"Congratulations, you two are now married," the marriage officer says to the couple standing in front of him, both holding their marriage certificate.
"Why the f*** am I..." Rim starts to speak but can't bring himself to finish the sentence.
Rim turns to his side.
There's a beautiful woman in her twenties, dressed in a black suit, smiling as she looks at the marriage certificate in her hands.
Rim stares at her smiling face, completely unable to understand how he got trapped in this situation.
"Aren't you happy, honey? My dear, are you thinking about someone else?" Mira says with a playful smile, looking at Rim.
"No, honey. I'm just surprised how I ended up here and how our..." Rim trails off, unable to find the right words.
They've only known each other for one week—met on a blind date—and now, just a week later, they're married. How?
Could it be… I've actually fallen in love with this woman?
But I barely know anything about her.
All I know is her name—Mira Mourya—and that she's an Awakened. She's rich, has no shortage of anything in life, and possesses both money and power.
And me? I have nothing. My name is Rim, and I'm a reincarnated person from a planet called Earth. In this world, I'm an orphan.
Since childhood, I've experienced poverty. I had dreamed of changing my life and living comfortably here, but reality has played a cruel joke on me.
This world is called Star Planet, and it's ruled by a company called Virtual Star Company.
In this world, at the age of ten, you can awaken an ability and then become strong, living life however you want.
I thought if I awakened, my life would be all… bla… blaa… BLAAAAAAAAAAAA… blaaaaa…
But this world is dominated by women. Very few men can awaken abilities.
Men's awakening rate: 0.01%.
Women's awakening rate: 70%.
So naturally, this world is ruled by women.
And now…
"Honey, let's go home," Mira says, snapping Rim out of his thoughts.
"Huh? Yeah, sure. Let's go home," Rim replies, and as soon as he says that, Mira takes his hand and starts leading him out of the office.
The moment her hand touches his, Rim suddenly feels as if a bolt of electricity runs through him.
But he stays silent and lets Mira take him away.
