LOGINAfter I got a second shot at life, the very first thing I did was enroll in an intensive weight-loss boot camp. In my past life, my boyfriend was always on my case about my weight. He flat-out told me he wouldn't put a ring on it unless I got down to a hundred pounds. I tried every diet and workout plan out there—I pushed myself to the edge—but instead of losing, I packed on even more pounds. Meanwhile, my so-called best friend ate cheeseburgers, fries, and pizza like it was her job and still dropped from 130 pounds to a hundred in less than a month. The second she hit that magic number, my boyfriend's head turned. They started sneaking around behind my back. When I finally confronted them, they shoved me off a rooftop. It wasn't until after I died that I discovered the truth: my "best friend" had linked herself to a weight-transfer system. Every single pound I struggled to lose went straight to her. And every ounce of fat she should have gained? It landed right back on me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the exact day my boyfriend gave me his hundred-pound ultimatum. With every memory of my past life intact, I couldn't help but smile. My best friend wants to be skinny, does she? Well then, let's see how she likes being nothing but skin and bones. Let's see if forty-five pounds is skinny enough for her.

That was the only reason I was saved in time.I spent a few days recovering in the hospital before being discharged.As for Lauren, she was held in the prison's medical ward.I went to visit her.The moment she saw me, she snarled and cursed."So close… I was so close! I almost had it!"Jen, why does the universe favor you? Why wasn't it you who died?! You're the one who deserves to die! You should be the one with organ failure!"Listening to her rant, I could only see how utterly pathetic she had become.I met her gaze. "You did this to yourself, Lauren. It was your own greed that let the system control you."The moment she heard the word "system," her eyes flickered with a frantic hope—a final lifeline. But when she realized the word had come from my mouth, she froze."You… you know about the system?""Of course. I've known f
After dealing with that mess, I actually enjoyed a brief period of peace.I heard that Lauren kept clinging to Zach, but he threw her out on the spot. Their scandal spread through the company, and the management promptly fired Zach.I treated it all like a joke.What I didn't expect was for Lauren to come looking for me.She knelt at my door, begging for forgiveness."Jen, we've been best friends for so many years. Can you give me one more chance?"Sisterhood over men! Jen, please forgive me, just this once!"…Day after day, she used every sweet word she could think of, even camping outside my door. Every night, even through the closed door, I could hear her muttering to herself.When I pressed my ear closer, I realized she was talking to her system.She thought I didn't know. She was still scheming, still trying to find a way to exchange weight with me.Then one night, in the middle of the night, she coughed up blood and fainted right outside my door.A neighbor found her
Hearing his words, Lauren stared at Zach in disbelief, her eyes full of hurt."You told me if Jen couldn't lose weight, you would marry me!" she protested.Zach scoffed. "Look at yourself. Who wouldn't feel sick just seeing you?"He tilted a bottle of beer and poured it right in front of her."Open those eyes of yours and take a good look. What kind of desperate idiot would be interested in a freak like you?"Lauren didn't dare glance at her reflection in the spilled beer. She could only babble excuses."This is just an accident. It'll get better. In a few days, I'll go back to normal—Zach, you have to believe me!"She crawled toward him, reaching for the hem of his pants, but he kicked her aside without hesitation.Then she had to watch, helpless and humiliated, as Zach turned to me, begging for forgiveness."Jen, I was confused for a moment. Please forgive me just this once! How could I possibly like that ugly monster? What happened just now was just a wedding prank!"Zach
"Ghost! There's a ghost!"Lauren hobbled into the room in her bridesmaid dress, limping in crooked circles. She was nothing but skin stretched over bones, her eyes bulging like brass bells, her hair fallen out until she looked half-bald. Her clothes hung off her like old rags. At this point, she looked more terrifying than a mummy.Weakly, she reached a skeletal hand toward Zach. "Zach… Zach, I'm here."But Zach collapsed to the floor in fright, eyes wide as saucers. "You—how did you turn into… this thing? You look neither human nor ghost!"He couldn't believe the shriveled scarecrow in front of him was the same seductive Lauren who had flirted with him just two weeks ago.Step by step, Lauren shuffled toward him. From her bony fingers, she pulled out a man's ring and lifted it toward him as if to slip it onto his hand."Zach, I knew you would choose me. We're going to be together forever."But the moment Zach's fingers brushed her wrinkled, papery skin, he recoiled instinctivel
