Chapter 1

Wei Mang was a caring and loving husband. He treated his wife Zhang Yong like his world. He would always shower her with all his love. So why, why was he stabbing her in her chest? As she winces and groans in pain, he wounds her with a knife that she specifically chose as a wedding souvenir, the same one they used to cut their wedding cake. The man that she vowed her life to, the man that she trusted and loved just stood there with a twisted expression, full of enmity. Zhang Yong simply could not understand it. The whole situation did not at all seem perceptible. With the little strength that she could muster, she whispers with a hoarse voice, "Wh.. why…?" Wei Mang pauses his cruel actions and looks her in the eyes. "Because with you by my side, Bai Fang will never love me." The indifference on his face didn't change. Not an ounce of sympathy for his beloved wife was visible. She gave up. She simply gave up on holding onto her life. She looked back at the man she had married. It was painful to know that for a single woman, he would go to this extent, he would go this far. She felt jealous for a single moment, but sadly, wasn't alive the next. Not only that, but because in her very last heartbeats, she swore that he would pay for this. She swore he would have the same fate as her in her next life.

The room slowly fades to black. Her head hurt, ringing continuously. It was aching with pain, and every thought only made it even more severe. After what felt like an eternity of silence, a monotone voice echoed inside of her head. 

[Congratulations Player000078, you have gained the system 'World Domination'. To survive and level up, you must increase your power. Think 'Yes' to proceed] 

Almost too shocked to think about her actions at all, her mind immediately shouts the word after a moment of paralyzation. She wanted to know what was going on, but her desire to know more about the system was greater. World Domination? That sounds great! Greed and excitement flowed throughout her body, but she knew that she musn't get too ahead of herself. She paused for a moment, player number 78?? That means there has to be  77 other people in alternate worlds, that had all experienced this, right? She wanted to pinch herself to check if this was a dream, but she was still falling into darkness, unable to move, so that wasn't really an option. 

She felt a weird sensation all over her body. She felt her body parts shifting and shaping themselves differently, she felt her hair growing at an inhumane speed. Her eyes felt a weird sting, and her body began shrinking. She wonders, why was it acting this way, and how? It could've possibly been the weird system she picked up on her deathbed. This weird procedure repeated itself a myriad of times, that Xiao ZeZhou felt completely different. In fact, not like herself anymore. Wait.. Xiao ZeZhou? The victim of reincarnation began panicking. Since when was her name Xiao ZeZhou? She could've sworn her name was.. Wait.. what!? Why couldn't she remember her name? As alarmed as she was, it confused her even more. She almost fainted in her already unconscious mind.

As she was in the midst of panicking, waves of memories hit her square in the face and almost drowned her. One after another, she felt different memories and scenarios crawl deeper into her brain. Were these.. Xiao ZeZhou's memories? She can recall a coworker of hers talking about something like this, a fragment of her past life flashes through her eyes as she remembers her exact words, "Hey Yong jiejie! Did you read that novel I sent you yesterday? I didn't  want to spoil it for you, but a girl dies and turns into the villian of a novel she once read! That kind of genre is quite popular these days. Please say you'll read it!" 

She never actually had the patience to read it, but she already had a basic understanding of what the novel was about due to her coworker's constant nagging, advising her to read it and all. Could the same have happened to her? She pondered. But that's not possible, she hates any kind of fiction. She remembered a book she once read about the nature of eagles. Would she turn into an eagle? Or perhaps a crow? Her thoughts were getting more and more absurd, to the fact that she almost cried because she thought she might turn into a tow-truck since she had watched cars 2 with her husband's little brother. After all, the possibilities were endless. 

As whimsical thoughts spiraled in her mind, sometimes the useful ones here and there were the only escape and only  way to spend her time in this abyss of darkness. It was quite boring actually, and her longing to wake up and be able to see light again grew stronger every single second she stood awake.

Her eyelids weakly open as they adjust to the faint light coming from her window. It was morning. Possibly very early, because there wasn't much sound coming from anywhere around her. Her eyes perked up and widened when she realised something. The darkness! Tears of happiness were begging to be let out. She had survived! But her eyes nearly dropped back down when she thought, maybe she had survived? Maybe her husband didn't kill her? Maybe she was in a state of shock, and when she thought she had died, she had actually fainted? But even with all that, having a system wasn't bad at all. She felt weird. Deep down, she would rather have reincarnated as a tow-truck. Then, she heard a voice- no, two voices, that answered the questions she was asking herself earlier. 

An unfamiliar one.

"Xiao ZeZhou! You're awake! Finally! Your father was so worried!" A tearful and worried voice could be heard. 

And one that she can recall.
