A Life Swap, A Road to Glory Chapter 7 A Bright Future
Thanks to my system's help, Zacharias and I gained more knowledge, and soon, it was the exam.We were going to go into the hall. Zacharias told me he wasn't nervous, but I knew his past failures were thanks to his nerves. He got nervous and came down with a fever during the exam. Both times.I held his hand, stuffed a rosary into his hand, and asked him to make a wish. "I got this from a church far away. The priest said it's blessed. Write your wish down, and it comes true."Zacharias smiled. "Thought all the reading would make you more grounded in reality. Guess you're still superstitious."I beamed. "I am grounded in reality, but just this once, I want to believe in the supernatural. Just for you."Something in his eyes gleamed, and then with determination, he wrote down his wish. He hung the rosary on a tree, and it swayed in the wind.As I took a closer look, I realized the wish he made had nothing to do with himself. Still, I teared up.The wish read, 'I wish that my wife c
A Life Swap, A Road to Glory Chapter 6 Shameless Mother
In my previous life, when I realized the harvest was not that good, I knew a famine might come in winter. With the storage space providing perpetually constant temperature, I harvested wheat and beans at a blistering rate. That saved the village from starvation.I had no storage space this time, but I told the city's researchers that controlled temperature could make crops grow faster, and I asked them to sow the seeds early.It was about time to harvest and spread food to save the village. The captain told me about the good news right after he was told about it himself.The villagers found out I saved them from a starving winter, and they huddled around me, happy as they praised my name."I knew you could do it, Catherine! Can't believe Christina said you were a bitch! Bet she's jealous, so she made up stories.""Can't believe their mother's blind. She would neglect a nice girl like Catherine just to spoil a witch like Christina.""Studying's good. How else are you supposed to k

"I wasn't going to murder her, captain, but she ganged up with all these people to rob us!" She cried as she fell to the ground. And she cried and cried and cried like the world was going to collapse.Christina pointed at John, who was down and breathing heavily. "Catherine's gang beat my husband up, captain! This is a crime! This is an injustice!"The captain frowned, but the crowd was not going to let Christina twist the story."Catherine did not ask us to rob her! Christina stole our food, and we want it back!""That woman tossed our food out and wasted it! Then she made John beat us up!""You have to help us, captain! We need food to survive! Without any supplies coming in, we'll die!"Christina was dark as a storm. These people were on her side when she attacked me, but now they were against her. She put on the look of a madwoman and roared, "Nonsense! You're lying! Where's your proof?"I stepped forth and pointed at the feathers and hair on the ground. Calmly, I said, "The

The solemn season of fall came to an end, and it quickly tumbled into winter. The one I knew very well. The one where the famine hit in my past life.Everyone was running out of food. Not even rations were available anymore. Greens and potatoes could not be found anywhere. Then someone was reminded of Christina."Christina's been stocking up on food before the winter. Heard she used her wedding gift to buy food, and she took her sister's family's stock for herself. I bet she has enough food.""Oh, she stayed at my place for a bit and wanted to buy my chicken. I said no, and then my chicken went missing. I know she did it.""My dog too!""Hey, my cow too!""She got my pig too. As if winter's not hard enough for us already.""The bitch said she'd share the Shaws' food with us, but all she gave us was a little money, and she demanded my family's food!"Fury burned in the hearts of the people. Their starvation had something to do with Christina."Let's get her and make her give us

Zacharias sold whatever valuables he had and wrote to his family just to take out a loan. In the end, he gathered 500 dollars and gave it to Christina.Christina married John, and she looked glamorous.Once we got married, I gave Zacharias an IOU and told him I'd pay him back."You don't have to." He tore the IOU apart. "Money's not important. Sometimes a harder life works wonders for a scholar."He turned on the lamp and started reading, his face unreadable. I stared at his profile and was reminded of his end in my previous life.He gave all the food he had to Christina, and the famine took his life. Zacharias took the exam two times. He wanted to study, to go higher, but alas, he never could take the exam after the famine.Christina ruined his life. Poor thing.I wrapped up the revision books the system gave me and placed them on his desk. "I brought nothing to this family. Nothing but these books. If you don't mind, we can read together."Good books were hard to find in th
A Life Swap, A Road to Glory Chapter 2 Cruel Family
"No! I cannot let you marry that thug! I will not! You're my precious daughter!"Christina held our mother's hand and swayed it. She cooed, "John Doe is not a thug, Mom! He's an honest farmer. Strong and brave too! You can't insult him!"Oh God, her cloying voice almost made me throw up. Unbelievable. She must know no shame if she could twist a crass thug like John into an honest farmer. She thought his violence was strength and courage?I knew why she picked John all of a sudden. In my previous life, I kept the food in my storage space, but cooking in a famine was more obvious than fire in the night. The starving people gathered their forces and tried to take my food away.John, being a thug, would never let anyone take his food. Thanks to me, he had full meals all the time. With his size and strength, he fought the starving people off, and there were dozens of them. Thanks to him, our food was safe.Christina was one of the leaders of those people. John beat her up pretty badly,
