"Get some rest." With that, he went upstairs.

**[Current Favorability: -101.]**

The System's prompt echoed. At least the favorability rating hadn’t dropped further.

Laughing until tears streamed down my face, I collapsed on the sofa.

Only when I played the hopeless, worthless waste of space could I barely hold onto the bottom line of his favorability.

How pathetic.

"Bruce, you and Dennis just now... everything okay?" Jeffrey, my best friend, sidled over, concern etched on his face.

Seeing his sincere expression, a flicker of warmth stirred in my chest.

In this ice-cold house, he was the only one I could truly confide in.

**[Friendly Reminder: Scanning target, Jeffrey.]**

**[Current Favorability: -50.]**

**[Emotional Analysis: Disdain, Exploitation.]**

**[Character Background: Jeffrey was bought off by Dennis three years ago. He is responsible for guiding and encouraging the Host to engage in various outlandish behaviors and regularly reports the Host's activities to Dennis.]**

My smile froze.

My best friend... another of Dennis's planted informants.

As Jeffrey chattered on with his "concern," a wave of nausea washed over me.

It turned out that not a single person around me had ever been genuine.

I was a complete and utter joke.

That night, locked in my room, I asked the System earnestly for the first time, "Is there any way out for me?"

**[Yes.]**

The System's answer kindled a sliver of hope.

**[Based on data projections, three months from now, Dennis will go skiing in the Northern Snow Peaks, where he will encounter a minor avalanche.]**

**[Mission Issued: Host is to rescue Dennis during the avalanche.]**

**[Mission Reward: Upon completion, the Host may choose to leave this world. The System will erase all traces of your existence and open a brand new life for you in a parallel world.]**

Leave this world?

I was stunned.

Betrayed By Him, Saved By His Uncle

9.3

On her wedding night at The Plaza Hotel, Clara went looking for her husband. Instead, she found him in the dimly lit parking garage, passionately pinning down her bridesmaid. She couldn't even scream or expose them. Just hours before the ceremony, Julian had tricked her into signing away her twenty percent shares of their co-founded company, leaving her completely penniless and unable to pay her grandmother's life-saving medical bills. Fleeing in absolute despair, a sudden hotel blackout plunged her into a second nightmare. She was dragged into a pitch-black room and brutally violated by a heavily drugged stranger. When a shattered Clara returned to the office to audit the books and reclaim her power, Julian demoted her to a dusty desk by the trash cans. He flaunted his mistress in the executive suite and deliberately sent Clara into a horrifying trap. He arranged for vicious clients to drug and assault her, demanding high-definition blackmail photos so he could divorce her with absolutely nothing. "Since you want to play rough, you can service Mr. Petrocelli tonight," the thug sneered, locking the VIP room door. Clara was pushed to the brink of hell. Why was the man she devoted three years of her life to trying to destroy her so completely? And why did the freezing cedarwood scent of the stranger who ruined her in the dark perfectly match Conrad Vance, the ruthless CEO and Julian's untouchable uncle? Rather than let Julian win, Clara smashed a glass bottle, held the jagged edge to her own throat to force the men back, and threw herself off the second-floor balcony into the freezing night. But the bone-crushing impact never came. A massive figure shot out from the shadows and caught her, and her brutal counterattack finally began.

The Billionaire's Broken, Voiceless Wife

After four years of torture in a so-called “rehabilitation center,” I was finally released. My husband, Elliot, was waiting for me. He wasn’t there to save me; he was there to serve me divorce papers. He and my adoptive family were convinced I was a liar. They believed my broken leg, my missing fingernails, and my scarred vocal cords were all part of an elaborate performance for attention. "Still playing the cripple," he sneered, looking at my ruined body with disgust. He tossed a handkerchief at my bleeding hand so I wouldn’t stain the leather seats of his car. Back home, my perfect adoptive sister, Elyse, confessed everything with a smile. She had paid the doctors to torture me, to break my bones, to destroy my voice. When I lunged at her, my own mother called me an animal. My father prepared to sign me back into that hell permanently. They saw my pain as a performance and her cruelty as innocence. When I was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and had months to live, Elliot tore up the medical report, calling it my most pathetic lie yet.
