Many things have happened as Alec stayed in this world.
Kyle and Joshua adopted 2 kids, a boy and a girl, adopted lots of dogs, and had a fun life with one another. Joshua was the CEO of a famous company for years until he let his son inherit his company. Kyle slowly exposed himself less and less in the entertainment industry, but he was forever remembered by his fans.
As for Alec and Damien, they spent their whole life together even if they didnβt get married or made their βrelationshipβ official. Damien stubbornly stayed by Alecβs side. He didnβt force Alec to do anything but waited with the persistence and stubbornness of a mule. He never cheated, never looked at anyone else but Alec. Alec was the only one who occupied his mind and stayed in his eyes.
As for Alec, he felt he didnβt deserve Damienβs love. He continuously challenged Damienβs love for years. He waited for Damien to leave so that he could reaffirm his belief that Damien didnβt love him enough and that he didnβt deserve said love.
Contrary to Alecβs beliefs, Damien kept his promise to be with him forever. Even when Damienβs hair turned grey and his bones didnβt work like they used to, still, he was at Alecβs side until he couldnβt move anymore.
Damien laid in the hospital bed, unable to move his limbs any longer. He stopped eating or drinking, so everyone knew that he was about to pass on.
Alec held on to Damienβs hand and listened to everything Damien wanted to talk about.
Damien talked a lot about his time with Alec, like when Alec first started out as an actor, and when he starred in his first romance movie. He even talked about Stephan, who Alec forgot about, and how Stephan deserved everything that happened for touching his precious Alec.
Eventually, Damien got too tired to talk, but Alec didnβt mind and held his hand. He didnβt know what to say to his lifelong companion who stayed true to his words and accompanied him until the very end.
Even though his voice was a little hoarse and soft, he tried his best to let Alec know how he felt. He always told Alec how much he loved him, how much he cared for him, and how he was grateful to have met him.
βAlec, I love you so much. Thank you for letting me stay by your side and being here with me.β
There were no tears rolling down Damienβs face, but he had the biggest smile on his face. He was content.
At that moment, the walls surrounding Alecβs heart collapsed one by one.
And it was full of regret.

He regretted not allowing himself to be loved by Damien and accepting it. There was nothing he could do to turn back time, but he wanted Damien to know the feelings that he had buried deep inside the walls of his heart.

βI love you, Damien, Iβve always loved you but I was too afraid to love again. I always thought I didnβt deserve your love even though you never once left my side.β
Alec knew that he, the Host, would probably never be loved like this again since he didnβt know where he would end up in the next world.
He wished he just let himself go and let himself be loved by Damien who clearly cherished and loved him back.
Hearing Alecβs words, it was the first time he had cried in front of him. When Damien’s parents died, when his siblings died, though he shed tears, he did his best to not do so in front of Alec. But now that Alec said that he also loves him, all the emotions he held in for so long started to pour out.
βIβm so happy, Iβm really happy. I love you so much Alec, I love you. Wherever I go after this, Iβm sure I will find and follow you once more. I will be by your side forever. I can promise you that.β
βYou big dummy, I will hold you to that promise.β Alec hugged Damien one last time. Even though he didnβt know how true those words were, he couldnβt help but hope that he would find Damien in the next world and every world after that.
In the next world and in the worlds after that, he promised to love him, so please, please let him and Damien meet again.
βI love you so much Damien, thank you for loving me.β
After that, he didnβt hear anything from Damien. The man passed away hearing the words that he wanted to hear for decades, and he died happily in the embrace of his loved one.
Damienβs heartbeat was no more, his limbs had gotten cold, but Alec still didnβt let Damien go even though the man had passed.
βI donβt want to be in a world without Damien.β
After that, Alec passed away too. He had already arranged the funeral, the coffins, and their place of burial together with Damien. All that was left was for them to peacefully go.
And so they didβ¦
*****
The Host ended up back in System 225βs space and didnβt say a word. He just collapsed onto the ground with tears in his eyes.
He was heartbroken and didnβt want to move. System 225 saw the emotional turmoil that the Host was going in, but he did not know how to comfort the man. He was someone who had long lost his humanity, so he sat next to the Host and patted the manβs back and didnβt say anything. He just let the Host cry.
When the Host finally finished crying, he realized that System 225 was next to him.
βThank you for comforting meβ¦β He should at least thank System 225 for staying by his side while he cried.
[Youβre welcome, Host,] He paused for a bit, he wanted to say something but he didnβt know how to word it.
βSystem 225, is there something you want to say to me?β
[Yes, but promise me you wonβt freak outβ¦]
If System 225 was saying this to him, then it was something serious.
βI promise.β
[About Damienβ¦]
The Host saw System 225 with a worried expression. “What is it?”
[Well, Damien is the God System. I wanted to tell you earlier butβ¦] He had a feeling that Alec would fall in love and he didnβt want to ruin his relationship or interactions with the God System.
βWait, Damien is the God System? Thatβs possible?β Alecβs emotions were all over the place.
[Itβs definitely possible. You probably havenβt noticed this, but Systems are controlled by souls who have lost their right to reincarnate. Once they form aβ¦ I guess you can call it a contract with the UniOrb, they begin to work in the Command Center. God System, who also has a soul, is one of the longest, standing Systems. Once he became God System, he stopped giving Hosts missions and governed all the other Systems.]
Since God Systemβs soul was damaged, he had to go from world to world, body to body, to be able to heal.
βSo thereβs a chance I can meet the God System again in the next world right?β
Alec didnβt really care that Damien was the God System. Once he fell for someone, he fell hard. Any little flaw, trait, characteristic, etc., is glossed over by the power of his loveβ¦ It was just how he was.
[Well, considering how possessive and stubborn the God System is, thereβs a 99% chance you will see him againβ¦ and againβ¦ But…] System 225 knew God System quite well, once that man latched on to someone, he was never letting go.
βI am so relieved… I get to see the God System again!β The Host went into his own world thinking about how he was going to make it up to the God System, love him, cherish him, and follow him everywhere. He didnβt even hear or see System 225βs emotional turmoil.
[God System⦠he was supposed to be powerful and strong and⦠not like that!!!]
His image of the God System was ruined! He didnβt say this before, but when he saw how clingy God System was, how stubborn he was, how crazy in love he was with his Host, it ruined the all mighty powerful image he had of God System.
The host didnβt understand the problem System 225 was facing, but he patted the System on the shoulder.
He was excited to get to the next world so that he could see the God System again.
After his mental breakdown, System 225 returned back into his emotionless self.
[Host, I know you are excited, but you should get some rest. You have been there for a long time and should mentally prepare for the next world.]
βAlright, I willβ¦ and thank you, System 225… β
He was slowly regaining the trust he once had in System 225. He was sure, by the next world, the two would be like best friends.
[Rest well, Hostβ¦]
The Host laid down, thinking about his life with Damien. Though he felt regret, he knew that he had plenty of worlds to make up for itβ¦
A/N: How did y’all like the ending of Arc 1? This world was nice and relaxing. Also, this isn’t edited, so if you see any errors, let me know in the discord server for CG under the channel typos-and-mistakes, but if you don’t have a discord… Well, I guess you can just put it in the comments and I will try to fix it as soon as possible!
Thanks for reading everyone! I hope to see you all in the upcoming arcs. Those will get really fun, I promise!
Lille: Mah heartβ¦. mah soulβ¦ orz
DAMIENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ππππ (Well, at least our baby will get to meet him in the next arc)
Aaah I couldn’t help but tear up at the ending
I’m late for work but had to finish the arc. Now my eyes are to puffy to go to work.
Ah so beautiful πβ€οΈ
+1 πβ₯οΈπ
Ah, feels so good~
I’m late, but I honestly wished for a tragic ending, like Alec dying early cuz he cud only live upto the Timeline of the original Alec.
LOL are you okay? I feel bad abusing my characters more than I already have haha.
Lmao I just love sm sprinkle of tragedy here nd there, it make the readg more worthwhile but ofcrs the story was gud
I’m glad u didn’t listen to those people who want abuse, bad ending, angst, dog blood, etc etc weirdos, thank you
If you want more abuse, read Strategy to Capture that Scum Gong then. πππ
Oh ive read it, I’ve read majority of all the BL novels out there nd I’m a writer myself π€£
Oh dear, this damned story will ruin your fluffy sweet quick transmigration dreams. It will hurt you more and more and you’ll just think that you’ve become numb and a masochist once you finish this story.
πππππ I cried!!wuwuwu!! There better be an equal amount of fluff later!!
This is just too sad qwq. Tbh i was a little curious about MC’s rich family in this arc. But who cares. Thanks for the chapter!
Oh right forgot that we didn’t have the chance to meet them
π€
Hmm
I thought like the other world hopping novels Alec would die attending Kyle’s wedding πππ
(but I love how Arc 1 turned out β¨β¨)
Noo mah shipβs not gonna work nuuu
It’s so beautiful
System 225’s worldview is broken lol π
how can love be so painful but beautiful at same time . sob. sob. I cried so hard (;Β΄ΰΌΰΊΆΠΰΌΰΊΆ`)o(TγTo)
Oof. My heart just took 50 damage
I knew it… And the ending was great
πβ€πβ€πβ€πβ€πβ€πβ€πβ€
I shouldn’t have cried as much as I did
Great 1st arc. Damien’s death made me cry and become a bottle of emotions. My MVP this round has to go to him and Kyle.
Maybe its cos I’ve read a lot of system novels but although I love the story I felt like the grammar was lacking making it not have a bigger impact I hope the next arc will have an improvement other than that it was sweet
I like the arc 1 ending. Though I kind of expected that Damien will be the god system, I still like how it ends. Especially how 225’s world view about his god had been broken. lol
Scratch that comment I post in the previous chap— I’M CRYING!! MY ROOM IS ABT TO BE FLOODED WITH TEARS!!
( β§Πβ¦)( β§Πβ¦)( β§Πβ¦)( β§Πβ¦) ΰ²₯_ΰ²₯
The author really knows how to abuse and heal us the next second huh π It’s a beautiful arc!!! I love that the mc said the he loves the ML before he dies at least they clearly expressed their mutual love. And I’m so happy that our mc finally opens his heart. Wish them more happiness.
I Had guesses that Damien was connected to the God System at least in a way. I had even thought that he’s the god system! And look, i wasn’t wrong! π€©
Anyways, even though i already knew that they’d meet eachother again in the next worlds, i’m really happy that it was told to our MC our ML’s true identity and that he still has a massive chance of meeting Damien again. Of course, in a different identity. π
It’s a good/fitting ending
Me while reading this: crying tears of joy for the host finally loving someone and letting himself get the love that he deserved the mostπππ
Damn you onion ninjas and your sneak attacks!!! DAMIEEEN! ALEEEC!! ππ
I cried, bitterly!
Yet, it was so sweet and felt right.
Like it needed to be done just like that, so the MC can get the push he needed, to love again! To change, for the better! I’m so happy and proud and also moved by them!
WUUU WUUUU I LOVE THEM!!!!
πππ
I just freaking cried π
LITERAL TEARS OF JOY AND HAPPINESS FLOWED OUT OF MY EYES AFTER IT WAS COMFIRMED HE WAS THE GOD SYSTEM, SERIOUSLY THANK GOODNESSππππ
seriously thank goodnessπ
CRYING BUCKET OF TEARS ITS 5AM IN THE MORNING I CANT STOP READING THIS π
Damn, its my third reread from yhe start and god i can’t believe im crying over this again, it just shows how good this novel is TT
(This cements evan being a simp for grandpa’s works wwww)
I was rooting for God system from the very start that’s why I felt hesitant shipping Damien and Alec cuz I don’t wanna get hurt but I still cried when Damien died and that’s the only time Alec confessed. Deymm I was very verryyyy regretful and even hated Alec a little bit because I thought it was already too late when je realize that he can love again. I was like you wasted so much years just to realize that in his deathbed? THEN I’LL FOUND OUT THAT DAMIEN IS THE GOD SYSTEM? Bring me back my tears and sorrow π
this arc ended well…even though this ending was sad ……im happy that its also the start …
