Chapters

Chapter 1

: Rebirth

The apocalypse had long been foreshadowed.

I decided to fortify the old country house as a precaution.

My Husband and Mother-in-law, however, cursed me for being stupid, saying I was just throwing money away.

But when the apocalypse did come, they watched as my daughter and I feasted on hot pot and cursed me for being cruel and ruthless.

'Cruel and ruthless?'

In my past life, my daughter and I were frozen solid into statues, and my head was kicked around like a ball by the mistress's son.

In this life, I will make them pay in blood!

"Genevieve Sterling! How dare you say such a thing?"

"The apocalypse? You want to spend money fortifying your old family home! Don't think I can't see through your little scheme!"

"Did your parents put you up to this? You wasteful bitch, all you do all day is think about this useless nonsense!"

"And your daughter, did she try to snatch something from Shane again today? How are you raising her?! If she keeps this up, she'll grow up to be just like you!"

My Mother-in-law, Helen Alaric, pointed her finger in our faces and gave my daughter and me a vicious tongue-lashing.

My daughter hid behind me, sobbing, her small body trembling uncontrollably.

"Oh, Godmother, don't be angry. Genevieve must have her reasons. Besides, Rosie's a girl; Shane should be the one to give in to her."

Behind Helen Alaric, Rhonda Rowan consoled her with a smile, but the look she gave me was filled with mockery and triumph.

And the little boy behind Rhonda Rowan pulled a face at us.

Rhonda Rowan was a goddaughter Helen Alaric had taken in. She was supposedly divorced with a child and lived on the floor above us.

She didn't have a job and would often come down to help Helen Alaric with chores when she had free time.

Every time she saw her and her son, the otherwise stern and prim Helen Alaric would break into a smile.

In my past life, I just assumed I wasn't good enough, that I'd failed to win my Mother-in-law's affection.

Little did I know that Rhonda Rowan was the mistress my Husband was seeing behind my back, and that boy was their child!

Helen Alaric was from the countryside, and her preference for boys over girls was ingrained in her. From then on, the sight of me and my daughter only seemed to irritate her more.

I had endured it all in silence for all these years, never imagining that in the end, it would get both me and my daughter killed.

I have a PhD in meteorology. In my past life, I happened to discover that the currents in the Serpentine Ocean had recently become abnormal.

Although they were still within a manageable range, my keen woman's intuition still sensed a hint of danger.

To be on the safe side, I planned to fortify the detached house my parents lived in back home, just as a precaution.

But when Helen Alaric found out, she cursed me out and vehemently rejected my proposal, using the excuse that we had no money.

Unfortunately, in my past life, I failed to see these people's true colors and gave up on the plan.

But this time, I will absolutely not let that tragedy repeat itself!

And every single person who bullied my daughter and me will be punished!

In this life, I will no longer be that kind and easily bullied woman.

When my Husband, Evan Alaric, came home and found out, he also gave me a tongue-lashing, but I couldn't have cared less.

The more they despise me now, the more they will learn just how cruel I can be.

The One Branch of The Tree

- Raka, an ordinary high school student, dies of exhaustion and is reincarnated with his entire class into a fantasy world. There, everyone receives a class and a blessing from the gods to start a new life. While his friends acquire powerful classes like knight, mage, healer, and assassin, Raka is given the class considered the weakest and most shameful: the One Tree Branch. - Considered a burden and a threat to the group, Raka was betrayed and hunted by his own friends on their first day of arrival. Cornered in the Forbidden Forest, a place known as a region full of monsters and death, Raka discovered his class' true ability: Devour Root, the power to absorb the attributes, energy, and even skills of anyone he kills. - Since then, his life changed completely. - To survive, Raka is forced to kill monsters, bounty hunters, and the people who hunt him. Each victory makes him grow stronger, while his class weapon slowly evolves from a lowly twig into an increasingly terrifying weapon. - In the midst of his struggle for survival, Raka meets Nara, a mysterious girl wielding two daggers who has her own agenda in the Forbidden Forest. Together with Nara, Raka enters the Core Zone, the mysterious center of the forest filled with ancient ruins, artifacts, and a dangerous organization called the White Council. - There, Raka discovers that his class resonates with a mysterious entity called the False World Tree, a giant tree that is the source of the anomalies in the Forbidden Forest. - The deeper he unravels the secrets of the False World Tree, the more it becomes clear that the One Tree Trunk class is not a failed class, but rather a forbidden fragment of the true World Tree-a power that has long been sealed away because it was thought to be capable of destroying the balance of the world. - Now Raka is at a crossroads: take revenge on his friends who betrayed him, or pursue the truth behind the World Tree fragment that is now directly connected to him. - But one thing is certain, the more power he absorbs, the closer he gets to something far more dangerous than death: losing himself and becoming the new vessel for the World Tree.
