Chapter 1

I jolted awake when I heard the sound of crashing metal coming from the other side of the door.The pain of being burned to death was still fresh in my memory. But when I lifted my hand, I saw that my body was completely unharmed. For a moment, I felt dazed.Had I… been reborn?I was still in shock, but the constant sound of things being smashed outside interrupted my thoughts. Feeling rather confused, I opened the door—just in time to see the stupid grin on Stuart Harper's face as he ran up to me, eagerly fishing for praise."Benny, I'm tearing out that layer of foam! The apartment's way bigger now. I'll let you have half of the extra space."The horrific memories of my previous life came flooding back at once, and I nearly snorted right at him.The last time around, I'd put a stop to it immediately and explained to Stuart what insulation was for. But he didn't pay the least bit of attention to what I said, of course. He even asked me if I'd been scammed into believing that.It

Stuart froze. Looking visibly caught, he started yelling at me."So what if I didn't tell Mr. Ferguson about it? I'm spending my own money to help him renovate the place! He'd be thrilled when he sees that his apartment has gotten even bigger!"I stopped the audio recording on my phone and waved Stuart off, saying, "Go ahead with your renovation work then. It's best if you can give Mr. Ferguson a huge surprise. I have class to attend, so I'm heading out now."I started leaving the apartment early and coming back late to deliberately avoid running into Stuart. A few days had passed without any incident before I suddenly got a call from Mr. Ferguson."You owe me an explanation, Mr. Langley!" Mr. Ferguson snapped at me, his voice furious and frantic. "Why did you damage my property without prior permission? Don't you know that what you did is illegal?"For a moment, I was utterly confused. When did I damage the apartment? All I did at the apartment was sleep there at night. I didn't

The washing machine was filled with shattered tableware, the ceramic shards piling together at the base. No wonder the machine was beeping nonstop.All along, I thought Stuart was just clueless when it came to basic life skills. But now, I was beginning to wonder if he might actually have some kind of intellectual disability.Meanwhile, upon hearing my question, Stuart started to act all hurt and blamed everything else but himself for the situation."If a washing machine can wash clothes, why can't it wash dishes? There's nothing on it that says it's not allowed. The plates were so dirty and greasy. I didn't want to touch them with my own hands. Who knew they'd be so fragile anyway? I can't believe they broke so easily."It's fine. This doesn't scare me. I'm a brave and responsible guy!"I couldn't even think of something to say. While I wasn't sure if Stuart had any ounce of bravery in him, I was certain he would soon be expected to fork out another sum in compensation again."T

The moment I saw that electric slow cooker, the pain of being burned to death washed over me again.Even though our relationship had soured pretty badly, Stuart continued to act as if nothing had happened. He came over and bumped into my shoulder as if we were friends."Look, Benson! I got an electric slow cooker. I'll make some soup for you later, so that we can warm up to each other again. We're roommates, after all. We're going to be living together for a long time. You can use my electric slow cooker whenever you want. I genuinely consider you my friend!"I'd learned in my previous life just how genuine that friendship was.I took a step back before saying coldly, "Save it. It's best if you learn not to cross the boundaries. I don't plan on being friends with you."Stuart's eyes flickered a little before he drew closer to me again. "Don't just say that out of anger, Benson. I know I made a mistake. I won't do those things again."We both came to a foreign country alone. Isn't

As soon as I finished moving into my new place, Mr. Ferguson called to ask why I had terminated the lease. I thought it over for a moment before giving a frank answer."Because I couldn't get along with the other tenant. He was always doing something ridiculous. He also harassed me and tried to break into my bedroom. To ensure my personal safety, I figured the best option for me was to move out."Mr. Ferguson seemed fully aware that Stuart was trouble. He exchanged a few perfunctory remarks with me before ending the call.Although the new apartment was a little further from campus, I felt a lot better knowing that I didn't have a troublemaking housemate.From this point onward, Stuart had nothing more to do with me. It was none of my business whether the electric slow cooker ended up dooming him or not.Just after I finished unpacking, I heard the sound of fire engines. I looked out the window and saw that the previous apartment I stayed at was already engulfed in flames. Thick sm

Stuart was an international student. Since something this serious had happened, his family had to be notified. His parents immediately hopped onto the earliest flight and arrived overnight.The moment they saw Stuart lying in a hospital bed, wrapped head to toe in bandages, they broke down and began ranting their heads off."I knew something like this would happen!" Mrs. Harper cried out."I already said you should never have been allowed to go abroad, but you insisted that there would be a lot more opportunities over here. You said you'd be able to find yourself a rich wife. You said you'd be able to bring our entire family, including your younger brother, over here to live a life of luxury!"But look what happened. How are you going to land a rich wife with your face looking like this now? We've wasted all our savings on you! Get moving. We're going back to Candoria."I know a factory that's willing to hire people without any academic qualifications. They certainly won't care abou

Using my family's company's official social media account, I uploaded the police report, along with a full translation of the document."Why are you still trying to twist the truth around, Stuart Harper? The police have already closed the case. If you disagree with their findings, you're free to present any supporting evidence you may have and file an appeal whenever you want."Stuart panicked when he saw that I'd exposed the police report. He became visibly flustered, but Mrs. Harper confidently instructed him on how to challenge me head-on."You're rich and powerful, Benson. It's easy for you to bribe the police. How is a guy from an ordinary family like me supposed to fight against you? I can't even defend myself when you present this so-called evidence against me. The only thing I can do is use the injuries I've sustained to prove that my decision now is an act of courage!"He deliberately resorted to stirring up class resentment among the online community and appealing to the

After that incident, the hospital refused to continue treating Stuart. They kicked him out of the hospital even though he hadn't fully recovered from his burns yet.The college also expelled Stuart. He and his parents were all forcibly deported from the country. The authorities back in Candoria were tasked with making sure the Harpers paid the compensation they owed.When the Harpers returned to their hometown, they discovered that all of their possessions had been sold off, even their house. The only thing they came back to was the disheveled Shane Harper, Stuart's younger brother.Falling back onto old tricks, they tried to twist things around and play the victim to garner pity in the hopes that some kind suckers would donate money to them. However, the online community recognized them, and they once again went viral, with everyone dogpiling onto them.Once everyone realized the family had been deported back to Candoria, the people who were furious at having been deceived finally
