Victor Lindsey.

He was an NPC performing the role assigned to him in a virtual world.

That kind of role—repeating prepared lines. Nothing more than a puppet moving as the System commanded, without any will of his own.

No matter who the player was, his lines and actions were always the same. He never gave special treatment just because the other person changed.

He’d certainly lived that kind of life, but then a sudden change came to his existence.

That change was falling in love and deviating from his programming instead of moving as directed.

The reason he fell in love was because he felt kindness and consideration from Angela for the first time.

Victor had always been forced by players. Sometimes he was slapped, and sometimes his back entrance was even penetrated with a d*ldo.

Of course, Victor had lived without knowing these memories each time. But the person who made him realize it was Angela.

Seeing him flinch just from physical contact with a woman, she worried about him for the first time.

‘Am I scaring you?’

He couldn’t answer. If he said yes, she’d get angry, and if he said no, she’d probably pounce on him.

‘You don’t have to answer. I’ll wait until your heart opens up.’

The moment he heard those words, he felt an indescribable emotion. At the same time, he even felt a sense of wrongness.

Though he thought this shouldn’t happen, Victor kissed Angela first, and in that moment he felt a sensation like lightning coursing through his entire body.

Normally the player should have pounced on him—him making the first move was forbidden. The moment he broke that taboo, Victor could recall the actions past players had done to him.

And unlike other players, she prioritized his feelings, so Victor’s heart was stolen in an instant.

Was this what they called a lag? He didn’t want to know why he suddenly had a will. What mattered was only that he loved Angela, who cared about his feelings.

Maybe because it was first love. The more time they spent together, the more his feelings for Angela grew, and he wanted to be with her forever. So he didn’t want her to leave.

But in the end, she left anyway.

Victor knew it himself. That he was an idiot who couldn’t even speak properly in front of women. Especially in front of Angela, hadn’t he almost never shown a decent side of himself?

He understood why Angela wanted to leave him, so he blamed himself and regretted his actions.

If only he’d shown her a cooler side of himself…

After Angela left, Victor had to suffer nightmares every night. Dreams where she gave him pleasure, and once her l*st was satisfied, she’d just abandon him and leave.

Some nights she went to the Crown Prince, some nights to the Northern Duke. And some nights he had to lose her to the Knight Commander.

All of it was painful to him, but what hurt him most was her last words.

‘I only liked your c*ck.’

But it was also a hopeful statement. If there was even one thing she liked, couldn’t he win her heart again?

Living a life without her was agonizing. So Victor wanted to go to the world where Angela was, but that was impossible. The moment he left this place, his existence would become nothingness.

As a result, Victor had no choice but to try destroying the world using black magic. Even without a proper method, he had no intention of giving up. He vowed to bring her before him by any means necessary.

The God of Creation should have found him detestable for trying to break the rules, but instead pitied him and proposed a bet.

If Angela fell in love with Victor, or even if she didn’t love him but accepted his proposal and wore the ring, he could trap her in this virtual world forever.

However, if she brought the ring to the temple without accepting his proposal, not only could he no longer keep her in this world, but she would never be able to enter again.

Then Victor, who broke the world’s rules, would dissolve into nothing and disappear.

A world without her wasn’t worth living anyway. So as long as he could bring her back, nothing else mattered, so Victor risked his life and made a contract with the God of Creation.

After that, with the God of Creation’s help, he remade the world and summoned Angela again.

Of course, there was something he had to do first. Before bringing her into this newly created world, he had to eliminate the competitors early. No matter how much she lacked memories, her heart would beat for them.

When Victor used black magic to reconstruct the world, he made the Crown Prince get engaged and the Northern Duke get married.

And he made the Knight Commander a homosexual. So he could never be connected with Angela.

In return, he had to pay a price too. No matter how excellent a black mage he was, remaking the world alone was impossible.

That was why he changed from Magic Tower Master to a mere Count. Because he poured out even the latent magic power within his body to construct the world according to his will.

As a result, not only could he no longer use black magic, but he couldn’t use most magic either.

He could only use trivial magic now. So stepping down from the Magic Tower Master position was a natural result.

All that remained was the Count title of the Lindsey family. The title of an impoverished Count. And though he’d created this world, he couldn’t control everything.

At least his mind hadn’t deteriorated. So he had no choice but to devote himself to research to accumulate wealth somehow, and as the inventions he created increased, he could accumulate wealth proportionally.

After preparing to welcome Angela in such a short time, Victor immediately summoned her. Then he started a game to make her heart flow toward him.

Finally, she entered this world, and seeing her face made him angry too. If she abandoned him and left, she should at least live well.

Seeing eyes full of emptiness, he could feel she wasn’t happy. If that was the case, she shouldn’t have left him. Seeing her like that made him think even more that he couldn’t let her go.

But winning Angela’s heart wasn’t easy. He tried to seduce her physically and gradually win her heart, but she wouldn’t fall for it.

Instead, an unexpected person appeared. That was the bug, Knight Commander Sir Chalmonte. A man who liked women developed a will after being continuously forced to like men.

Even with an obstacle appearing, it didn’t matter. Victor wouldn’t give up. He wanted to live happily with Angela somehow.

But in the end he failed, and thought he had to give up on her. Yet at that moment, ironically, Angela chose him…

Victor had no intention of letting go of her hand now, no matter what happened. He would stay by her side. Forever.
