System Quest 2.0: Harvest My Family's Regret Chapter 9
"N-No… What are you talking about? I don't know anything! It hurts! Mom, Dad, Audrey's gone crazy! You've got to help me!"Owen frantically looked toward our parents for help, but Mom and Dad didn't even seem to hear him. The two of them were focused on their own phone calls, their expressions tense."What? Are you sure? It's really the same person from back then?"The guests sensed that a new piece of drama was unfolding, and the entire chapel fell completely silent as everyone waited for my parents to speak.Suddenly, Mom looked over at Owen, let out a gut-wrenching cry, and sprinted across the room to slap him square across the face."What did we do to deserve this? How did we raise such a monster?" she screamed. "If you didn't like your brother, you could've just told us! You were only 13 years old! How could you be so cruel as to cut a deal with a human trafficker and sell your own brother out?"I froze for a moment, but deep down, the revelation didn't shock me at all.It

The woman had clearly come prepared. Ignoring the pain, she pulled a stack of photos from her pocket and flung them into the air."Take a look at this!" she cried. "These are all the photos of your husband and me in compromising positions. In fact, I was even pregnant with his child. If you don't believe me, go ahead and look for yourselves! See what your husband was really doing!"I glanced at the photos scattered across the floor, which clearly depicted intimate and compromising situations.The problem was that the person in the pictures wasn't me. Someone had swapped my face onto another man's body.The guests completely forgot they were at a funeral, rushing to pick up the photos and get a piece of the gossip."Oh, my… Everyone always said Dr. Hayes' husband was hopelessly in love with her. How could he do something like this behind her back?""Hank is such a respectable guy. It's a shame his younger son turned out like this. I heard one of his sons was kidnapped as a kid and

My spirit just stayed there, silently watching Owen slump onto the floor. He sat there in a daze for a few seconds. But then, he suddenly stood straight up and kicked his crutches to the side. From the way he walked, there was clearly nothing wrong with him.He had been faking it the entire time.If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have missed my first opportunity to be rescued."Damn you, Noah! I managed to kill you, and now I'm going to make sure you stay buried." Owen frowned, glaring at the hallway where the gurney had just disappeared.…My funeral was set for three days later. During that time, Owen shifted his strategy. He stopped running his mouth and trash-talking me. Instead, he grieved and cried right along with the other four.He even played the part of the perfect, doting older brother, standing in front of my casket to pray for my soul.Whenever things quieted down, he did everything he could to distract them and lift their spirits.Sure enough, aside from the
System Quest 2.0: Harvest My Family's Regret Chapter 6
Essentially, I had set myself up as Audrey's savior to sweep her off her feet and marry her.No wonder she had spent our entire marriage hating my guts and making snide remarks, constantly accusing me of faking life-or-death situations just to trick her into staying with me.But when it came down to it, neither Audrey nor my parents had ever trusted me.If they had just come forward, laid their cards on the table, and asked me face-to-face, things might have been different. But not a single one of them ever did.Watching Audrey break down like this made Mom panic. Shaking like a leaf, she shuffled closer and tentatively reached out to feel my hand, only for the ice-cold skin to make her shriek in horror."Noah! Noah, stop scaring me. Why are your hands so cold?" Mom screamed, her voice dissolving into uncontrollable sobs.Seeing Mom's reaction, Dad quickly rushed over to check on me, too. He steeled himself to press a finger to my neck, checking for a pulse. The second he reali

Ethan was young, but he wasn't stupid. The way Audrey and I looked completely terrified him.He froze, staring blankly for a few seconds, before suddenly bursting into loud, hysterical sobs and running over to grip my hand tightly."Dad! Dad, wake up! Please, I want you to make that pot roast again!"I watched everything unfold in silence.My stone-cold heart was far past the point of feeling a single spark of emotion.Right on cue, the mechanical chime rang in my mind."Congratulations, Host. They've started crying for you, and their regret meter has risen to 20%. It looks like you'll hit your target in no time."I shook my head, not holding out much hope.Ethan was only reacting out of pure fright.The second Owen came over to comfort him, Ethan would completely forget about me. It looked like I was never going to get the chance to return to the real world after all."Audrey, what's taking you so long? What kind of stunt is he pulling this time?"Mom and Dad walked in righ

The doctor's words stunned the room into silence."What do you mean he's dead?" Audrey finally asked, her voice flat as she broke the eerie quiet."Look, Dr. Hayes, I'm a busy woman. I chose to track you down myself because he's your husband. But you need to go see for yourself."Without waiting for an answer, the doctor turned on her heel and sprinted back to her shift."Audrey, this has to be another one of Noah's stunts," Owen chimed in, unable to hide the smug gleam in his eyes despite putting on his best sympathetic face as he talked Audrey down."He's probably just throwing a tantrum because Mom and Dad are treating me so well. He used to pull pointless crap like this all the time, so who knows what he's up to this time—"But Audrey's face had paled, and she shot to her feet.Ignoring Owen completely, she dropped the half-peeled apple from her hands and stormed out of the room."She's lying," she muttered to herself as she sprinted down the hallway to find me.
