Todos los capítulos de Reborn: I Refuse to Bear My Stepbrother's Pain: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 8

The sound of ripping rang out.I watched as the fabric over my shoulder split open, revealing a fresh crimson gash across my smooth skin.Only then did the reality of being reborn truly sink in.I didn't even bother putting on my shoes before immediately running to the edge of the field. Sure enough, I saw Derek Lane carrying a pole on his shoulder that was loaded with buckets of manure.The pain in my shoulder grew worse. I bit my lower lip hard, unable to make sense of it at all.Even after being given a second chance at life, nothing had changed. Every injury Derek suffered while working was still transferred to my body.My dad, George Zyrus, snatched the pole out of Derek's hands and shoved it into mine. "What kind of older brother are you? Derek has a cold, and you're still making him do farm work."In my previous life, the lazy, good-for-nothing Derek was always claiming he had a headache or a cold every now and then. He stayed in bed every day and refused to work.Dad fo

Derek wasn't afraid in the slightest. He threw his head back and laughed."Isaac, there's nothing you can do to me!"I glared at him. If looks could kill, he would've already been cut into a thousand pieces.His expression darkened. "I don't like the way you're looking at me."Before I could even react, he slapped himself hard across the face. My own cheek instantly burned with pain, and I reflexively let go of his collar.He jeered, "You'll never escape me, Isaac. Get on your knees and apologize. Say you're a worthless mutt. Maybe then I'll let you off."I clenched my fists tightly.I couldn't die here. The first national college entrance examination would be held the very next day. It was my only chance.My maternal grandparents had been falsely accused, and they were still waiting for me to clear their names. I had to get back to the city.Lowering my head to hide the reluctance in my eyes, I dropped to my knees before Derek. My legs, which had stood straight and proud my e

After learning that earth-shattering secret, I immediately carried Mom back home.I wasn't going to die in this lifetime. On top of that, I was going to make Derek pay for everything he'd done.The next morning, I got up early to work and greeted everyone I passed along the way. However, the women I usually chatted with ignored me completely.I sighed and wiped away tears that weren't really there.Then, I said in a miserable voice, "Ladies, you all know how it is. When you have a stepmother, you end up with a stepfather too. Don't let my dad fool you into thinking he treats me well. He doesn't like me at all."I wasn't actually crazy before. My dad forced me into all of it. He said that if I didn't run naked through the village, he'd strip my mom naked and leave her at the village entrance for a whole day for everyone to stare at."I'm just a young man in my early 20s. How could I possibly defy him? In the end, Mom and I had no other choice. So, I ended up taking off my clothes

I stood in the doorway with a sneer. Those words sounded awfully familiar.In my previous life, when Derek's transferred injuries had tortured me to the point where I wished I were dead, Dad had said the exact same things.He had even threatened me with Mom. He had said that if I refused to keep working, he'd carry her deep into the mountains and leave her there to fend for herself. I couldn't stay by Mom's side every second of every day, so all I could do was endure the pain and keep working little by little.In this lifetime, I was going to make Derek experience that same despair.As for Dad… The more he cared about getting something, the more determined I was to take it away from him.That evening, I didn't slack off. I went right back out to work. Since I wouldn't get tired anyway, earning more work points would make life easier for Mom and me in the future.But I hadn't expected to run into Derek by the edge of the field.Dad had forced him to carry manure. This time, ins
