Her words were a bitter rony Those days, when she was my only salvation, were gone forever The perso who claimed to love me was the same person who had turned me into this ghost
The thought made me sick
The life suppon machines blared red again, and I was rushed back to the emergency room
Celeste paced outside, muttering to herself, a knot of anxiety tightening in her stomach. “He’ll five, right? Hi

That afternoon, after I was stabilized, the TV in my room was playing the local news
Julian was giving my speech at my alma mater, basking in the spotlight.
The sight, the sound… it was torture.
Hahaha, how does it feel? To be fucked half to death by men, so broken you can’t even speak
The fake young master, Julian, barged into my room, his face alight with triumph Your dear, beloved siste lid all of this. For me

Celeste looked at me, her eyes wide with disbelief

She turned to the purses “Stop all of his medication
I plunged into the abyss
The world went silent, save for the steady lonely ticking of a machine
“Enjoy it,” Julian whispered. “This is a graduation gift from me and your family.

Then, I heard the System’s final decree
[The protagonist is dead. World collapse commencing countdown.]
Meanwhile, on a popular gossip livestream, a crowd of curious onlookers had gathered.
Regarding the new valedictorian, we’ve received a very credible tip from a fan. We won’t waste your time Let’s just get to the evidence
The screen filled with uncensored photos and videos of my humiliation
We’ve heard that this student leads a very promiscuous private life, with both men and women, and offer
ssociates with unsavory characters

The viewer count skyrocketed in minutes. I was infamous the charity case of valedictorians

Julian couldn’t suppress the triumphant smirk that tugged at his lips, but he put on is show of reluctance
that really okay? If brother finds out, he’ll be angry with me
Celeste made the final decision “What right does he have to be angry with you now? it’s settled it call thi

Her fake brother cooed. “Sister, you’re so good to me! It’s just like you always said. Even if your real brothe
came back, he could never replace me.”
Julian lowered his head, a flash of vicious satisfaction in his eyes: Even if Noah had found his family and
gotten into a Top university, it was all just to pave the way for him. The fruits of my entire, short life had beer
handed to another And the one who had orchestrated it all was the sister I had once trusted with my soul
That afternoon Julian, my parents, and my other brother went to an amusement park to celebrate his goot fortune When passersby heard that he was the brother of the now–infamous valedictorian, and that his fami
ly had unanimously decided to let him take my place at Harvard, they applauded
“Someone that filthy doesn’t deserve to go to a prestigious university. You deserve this, Julian
Everyone except my sister, Celeste, smiled and agreed, as if the person whose life had been stoler wasn

A growing unease settled over my sister She was supposed to be picking out a graduation gift for Julian, but
she found herself wandering over to a claw machine
She put in a coin and, on the first try, grabbed a battle–damaged Kung Fu Panda plushie

The electropic voice was wailing Celeste as you wished. Noah is dead()
And now you, your precious Julian, your family, and the entire world you’re all going to die!]
“Dead? He’s deas
That’s impossible!”
My sister clutched the toy I had once loved, her eyes wide with disbelief Her breathing became ragged
No, you’re lying to me! Noah was alive and well this aftemoon! How could he die just a few hours later? H

She squeezed the battle–damaged panda, twisting its soft body out of shape

What’s wrong with her? Is she crazy?
Celeste’s breakdown stunned the crowd at the park, especially my parents and brother, who had just been seolding her for not being a loving enough sister
