"The Parker sisters' and the heroine's affection levels have reached 95%! Your mission to marry the heroine, Sophie Walker, is complete! Congratulations on completing the mission! Once your body dies, you will be able to return to the real world and receive a reward of 100 million dollars!"I suppressed a surge of excitement; finally, I could go back. My oldest sister, Emily Parker, and my third sister, Iris Parker, would stay behind and keep William Reed company. They had sent my second sister, Scarlett Parker, to drag me back home.I subconsciously glanced at Scarlett, who was beside me.She had a foul expression on her face when she got into the car, as if she would rather be anywhere but here.But then, when she received a message from William, she finally smiled.Noticing my gaze, she quickly locked her phone and frowned. "What? Haven't you had enough? You're still thinking about going back and ruining Sophie and Will's relationship? Will is still young, and he's already be

It was just one sentence spoken by the System, but my tears were already welling up.I awkwardly wiped away the tears at the corners of my eyes.Scarlett walked up to me. She was about to say something when William rushed over to her in shock. "Scarlett, how did you end up so badly hurt? You—"Before he could finish speaking, I cut him off with a vicious punch.Putting a hand to his bruised cheek, William stared at me in disbelief.Almost at the same time, I was knocked to the ground by a powerful slap that caught me by surprise. I accidentally bit my tongue.Emily was pointing at me, her face filled with fury as she said, "Adrian! We've spoiled you too much! Apologize to Will right now!"I lay sprawled on the ground, spitting out the blood in my mouth as I challenged, "Me? Apologize? What exactly did I do wrong? He ruined my marriage, but I'm not allowed to hit him?"Emily grew even angrier and suddenly raised her voice. "What nonsense are you spouting? Will and Sophie were al

As my soul hung in mid-air, I could clearly see everyone at the entrance freezing on the spot.Scarlett staggered over to me, her hands trembling as she pressed hard against the wound on my wrist.Her face was deathly pale, and her voice sounded strained, like it was being forced out of her. "Ade… You're scaring me… Get the doctor! Hurry! Get the doctor!"The wound on her leg reopened because of her sudden movements, but she was completely oblivious to it. She simply stared in helpless despair at Emily, who was at the door.Emily came to her senses as well. She shouted at the maids outside, "Get the family doctor here to stop Ade's bleeding!"The doctor stumbled in and wrapped a thick layer of gauze on my wrist, but the crimson blood was still seeping through the gauze.The doctor anxiously reached out and touched my neck. Then, he said hesitantly, "Ms. Emily, Mr. Adrian is already…"Emily's eyes reddened. She didn't dare look at my wounds, so she trained her gaze on the doctor.

I went back to the orphanage I grew up in.Ever since the director, Megan Turner, passed away, the orphanage had closed down due to insufficient funding.The run-down building was a far cry from how lively it had once been. The walls were overgrown with moss, and the iron gates had rusted as well.I stood at the entrance as tears welled up in my eyes.When I was very young, I was abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage.Megan was the one who took me in and raised me.She was once the only source of warmth in my life, but she passed away from an illness when I was in college.Before I even had a chance to repay her kindness, I lost my only family in the world.She would always say, "Ade, be someone who carries light in your heart."I remembered those words for years.Now that I had become more capable, of course, I wanted to watch over this warmth in her place.I spent three months renovating the orphanage.Then, I gave it a new name, "Sunlight".I hoped I could shine a

"No! That's not true!" Sophie screamed in despair, "You're back now, aren't you? I've already produced results in my lab. We extracted William's system—"Scoffing, I cut her off. "Your so-called research is just torturing others with even crueler methods and numbing yourself through self-harm."A figure suddenly barged in through the door and ran toward me with a knife in hand. "Adrian! It's all your fault that I ended up like this!"I stared in shock at the strange yet familiar figure in front of me. It was William.His face was covered in alarming scars. One of his eyes was blind, and the hollow socket sent chills down my spine.Sophie was the quickest to react. Almost as soon as William threw himself at me, she gave him a forceful shove.With a shriek, William was sent flying, and he crashed hard onto the floor.He lay sprawled on the floor, blood oozing out of his mouth as he said, "Adrian… Go to hell! They destroyed everything I have, and it's all because of you…"He didn'
