System Vs Rebirth

Menikah selama tujuh tahun, Riana Handoko akhirnya berhasil mengandung. Namun, saat pemeriksaan kehamilan, dia mendapati kolom ayah pada formulir kosong. Dia pun tidak dapat menahan diri untuk menegur, "Kolom ayah anak ini seharusnya tertulis Bimo Ganendra. Apa kalian lupa mengisinya?" Hampir seluruh kalangan di Obria tahu bahwa Kepala Keluarga Ganendra sangat mencintai istrinya, bahkan bersedia menjalani vasektomi demi Riana. Petugas malah berkata dengan pasti, "Kolom ayah anak ini memang sudah kosong sejak awal pembuatan berkas." "Sebaliknya, nama Bimo Ganendra yang Anda sebut justru tercantum di kolom ayah dari anak wanita lain. Namanya Silvia Handoko. Apa Anda mengenalnya?" Kepala Riana seketika terasa meledak, tubuhnya seperti jatuh ke dalam jurang es. Semua orang di lingkaran sosial tahu bahwa Riana pernah diadopsi oleh Keluarga Handoko. Namun, pada hari ketika Keluarga Handoko menemukan putri kandung mereka yang sebenarnya, mereka mengusir Riana dengan alasan bahwa dia telah merebut kehidupan putri asli mereka selama bertahun-tahun. Putri kandung itu tidak lain adalah Silvia.

Everyone in Oceanton knew that mob boss Jared Pierce was deeply in love with me. No one feared my disappearance more than he did. Even if bullets were raining down on him, he'd still find a way to contact me, just to make sure I felt safe. But on the night before our wedding, he didn't come home. When he finally returned, he dropped to his knees, a bruised and weakened woman cradled in his arms. "Rosalia! Melody took the drug just to save me! I can't just watch her die! So I had no choice but to sleep with her." Terrified that I wouldn't forgive him, Jared drew six wounds into his arm. Blood soaked through his shirt in an instant. As soon as the wedding banquet ended, I heard his men chuckling and teasing. "The boss didn't even take off his wedding outfit before rushing to see Melody. Just how seductive is his lover?" Jared’s low, sultry voice followed. "Last time I stayed with her, I didn’t come back for three days and nights. Take a guess." In shock and despair, I called out the system. "I want to leave this world!" The system's cold voice replied, "After your exit, this world will erase all traces of your existence. Counting down… Seven days."

In the tenth year of my pursuit of Henry Stone—the profoundly devoted deuteragonist in the novel—he arranges a lavish, extravagant wedding on my behalf. I still feel uneasy even though Henry continues to love me deeply after we get married. This is because the mission progress bar displayed by the system has never moved past zero. On our wedding anniversary, I happen to stumble upon a hidden diary in Henry's desk drawer, which reveals a very shocking truth—Henry has been reborn. He possesses full knowledge that this world is a novel and that I am the antagonist who poses a threat to the protagonist, Renee Schmidt. He puts on a careful act of profound love toward me, strictly for the purpose of shielding Renee, the person he truly cares for. I have just gotten the gist of the whole situation when the system's warning goes off. "You have failed your romance mission. Your existence will be terminated within 48 hours."

My boss, Jared Princeton, sends me a contract and tells me that I can only clock out of work if I sign it. I only realize that the contract is The Devil's Contract, binding him and me together in a master-servant relationship, after I sign my initials on it. Just as I prepare to run, Jared appears right behind me and binds me with his Devil tail.

My husband, Gideon Huber, is a self-righteous hypocrite. He used my money to fund an impoverished student's education fees, forced me to donate my kidney to a homeless man, and even gave my newborn to a human trafficker. Now that I'm reborn, I finally found out why Gideon had done all those things to me in my past life. Apparently, he was bound to the virtue system in my past life. This time, the system has chosen me as its host. Well then, Gideon, please enjoy the feats of "justice" I shall perform on you!

I spent five years chasing Tyler Watson, only to get kidnapped right in front of him. He just stood there and watched. As a result, I suffered. After I escaped, he acted all high and mighty and proposed to make up for his tiny bit of guilt. The second we got our marriage certificate, the Simp System’s voice rang in my head. “Congrats, host! You’ve completed your mission.” Just like that, my sanity finally returned. While Tyler waited in a hotel for me to bring him contraceptives, I went live to expose his cheating. For good measure, I even called the anti-vice office to report my dear husband for soliciting prostitutes.

Our entire class gets dragged into The Tyrant's Atonement game. The only way to escape alive is to reach a 100% atonement score. The system lets us choose our roles. The class belle, Isolde Adler, picks the tyrant's first love. Her atonement score shoots straight to 99% on the first day. The class president, Asher Brooks, chooses to be a loyal chancellor. His atonement score jumps to 80%. Spectators watching the game flood the screen with comments. "This new batch is smart and way better at picking roles than the last. They might just clear the game in three days." "Even if just one person hits 100%, the whole class goes free. I'm looking forward to seeing who finishes first." "My money's on the first love. She's already at 99%." Just as everyone starts celebrating, the next morning hits us with bad news. All 20 classmates who picked their roles are dead, and Isolde suffers the cruelest fate of all.

Ako ang tunay na anak ng pamilya Stone. Gamit ang gossip-tracking system ko, nagkunwari akong mahinhin at masunuring tao, pero sa loob-loob ko, matindi ako gumanti sa tamang oras. Ang hindi ko napansin ay may nakakarinig sa isip ko. “Kahit na anak ka naming tunay, si Alicia lang ang tunay naming tinatanggap. Kailangan mo matututong lumugar,” sambit ng mga kapatid ko. ‘Iniisip ko na baka sinira ko ang usapan namin ng demonyo sa nakaraan kong buhay kaya ako napuntas a pamilya Stone ngayon, naisip ko. Tumigil bigla ang mga kapatid ko sa paglalakad. “Si Alice ay masunurin, may sense kausap at mahal ng lahat sa pamilyang ito. Huwag ka magsimula ng drama para lang magpapansin.” Hindi ko mapigilan isipin, ‘Kung ganoon, may sapat ang sense niya para sirain ang buhay ng lahat at mahal na mahal kayo sa puntong nakakasuka na.’ Natanga ang ekspresyon ng mga magkakapatid.

Aku adalah putri kandung Keluarga Setiawan, juga memiliki “sistem pengamat drama”. Aku memang terlihat penurut dari luar, tetapi sebenarnya penuh perlawanan dalam hati. Hanya saja, aku tidak tahu bahwa isi hatiku bisa dibaca. Kakak-kakakku berkata, “Meski kamu itu adik kandung kami, kami hanya akui Cheryl sebagai adik. Sebaiknya kamu tahu diri.” Aku bergumam dalam hati, ‘Kayaknya aku sudah singgung Raja Neraka di kehidupan sebelumnya, makanya aku dilahirkan di Keluarga Setiawan di kehidupan ini.’ Langkah kakak-kakakku tiba-tiba terhenti. “Cheryl sangat penurut, juga sayang sama semua orang di keluarga ini. Kamu jangan coba-coba cari perhatian atau buat onar.” Aku mencibir dalam hati, ‘Dia sangat penurut sampai sebabkan orang di seluruh keluarga ini tewas. Cintanya pada kalian juga begitu besar sampai-sampai dia khianati kalian.’ Kali ini, ekspresi para kakak terlihat sangat aneh.

In the tenth year of my marriage to a genius pianist, I came down with a strange illness. A month ago, my husband missed my birthday party to care for his ailing sister-in-law. Night after night, I had waited for him to return home. But that night I forgot to wait at all and went to bed early. Half a month ago, he attended an important performance with his sister-in-law. I had always been petty and prone to jealousy, yet this time I didn't get angry. I simply went home in silence. Three days ago, I fell seriously ill with a burning fever. My husband rushed back from out of town in a panic—but only to tend to his sister-in-law, whose hand had been scalded. When we ran into each other at the hospital, I was strangely calm. I, who used to be fiercely jealous, felt nothing at all. I forgot the promise we had made to grow old together. I even forgot how he once fretted over me for days when I'd scraped a bit of skin. It wasn't until he said he wanted to bring his sister-in-law home and take care of her for the rest of his life that I—my memories riddled with holes—summoned the system at last. "I want to go home."
