Ning Shu stood next to the hospital bed. A doctor wearing a white coat walked through her to save the girl on the bed.

Ning Shu looked at the girl on the bed. Her face was pale white, and she no longer had any hair on her head. She didn’t even have eyebrows anymore. She simply lay quietly on the bed.

People looked really funny without eyebrows.

Ning Shu never expected to be worried over eyebrows at this point in time. It seemed that death wasn’t that scary or painful after all. Right now Ning Shu didn’t feel any pain.

That’s correct. Ning Shu was dead. She was standing at the side looking at her own body. She tried to re-enter her body.

Even though it was a body that had been tormented by illness to the point that it was a mess, she still wanted to live.

This light and fluttery feeling made Ning Shu feel very unsettled.

At this time, the door to the room opened. A married couple rushed in. Running over, they hugged Ning Shu’s body and cried. Following behind them were two men. These were Ning Shu’s older brothers.

Ning Shu reached out, wanting to hug her mom, but in the end her hand passed through her body.

“Mom, don’t be so sad. Meimei is finally free, she’s gone to a different world.” Ning Shu’s eldest brother supported Ning Shu’s mom.

Ning Shu watched them like a spectator. She has been freed. She has lived in the hospital ever since she was fifteen.

Every week she had to go through chemotherapy two times. That bone-penetrating pain has already accompanied her for over ten years.

From the very start, her family was already in despair and showered her with heartache-accompanied love. However, as time passed, they visited the hospital less and less. It was to the point that they became numb to the fact that she was ill.

Ning Shu didn’t blame them. On the contrary, she felt fortunate that she was born in such a prosperous family and was able to receive treatment. She was satisfied with having lived ten years, even if it was in a hospital bed. It was just that life contained too many regrets.

A smile blossomed on Ning Shu’s face. She was very grateful to her family.

Thank you.

Ning Shu’s soul grew lighter and lighter, until it finally started floating on its own to some unknown place.

Suddenly, Ning Shu heard a sound. A cool and emotionless voice came from within her soul.

“The soul meets the requirement, locking on to system space.”

Immediately following that, Ning Shu felt something cold flow into her soul. Even though she was in this state, she could feel an ice-cold energy explode in her soul.

Under the attack of this power, Ning Shu lost consciousness.

Before she fell unconscious, her last thought was, hopefully this doesn’t mean that she can’t reincarnate.

…....

After an unknown period of time, Ning Shu finally woke up again. She felt very tired, and her soul felt heavy. Fatigue of the soul caused people to have a drained and also very panicked feeling.

Ning Shu rubbed her head. It was purely a reflex, but unexpectedly when she touched her head, it felt like she was rubbing cotton.

Ning Shu felt both pleasantly surprised and terrified, completely confused as to what was going on. Her soul actually changed into this texture. She didn’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. However, at the very least it wouldn’t be easy for her soul to dissipate like this.

After calming down, Ning Shu started looking around. It was completely white without a single item in sight. There was no sound, no trace of life. It was deathly still, without a thing. It was too quiet, eerily quiet.

Humans have always been frightened of unknown things. Ning Shu also wasn't an exception. Even if she was now a soul, she still felt her hair stand on end facing this kind of situation.

However, for better or for worse she was still alive right now, although it was a different type of 'living.' Since she couldn't figure it out, she decided to stop thinking about it and simply accept what came.

If it was said that the illness brought Ning Shu endless pain and suffering, it also had to be acknowledged that it gave Ning Shu a tenacious mentality. Without a strong mentality, upon facing endless pain and suffering, a person would commit suicide in order to escape the torment.

Ning Shu tried stomping on the thing below her feet. It felt very strange. She bent down and touched it with her hand. She had never seen this kind of thing before.

Ning Shu observed her surroundings and found that she was the only one here. Hence, she gave up on the thought of finding a companion and sat down on the ground. Sitting as if she was about to meditate, she closed her eyes.

In truth, Ning Shu loved life more than anyone else. There was definitely a reason why she was here, so she could only wait to see what exactly fate had in store for her.

Ning Shu didn't know if she was just imagining it, but she felt very comfortable sitting this way. That's not right, it should be said that her soul felt very comfortable. Some warm things flowed into her body and made Ning Shu feel a bit airy.

Endless waiting inevitably caused fear. Ning Shu discovered a game to pass the time, and that was mediating and absorbing that unknown thing into her body. Ning Shu didn't know how she was supposed to absorb these things, so she could only rely on mediating.

Ning Shu opened her eyes. Her eyes contained surprise and joy as she felt her own body. The reason for the joy was because she had felt her body change a little. Before her body had felt soft like cotton with a very thin texture, but now her body felt slightly more condensed. Of course, it was just a little, but Ning Shu still felt it.

What exactly was this place? It actually had the effect of strengthening souls.

It was way too magical.

"Test results meet the requirement, starting task."

A cold mechanical voice spoke. In this deathly still space, it was abnormally abrupt and strange.

Upon hearing this voice, she felt a chill as if she had heard this voice before. She had heard it right before she fainted.

Ning Shu was cautious in regard to the things she didn't understand. She didn't open her mouth to demand who the person was or to ask what goal they had.

What could other people possibly want her for with her like this?

"Your current number is 2333. Number 2333, do you want to start the task right now?"

Ning Shu, for some reason, felt that she was being ridiculed with 2333, this kind of number. Then she heard that some sort of task was about to start. Although she didn't know what exactly that meant, she replied immediately, "Start the task."

Ning Shu had just finished speaking when a projected screen appeared in front of her. On it, her information was displayed.

Number: 2333

Name: Ning Shu

Age: 27

Experience: 0 (0/10000)

Soul: 60

Life: 50

Charm: (?????)

Luck: 20

Mental Strength: 120

Abilities: None

Acquired titles: None

Upon seeing these stats, Ning Shu had a feeling as if she was playing a game. But… why were there only questions marks for her charm? However, charm was not very important, so Ning Shu didn't mind it and asked about other things instead.

"My number is 2333, so does that mean there are people with numbers before that?"

"Player does not have the authority to know." It was the ice-cold voice.

"Then what happens after the experience points reach ten thousand?"

"Player does not have the authority to know."

"Since I'm a player, are there other players?"

"Player does not have the authority to know."

"Why are my charm points unknown?" She probably had the right to know this, right?

The machine voice paused for a moment, before it said, "While Host was alive, no man expressed a favorable opinion or love towards Host. That's why, Host's charm cannot be determined."

Ning Shu: …...

This world contained many realms, and Ning Shu's task was to enter those realms and fulfill the enstrustor’s requests. These entrustors would sacrifice certain things in hopes that their lives would improve.

This was where the task-takers rose to the occasion.

When Ning Shu found out that she could enter other people's bodies, she was very happy. While she worked on completing the task, she could even experience the life of a healthy person and fulfill her last lifetime's regret.

However, the thing that called itself the system poured cold water on her. "You only have five years to do the task. You only have 50 life points. One life point is equal to one year. Once you use up all your life points you'll completely disappear. Of course, you can choose to stay in the task world and spend your entire life there, but afterward that will be it."

Ning Shu nodded to indicate that she understood.

"For the first task I've selected the easiest one from within the system. It's a school campus world. Do you wish to start the task now?" The system's voice was very cold without a hint of emotion.

Every time Ning Shu heard the system make a sound, her entire body would feel a chill. She really didn't like its sound so she immediately replied, "Start the task."

Right after Ning Shu finished speaking, she felt dizzy. She felt as if her entire body had been shoved into a narrow bottle. She couldn't move an inch and felt like she was about to die.

"Beat this damned b***h to death! Does she even look at herself, to actually approach the prince!"

"She sure has thick skin. Does she actually think she's some rich miss? s***"

When Ning Shu could finally feel sensations again, she immediately heard a buzzing sound along with the sound of a lot of people shouting. Her body was being kicked. It was as if these people wanted to break her bones.

What kind of situation was this? Didn't the system say that this was the easiest task? Why was she being beat up the moment she was sent over? It was supposed to be an easy task, wasn't it?

Ning Shu opened her eyes. All around were bright, big white legs. From time to time a leg would extend forward and kick her. She could even see these people's underwear when they lifted their legs.

There was a stinky smell on the floor tiles along with the distinctive smell bathrooms had. Ning Shu instantly realized what she encountered. She was being beaten up in the bathroom.

Right now her mind was completely blank. She didn't have time to receive this world's storyline at all. Ning Shu couldn't help but be stunned upon facing this kind of situation.

Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of Ning Shu and lifted her by her collar. Ning Shu's body involuntarily stood up. She opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.

The person grabbing her collar was a girl. She was wearing a school uniform and a short skirt. Her eyes were filled with disgust and disdain as she looked at Ning Shu. She scratched Ning Shu's face with her long nails as if she wanted to tear off Ning Shu's face.

Ning Shu's body convulsed from pain. She had endured over ten years of torment from illness but this body was not used to pain, so a cry of pain involuntarily escaped.

Upon seeing the pleased expression that emerged in the girl's eyes, Ning Shu's heart chilled. How much hatred was there to make a youthful little lady expose this kind of expression?

This wasn't simple campus violence anymore.

When that girl saw the dull expression on Ning Shu's face, she grabbed her by her hair and smashed her head towards the wall.

Ning Shu had been dizzy in the first place. Now that the person was. .h.i.tting her head against the wall, her consciousness became even fuzzier. It was to the point that she felt her soul was about to pop out from this body. Ning Shu panicked a little. She couldn't leave this body. If she did, what would happen to her task?

There was no reason to fail the first task just like this. She could instinctively sense that if she failed like this, she may disappear. The person named Ning Shu would cease to exist.

With pure willpower, Ning Shu endured the pain in her body. Perhaps they were bored with her since she wasn't resisting anymore, because those girls finally let her go and left. As they walked by, they stepped on her, causing Ning Shu's body to jerk from pain.

Suddenly, a hard-to-control feeling of being wronged and hatred emerged in Ning Shu's heart, causing the body she was possessing to tremble with the desire to rush up and rip those people to shreds, to let them experience this pain and humiliation.

Ning Shu was shocked by this body's reaction. It was quite a while before she managed to repress this feeling. She got up from the ground, went into the bathroom, and sat on the restroom, completely out of strength.
