Chapter 6

Author: Golden Inkstone
Doctors kept me in for repeated rounds of examinations, and only after confirming I was completely fine did they finally discharge me.

The first thing I did was go to the bank. As I looked at the long string of numbers in my account, I slowly let out a breath of relief.

The system’s voice sounded again.

[Host, I’m leaving now. There are some truths. Would you still want to know?]

I ran my fingers over the bank card and said nothing. This unreliable system had thrown me into another world and

    “No! That’s not it!” Julian roared in despair. “You’re back now, aren’t you? My lab already got results. We extracted Elena’s system…”I let out a cold laugh and cut him off, “Your research is just you torturing others in more brutal ways and numbing yourselves with self-destruction.”Suddenly, a figure crashed through the door, holding a knife, and lunged straight at me. “Maya! It’s all because of you that I’ve become like this!”It was Elena! I barely recognized her. Her face was covered in grotesque scars. One of her eyes was gone entirely, the empty socket hollow and chilling.Julian reacted instantly. In the split second she lunged, he kicked her hard in the chest. She let out a piercing scream, flew backward, and slammed onto the ground. She lay on the ground as blood continuously spilled from her mouth.“Maya… you deserve to die! They ruined everything I had all because of you…”She did not finish her sentence. Her body went still.Julian did not even look at her. His eye

    My voice had barely fallen when a familiar force of pulling swept through my entire body. Everything around me turned into a cold, sterile white. In the next second, I was already standing outside an ICU ward.The corridor was filled with the sharp smell of disinfectant, enough to make my stomach churn.Through the glass door, a familiar yet foreign body lay motionless on the bed. It belonged to Maya, the original female lead. Her face was as white as paper. Her body was pierced with tubes of all kinds, all connected to the life-support machines beside her.The flickering lines on the monitor were the only proof she was still alive.Beside the bed, slumped in exhaustion, was a familiar figure. It was Zeph. He used to wear his white coat neatly, always composed, softly explaining lab stories to me. However, his hair was a mess now, sticking damply to his forehead. The once-fitting white coat hung loosely on him, as though it were draped over a skeleton.He slumped at the bedside, o

    I returned to the orphanage where I grew up. After the head of the orphanage, Mrs. Page passed away, the place was closed due to a lack of funding.The once lively little building had long lost its warmth. Moss crept up the walls, and the iron gate was rusted over.I stood outside the gate. My eyes stung slightly with emotion.When I was very young, I was abandoned at the orphanage gate. It was Mrs. Page who picked me up and raised me. She had been the only warmth in my life, but she passed away from illness when I was in college.Before I could ever repay her, I had already lost the only family I had in this world.She used to always say, “Maya, be someone who carries light in her heart.”It had been many years, yet I still remembered those words.Now that I had the means, I would naturally do my part to preserve that warmth for her. It took me three months to rebuild the orphanage. I renamed it Sunshine Orphanage.I hoped I could become what Mrs. Page once was for me for thes

    Doctors kept me in for repeated rounds of examinations, and only after confirming I was completely fine did they finally discharge me.The first thing I did was go to the bank. As I looked at the long string of numbers in my account, I slowly let out a breath of relief.The system’s voice sounded again.[Host, I’m leaving now. There are some truths. Would you still want to know?]I ran my fingers over the bank card and said nothing. This unreliable system had thrown me into another world and left me there for 15 years without a word. Still, it had given me a second life.After a moment of thought, I slowly nodded.[The female lead who shars your name, Maya Hayes, died unexpectedly. It caused the collapse of the world’s core structure.][To stabilize it, we had no choice but to select suitable individuals from parallel worlds as substitutes for the heroine.][You, sharing her name, suffering from terminal illness, and on the verge of death, were the optimal candidate.]The syst

    My soul hovered in midair, and I could clearly see everyone at the doorway freeze in place.Noah stumbled forward, nearly falling as he rushed to me. His trembling hands pressed desperately against the wound on my wrist. His face was deathly pale. He could barely force his voice out of his throat.“Maya… Don’t scare me… Call a doctor. Hurry, call a doctor!”The wound on his leg split open again from the strain, but he did not seem to notice. He just stared helplessly at Felix, our eldest brother, by the door with panic written all over his face.Felix came back to his sense and roared toward the maids outside, “Call the family doctor and have him stop her bleeding!”The doctor rushed in and quickly wrapped thick gauze around my wrist. However, the bright red blood still seeped through. Sweat poured down the doctor’s face. He reached out and checked my pulse, hesitating.“Mr. Felix, Ms. Hayes is already…”Felix’s eyes turned bloodshot. He did not dare to look at my wound. He only

    I frowned. My voice was calm. “Can’t I decide to get rid of something dirty?”Zeph’s chest rose and fell violently. His eyes were filled with both pain and rage. He suddenly stepped forward, crushing the protection charm beneath his shoe, grinding it hard into the floor. A cold laugh escaped him as he mocked me.“Maya, you’ve been spoiled so much that you’ve lost your conscience. You’re an ingrate!“No wonder Julian chose Elena over you. You…”“Zeph!” Felix cut him off. His tone sounded heavy.Zeph’s eyes were bloodshot as he fixed me with a long, searching stare. It was as though he was trying to find even a trace of regret or sorrow on my face. However, all he saw was an emotionless, dead calmness.His whole body trembled with anger. A suppressed growl rose in his throat. “Maya! This protection charm belongs to Elena. It was only lent to you. What right do you have to throw it away?!”Strangely, I felt nothing but calm. “I’ll replace it.” My indifference only made him explod
