"Dasar wanita mandul! Aku sangat menyesal telah menyetujui pernikahan kalian!" Kalimat pedas itu meluncur dari bibir wanita yang telah melahirkan suamiku. Ya, dia adalah ibu mertuaku.

Masih banyak tuntutan demi tuntutan yang selalu ibu mertua harapkan dariku. Apakah aku harus tetap bertahan? Atau sebaiknya aku menyerah dan memilih mundur?

On the six-year anniversary of my relationship with my girlfriend, Sheila Loom, I buy some groceries with the intention to surprise her with a home-cooked meal. After I'm done, I head over to Sheila's place right away. That's when the reel I was watching automatically skips to the next one. It's a live stream where people call in to discuss legal matters. A familiar feminine voice drifts to my ears at that moment. "My boyfriend shelled out 500 thousand dollars to put me through school. I've already paid ten thousand back to him. "At first, I wanted to clear the debt before breaking up with him, but I don't want to wait any longer. If he insists on taking me to court after the breakup, can I still pay the debt off slowly?" Almost immediately, comments flood into the comments section, chewing her out and calling her a heartless wench. But the voice replies calmly, "If I truly were heartless, I wouldn't have paid him back to begin with. I no longer have feelings for him. Are you saying that I should sacrifice the rest of my life just so I can pay 500 thousand dollars back to him?" My heart skips a beat at that moment. It's true that I've spent 500 thousand dollars putting Sheila through school over the years. But I feel that I'm overthinking it, seeing as she's never brought up the matter of wanting to pay me back before. After I call Sheila repeatedly for half an hour, she finally answers my latest phone call. At the same time, the woman's phone call that's connected to the live stream is cut off. "It's my birthday today, Sheila—" "Have you secretly come looking for me again? Didn't we agree that we'll only meet up after you've successfully gotten into college?" I don't get to finish the rest of my sentence. Suddenly, I catch a glimpse of the notebook sitting on the corner of Sheila's table. The first page shows "debt repayment ledger". Some of the details are as shown. "The SAT study materials I bought for him: 188 dollars." "The Uber fees I've paid for him: 35 dollars." "The cologne I've gifted him on his birthday: 380 dollars." "Total: ten thousand dollars now paid."

"Bu Santi Tania, apa Anda yakin ingin mengakhiri pernikahan dua puluh tahun ini dan menyerahkan hak asuh anak?" "Ya. Ajukan saja permohonan perceraian. Saya sudah memutuskan," ucap aku dengan tenang melalui telepon sambil menggosok noda minyak di meja dapur granit. Selama dua puluh tahun, aku telah menyerahkan seluruh hidup aku untuk keluarga ini. Aku mengurus segala urusan rumah tangga, memastikan pendidikan anak-anak berjalan dengan baik, dan selalu berada di sisi suami aku, mendukungnya hingga ia berhasil naik ke puncak karier di sebuah konglomerat besar tanpa ada sedikit pun keluhan. Tapi suami aku, Arif Winata, malah membawa adik perempuan angkatnya, Chintya Winata, ke dalam sebuah wawancara media, lalu berkata dengan lantang, "Kesuksesan saya hari ini semua berkat bantuan saudara angkat saya." Bahkan anak-anak aku sendiri pun merendahkan aku. Mereka menyebut aku sekadar ibu rumah tangga yang biasa saja dan kasar. Mereka pun lebih memilih berpihak pada “Bibi” Chintya, wanita yang selalu ada di rumah itu, seolah-olah dia adalah nyonya rumah yang sesungguhnya. Jadi aku menandatangani surat perceraian dan pergi meninggalkan mereka, membiarkan mereka menjadi "keluarga yang sempurna" seperti mereka inginkan. Namun, sejak kepergian aku itulah, keluarga itu mulai panik ….

My coworkers and I are forcibly dragged into a bizarre game with the initial title displayed as "War of the Plants". Everyone crowds around to choose camps or safe houses with abundant water resources. I am the only one who picks a plastic apartment in the desert with no water or electricity. My female supervisor mocks me in front of everyone, saying I must be out of my mind. No one is willing to team up with me, and they even bet I won't last three days. When choosing abilities, everyone rushes for practical powers like spatial storage or metal control. I, however, choose reverse photosynthesis that allows me to gain energy from air humidity. Everyone immediately mutes me in the game. Clearly, no one wants to hear my desperate cries for help later. But when the system revokes team permissions and administrator functions, everyone is stunned. The game's name is reset to "Magnet Apocalypse".
