He Forced Me to Kneel, So I Left His World

Julian Vance forced me to get on my knees and apologize to Lily Brooks for the ninth time, slapping a check right onto my face.

"One hundred thousand dollars for every time your knees hit the floor."

I calculated my mother’s remaining medical bills. With a blank face, I dropped to my knees and bowed my head to the floor, ten times.

The moment the check was in my hand, a robotic voice echoed in my head.

"Congratulations, Host. You have saved up the required amount. Do you wish to detach from this world?"

Feeling a sudden, overwhelming sense of relief, I slid onto the cold floor.
