Shawn squinted slightly when he saw the blue holographic window before his eyes. This window in front of him gave a message that was very accurate to his current situation.
Shawn thought, "Is this a hallucination?"He had to pinch his thigh to feel his senses. It hurt, but it still existed in the real world. If you look closely, this window is just like the one in the game. If this was indeed the same thing as that, then it was a perfect coincidence.The large blue window was the size of a magazine book, which was very distracting to Shawn's vision. It was luminous and also slightly transparent.Shawn felt his heart beating more relaxed than before. His instincts told him that this weirdness would be good for him.Shawn said in his mind, "This kind of thing is what I've been waiting for. Whether it's real or not, it's coming to me."Shawn was just an ordinary person who didn't stand out. He only worked odd jobs to make ends meet. It was a godsend that a miracle like the system chose him to help with his life.All the tension that had been seeping into his body began to fade. His neck, which had been stiff became even more limp as he moved it to look at Rachel's arrogant face.Rachel felt a little disturbed by Shawn's movement and seemed to steal a glance, "Shawn, what were you thinking? Why are you looking at me like that?"Shawn wrinkled his forehead. "Ah, no. This window is interfering with my vision."Shawn waved his hand slightly in front of his face, but it made Rachel squint slightly, surprised by Shawn's behavior. "Whatever, hurry up and make a decision!"The system grasped the situation quickly and provided a very reasonable option. Judging from Rachel's expression, it seemed that this beautiful woman was unaware of the holographic window that had been lit up in front of Shawn.[Ding!][You haven't chosen yet. Make your choice immediately.][Option 1: Sign the contract and get some nice gifts in return.][Option 2: Leave with some money, but no contract.]Two really pushy choices. Although the system seemed to be trying to help Shawn, these options had their advantages and disadvantages, and Shawn couldn't avoid the consequences of the choices.Shawn began to think, "Look at these choices. They're not something I can decide on carelessly. If I make the wrong choice, then I may experience great regret. The first choice was to sign the contract. Honestly, Rachel is very doubtful. She came out of the blue and immediately forced me to become her husband and father to her child, which was not necessarily mine. Rachel was indeed a gorgeous and charming elite woman, but marrying her would completely change my status. I would have to become a husband and a father in my early twenties.“Moreover, the change in lifestyle would definitely be imposed by her because my life and hers were like heaven and earth. As for the second option, I rejected the contract and left with the compensation money. This option gave me a full life without restraints, and I could also take home the compensation money Rachel offered. However, the money is not worth the benefits I get if I take the first option."These thoughts plagued his brain until Shawn began to feel his throat go dry. However, he needed to decide quickly.In his mind, the first choice wasn't so bad. Shawn might experience major changes in his life by becoming Rachel's husband and fathering her child, but he could consider it a sacrifice for the benefits it would bring.Swallowing, Shawn said to himself, "Choose the first option!"Shawn took the contract and pretended to reread it. After a moment, Shawn glanced at Rachel. "Alright, I'll sign this contract. I will be your husband and the father of your child."Rachel slightly raised the corner of her left lip. She felt a little relieved by the decision Shawn had made, at least for now.Shawn picked up the pen on the table and thoughtlessly scratched black ink on it. Then he passed it to Rachel, who did the same. A contract had been formed.[Ding!][You chose Option 1: Sign the contract and get some nice gifts in return.][A Black Card with a balance of 1 billion will be awarded.]Rachel then put the document away and took out a card. "Good choice, Shawn. I'm glad that you're the kind of person who can use your brain well."Harsh words, but Shawn took them in stride. Those words were no better than the benefits Shawn would get from the contract they had just made.Rachel held out a bank card to Shawn. It was a black card. Shawn welcomed the card and looked at the details.Rachel then said, "You have the card. I'll send your allowance through that bank account."Rachel crossed her legs again and folded her arms in front of her chest. She shook her head slightly in concern for herself. It never occurred to Rachel that she would get pregnant just because of a mistake she made one night.As a person with a big and respected name, Rachel could not possibly let it become a disgrace to her. People would shun and ridicule her if she got caught. It would be detrimental to her and her career. Therefore, Rachel thought of an idea to recruit Shawn to be her shield. For that, Shawn would have to marry her.It seemed that for Rachel, Shawn was an easy man. Rachel thought that she would be able to have him with her money. That wasn't bad as long as Rachel could maintain her good name. With her beauty and wealth, Rachel could get any man she wanted. Just look, every man in this place is stealing glances at her. Pretending to drink coffee while glancing at her. Rachel said to herself, "You should be grateful, Shawn."Shawn opened his wallet and put the card inside. "Thanks, I'll keep this."Rachel took back her sunglasses and put them on. Those diligent and observant eyes were no longer visible to the men who had been watching her. "I'm warning you. You only need to play the role of my husband. However, you must not touch me at all. You must also do the housework such as washing and cleaning the entire house without leaving the slightest stain. You must also play the role of my family's son-in-law and be good to them. Most importantly, you must not tell anyone about our contract. Do you understand?"Shawn nodded, "Okay. No problem."Rachel then stood up, preparing to leave the place, even though she had not ordered any drinks. "Our business here is done. I'll be going."Rachel said that without the slightest glance at Shawn. She didn't even care when he smirked at her. Instead, she walked straight to the black Lamborgini parked in front of the small coffee shop. The shiny car was so expensive that even if Shawn collected his salary for a year, it would only be enough to buy the wheels.Rachel left the place, leaving a deep impression on Shawn. Shawn was in awe of Rachel's lifestyle.Shawn leaned his back against the chair. "Being the husband of a super-rich woman, huh? What a great opportunity for me."Shawn felt that this was an important time in his life. All this time, Shawn had been working for a meager wage, plus he needed to support his family in the village. Sending some of his money to the village had been difficult for Shawn.However, with the contract he had just agreed to, Shawn believed he could make the most of this situation to change his lifestyle. Also, this way, he could more easily help his family in the village.Shawn muttered, "Being a husband? It might not be bad. Isn't it the system?"[Ding!][Sure...]"This steak is amazing!"Shawn sliced the premium beef steak and ate it with gusto. A smile appeared as he chewed and tasted the rich man's dish. The meat melted in his mouth and was juicy. Every chew made Shawn feel happy. "No wonder the rich love to eat at expensive restaurants like this. This food is delicious!"His face beamed. All this time, Shawn could only eat the cheap food he bought from the convenience store. He even got used to eating those non-nutritious foods.He did that to save money and send it to his family in the village. There wasn't much he could eat. Fortunately, today, he could buy it with the money in the Black Card. It was a stroke of luck for Shawn to take the contract from Rachel. Shawn found it incredibly easy to use the Black Card. All he had to do was swipe the card, and he could get what he wanted.As Shawn stood up, a slight vibration in his pocket stopped him. Shawn picked up his cell phone and looked to see who was calling him. Shawn sighed lazily when
"Did you hear what that stupid kid said? He dared to go against us and left the family to enter into a marriage. What an ungrateful child! Even though I've raised him hard!"Lisa continued to grumble. Even her tears began to flow because she was hurt by what Shawn had said on the phone. John got a tissue for Lisa and tried to calm her down. He invited her to sit down. "Already, children who are about to grow up are like that. Insolent."Lisa wiped her tears. She didn't expect Shawn's rejection to make her feel this cut. "Tell me, John. Can asking for 400 dollars make a child hostile to his parents? He even insulted Ryan, his brother. Doesn't he realize we're the only family he has?"John furrowed his brow, holding back the annoyance that didn't subside. Seeing his wife cry like this made him understand that Shawn must have reached a breaking point in the resentment he had been harboring for a long time.Lisa turned to John. The look in his eyes was very sharp. "John, let's go to him a
"I'm reborn?" Shawn did feel his body become fresher and lighter. Was this what was called being born again?Before, his body often felt stiff from being tired from work, but now he felt he could do anything.Instantly, he wondered if he could try something he had never done before. Shawn took a step, and then he jumped into a backflip. It turns out that he succeeded in one try.Shawn immediately smiled, and his eyes opened wide, "Awesome!"Then Shawn also did some moves that he saw in MMA matches, such as punching and kicking, and it turned out that he could do it easily using this body.As Shawn was engrossed in his body, he suddenly felt weak. He also realised that his stomach felt very empty and kept making noises.Shawn held his stomach, "Is it the effect of the rebirth potion? It's only natural for me to be so hungry. Drastic body changes like this must waste a lot of energy."Shawn took his jacket and went outside. His destination was Mrs. Smith's barbeque stall. Shawn would o
Shawn returned Viona's cell phone. The girl smiled sweetly with her eyes looking down, and her cheeks flushed red.Viona was shy. "Thank you, Mr. Shawn."The girl turned around and went back to work, while Shawn went back to his seat to enjoy the barbeque he hadn't finished eating because of the drunks.The golden brown meat was so tempting, the aroma was so distinctive, and the honey glaze on top was so delicious. However, when Shawn was about to devour it, he felt a subtle vibration in his pants pocket. He put off biting into the meat and grabbed his cell phone from his pants pocket.It was a call from Andre, his office mate. Shawn immediately took the call casually. "Hello? What's up, Andre?"Andre replied in a panicked voice, "Hey, what are you doing? Why are you skipping work when we have a deadline like this? The Division Head is furious with your absence."Andre's shrill voice sounded very annoying. Andre was his senior in the office, and he often used his senior status to tell
The two big men held both of Shawn's arms. Shawn tried to dodge, but the two guards were skillful and could hold Shawn down.Roy glared as he approached Shawn. He scolded. "What a loser. Who do you think you are, huh? Scum like you have the nerve to hit me. I'll put a criminal like you in jail. You'll rot in that cold place!"Roy slapped Shawn twice across the face. It wasn't a hard slap, but it made Shawn's face turn red.Roy winced when he saw Shawn's upset face. He patted Shawn on the cheek. "Why, huh? Do you feel helpless? No matter how hard you push yourself and hit me, I still have the power in this room. You poor, stupid thing is still too naive to do such a thing. You should be grateful. I would have let you off quietly if you had just kissed my shoe and apologized."Shawn was silent as he stared at the stupid face before him. The bald man with the mustache was like this, using his position to oppress. Making Shawn work overtime and also giving him a small wage. As a leader, h
Roy's eyes trembled at the words that came out of Gary's mouth. "What are you saying, Mr. Gary? Why do I have to pack my things?"Roy tried to smile hesitantly. He tried to reject the words that just came out of his boss. He had been working at this place for more than 10 years. There was no way Roy would be fired that easily, right?Shawn also felt that the company leader's words were very bold. He didn't know what Mr Gary was thinking at the moment, but this situation was very favourable for Shawn. Without realising it, Shawn grinned slightly, sensing that something good was about to happen.Mr. Gary himself lifted his chin slightly and looked down on Roy. With an expensive suit and hairstyle like that, Mr Gary's aura of power felt very strong all over the man's body.He repeated his words, "Mr. Roy, you lack competence and do things that are inappropriate in the workplace. I am firing you. I want your face off, Gold K for good!"Roy could not blink. His eyes widened, and his breath
"Don't be late!" said Rachel as she hung up the phone without any goodbyes. Rachel's nonsense attitude took Shawn somewhat by surprise.Shawn shook his head while looking at the phone screen. "Women. Impatience is one of her traits. Just like foster mom."Rachel's nature was a bit similar to the foster mother, who often called him to ask for money. It was a good thing that Shawn had cut off contact with his mother, so for a moment, he could relax and not hear the shrill voice of the woman who liked to spend money.Not long after, a text message arrived on Shawn's cell phone. In the text message, Shawn got Rachel's family address. It was an address in Bravery Hill, a complex containing the homes of the elite. Of course, Shawn had never seen it in person, let alone stepped foot in it.The thought of living there with the Rose family, who were Rachel's extended family, would be very hard if Shawn didn't make a good impression on the family. Moreover, Shawn came from a family in the vill
"You can trust me, Mrs. Madison."Shawn opened the glass bottle. Not much was left of the magic potion except for a few drops.Winry furrowed her brow. Suspicious thoughts raged inside her head, "What is this stuff? Ointment? Why isn't there a brand label on that thing? Anyway, it's all gone."When Shawn was about to hold Madison's hand, the woman suddenly pulled it away as if she didn't want to be touched by Shawn.Madison squealed, "Don't you break my skin again! What's that in your hand? Do you think you can fool me with such an unknown item?"Shawn swallowed. This woman was too stubborn. "No, ma'am. I have no ill intentions whatsoever. That skin of yours will heal with this."Madison glanced at Cecil and pointed at him. "You must know this woman, right? You're in cahoots! There's no way that rotten liquid can solve all of this. It's all the same, you rotten woman and you jerk of a man!"The curses from Madison's mouth didn't feel like insults to Shawn. What Madison said was based o
