Chapter 2

The two lovebirds who were making love stopped and looked at the sound with surprised eyes.

"N-nelson? You're home." Laura, who saw her husband's arrival, was surprised because Nelson usually didn't come home at this hour.

"You?!" Nelson ignored his wife, but the 24-year-old man immediately pulled the man, still hugging his wife intimately.

Nelson, who was already emotional, immediately threw his fist into the man's face, but unfortunately, Nelson's punch was missed because the man, who was his opponent, was very agile.

The man whom Nelson attacked did not accept it, and finally, the man hit Nelson back. "How dare you hit me?"

A fierce fight was inevitable, and even the items in the room became victims.

"Stop it!" Laura, who couldn't take it anymore, shouted. The two men were now holding each other by the collar.

"What are you doing, Nelson?" Irritated, Laura walked up to the two men and separated them. Of course, Laura defended her mistress.

"Who do you think I am, Laura? I'm your husband, not him!" snapped Nelson as he removed his wife's hand from the passionate man.

Slap...

Instead of an explanation, Nelson received a slap from his beloved wife.

"Laura!" Nelson said coldly as he held his cheek and looked at his wife with an incredulous look.

"That's what you deserve, and one more thing, from now on, I'm not your wife anymore. Does a fat, poor man like you not know himself?" Laura's slur made Nelson even more speechless, while the man behind his wife smiled mockingly at the beautiful argument.

"So you chose him?" Nelson could only stare at his wife with a disappointed look.

"Mr. Nelson, are you not self-aware? How can a woman as beautiful as Laura be at home with a poor, fat man like you? You look like a pig, and a poor, jobless man like you doesn't deserve to be with her."

Hearing what his wife's mistress said, Nelson realized today's misfortune was not without reason. "Aren't you ashamed that Mr. Smith would say something like this? I thought an honorable man who has become a CEO like you would not be a shackle to someone else's household, but I misjudged you."

"In love, nothing is wrong even if I am your boss and Laura. A trashy man like you doesn't deserve to be with a woman as beautiful as Laura!" The man named Smith continued to taunt Nelson.

"Hey, Nelson, I've had enough of you. Now, you better get out of my life. If possible, it would be better if you died!" Frustrated with the drama in front of her, Laura kicked Nelson out of their apartment.

"Damn it!" snapped Nelson, who staggered backward from his wife's violent push.

"Even now, the wife I love the most is as rotten as the people around me," Nelson muttered in a sad tone; if only Laura had persuaded him, Nelson would not have minded what had happened.

Nelson, who had been destroyed by love and betrayed by everyone around him, felt that his world had collapsed entirely. The man had no hope left.

***

"Why are you hesitating, Nelson? What do you expect anymore?" said Nelson, blaming himself when he wanted to jump from his apartment building, but he felt scared when he looked down.

"Death is what you deserve!" Nelson continued to curse himself, and the man threw away his fear and quickly closed his eyes so that he could jump from the tall building without hesitation.

But before Nelson could jump, a powerful lightning bolt struck him.

Crash Hhshh...

[Ding]

[Host detected]

Those were the strange sounds Nelson could hear before the man closed his eyes.

The lightning bolt that struck Nelson's body was so powerful that people immediately looked to see what it had hit and were surprised to see a slightly burnt man lying on the edge of the attic divider.

Seeing Nelson unconscious, the apartment security staff quickly rushed him to the hospital.

***

After a while, Nelson finally woke up, but the strange voice rang in his head again before he could open his eyes.

[Host detected]

[Welcome to-]

"Argh!" shouted Nelson while holding his head as the strange voice made his head even more dizzy.

Hearing Nelson's screams, the doctor quickly arrived and gave the man a sedative injection, as it was rare for anyone to survive such a powerful lightning strike without significant injuries.

After a few moments of receiving the injection, Nelson finally calmed down. Now, the man was fully conscious, but the noise in his head did not go away.

[Ding]

[Welcome, Host, you don't need to be confused, and I'm not anywhere, so you can't look for me].

Nelson was silent as he listened to the unfamiliar voice, trying to confirm if he was hallucinating or not. The man also ensured where the voice came from because he didn't want to be the target of a prank and be played.

"Who are you? Leave me alone!" Nelson said coldly, and the man couldn't think clearly.

[The Host doesn't need to know who I am and where I came from. My existence here is only to help the Hosts bound to me].

"What kind of joke is this? Hahaha, now I've gone crazy, talking to myself!" Nelson laughed out loud as he saw himself unable to maintain his sanity.

After stopping his merry laughter, Nelson said, "What is your purpose? I'm not going to give you any benefits. I'm just a trashy guy who can't keep anything on his side. So you better go."
