He Only Loved Me When I Was Dead

Synopsis

The day I died, Ethan Ford was marrying his first love, Emily Lane. The system's mechanical voice counted down inside my head. "Mission failed. Host will be permanently erased." Through the livestream, I watched Ethan slip the ring onto Emily's finger—then closed my eyes with a smile. My body dissolved into specks of light in that rented room. Not a single trace remained. The next second, mid-vow, Ethan's face drained of color. He clutched his chest and crumpled to the floor. For a decade-late notification finally chimed inside his mind. "Affection level detected exceeding 100%. Congratulations, Host. Host?" He fled the church like a madman, only to find every trace of me vanishing from the world at a terrifying speed. Even my name on our marriage certificate faded to nothing.
