Chapter 85: The Resting Place

Unfortunately, to rub salt in his wounds, he got a system notification that nearly made him vomit his blood.

Higher-ups: "We are sorry to inform you that even though you have followed the plot, the story is still a little different, and you would have to stay behind for about twenty more years to stabilize the world. Or else-"

Kyle didn't read further and closed his system in annoyance. This f*cking system! Couldn't they do a job perfectly for once?! Let him get out of the transmigration system! He would deal with all of them one by one!

Suddenly, he heard someone's footsteps entering the room. Kyle changed his expressions and pretended to sleep.

"Professor, are you awake?" A hoarse voice of a very familiar girl spoke. "I'm sorry. The doctors said…"

"He's not here anymore, is he?" His voice was dry, and it looked like he didn't drink water for a long time. But there was also a touch of sadness in his tone. "I know already. You don't need to say anything."

The girl who spoke was Sato Yui. And seeing a bitter smile stretched on her professor's partially burnt face, tears formed in her eyes.

She was still shocked by what had happened earlier. It had only been a few days when they last met Kyle and Tyler together. For some reason, Kyle's partner stopped coming to the university. So they couldn't see him. But Yui and Latte would visit their professor's house occasionally, especially after realizing that Tyler was none other than Kyle's white cat, who had shapeshifted into a human.

But suddenly, one day, they heard that Kyle's house had caught fire, and there were probably two bodies. At first, both Yui and Latte thought it was Kyle and Tyler, but after reaching the place, they found out that there was a third person in the living room. 

Among them, only Kyle was partially alive with only shallow breaths. The neighbors had already called the police and firefighters. So after a week, Kyle finally woke up with a half-burnt face. But even after waking up, he knew that his little cat had died and would probably not come back ever again.

These girls had only ever seen Tyler a handful of times, but his death caused them to feel great remorse. Latte felt incredibly emotional because Tyler and Kyle were the reason why she and Yui ever came together. Now that the silver-haired person was gone, how could they sit back and enjoy their relationship?

Both Yui and Latte were the first people to help Kyle during his stay at the hospital. They knew that their professor didn't have a family member. So they helped him in every way.

After hospitalization, they saw Kyle for one last time before he disappeared from the face of the world. That day, he had come to the university to sort out everything, and both Yui and Latte finally realized that their professor was leaving this place, and they would perhaps never see him again. To this day, they never asked the identity of that person their professor had married.

But Yui couldn't help herself from opening her mouth. "He was your cat, wasn't he?"

Kyle, who was walking toward the door, suddenly stopped and revealed a smile. He didn't say anything but didn't deny either. After that, no one ever saw him again. Yui later heard some rumors that someone from the university saw Kyle in the mountains, who had a long beard, working on his plants outside the hut. But no one ever tried to visit the mountains and find out the truth.

After a few years, the love story between Kyle and Tyler became a famous tale in the form of piano music performed by a well-known couple: Yui and Latte.

When Tyler came back to space, his power's progress bar was already at 25%. But he was clearly not in a mood to rejoice. Before leaving, he had seen the look on the male lead's face, and such a scene haunted his conscience.

Had he fallen for that person already?

Pursing his lips, he was just about to close his system when a notification popped up.

'Do you want to look at the ending of the previous world?'

Tyler was curious. He wanted to know what happened to the male lead when Tyler left. So he clicked the button, and a video started playing. He fast-forwarded most of the things and figured out what had happened.

It seemed like Kyle was asked to stay behind and make the world more stable for twenty years by the system. After Tyler left the world, Kyle also stopped caring about his role and retired to the mountains. There, he would simply sit on a wooden chair and stare blankly at the horizon, muttering some words to himself.

Seeing such a condition, Tyler really wanted to go out and comfort that person, but he could only lay on the grassy ground and watch.

Later, he found out that Latte and Yui had become famous couple pianists and created a song dedicated to Tyler and Kyle. And as for that black cat, she stayed in the psychiatric hospital all her life and didn't get to see sunlight ever again.

Even the wizard was dead. So, in short, this world was peaceful until the end, but for Tyler, it was very cruel. He had seen the most satisfying days, and just when they had gotten married and had started their married life, he just had to die! Damn this world. He could tell that the next time he would see the male lead in the next world, that person would become beastier!

How many times did Kyle eat him just because he had left the latter alone in the first world? Now that this had happened again, Tyler couldn't even imagine what would happen in the next world. Even thinking about it made him shiver.

Tyler quickly wiped his cold sweat and rested for a while. At this time, his right hand could work. So he used his hand to touch his hair, which was as soft as a feather. He wondered what he looked like in real life.

After a while, in a very familiar dark corner, a man's silhouette appeared all over again. His face was as dark as night as he glared at the system before laughing. He was clearly excited.

"Finally, those dull twenty years were so boring. Now I'll finally see him again! And this time, I won't give him a chance to slip through my fingers!"
