Chapter 1

My family's conversation continued inside the room."Zach said his stomach problem disappeared because it was transferred to Ethan back in this world two days ago. And now, Zach needs Ethan's voice for a singing competition. We need to find a way to make Ethan lose his voice…""Dad, can you make something that will ruin his voice? You made all the other drugs, anyway.""..."I couldn't help but stumble and almost fall on the ground, and the sound I made caught their attention.My mom, Nora, opened the door and came out. Her expression was one full of concern. "Ethan, why didn't you tell us you were discharged?"I looked at my family's worried faces, and I couldn't help but feel the stabbing pain in my heart.Two days ago, my stomach had started hurting, and Lena hurried over with some medication. I had to admit that I was very touched at the time, but not long after I took it, I threw it all up as the reflux made the bile rise to my throat.I curled up on the floor in pain, and

What was going on?My mind went blank, and I had a bad feeling about all of this.Just then, Lena knocked on the door and came in with a glass of milk. "Ethan, I warmed a glass of milk for you."She walked to my side, and her gaze landed on the computer screen. There was a brief hint of panic on her face. "Why are you suddenly looking this up?"I took in every detail of her expression, and my heart went cold. "I was just... Checking how much I have left to pay back.""It's fine. Don't worry about it. You've already sold all the assets you have under your name to pay it back. We don't blame you at all."That was true.I had saved some money over the years, too.My older memories had recovered long ago, and I knew the house and car under my name were worth a lot. So, I had sold them without a second thought back then and poured the money into that bottomless pit that was the loans.Lena handed me the glass of milk. "Drink."The milk had no color or smell, but I knew something h

Chapter 3

Victor tested me after I opened the door. "We're going to a party later tonight. Are you ready?"I stared at him blankly. "What are you talking about, Dad? What party?"Victor smiled, but he quickly hid his smile. "Ethan, you've lost your memory again."He took my hand. "Come on. I'll bring you to the hospital for a checkup."My heart skipped a beat. If he took me to the doctor, would the doctor not expose everything?Fortunately, the doctor only examined me once before saying in confusion, "Strange, but this is good news. The memory loss hasn't affected him enough to the point of causing any mental impairment or complete lobotomization."Victor asked, "So, even if he loses his memory a few more times, he'll be fine, right?"The doctor nodded, and Victor hurried outside. When I went out of the consultation room, I heard him whispering over the phone, covering it with his hand as he said to someone, "This is great! The more times Ethan loses his memory, the more we can help Zach.

Chapter 4

I opened my eyes, and the last of my memories came back to me.I finally understood everything.Before this, my family had been involved in a car accident and fallen into comas. They were all in critical condition. To save them, I bound myself to the System and entered another world. After completing every mission it assigned me, I finally managed to save them.But when I came back, Zachary was already by their side.I chose to let go and gave them my blessing. I wanted to return to the other world, but Zachary envied the power my other family had in that world. So, he stole my opportunity to go back.He even took countless things that belonged to me so he could become more like me. He wanted the birthmark on the back of my neck, so Victor carved it off with a knife, nearly severing an artery and killing me. He wanted my face, so Nora cut into it herself, tears in her eyes as she did.Zachary knew very well that if I lived a good life, he would suffer. If he wanted to live well,

Chapter 5

'Host, I haven't been activated for a long time. I need ten minutes to warm up. Please stand by...' The system's guilty voice came into my mind.I froze.The next second, Victor had already pinned me to the floor. He pressed down on me, his voice cold. "We've treated you well since you were little, but you ran away when something happened! Now that we have a new son, you should be grateful that you can sacrifice yourself for Zach!"I struggled with all my strength as I looked at Nora beside me. But she simply turned her head away, unable to look at me.Lena tried to persuade me and said, "You probably won't die just because your throat is cut open! Dad is so good with medicine, he'll definitely be able to make something to stop the bleeding."Mia threw herself on top of me and held me down, too. "Why won't you just die? If you die, my older brother can come back! I miss him! So, just die already!"I was choked to the point I could barely breathe. Only then did I accept the final

Chapter 6

Zachary grabbed my hand anxiously as he said, "Sing for me backstage, alright? Your face is ruined now, so they can't recognize you anymore. You have nothing now, and I can help you. As long as you sing for me, I'll give you half of everything I can get."I pulled my hand free and punched him without reservation. "I'm not you. Now that I'm back, it's time for you to head to the exit."Zachary glared at me, then suddenly smiled. "Fine. Don't blame me for this."At the very next second, he grabbed a knife and stabbed himself in the stomach. Then, he screamed. "Help!"Everything happened in a flash.I had just frozen for a second before the people who broke through the door twisted my arms behind my back and pinned me down. Then, my parents in this world, Grant and Hannah Black, rushed in. They had given me so much warmth when I was here...They did not even glance at me as they went straight to Zachary. "Ethan, you... You."Hannah's face turned deathly pale as she supported him. "

Chapter 7

Hannah sobbed and nodded at Grant, who was holding her in his arms. "I always thought that there was something different about him. Now I know I was just overthinking it."Her eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at Zachary. "I don't know how or why he came back from the dead, but this is enough for me."Suddenly, the singing stopped abruptly.My voice came through the microphone with perfect clarity. "You told me to sing for you. Does anyone else know?"Zachary's face went white.The whispers below were magnified countless times.Grant shot to his feet and quickly tried to bring the room under control. "Who's speaking? Bring him here!"Hannah instinctively ran backstage, but Zachary stopped her by stepping in front of her. "Mom..."Her face went cold as she shoved him away. He fell to the floor, his eyes full of hatred.I was brought out from the back. When she looked at my face, she froze. The next second, she looked at Zachary again.I simply asked, "Mom, is your bac

Chapter 8

Zachary glared at me with hatred as he suffered through the pain. "Why?! Why do you get to live such a good life! In that world, you had four people loving you! When they finally fell into comas, you came to this world instead! Why is my life so miserable? Why do I have to scheme for everything?"He cried, sobbing like some broken thing.A realization appeared in my mind, and I asked, "Zane?"His head snapped up. The blood on his face made him look even more horrifying. "Yeah! That's me! Do you know how much I sacrificed just to look like you?"Hearing this, I froze.Zane had been my playmate when I was young, and his parents had died when he was little. I had pitied him, and I did my best to take care of him whenever I spent time with him. Later, he dropped out of school and left. We never saw each other again after that.I had never imagined he had been so jealous of me in secret as he lay on the floor with his limbs twisted.Grant found a long needle and stabbed it into Zacha

Chapter 9

I listened to the sobs coming from my old world with a frown. I was only curious about how Zachary would be treated after going back. I had never thought of forgiving them.I was about to close the screen when I saw Victor pick up a bottle of liquid and splash it at Zachary. He screamed as the skin on his arm burned away.Victor then shouted, "You refuse to forgive us because you still blame us for treating him too well, right? Here! I'll prove it to you! Our family only has one son, and that's you! No one else matters!"He then picked up a knife and stabbed Zachary hard. All I could do was look away in disgust.Finally, I said, "Enough! Stop torturing him!"I hated Zachary, but I hated this family even more. I had lived with them for more than a decade, but I had never truly seen who they were.When they heard my voice, they stopped moving.I sighed. "Call 911 for him."After the ambulance took Zachary away, I looked at my family on the screen and said softly, "I have already
