Jade finally understood. It all made sense. There had been only one explanation all along:
She was having a nightmare.
It had to be. Before sleeping, she was very stressed out so she read that stupid novel to relax. Then she started having this nightmare. Hehe, not bother. Her alarm will wake her up when it's time.
' I think I overestimated your intelligence. Activating electrocution.' The cold voice says.
Jade felt electric current pass through her body, she felt like screaming.
' Are you convinced it's not a nightmare?' The cold voice says.
Okay she was not dreaming.
' Okay. I understand. I died and reincarnated as a villain, so now who are you?' Jade asks.
' I'm Jade Thompson, your system.' The cold voice replied.
' Since when did systems duplicate your name? I thought your name will be something like Aji3 ,T6 or something i will name you.' Jade says.
' My name is Jade Thompson and you are in my body.' The cold voice replied impatiently.
' Wait, so you are the original host? I've never heard of the host becoming a system. Well that's great! The book says you are a genius, then you can direct me to an antique store and make me win the jackpot then we can live a salted fish life. We can buy a big house, with an indoor pool and.....'
' Shut up.'
' Complete tasks to improve your lifespan. Current lifespan: 30 days.' System Jade says.
' Can you not talk using genius language?' Jade replies.
System Jade sighs.
' It means that unless you complete tasks and gain points, you will die in 30 days.' System Jade replies.
Jade began panicking. She just got here,she didn't want to die yet.
' What do I do?' Jade asks.
' Bringing up mission panel.' System Jade replies.
Mission: Get first place in the resumption test.
Time left: 21 days, 9 hours, 39 minutes and 52 seconds.
Punishments: -1 beauty, -1 intelligence, 30 minutes electrocution, -1 week
Rewards: +1 beauty, +1 intelligence, 30 minutes unlimited stamina. +1 year, + 30 points.
' First Place? Why don't you kill me?' Jade began panicking again.
' Host calm down. You will receive a newbie package from the system.' System Jade says.
' Open the package.' Jade replies.
The package opens
Two hours of photographic memory daily,
Beautiful handwriting,
Virtual Library.
' I'll cross that bridge later but when can I wake up.' Jade says.
' Now.' System Jade replies.
Jade opens her eyes.
' I'm sure you did something. How else could my sister end up in the tank that was meant to hold your fishes? If anything happens to my sister,I won't forgive you. Even though you dislike her for embbarassing you at school, this is to far.' Jade recognised the voice as her twin sister, Ruby Thompson
' Ruby don't say that. I would never hope for anything to happen to Cousin Jade.' And this was her cousin/stepsister Emily Thompson.
' Richard, Poor Jade I don't know what to do. Jane must be so disappointed in me, I couldn't take care of Jade.' A sobbing voice cried out. That was the legendary stepmom, Wendy Thompson.
' It's not your fault Wendy.' And this was the profit-seeking b*stard father, Richard Thompson.
' It's all my fault. I shouldn't have scolded her when she hit the servant. I shouldn't have told her to go for extra summer lessons, I'm just her Stepmom after all.' Wendy cried out .
' JT why is your family filled with green tea b*tches?' Jade asks.
' JT?' System Jade asks.
' It's weird that I have to call you Jade Thompson.' Jade replies.
System Jade remains silent giving her tacit approval.
Jade slowly sat up attracting the attention of the Thompsons.
Richard looked at his daughter who was a carbon copy of her mother and felt irritation building.
Jane King was beautiful and talented and from a very influential family which was the reason everyone in the upper circle described their marriage as swan eating toad meat and flower stuck in cow dung.
This daughter had no talent or manners. But the reason he hadn't sent her to her maternal home was her beauty. Just her face could secure a good marriage and strengthen his business connections.
Jade Thompson has silvery blonde hair and sky blue eyes and a figure that went against her age.
She had a detached and cold temperament unlike her sister Ruby.
Ruby had fiery red hair and dark eyes, his exact copy. She was good academically and even had good relationship with several rich kids.
Jade had her uses. In two months time his partner from overseas was returning to D City, he was divorced and looking for a wife.
Mr Barton was a 39 year old man with a greasy appearance and was known for his business acumen and love for women.
Since this daughter of his turned out to be useless, then she shouldn't blame him for being ruthless,
