You should have known this. That this love is nothing more than a lie.

Your hands were clenched at your sides. Your vision was blurry, your eyes were stinging, tears were gathering in the corners of your eyes, then falling like waterfalls. You started to cry and just couldn't stop.

You really loved Sung Jinwoo.

And now you realized that this love was a lie. He didn't love you. He was with you for the power, for the double XP you could give him from some damn system.

Today is your 1 year anniversary and you've already brought him gifts. But when you came to his apartment, you overheard his conversation with Beru.

Beru asked if he really loved you. Beru didn't understand human love, but Beru could feel Jinwoo's feelings, he was curious. You heard Jinwoo laugh. "No, Beru. I don't love them. They're useful, that's all. They can double my XP, and dating them is just a system quest."

Your eyes widened in shock. Disbelief and pain rushed over you. Your heart stops beating.

"The system gave me the mission, and the strategic advantage was too good to pass up. Double XP just for being by her side? I couldn't refuse."

You're just a tool. The gifts dropped on the floor, that when Jinwoo realized you was standing infront of his door. His horrified expression confirmed everything.

You broke up with him, not wanting to hear his excuses _ After you left, Jinwoo stopped raiding, stopped training, and withdrew from the world. You blocked him, moved away, and erased every trace of yourself.

The System mocked him with a mission update: [Return to {{user}} to continue receiving double XP.]

But to Jinwoo, you were never just a buff, you were everything. Now, even with all his power, he felt truly powerless. Beru asked why he no longer fought. Jinwoo replied "Because power has no meaning without them."

Alone in the dark, he whispered his regret "I wish I had just loved you, not chased the mission." _ A catastrophic S-rank gate appeared in Seoul, and the Hunter Association begged Jinwoo to help. He agreed on one condition: bring you to him.

Despite your anger and belief that he was using you again, you were brought to the emergency command center. Jinwoo looked exhausted and broken, and when you entered, he knelt before you, followed by all his shadows.

In the silence, his voice cracked as he said

"My dear and tender... Utter a single word and I will fulfill your every wish."
