Will her empire be the sweetest revenge, or will the haunting shadows of the past persist?"
Alice Wonder vomited blood while she held her stomach in pain. She glared daggers at her father, who was smirking down at her, a triumphant smile on his lips, his eyes glinted with mischief and pride. Hatred bubbled in Alice's heart, and her blood boiled with rage as she thought about her latest discovery, about how the evil couple, her father and her stepmother, who had been her nanny when her mother was alive, had poisoned her just so that they could take over her mother's wealth.
Her father sneered mockingly, "So what if your mother left everything to you? So what if you know that we schemed and killed your mother to take her wealth? What can you do about it? You are still too powerless to do anything; even your death would be nothing, just like your mother's!" He boasted hauntingly, which further boosted Alice's rage.
"Why? What did my mother do to you?" She choked out, blood spilling out of her mouth with every word. Kate, her stepmother, sneered with hatred, "She took my husband! How dare she come after my husband to seduce him?"
"Seduce him?" Alice chuckled darkly, her eyes filled with mockery. " Was my mother the one who did the seducing, or your cunning husband, who wasn't satisfied with a hag like you! My mother didn't seduce your husband, and you greedy people don't deserve to slander her name!" She bit back at them, making all their faces ugly. Kate snickered and slapped the dying Alice across the face angrily.
One of the things that Kate hated hearing about was her incompetence at keeping her husband satisfied in the house; even after Alice's mother's death, Henry, her husband, had gone out to look for other mistresses to keep by his side, disregarding her existence.
Alice gritted her teeth as she tried to get up, only to be knocked down again by William, her stepbrother. He had always taken credit for her work, stealing her projects and claiming them as his own. No one except her team knew the truth - that he was a hoax, pretending to be a genius. She could already imagine what it would be like if the empire her mother painstakingly built was handed over to the frivolous young master before her.
"You are defeated; it's good you stay down," he mocked as he raised a transparent USB drive with smugness. Victoria's eyes went wide, and her hatred simmered over as she saw the drive in his hand. It was the one that contained her latest technological project; she had taken over the project from her mother and improved it, and the software was in the last phase and almost ready to be used.
Blinded by rage and the desire to destroy the software with her, she gathered the little bit of strength and rationality she had left and rushed up to tackle William to the ground. He fell and hit his head on the glass table behind him. The glass table broke and pieces of glass entered William's skull. Alice felt a little bit of relief as she saw the thick blood oozing out of his head. She already lost all of her strength, and she couldn't struggle for the drive any longer, so she lay down feeling comforted that she was able to deal some damage and at least leave a scar on him.
'Hopefully, he would be brain dead' she thought in her mind as she felt her stomach knot together in pain.
In her hazy state, Alice saw the rest of the family running to William, sadness overwhelming her heart at the thought of dying all alone, with no loved one around her. 'I'm sorry, mother; I am unable to protect everything you left behind, she thought to herself.
As her consciousness began to fade, she heard a mechanical voice ask, (Would you like to take revenge on your enemies?}
Alice didn't know where the voice came from, but the water of revenge kept boiling in her heart, and she couldn't let go of her hatred towards the Hamilton family. She quickly agreed to the voice, "I want them to experience despair beyond human understanding; I want them to live a desolate life; I want their bones to rot on the street without anybody picking them up."
{Your wish shall be granted, and you shall watch it happen with your own eyes and execute your revenge with your own hands) the mechanical voice replied, and Alice scoffed, "I am dying like this, and you are still giving me false hope. It's enough for me to know there is someone who would avenge me; I don't need to witness it with my eyes. However, I will be happy to watch it from the afterlife." Alice explained.
{Do you agree to bond with the luck system?} The mechanical voice asked. Alice hesitated for a bit as the name of the system sounded familiar. She brushed the feeling to the back of her mind; this time all she felt was numbness; the pain from the poisoning had long been forgotten. "Will the lucky system help me take my revenge?" she asked skeptically.
{Yes, as long as you meet the requirements to use the lucky system, the system will fulfill all your wishes. Do you agree to bond with the lucky system?}
"Yes, I accept!" Alice answered as the last thread of her consciousness snapped.
"Luna! Luna!" A distant voice called amidst several beeping sounds. Alice felt someone shaking her awake, and she could hear hurried footsteps around her as the voice kept calling. "Luna! Are you alright? Are you awake? Stay with me," the voice drew closer. Alice was about to complain about the noise when she felt a sharp, numbing pain in her chest and head and a weakness she had never experienced all over her body.
{Soul transfer complete}
{Lucky system successfully bonds with Alice Hamilton, now known as Luna Grey}
{Lucky system level 0, welcomes the host to a new life and wishes the host uses the second chance wisely as there may be no other after this) the mechanical voice announced as Alice Wonder awakened in Luna's body and she realized she was in a hospital connected to several machines. She looked around cautiously and muttered hoarsely, "What is happening?"
