer’s brain. It makes their wife appear unattractive and filters her out of certain scenes.

If they catch her getting fucked, they only see the other man — their wife is erased from the mental picture.

It’s weakness: Any physical contact from the consumer has a 90% chance of breaking the effect.

The effect lasts three hours and cannot be stacked.

[ Select your amount: 00/10 [+] ] <[ BUY ]>

Total Capsules remaining: 10

Cost: 9TC

————

’What the... nine coins? Marvis, how many coins do I have?’ Nyle asked in his mind.

’Currently, eighty-one,’ •_•

’Alright, buy one.’

...

*Tremble~ Tremble~*

"Sir, please have some water," Nyle said, extending a glass to Roland.

"Aw... Nyle, you don’t have to do that. If you just say so, I would get it for you," Fiona said, grabbing the glass of water.

"You’re right, sweetheart. Nyle, you shouldn’t be doing these kinds of hard things. You should rest properly for now," Roland said before drinking the glass in one go.

*Glug~ Glug~ Glug~*

’Don’t worry about me, Sir Roland. Worry about yourself,’ Nyle thought.

A brief silence settled between them for a moment before Roland—

*Burp~*

"I think I should go. Rest well, Nyle. And if you need anything, don’t hesitate to call me."

Saying that, Roland simply turned around and left the room without even glancing at her wife, sitting beside him.

Fiona’s face froze in shock.

"...Roland?" she called out softly, almost as if she couldn’t believe he had actually left without looking at her.

No answer came.

Only the sound of his footsteps fading down the hallway remained.

Nyle slowly climbed onto the bed and lay down, acting as though every movement caused a sharp pain to shoot through his body.

"Agh... ouch... agh...! It hurts so much," he groaned.

"Let me help you," Fiona said, grabbing his arms.

But that was exactly what Nyle wanted all along.
