After the proposal, the Valkyrie came to the door

Anliang, like Kevin, works as a corporate slave every day, and his salary can never compare to that of a wildly popular video blogger like Alicia.

Alicia didn't want her fiancé to work so hard, fearing it would damage his stomach.

Therefore, the genius fairy lady came up with the idea of ​​letting Anliang live off her.

Moreover, Alicia was quite interested in experiencing what it would feel like for Anryo to be kept by her and have to rely on her.

Hehehe, that feeling of completely possessing and labeling your beloved man should be pretty great, right...?

Alicia recalled the plot she had read in romance novels, and a hint of anticipation flashed across her pretty face.

But Anliang's resolute answer shattered the fairy's fantasy of becoming a domineering heroine.

"No, I have no interest in being a kept man."

He rested his arm behind his head, his tone calm yet resolute.

"Although you do earn more than me, Ellie, you only stream sporadically, so your income isn't very stable, is it?"

"Hmm, Miss Fairy can also do a live stream every day!"

“But that would be too boring for you… You like fun things, and you occasionally do live streams and make videos simply to share your joy. If that becomes your daily work, you definitely won’t find it fun anymore.”

Anliang gripped Alicia's hand slightly tighter.

"I don't want you to change yourself for me, and since I'm your lover, how can I possibly leave the responsibility of supporting this family to you alone?"

"Anliang..."

Looking at the man who was so considerate of her, the girl's expression was filled with emotion, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with affection.

An Liang chuckled softly, gave Alicia a light kiss on the lips, and then got up and got out of bed.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go to sleep."

"Aren't you going to sleep with Miss Fairy? We're already engaged, it's okay to be a little intimate, right?"

"Hehe, just don't let things get too intimate and someone beg for forgiveness later."

Anliang chuckled dismissively, not taking Alicia's words seriously.

This little vixen is only bold in words; in reality, she's more conservative than many of the Valkyries he's encountered in past reincarnations.

Instead of Kiana or Bronya...

Even if he wanted to leave at that point, the two of them would definitely force him to stay.

Then there's Mei, the girl who wields lightning. She seems gentle and approachable, but once a relationship is established, her possessiveness is much stronger than her two companions.

In addition, there are Fu Hua, Seele, Theresa...

Beautiful figures unconsciously surfaced in his mind; these were girls who had had relationships with Anliang in countless reincarnations.

At first glance, An Liang seems like a scumbag, having ambiguous relationships with so many Valkyries.

But he is actually a pure-hearted warrior.

In each cycle, Anliang will only establish a relationship with one Valkyrie at most, and will never do anything like having two relationships at the same time.

Anliang even initially considered being with the same Valkyrie in every reincarnation.

However, apart from him, no one else can retain memories in the cycle of reincarnation.

When the Valkyrie, who once loved him deeply, saw him again, her unfamiliar gaze was like a sharp knife, leaving Anliang, who remembered those sweet memories, heartbroken.

Call it escapism or weakness, but he gave up the idea of ​​loving only one person in the continuous cycle of reincarnation.

Later on, Anliang even stopped dating and devoted all his energy to speedrunning the Cocoon of the End.

Thankfully, it's all over now...

An Liang shook his head, his eyes returning to calm.

He has broken the cycle of reincarnation.

In this entirely new timeline, since he has chosen Alicia, he will no longer be attracted to other women.

Anliang remained steadfast in her path of pure love.

Even if he were to encounter a Valkyrie with whom he had a past relationship, Anliang would not change his mind.

Besides, Kiana and the others don't have memories of past reincarnations.

Even if he wanted to rekindle their old flame, the Valkyries in this timeline would probably look down on a penniless ordinary guy like him...

An Liang chuckled to himself as he slowly walked to the door of Alicia's room.

Looking back, I saw the fairy girl sitting up in bed, clutching a pillow, seemingly trying to make him stay with her pitiful eyes.

An Liang smiled.

He gently closed the door for Alicia, leaving only a magnetic, gentle voice echoing in the room.

Goodnight, love you, see you tomorrow.

P.S.: The protagonist is a pure and devoted lover, but what if, as mentioned in the synopsis, the Valkyries come knocking on his door with memories of their past together? How will he handle that? Hehehe, I can't wait to find out!

And then, Happy Children's Day to everyone! Although the author is already over eighteen, I still want some votes as a Children's Day gift!

Chapter 6: Unemployed Artist Wants to Go to Sea

Leaving Alicia...

Anliang returned to his room, his smile quickly turning into a frown.

Although he rejected his fiancée's invitation to live off her and vowed that he wouldn't let her shoulder the burden of the family alone, his own situation was far from optimistic.

"In modern society, even a penny can stump a hero."

The man who had defeated the Cocoon of the End sighed, took out his phone, and checked his bank account balance.

Your personal account's current savings balance is 1145.14 yuan.

Looking at the four-figure balance that reeked of money, An Liang immediately felt immense pressure.

After working as a corporate slave for half a year, he had actually saved up tens of thousands of yuan. However, Anliang spent most of his money on buying a ring in order to propose to Alicia.

This wouldn't normally be a problem.

Earning money is for spending. Even if he has almost spent it all now, Anliang's wallet will naturally be full again when his salary arrives next month.

however……

Anliang never imagined that he would lose his job at the very moment when he was most in need of money.

"Oh dear, this is really bad. Forget about next month, it's questionable whether I'll even get my salary this month."

Anliang fell backward, landing on the soft bed.

He reached out to the white ceiling, the shadow of his outstretched fingers casting a shadow over his wry smile.

Life is unpredictable, and the world is full of uncertainties.

The reason he lost his job was not because he made any mistakes at work, but because his company went bankrupt.

Before transmigrating, An Liang was an art student. Although he failed his postgraduate entrance exam, his drawing skills were actually quite good.

In this everyday world where things haven't collapsed, Anliang decides to return to his original passion, pick up his old profession, and make a living with his drawing skills.

After some hard work.

Anliang successfully joined a well-known second-hand game company, where he was responsible for drawing character concept art.

This second-hand game company has been established for quite some time and has developed a highly popular mobile game called "Gun Girls". It has a group of loyal players and is not a small company without a solid foundation.

When An Liang joined the company, it just so happened that the second-hand game company called "Juzha" was making a sequel to the gun girl mobile game.

It's both a favorite all-female game among otaku and has the built-in popularity of its predecessors...

In my opinion, this game is bound to be a huge hit; we can make a fortune just waiting for the public beta.

You're lucky; you caught a good time.

Even if I joined the company later in life, my year-end bonus shouldn't be much less!

However, just as Anliang was about to open the champagne, the unexpected happened.

There is never a shortage of fools in the world who can squander a winning hand.

An Liang, who was only in charge of character illustrations, was unaware of the other aspects of the game. It wasn't until the third closed beta test began that he discovered the game's creators had pulled off an incredible feat in terms of the storyline.

Even now, Anliang still can't understand it...

What kind of thought process could lead someone to assign a female character who had many players' vows in the previous game to have an ambiguous relationship with an NPC in the sequel?

What's even more outrageous is that instead of making immediate changes after the game's collapse, they seem determined to drag things out with the players.

That ruined the game's reputation; it lost money from the moment it launched, and Juzha Company's cash flow dried up, ultimately leading to bankruptcy.

"How can we play a good game with this bunch of insects?!"

Anliang thought about the whole process of his unemployment and started complaining indignantly.

He had tried his best to make the female characters both beautiful and sexy, but unfortunately his teammates were even worse than Otto, and he couldn't carry the team at all.

Otto is just bad, he likes to backstab people in the back, but he's not stupid. In fact, Otto is more reliable than most people when it matters.

Rather than working with that bunch of idiots at Juzha Company, Anliang would rather trip up Otto.

"Forget it, the company has already gone bankrupt, there's no point in complaining anymore."

An Liang clenched his fists slightly, his expression regaining its composure. "The most urgent thing is to find a new job as soon as possible."

In fact, he had already started looking for another job after learning that the company was going to go bankrupt.

However, the economy is not doing well these days, which has led to a shrinking market share for the gaming industry, and major gaming companies have begun to reduce hiring.

Although Anliang solved his identity problem through Alicia's connections, his work experience was only a few months at Juzha Company, and his resume was not outstanding, so not many companies were willing to hire him.

"I submitted dozens of resumes, but only five companies were willing to interview me."

"I had three interviews today, but I didn't get any of them. I can only pin my hopes on the two interviews tomorrow..."

Anliang glanced at the memo on his phone, which contained his plans for tomorrow.

I went for an interview at 10 a.m. at Tencent Games' branch office, which is the largest game company in China. To be honest, Anliang wasn't confident of success.

As for the afternoon...

The company he was going to interview with was called Principle Studio, a little-known small company.

Anliang only knew that this small company was originally called miHoYo, and had made a puzzle-solving flight shooting game, but it was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor sales. It was recently acquired and renamed.

He should be able to pass the interview at the Principles Studio.

The problem is that these small companies generally don't offer very high salaries.

"From a generally rational perspective, it's good enough to find a job at this time; even a lower salary is better than nothing..."

An Liang pursed his lips and said with a deep gaze.

"But from a personal perspective, I hope I can earn more money than Alicia, otherwise I'll still feel like I'm living off a woman."

It is well known that economic power determines the family's voice.

If they cannot achieve equal economic status, then he will definitely be at a disadvantage compared to Miss Fairy.

If the fairy mistress pretends to be kind and occasionally gives him expensive gifts, and he is unable to reciprocate, then he is actually still in a state of being kept.

He might choose to live off a woman, but that's not in Anliang's character.

"Phew, let's just focus on getting this job first."

Anliang closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, seemingly having made a plan in mind.

"If the salary is really just so-so, then I'll have to use my other identity in the illustrator world!"

Those who frequently browse pink comic apps know that if artists want to make quick money, then going into adult entertainment is the best way.

This is not something difficult to talk about.

In the Far East, many cartoonists see adult content as a way to make money, and they occasionally create adult-oriented content under different pseudonyms to earn money.

However, Anliang didn't think that much about it at first.
