How would I choose?

That’s an easy question!

Eirik would definitely choose to help Pixie forget her feelings!

Though he might not become the strongest husband in the universe, there’s a slight regret there.

But as long as Pixie becomes the strongest being in the cosmos, he can clear the game and earn rewards!

In this simulation game, with so many beautiful ladies around, can’t he just choose another as his wife?

To Eirik, this is just a game, a collection of data; swapping wives doesn’t weigh on his conscience at all!

“Thanks for your help, Master Alchemist. I’m willing to help her forget her feelings,” Eirik said calmly.

“You want to help her forget?” Violanda asked, surprised.

From her understanding of human nature, most people are heartless, with few true romantics.

In a group of ten, there might not even be one willing to help someone forget.

This man before her was quite unexpected.

After giving Eirik a deep look, Violanda subtly moved her hand, and an ancient book flew into Eirik’s grasp.

It was a tome of forgetfulness!

As for that exotic treasure, the Essence Fruit, acquiring it would be quite challenging, but for a Savant-level powerhouse, it was merely a matter of effort.

However, the method for helping someone forget their feelings was complex.

He would have to make Pixie thoroughly disappointed in him.

Eirik pondered this, realizing he needed to drastically diminish their bond.

…

Meanwhile, the world channel forums were buzzing with activity.

“Who would have thought Pip was the so-called 'Heaven-Forsaken Body'? I almost feel sorry for her.”

“Ugh, that can’t feel good.”

“Now she’s facing karma for flaunting herself all the time!”

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

Some commented sarcastically, while others offered gentle reassurances.

Elvynna, who used to fiercely compete with Pixie for Eirik's attention, fell silent, not wanting to discourage her friend and rival.

Pixie read the comments, feeling a bittersweet pang.

“Damn, is this really what I am?

Can’t learn magic, and it’ll just get worse, turning me into an ordinary person.

In the end, it feels like all my efforts were for nothing.

What’s the point of studying magic now?”

“Fortunately, I still have Eirik. Even if I’m useless, he should stay by my side, right?”

Pixie silently encouraged herself.

Even if her powers diminished, it would take time to regress from a Savant to an ordinary person. She should still have a few hundred years left to live.

From now on, she needed to cherish the time spent with her husband.

She envisioned traveling with Eirik, exploring the vast lands, seeing all the sights, and tasting the world’s delicacies—making her life worth living!

In reality, she might feel down for a while, considering her in-game body is worthless, and it’s likely the same in reality.

But she would still diligently study magic!

Even if she became an ordinary person again, she would have reached great heights, witnessing sights beyond ordinary folks’ reach.

That would be enough.

Moreover, this journey of learning would extend her lifespan!

But why was the world so unfair to her compared to other magicians?

No wonder her condition was labeled as the 'Heaven-Forsaken Body'!

“Don’t cry, Pixie, you can do this!”

She silently cheered herself on, forcing a smile.

【Caught in your thoughts at the inn, you find yourself lost in contemplation. Before you know it, it’s past midnight, and your husband, who promised to return before midnight, has yet to show.】

【You hadn’t thought much of it until suddenly, a distant rumble shakes the inn, a powerful elemental force erupting in waves.】

【That elemental energy feels familiar—it’s coming from Eirik.】

Realizing her husband might be in a fight, Pixie rushed towards the source of the energy.

But soon, she found Eirik standing in a tavern, embracing a sultry woman and brawling with others.

He reeked of alcohol—clearly intoxicated.

“Damn, this is what men are like!”

“How could he? His wife is at home heartbroken, and he’s out drinking, hugging another woman?!”

The world channel erupted in outrage!

“Is it really happening now?”

Selene shook her head, disappointed.

The moment she saw Pixie turn into a waste, she had sensed that Eirik and Pixie's relationship might not hold up anymore.

Sure enough, after the Master Alchemist claimed Pixie was beyond saving, Eirik strayed for the first time.

He even hired a prostitute at the tavern!

【Pixie felt hurt and embarrassed by his actions, causing your bond to weaken.】

On Eirik’s side, the system alerted him.

It was effective!

A thrill ran through him; as long as he continued to damage their relationship, then at the right moment, he could let Pixie receive that tome of forgetfulness…

If Pixie could keep studying magic, his save file would continue!

In the future, he might not be Pixie’s husband but rather a subordinate or something similar.

But that didn’t matter. As long as Pixie became the strongest in the universe, he would gain rewards—titles were unimportant.

“Why is this happening... Are all men truly heartless?”

Pixie felt crushed; having just learned she was a Heaven-Forsaken Body, her mood plummeted further.

“Could it be... because I’ve neglected him lately?”

Pixie hesitated but decided to invite Eirik for drinks the next day.

【After a few rounds, the atmosphere was delightful, and you began reminiscing about when you first met, pulling him close and inviting him inside...】

“Ha, can’t I win him over like this?”

Just as Pixie mused, a system notification chimed in.

【He declined your invitation, stating he had plans with friends from the capital and had to leave.】

【He walked away, and you could only watch his retreating figure helplessly, choosing to follow him quietly...】

【You discovered he returned to yesterday's tavern, seeking out that alluring woman who felt both strange yet familiar.】

【Heartbroken, your bond took a significant hit.】

??

Pixie stared blankly at the simulation panel, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Why?

Just because I’m a Heaven-Forsaken Body, do you have to be so cruel?

After a thousand years of marriage, does our bond mean nothing?

Eirik, why have you betrayed me so?
