I Bet My Soul on His Loyalty
In order to stay by Samuel Hudson's side, I decide to give up on the one-billion-dollar reward offered by the system. At the same time, I've used up all of the luck I've accumulated just to trade for a chance to fully heal Samuel's legs.
But the price I need to pay is that I have to bind my life force to Samuel's devotion toward me. If he cheats on me physically or emotionally, my soul will be extracted from my body forcibly, leading to my eventual destruction.
The moment I go through with the binding process, I find myself hesitating for a moment. But the sight of Samuel kneeling on one knee while proposing to me lovingly makes me believe him. I believe him with my whole heart when he promises to stay devoted to me forever.
Because of this, I'm content with being the woman who will endure everything for her lover's sake. So, I tap the "confirm" button firmly.
For the next seven years, Samuel and I continue to love each other as passionately as ever. Together, we've overcome countless challenges and survived many low tides together.
But on our wedding anniversary, while I'm making soup for Samuel in the kitchen, I begin coughing violently all of a sudden. Soon, I spit out a huge glob of dark blood.
Then, I look down to see my body starting to become transparent. In fact, my fingers can no longer touch the glass on the counter.
At the same time, alarm bells begin ringing in my mind.
[Warning! Samuel's affection level has dropped below the critical threshold. Destruction protocol is now activated.]
