Lahat ng Kabanata ng My System Made Me Pick the Villain: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

The pouring rain soaked me to the bone.The feeling of suffocation grew worse as the air was slowly forced from my lungs. My vision went dark.The system's warning was sharp and piercing."New target selected successfully. Current health: 1%.""Establish physical contact with the new target immediately, or you will be erased!"I stared at Chloe Rivera in the distance. She was picking up plastic bottles along the emergency shoulder of the highway.Everyone at school knew she was a poor student. She was also the "villain" Samantha Bailey kept talking about.But I couldn't worry about any of that anymore. I quickly crawled toward her and let muddy water fill my mouth.Chloe was clearly scared by the crazy person who suddenly came rushing out of the rain.She cautiously stepped back and held her woven bag tightly. "Don't come any closer! There are cameras here. Don't even think about setting me up. I don't have any money!"Chloe turned and tried to run.I used the last bit of strength I h

Chloe's eyes lit up. She rolled up her sleeves and stepped right in front of Samantha. "Ma'am, didn't you hear what my boss said? Please leave right now.""Ma'am? You bitch! How dare you talk to me like that!" Samantha was furious and immediately raised her hand to slap Chloe.But Chloe quickly blocked her. She had worked all kinds of part-time jobs to pay her tuition, so she had a surprisingly strong grip.Samantha was wearing high heels, and Chloe's shove made her lose her balance. She fell straight into Charles's arms.Samantha froze in disbelief for a moment before suddenly screaming. "Ouch! My foot!"Charles quickly caught her and then yelled at me. "Nathaniel! You're just going to let this thug bully Samantha? You're such a useless man!"I picked up an apple from the table beside my bed and took a bite. "You call me useless, but what makes you so useful? You just called Chloe a thug. Then what does that make you two? You were the ones who drove my car and left me on the highway

"You look so pathetic now. What happened to all that fire you had?" Charles looked at me smugly as he kicked me in the shoulder.Samantha clung to him with a disgusted look on her face.The students watching us started whispering among themselves."Hmm... He's so stubborn. He's still putting on an act.""He just wants to play the victim and get sympathy. He hopes Samantha will forgive him.""He has no shame. How did I never notice it before?"I lay on the cold ground, my whole body shaking from the pain caused by the system's punishment.Their cruel guesses and mocking words hurt almost as much as the pain in my body.The pain and frustration were pushing me to the edge.I raised my head and glared at the crowd. "Shut the hell up!"Only six seconds remained."This damn system is trying to kill me... I won't accept this... Everything was going so well at first!"I felt completely hopeless and was close to passing out.But then a furious shout brought me back to my senses. "Don't you dar

My relationship with Chloe became the biggest gossip at school the very next day.There were already more than 1,000 posts on the school forum."Breaking! The campus prince dumps his rich beauty for a poor underdog.""Analysis: Who is Nathaniel's new flame, Chloe?"The photos showed me cleaning Chloe's wound outside the school building.The angle made the picture look far more intimate than it really was.The comments were even harsher."How shameless. Chloe would really do anything for money.""She must have seduced Mr. Nathaniel. Girls like her are experts at playing the victim.""Poor Samantha. That girl actually stole her boyfriend."Chloe sat across from me, eating takeout from a five-star hotel while scrolling through her phone.She was completely absorbed in the comments and kept clicking her tongue. "Boss, look. They're calling me a man-stealer. They're also saying I brainwashed you."Chloe looked up at me. "Boss, they've ruined my reputation. Don't you think you should compens

Samantha's revenge came faster than I expected, and it was even more vicious.The next day, the school forum and local social media were filled with dirt about Chloe."Poor Girl Marries Into a Rich Family for Money, but Her Brother Is Actually a Gambler Buried in Debt!"The posts looked very convincing. They not only exposed Chloe's home address but also posted photos of her brother, Jason Rivera, lying in a hospital bed with his leg in a cast.Under the photos were fake casino debt-collection notices.Chloe quickly became the target of online hate. People called her a family-obsessed fool and a scheming gold digger.When I found her, she was sitting alone by the apartment window, staring at her phone.I walked over and was about to take her phone away when she grabbed my wrist instead. "Boss, can your lawyers put them in prison?"Chloe's voice was very calm.I froze for a moment before answering, "Yes. Defamation and spreading false rumors can carry a prison sentence of up to three ye
