Chapter 2.1 ( Unprecendented Love)

"I'm sorry..I'm sorry..wake up...wake up..WAKE UP!!"

FeiNan screamed himself awake, he was now in the same white expanse he was at in the beginning. He looked to his side to see a fluttering round ball,

"Host! Host! I was so worried!!"

The little ball chimed incessantly, but instead of getting annoyed, FeiNan looked left and right. He was finally disappointed. His clammy hands covered his face as he started bawling his eyes out.

"H-host..."

The system could only project a holographic picture of itself to try comfort its Host. It patted his back soothingly as he sniffled and weeped.

As a system, it cannot understand emotions. But that does not mean it is not capable of it, the system has now labeled its encounter with the black mist as 'fear'. And now, this throbbing pain in its mind, looking at how its Host was so sorrowfully weeping, it will name it 'sadness'.

There was no concept of time in the white expanse, FeiNan could have cried for days, years or centuries. But once he exhausted his neverending tears, he stood up with red rimmed eyes.

He choked out,

"System.....bring me to the next world."

As if on cue, the white expanse began swirling infront of him as the colour specture mixed into his vision, transporting him to another dimension, the system took this time to explain the next world,

"The next world is modern, set in 21XX. You are the CEO of the Protaganist's competing company. FL is a normal, everyday business woman that works at the front desk. This plot is basically two CEOs competing for the same woman, showering her with gifts and affection. This world is fairly simple....as I want you to recuparate properly..."

FeiNan closed his eyes and remmebered how harshly he treated rhe system back in the first world, riddled with guilt, he whispered,

"Thank you.."

"H-huh..ehehe..no problem Host!!"

You could almost picture a glowing system practically bouncing in its shoes from happiness.

When FeiNan opened his eyes, the world had already materialised around him. He was in an luxurious but simplistic room.

Luxurious as he could tell every piece of furniture no matter how bland, was expensive.

Simplistic as the room held the most basic of basic designs, from pure white wall clocks to a pure black digital alarm.

The said digital alarm was now beeping as the numbers 5.30 flashed against it.

FeiNan groaned as he pulled himself out of bed and slammed his hand down on the alarm, earning him a sweet sense of silence.

He rested his face in his hands and sat at the side if the bed for awhile, gathering his bearings and trying to fight off the lethargic feeling in his bones.

As the wall clock ticked whilst the seconds go by, FeiNan eventually rose from bed and did his morning routine of showering, brushing his teeth and getting dressed. This is the one thing that would never change in any world.

He pulled open his wardrobe to be greeted with the blandest of bland clothing in the history of the universe. Black, grey or white. Now it might now seem so bad, but it is horrible when every suit, shirt and pants have the exact same cut and press.

"First green now this.."

FeiNan muttered to himself as he haphazardly pulled out a random suit and began dressing himself.

Once done, he looked himself in the mirror and could not help but nod in appreciation at how handsome this body is. The previous world's body had a feminine air, but this body exuded a firm masculine aura.

Scouring through the memories of the original, FeiNan grabbed a cup of coffee left by the house maid and made his way to the chauffeur waiting below his complex.

Once he entered the backseat of the black limousine, FeiNan silently sipped his coffee and looked out the window, at the passing colours of the city.

Soon, they arrived at the company's lobby, the chauffeur bid him goodbye and he got out the car.

A tall skyscraper greeted him, each level had tempered glass walls and the white base colour. Overall the only word FeiNan would use to describe this is, clean.

He walked in and was immediately greeted by a chorus of people all at their places and getting ready for work, he nodded in reply and continued towards the direction of the elevator.

The front desk greeted him as he walked by and he could not help but notice a beautiful, young lady throwing amorous glances at him.

Once he entered the lift, his mind scrolled through the potential identity if this woman.

"Feng NeiYuan, current world's Female Lead. Attributes: Understanding and Kind. Summary: Doted upon by you, FL climbs the ranks quickly to being a secretary, this earns her attention from the Protaganist who will then fight with you for her love and attention."

While he pondered over this information in the lift, at the front desk the female lead is worrying.....

Is my makeup off today?

NeiYuan touched her face and check the reflection from the small mirror in her hand.

Mr Peh didn't even stop to greet me today...what's going on?

She gritted her teeth and settled down in her chair, worry and anxiety plagued her mind.

On the other hand, FeiNan is looking at the piles of paperwork on his desk, it was akin to a mountain. He sighed and picked the one on the very top, it read,

'Stock Market for Company XX against Company YY, potential reasons and factors'

He placed it on the table and sighed heavily, he never liked paperwork. It is not because he is bad at it, but because of the sheer number of words he would need to read and think about carefully. Every contract may have loopholes someone could exploit just because he did not give enough thought.

It is not helpful that he was the CEO so the important documents go straight to him.

So thus half his day was looking through the pile of work, vetoing what was unreasonable and giving the go ahead for the practical ones.

This led to lunch time coming pretty quickly, evident by the knock on his door, a coquettish voice rang out,

"President, it's time for lunch."

The mahogany door cracked open and an attractive lady waltz into the room like it was her own.

FeiNan looked up from his paper work and squinted at her, making connections in his head, he realized that it was the woman from before, the female lead NeiYuan.

He settled down the papers and stood up, ready to go grab lunch. But while doing so, he realised that NeiYuan was still standing in his office, just taking shy looks at him.

"Can I help you?"

"I-I was wondering if I could take up your deal on having lunch today..?"

FeiNan held his breath and finally realized that he was the supporting male lead. He could not blatantly just ignore her especially since the original had already begun chasing her.

Feeling quite annoyed by the lack of personal freedom, FeiNan grunted and said,

"Today, I just feel like eating by myself,"

NeiYuan looked down pitifully at her stilettos, her whole posture conveying how wronged she felt towards his treatment,

"But we always-"

"Ms NeiYuan. I believe it is highly improper for me to be having a private meal with one of my workers, so if you'll excuse me."

He held his temper in his chest and walked firmly past her, leaving her to stare at the CEO's table in shock.

What happened to those days where she was pampered? Did he find a new flame?

FeiNan felt piercing headache and incessant ringing in his ears that refuse to stop. He walked out the company building and into a nearby coffeeshop with a simple and cozy atmosphere.

Sitting down at a window seat, he held his head in his hands as the ringing continued on and on, threatening to make his head split.

Sweat dripped from his forehead as he bit the inner part of his cheek, breaking the delicate flesh and the strong taste of metal flooded his mouth.

Suddenly, a strong grip grasped his shoulder, giving him a wave of relief.

His heart began pulsating, filling him with the feeling of anticipation, he looked back hurriedly as if expecting something or someone,

"Are you alright?"

With the sunlight from the window against his face, the other's features seem to light up the room.

"Giving Host information, this is Ming GuangHao, CEO of the Feng Industries also known as Protaganist of this world."

But FeiNan was too preoccupied to listen to the electronic speech of the system,

"J-JunQing?"
