Chapter 1: The Jiang Family Is A Bunch Of Bastards

Jiang Xun looked at the room before her with a splitting headache. There was a wooden table and chair, and she was lying on a hard bed. She could glimpse the blue sky outside the plastic windows, accompanied with the chirping of insects and birds.

Where was this?

Jiang Xun held her head and found that it was wrapped up in a bandage.

Wasn't she dead?

She'd died in a crowd of zombies.

She was the leader of the zombie-clearing team during the apocalypse and had been on a mission when she'd run into a horde of zombies. To protect her team members and to secure their escape route, she'd lit up some explosives and died together with the zombies.

However, before the explosives had been detonated, she'd been bitten.

Jiang Xun reached up to touch her neck, but there was no wound at all.

What was going on?

"Hello, Host. I'm the Merit System, Number S00356."

Jiang Xun jumped up from the bed in shock. "What the hell? Who's talking?"

"It's me, the Merit System! You can talk to me in your mind. There's no need to use your voice."

After processing the situation for a bit, Jiang Xun asked in her mind, "...What is this...Merit System?"

"You killed countless zombies during the apocalypse and saved many people. You even sacrificed yourself to save your team members. You have accumulated enough Merit Points, or MP, so you were able to be reborn in this normal world without any zombies."

Jiang Xun was excited. "A normal world without zombies? Is it a world in which humans destroyed the zombies and rebuilt after the apocalypse?"

The system said, "No, this world is not in the same space and time as your original one. It is in its own timeline. It is still unknown as to whether or not it will enter the apocalypse in the future."

Holding her head, Jiang Xun got off the bed and walked to the window, opening it. The air outside was fresh and clean, so unlike that of the apocalypse, which was almost always permeated with the smell of rotten flesh.

She took a deep breath.

It smelled so good!

Right at that moment, however, the door was pushed open. She turned to see a middle-aged woman glaring at her coldly. "Since you're awake, then come down and eat."

When she turned around and left, Jiang Xun heard her mumble, "Imagine rolling down the stairs and having no problem afterwards. How unfortunate."

Jiang Xun asked the system, "Who is she?"

The system's calm and emotionless voice rang in Jiang Xun's mind, "She is the Host's aunt, Lu Huixian. The host was pushed down the stairs and died just a second before you came here, which was why the system allowed your soul to enter her body."

After that explanation, the system transferred the original Host's memory to Jiang Xun.

The Host also happened to be named Jiang Xun. However, according to the system, there were many people who were also named Jiang Xun across at least 3,000 worlds, so it would always prioritize transferring souls to bodies, also known as Hosts, of the same name.

The original Host was 18 years old and was a high school student. Her father was named Jiang Chenya, the president of the famous Chengye Group.

The original Host's birth mother passed away when she was one year old. A month later, Jiang Chengye remarried, and the new wife, Feng Nianzhen, brought a daughter into the family. It turned out that Jiang Chengye had cheated on his wife while she was pregnant, and so the woman he'd cheated with, Feng Nianzhen, gave birth to a daughter, Jiang Yuexi, who was only two months younger than Jiang Xun.
