LOGINErnesta, the daughter of a wealthy family, had lived like an orphan for over a decade after being separated from her parents as a young child. At sixteen, she was finally found and brought home. Ernesta believed her life was starting anew, that she would finally be surrounded by her family's love. But she had no idea what awaited her: her brother's judgmental gaze, her father's disdain, and her mother's feigned affection. This was because someone had completely usurped her place in the family. Her foster sister, Kiera, though unrelated by blood to the Merediths, had been raised in luxury and had become a true lady. Ernesta, the real daughter raised in a less fortunate environment, wasn't considered noble enough, elegant enough, and was treated like an outsider. On the night of Ernesta's 20th birthday, also the night her engagement to Ryder was announced, he coldly stated, “The only one I've ever loved is Kiera.” Why hadn't he said it sooner? Why did he have to say it today, in front of so many guests, making her look like a fool? To make matters worse, her father, mother, and brother all turned their backs on her to protect the deceitful Kiera. Ernesta turned and walked away. This time, she was determined to let go of the family love she had always craved. She wanted to prove to the Merediths and Ryder that her life would be even better without them. But a serious car accident nearly claimed Ernesta's life. When she awoke, a mechanical voice echoed in her ears, “Ding! Congratulations, master, on successfully installing the Life-Altering System. Your brain is severely damaged, and your body is in a vegetative state. If you want a chance to wake up, you need to complete the mission assigned by the Life-Altering System.”
View MoreErnesta wanted to repay Roger’s kindness, but right now, she was just an orphan with no power, no status. On top of that, her adoptive father was lurking around, trying to take her heart. She really had nothing of value to offer.After thinking for a moment, Ernesta asked Roger,“Do you want to play a game?”Roger was caught off guard. The conversation had been serious, and suddenly Ernesta brought up something completely unrelated. Before he could voice his confusion, she added,“It’s a game I designed. Want to try it?”Roger’s attention immediately shifted. He looked surprised.“You know how to design games? Like your sister?”“Are you playing or not?” she repeated, not wanting to explain further.Of course Roger wanted to. He had no idea Ernesta had this kind of skill, and he was really curious what kind of game she had made.After Roger took out his phone, Ernesta sent him a file. He opened it and installed the game. In no time, the interface popped up. It was still the same Ernie
Hearing some commotion outside, Ernesta guessed that Fiona and Ralph had returned. As someone who deeply cared for her younger sister and knew Fiona’s illness had relapsed, she naturally had to check on her.The moment she poked her head out, she saw Ralph carrying Fiona into the room. She quickly rushed over and asked with concern,“Fiona, are you alright?”Fiona kept her eyes closed, unwilling to respond to Ernesta. But since Ralph was present, she didn’t dare to act too harshly and replied,“I’m feeling really unwell.”Ralph laid Fiona down on the bed, covered her with a blanket, then gently stroked her hair and said softly,“Rest now. Don’t overthink it. What matters most right now is taking care of your health.”He didn’t mention a single word about what had happened earlier that afternoon, which made Fiona quietly breathe a sigh of relief.As soon as Ralph left, Fiona's expression changed completely toward Ernesta.“What do you want from me? Are you secretly gloating right now?”
At that moment, Ralph slowly stepped in from outside. No one knew how long he had been there or how much he had heard.Fiona’s face turned ghostly pale, her breathing quick and unsteady as if she might faint at any second.Ralph didn’t seem to notice her distress. He walked straight to the computer, took the programmer’s seat, and started testing the game himself.After five minutes, he looked up at Ernesta, his eyes full of admiration.“Did you write this?” he asked.Ernesta nodded. “Yes.”Ralph smiled, his expression noticeably softer. It was the first time he had ever smiled at her.“You should keep learning programming. Stick with it, and don’t give up.”Ernesta hesitated, glancing at Ralph, then at Fiona, before speaking cautiously.“But… Fiona…”“You don’t need to worry about her. I’ll talk to Fiona. Your job is to develop your talent and give it your best.”This time, Fiona didn’t even have to pretend to be sick, because she truly felt unwell.Ever since Ralph walked in, he had
As soon as Ernesta finished speaking, 001 blurted out,“Master, what are you doing? You can't harm the female lead! That’s what antagonists do, and antagonists in novels never have a good ending. If this goes wrong, our mission will fail!” Its voice was still flat and robotic, but it was talking way faster than usual.Ernesta shot back,“Take a good look. Who’s really trying to hurt who here? And besides, this isn’t just some novel anymore. This is a real, complete world.”001 didn’t know how to respond. The female lead was supposed to be the good guy, but if that were true, why was she falsely accusing its master of stealing her work? It felt completely lost, maybe it needed a system update to process all of this.Ernesta ignored 001’s internal crisis and got back into character.“I can prove I made this game. Are you still sticking with that story?” she asked Fiona.Fiona suddenly felt uneasy, but she was already in too deep, there was no backing out now. She just had to go with it
Seeing Ernesta's confident air, Fiona gave her a supportive smile, secretly excited to wait for her sister to get flustered and embarrassed.She said, “Okay, now I'll ask you a question. Let's say you have a variable x = 10 and a variable y = “10”. What are the data types of x and y, and why? Expla
“001, why doesn't the novel mention how bad Fiona's condition is?” Ernesta asked.001 didn't answer right away like it usually does. A few seconds passed before it replied,“Master, maybe Roger gave us wrong information.”Ernesta laughed at how clueless it was. She said,“Fiona's a client of Roger'
After school today, Roger saw the school bullies trailing the new girl. He couldn't help but feel worried and secretly followed them.Sure enough, just as he predicted, after Ernesta went into the bathroom, the four tough girls blocked the door, waiting for her to come out. But unlike usual, this t
In a blink, all the memories of this body's owner washed over Ernesta, filling her mind. From the everyday routines to the major life changes, everything played out vividly in her head. Seventeen years of life were absorbed in just a few seconds. Ernesta was amazed by the system's incredible power.
