A Life Swap, A Road to Glory

"I choose the storage space system this time!"

That was the first thing I heard when I woke up. The hurried voice of my sister, Christina Lawson. My body should be screaming in pain, but it was not. It was then, realization struck me.

I was reborn.

In my previous life, my sister and I unlocked our own systems. The setting? The nation decades ago.

My parents had spoiled my sister rotten since she was young. She picked the best cheat, the learning system. Eventually, she married the village's most famous intellectual and had a bright future ahead of her.

I was left with the scraps she did not want, the storage space system. It was useless. I had to marry the infamous thug in the village and spent a lot of my life living in the shadows like some sort of sewer rat.

Eventually, the famine came, and things changed. Drastically.

I noticed the famine before it got worse and stocked up on a lot of food in my storage system. Thanks to that, I got through the famine and sold off my food. That propelled me to the village's richest woman status.

My sister, however, complained when she saw the mountain of homework her system prepared for her. She never wanted to work and get money. The famine almost starved her to death.

My successful life was a stark contrast to her grey and miserable one. Yet I kindly sponsored her so she could take the exam.

However, my sister screamed at me about how I was humiliating her. Hatred buried itself in her heart. She seduced my thug of a husband and worked with him to push me off a cliff, all to get my money.

My bones were smashed, and the phantom pain, I swore, remained in my body. I stared at her face. It was the one that seduced my husband. Fury swelled in my chest. "No, that system is—"

I was cut off. She slapped me across the face so hard, I fell to the ground.

Once she took the system, she stomped on me. "You do not get to say no, you bitch!" And she stomped on my face again. "This is your place! Beneath me, forever! I will use the storage space system and become the richest woman after the famine, while you will die in it!"

This was before the famine. Thanks to my parents, my sister had a strong body, yet her eyes were dripping with venom and jealousy.

My parents never liked me. I was weak, and I could never take her head on. She grabbed the learning system's books and hurled them on my body. The corners of the books crashed into my flesh and left bruises on my skin.

Smugly yet also with disdain, she looked at me. "The storage space is mine, the food is mine, and the money is mine! I will have all the best things in the world! You'll die in the famine, but chew on the books while you can."

She left in a hurry, but I picked up the books and smiled to myself. I thought, 'Oh, Christina, bet you never thought my lifelong dream was to take the exam and get into a college. My success had nothing to do with the storage space. You can never replicate it.'

My sister managed to mess up her life even with the best cheat in her possession. What a fool. Now, she chose the useless system. Perfect. If I was right, that was misery waving at her down the path.
