Solo Bug Player

Lance is just a normal college student or at least he tries to be. He balances being the star player of his university basketball team, keeping up with classes, and spending time with his girlfriend, Ylva, a beautiful girl with secrets he doesn’t fully understand. At the same time, he is weighed down by the debt his late father left behind, struggling every day just to keep his life together. Everything changes when his little sister, Tamera, is kidnapped by brutal loan sharks. Desperate and terrified, Lance digs deeper and learns the truth: the man behind the kidnapping isn’t just some random gangster. It’s Ragnar, Ylva’s father, a feared mafia boss with a reputation for cruelty. With no other options left, Lance is forced into a deal he never imagined. To save his sister, he agrees to work directly under Ragnar. What starts as fear, anger, and survival slowly becomes something more complicated. As Lance is pulled deeper into the criminal world, he begins to see sides of Ragnar he never expected. In the middle of danger and violence, a forbidden connection forms between them, one that threatens everything Lance thought he knew about love, loyalty, and who he really is.

Mi prometido era el neurocientífico más brillante del país. Pero su amiga de la infancia, enferma de cáncer terminal y solo tenía un mes de vida, por lo que, para acompañarla en ese último tramo del camino, él me obligó a tomar una dosis experimental de un fármaco que borra la memoria, una creación suya, aún secreta. Durante ese mes en que yo lo olvidé todo, él organizó una boda con su amiga, la llevó de luna de miel, y juntos, prometieron reencontrarse en otra vida, en medio de un campo lleno de flores. Un mes después, bajo una lluvia que calaba hasta los huesos, él cayó de rodillas frente a mí, con los ojos llenos de desesperación y la voz hecha trizas: —La droga solo duraba un mes... ¿Por qué me olvidaste para siempre?

Colter Giordano, mi prometido desde hace seis años, heredero de la familia Giordano, recibió una bala por una bailarina llamada Mia. No la recibió por mí. Una bala me atravesó el hombro. La sangre, caliente y pegajosa, me manchó el vestido. Pero mi corazón dolía más. Me preguntó si estaba bien. Solo una vez. Luego se apresuró a llevar a Mia al hospital, dejándome sangrando en el suelo. Al día siguiente, la foto de Mia apareció en mi feed de Instagram. Ahí estaba ella, en una suite de lujo del hospital. Colter se estaba desviviendo por un rasguño en su brazo que apenas se notaba. El pie de foto era de solo dos palabras: [Mi Héroe.] Le di me gusta a la publicación. Luego hice una llamada encriptada. —La oferta de la familia Falcone —dije—. La acepto. Consígueme un avión a Sicilia. Tres días.

Estuve cinco años casada con el heredero de la familia Romano, la más poderosa del crimen organizado en Italia. Cada noche, me abrazaba y susurraba: —Solo dame un heredero, y le daré todo el imperio Romano. Pero nunca quedé embarazada, y la decepción del jefe de la mafia hacia mí crecía con cada mes que pasaba. Hasta que descubrí que mi esposo había estado cambiando a escondidas mi ácido fólico por pastillas anticonceptivas. Aún me tambaleaba por la furia cuando vi una publicación de su exnovia: una foto de ultrasonido. Su mensaje era dulce y presumido: —Diez semanas. Vincent dice que no puede esperar para conocer al bebé. Al ver la avalancha de felicitaciones, tomé una decisión. Busqué los datos de contacto de mi exnovio, aquel que había pasado los últimos cinco años intentando recuperarme, y le envié un solo mensaje: "Dame un mes. Luego voy contigo."

On the week before Valentine's Day, I want to buy my husband, Grayson Strickland, who works as a university professor, an electronic toothbrush as a gift. That's when I see a review with over ten thousand likes on a particular online store. "I recommend buying from this store! This store's electronic toothbrush is super durable! I've never had to charge this toothbrush for half a year!" Three days later, an additional response is made to that comment. "I'm sorry for misleading everyone. It turns out that my husband has been charging this toothbrush this whole time. It's my fault for being such a doofus! I even pestered him for a long time before I finally found out that he has done a lot for me! "I never have to add toilet rolls to the bathroom. All I thought is that the same toilet roll is extremely thick. The membership that I have on the TV app is often paid for and extended, and yet I thought there was a bug in the app software somehow. Some time ago, the peeling dry skin on my lips miraculously healed. It turns out he was the one who kept applying lip balm onto my lip at night. "He's a university professor, you see. In the past, I often blamed him for not knowing what being romantic was like. But now, I finally realize that those who love you will have a way of showing you how it's done." The rest of the comment section is filled with wailing complaints. They all complain that Valentine's Day isn't even here, and yet they are already sick of the lovey-dovey atmosphere. Amid the Internet users' constant requests, the poster finally uploads the handsome side profile of her husband. Feeling rather envious, I tap on the photo, only for my smile to freeze on my face. That photo actually features Grayson! As I stare at my mother-in-law, who has been paralyzed in bed for the past six years, I recall the fact that Grayson lives on the university campus all around the year. That's when uneasiness begins plaguing me. As expected, when I bring my marriage certificate to the County Clerk’s office and ask about it, the clerk points at the stamp and says, "Your marriage certificate is fake. Mr. Grayson Strickland's spouse is another woman named Callista Whitman." My fingers go slack subconsciously, causing the fake marriage certificate to fall to the floor. A chuckle of despair escapes my lips. Everyone knows that Callista is Grayson's student. She's his most prized student as well as the person who knows him the best. As for me… I'm just a free caretaker whom he has "hired".

In real life, I had been pushed to the brink by an online romance scam. Just when everything fell apart, I awakened something called the Devotion System, and before I could make sense of it, I found myself thrown into a horror game. Among all the players, I was the weakest, barely able to take care of myself. If I wanted to survive, I had only one option—find someone stronger and cling to them, no matter what it took. However, things did not go the way I expected. Every player avoided me like the plague. Not a single one was willing to team up. With nowhere left to turn, I made a desperate decision. I chose a ghost. I treated her as my bound partner and devoted myself completely to her, clinging to her as if my life depended on it. However, as I spent more time with her, I began to realize she was not just something terrifying. She was someone who had been hurt, someone deeply broken. Hence, I stopped pretending. I began to help her sincerely. In the end, we overcame everything together and cleared the game. However, when I returned to the real world, I discovered something I never could have expected. She had followed me back. From that moment on, all I could do was wait for the system to pull me into the next stage.
