Capítulo 23: Chapter Twenty Three - The System Notification

Tyler finally got his wish. He was alone in a room, and David had been kicked out brutally. The latter's expressions had turned into what seemed like a pitiful dog who his owner had bullied.

If it weren't for the situation, Tyler would've found it funny, but sadly, David had broken Tyler's trust, and the latter was hesitant to trust him ever again.

He laid back on his bed with his leg dangling above his knees, completely in a relaxed posture. Just as he was about to fall asleep, a loud annoying ringing noise in his head disturbed him.

It was his stupid system! Wait, wasn't his system under maintenance? He couldn't use any tab other than the camera before! But now, everything was normal as if nothing had ever happened!

But he didn't have time to focus on this since the system constantly rang in his head, giving him a migraine.

Cursing the system under his breath, he clicked open the interface only to see the notification panel covered with error statements in bold letters.

He frowned at that and clicked open the tab on the top.

[Dear User306,

We have to announce this unfortunate news to you that this world's storyline has messed so much that we have no choice but to send your consciousness to another world. We are regretful for any convenience we might have caused due to this, but we will make it up to you in the next world.

PS: this world will disrupt within six days.

Enjoy your stay until then.]

Tyler's eyes widened at that. He knew that system would do something sooner or later, but announcing that his role as villain would end here within six days was spontaneous. He was stunned, but he regained his composure after a few minutes and closed the system.

He was already punished for dying after a few days. So the system notification really didn't matter. But he feared that David's effect was more significant on the system than he had imagined.

It was a relief that he wouldn't have to spend more time with such a male lead than six days. It would be even better if he successfully avoided David's presence until the end of this world.

He knew about his feelings for this person. So he didn't want to spend more time with him. Or else he would really end up falling for him!

He at least wanted to investigate David properly, but he didn't have much time in this world. So he could only think of getting out of this world for now to protect his heart.

On the other side, David just sat down on another empty cell when he got a message instead of notifications on his system. It was slightly different because Tyler couldn't reply to that message earlier, but David could.

[Dear @#&()vdj,]

David rolled his eyes after seeing this kind of weird username and ignored it completely, continuing to read what was written ahead.

[You have successfully disrupted the storyline. We had repeatedly warned you against it, but you still ended going for it. Now, we are forced to end it within six days; otherwise, something terrible will happen.]

It seemed like the person typing these words and sending this message to him was angry. Ah, did he make it difficult for the higher-ups by forcing the arc forward like this?

[We will select the next world for you, and no, you won't be able to have it easier way around. We will put certain restrictions on you as well. From the next world, you will get to OOC, but within a limit. You won't be able to turn the entire story around like in this world.

Please understand, sir. We are helpless as well. If you want to fulfill your goal, please make sure to do everything within a limit.

Yours faithfully (Although crying because of so much work),

User568]

David imagined the crying face of the higher-ups handling the situation and almost laughed. He opened the keyboard and typed.

[Respected User568,

I appreciate your help, but how do you expect me to fulfill my goal without letting me OOC? Do you really think our collective goal would be fulfilled, especially when it concerns Tyler while following the character settings? I don't think so. It would just make it even worse.

Please stop eating and drinking water as well. This is a matter of life and death. Can't you make simple sacrifices?

And, this was your fault. Why did you delay in sending that information? I wasted so many months, and the deadline is already near. How do you expect me to get that thing without forcing the arc like this?

Yours faithfully (cracking my knuckles in anger),]

David thought of a moment before copying the same username as mentioned earlier.

[@#&()vdj]

He reread it repeatedly before being satisfied enough, clicking the send button at the bottom.

To his surprise, the reply came instantly.

[Dear @#&()vdj,

Please don't crack your knuckles. We are really working overtime here! I haven't gone to the cafeteria for a long time already! My subordinates are feeding me with spoons! Please have mercy, sir!

Yours faithfully (Really crying this time),

User568]

David squinted his eyes. It seemed the higher-ups ignored his complaint against the delayed info case.

He knew this person who was messaging here in the system. He would deal with that person later. For now, he really needed a solution for this. So he continued to type.

[Respected User 568,

Then stop sleeping. I don't care what you do, just keep working!

Yours faithfully (I'll deal with you later),

@#&()vdj]

He waited, waited, and waited. And when he felt like the higher-ups won't reply, he received a message.

[Respected @#&()vdj,

Sir, we respectfully bow down at your feet and pray to you, please don't do anything stupid in the next world! Think of Mr. Tyler! What would he do if he knew about your deeds? He would really kill you!]

'No need to remind me. I already know that.' David thought sarcastically. If Tyler's memories were intact, the first person he would lash on was David! He pursed his lips and continued to read.

[So, sir, we kindly request you to keep yourself in check in the next world. It's really okay if you don't want to follow character settings, but we really can't handle it if you're going to avoid arcs as well.

If the arc says that you and Mr. Tyler had to be present at a specific place, you will have to go there. And even if Mr. Tyler doesn't follow the character settings of a villain, someone else will take his position, and Mr. Tyler will automatically become either another lead or a cannon folder.

So you will have to follow the arc accordingly. If Mr. Tyler ends up becoming another lead, and it's a bed scene, you two would have to enter the bedroom! You can go to sleep if you don't really want to do that kind of stuff *cough* with him.

What we need is for you to follow the storyline! You are the male lead, for God's sake!

PS: I just spent a lot of time and money just to message you. Please don't waste my time.

Yours faithfully (turning off the chat window),

User568]

David didn't reply back and closed the chat window that was explicitly meant for him. He knew it wasn't easy for the higher-ups to contact him like this. First, the disruption in the flow of the transmigrating system's time might affect the world if someone from the outside tries to message a person inside the world.

Second, it might take the higher-ups an additional amount of money to initiate the contact, which meant his one month's worth of salary.

And third, it involved many risks. But David himself was taking a big risk by forcing the arc to the end in his first world itself. But he didn't have any other choice. Time was limited.

He narrowed his eyes at that. It was all because that damned person among the higher-ups didn't give him that information sooner. So he had wasted a lot of time.

According to that information, the thing he had to obtain was hidden inside the prison, and it had a time limit: the exact date at which Tyler would be hanged to death.

So David had no choice but to take this risk.

Let me warn you guys, if I were you, I'd prepare tissues in advance. The end of this arc is approaching, and it's, well even I was emotional while writing it. So...

I'm sorry for making you guys cry!
