The moment that he tapped on the submit button, a blaring siren resounded within Aecateon’s ears.

Upon the appearance of the panel he dreaded to see, Aectaeon couldn’t stop himself from groaning inwardly.

With contempt in his eyes, Aectaeon watched as the series of transparent panels flashed quickly before his eyes. He slumped further down his seat as he felt the frustration coursing through his veins. 

‘There’s not much time between the Guessing Opportunity and the next transmigration. Meaning, I have to correctly predict what’s the last letter on my own. Luck better be on my side or hell be damned. That artefact will be an important key to my survival..’

As he thought of his unfortunate fate, Aectaeon began to regather his resolve. 

The man wanted to escape this system of endless transmigrations. However, if fate refused to align with his wishes, then there’s one thing left for him to do. 

And that was to set the system ablaze with the own fire that it created.

Game Title Guessing System: Transmigration Ltd.

Anyone would notice that Aectaeon was not too keen on having a partner. He didn't feel attracted to anyone. It's not because he was having a gender crisis. He just had his priorities sorted out.

Why would he, someone who was busy finding ways to survive, get a partner.

One might argue that having someone to share your burdens with was better than having no one. There was a charm in knowing that someone had your back during times that mattered.

It was reassuring, to say the least.

You wouldn't have to bear all of the burden by yourself.

But Aectaeon didn't see anything beneficial from having a partner. For him, having a partner would be a responsibility in itself. He also could find himself making time for someone just to appease them.

He was far too anxious from all the problems he had to deal with. He didn't need another catalyst to increase how preoccupied he was every single day.
