"Whose face is this?" said Alex as he watched his face in the mirror. The room he was currently in was shabby. Unlike his luxurious and well-equipped room.
"Adam!"
"Useless son-in-law, come here!" the voice shouted. Alex glanced back. He frowned not understanding.
"Adam?"
"Who is he?"
Alex walked toward the source of the voice. He rounded his eyes to see a middle-aged woman shuffling in front of the door.
"Useless son-in-law!"
"Don't you ever think that I already bought my daughter diamonds, why can't you give diamonds to her?"
Alex was silent for a moment. She was trapped in the body of a useless son-in-law. What a pity. Is this a curse? Was it God's curse because he was always wasting his money?
"Adam!"
Alex let out a long breath. "I'm going to buy your daughter diamonds, Mistress."
"When?"
"Being a servant, can you afford to buy my daughter diamonds? Don't make excuses, it!"
The middle-aged woman pushed Adam's body and almost fell over. She walked towards her room. A beautiful woman ran into the room. She gave Adam a sharp look.
"Look!"
"My mum doesn't like you because you're poor, why not work hard to buy the diamonds she wants?" The woman's hands were folded. She gave Adam a contemptuous look.
"Yes, you always say you'll try. But you still look so disgusting!"
Alex frowned. He thought that the body of the man he was with was very poor and despicable. That woman must be his wife.
"Adam!"
"I'm warning you if you're still poor like this and my family doesn't like you. Then we will get divorced!"
The beautiful woman left immediately. Adam sat on the sofa and massaged his heavy head. It was like this in a poor man's body. Back then, everyone praised him. Everyone respected him. But now, he was trapped in a poor man's body.

"Grandma Queni have a birthday tomorrow. I want to give you the best present. Maybe jewelry or some kind of souvenir but something fancy."
Adam looked at his wife, June. She continued to nag without stopping. Adam let out a long sigh.
"Why are you still at home Adam?"
"Aren't you supposed to go out for food today? To be a waitress at my family's cafe?" Juni realized that her husband was still in the house. Unlike usual, Adam was still at home and did not immediately go to work.
The man let out a long sigh.
"Why are you always angry, Juni."
"I'm angry because you're so poor. Understand, I'm the daughter of a famous businessman. My grandmother is highly respected in this country. Although an immigrant, we are highly regarded. How could I marry a poor man like you."
Adam's chest thundered. Despite being trapped in a poor man's body, he didn't like what she was saying. It seemed like June was abusing him when in real life, he was a wealthy man. Even his descendants could still enjoy his abundant wealth.
Adam got up from his seat.
"I'm going to work, but where is my workplace?"
Juni rounded her eyes in disbelief. Yesterday her husband had indeed fainted. But Juni didn't expect Adam to lose his memory because he fainted.
"You don't know where your workplace is?"
The man nodded.
"Yes!"
Juni let out an exasperated breath.
"I'm telling you, Adam. You are an unwanted servant. I want you to know that your place is Cafe Nomma. A cafe that my family built. Work there because you're a waiter, I'm ashamed to even say this!" Juni explained without pause.
Adam nodded.
"Alright!"
***
Alex frowned at the man's clothes. He was trapped in Adam Brown's body. A man who works as a cafe waiter. What a curse, he thought.
"I'll take one shirt that's decent for me." Alex looked at his face in the mirror.
"This man's body is unkempt."
"Why to be stuck in this body?"
Alex then walked out of the room as he thought that his appearance was good enough.
"From now on, I'm Adam Browns. Okay, I'll help this despicable son-in-law become a billionaire like me."
"But, what's the date now?" Alex looked at the calendar in the house. His eyeballs widened when he saw the square object. The year 2023? Wasn't it the year 2015 when he was in Diana's apartment? He thought.
Alex let out a long breath.
"Okay, where is Diana now? She's still in the same city, Rome. I'll look for her.”
"Okay, now my name is Adam Brown, I'm Adam, not Alex." Alex tried to convince himself.
Adam immediately went to a cafe. The place was very crowded. A tall man dragged him by the hand to the kitchen.
"Serve your servant well, dishonored son-in-law!"
"You're not recognized in the family at all, you're very poor and I'm very sad for you." The man continued to rant and Adam didn't understand.
"Queni family made you a son-in-law to cover up the case of their daughter. Miss Juni got pregnant, and the man who impregnated her was irresponsible. you are very sorry. You had to bear their burden."
"But, when you married Miss Jun, she miscarried and you were stuck in that wealthy family, as a beggar of course!" The tall man laughed.
Alex began to understand. "What a despicable body this man has," he thought. Alex pretended to understand. He had to disguise himself as Adam.
"Yes Sir," he replied after a long silence.
"I understand who I am, I also understand what is going on," he said. The man frowned not understanding. Adam would be angry and shouting. But today, he was very calm. He didn't seem to take offense anymore.
The man then spat in Adam's face.
"You're not angry?" he asked without feeling guilty.
"If it's like this, are you angry?" the man burst out laughing. Adam clenched his hands. Adam Brown's body was too patient to bear all this. Alex tried to calm down.
"Okay Alex, calm yourself down. You're trapped in a poor man's body and you need to find a way out."
"You're in 2023 and you should be in 2015."
Adam looked down and wiped the spit off his face. He walked over to the empty glasses and started doing his job. He wasn't going to be provoked.
"I'm Alex, not Adam and when I live in the future, I will kill you!" he thought.
***
"It's 2023?" Alex repeated that. He understood well that he was in 2015 and was about to kill his wife who was having an affair. But why was he thrown into the future in the body of a poor man like Adam?"Don't daydream, Adam, a very rich man is coming with his wife. He's a loyal customer of ours. Don't make trouble with him!" the man exclaimed.Adam tried to clear the table of former customers. A sexy woman soon walked into the cafe. She sat on a chair with a haughty face."I hope he dies soon.""He's been unconscious for years." Adam heard the woman's words."Yes, Alex should die." Alex's eyes widened as he recognized the beautiful woman's face. she is Diana. Without thinking. Diana embraced Marco's body and kissed the man's cheek in public.Adam clenched his hands."Damn, they're here. How did God put me together with that demon woman?" Adam tried to contain himself. He was in another man's body. If only he could hit Marco, then now would be the best time for him to do so."Never
Everyone in the room sneered at Adam. They whispered. Many said how poor Adam was in Juni's family. An orphaned man with no family."Juni, let's go home!"In his former life, Alex was a powerful man and everyone adored him. He was cursed to be in the body of a poor, despicable man. What kind of bad luck is this? He thought to himself.Juni brushed Adam's hand away. He stepped away."Don't embarrass me, go if you want to go!""Don't invite me, I'm very embarrassed by your presence right now!" Juni sneered. Abigail, Juni's eldest sister spoke up.She looked at Adam from head to toe."Look at you, how despicable you are, Adam.""You humiliate your wife at this big event, don't you ever think of working hard to buy her an honorable gift?"Abigail spat in front of Adam."You're poor, living in your family so people will respect you," she continued.Inside Adam, Alex couldn't stand the insults at all."Go away!""Don't come again. I will match my sister with a handsome and rich man. Not lik
"Coma?""No way!"Adam shot the guard an incredulous look."Go away!""You poor bloke, don't stay here. If you don't want to leave, I'll throw you out!" he said then. Adam turned round and left immediately. He looked down at the luxurious building. Back then, everyone seemed to respect him. Even when Alex told them to lick his shoes they would.But alas, he was a poor man with no honor.A silver car drove in front of him. Adam frowned. It stopped in the lobby. Diana got out with Marco. They were laughing and looked happy. Adam clenched his hands."How can she look happy when up there, her body is in critical condition?""Her soul moved and now she's in agony.""God, Adam, why are you so poor that I can't pay them back?" Alex muttered to himself. He punched Adam's body. The place where he was trapped.Diana stopped her steps. She looked back."Honey, what are you looking at?"Diana continued to stare at Adam."Honey, that man keeps looking at us. He's a waiter at Nomma's cafe, isn't he
Adam looked at the address Diana had given him. He smiled."Thank you Miss!" he said kindly and hurried away. Adam vowed to make Diana pay for her behavior. He had to meet with Abraham and tell his assistant all about it.Adam went back to his house as it was very late. Juni must be waiting for him despite his wife's nagging."Are you home?""Don't you want to be here? Why come out of Dominic's shop? My father went to great lengths to persuade him to take you in," she explained.Adam let out a long sigh."Juni, I want to find another job. Don't talk so much, I'm tired of listening!" Adam walked past her. Juni's brow furrowed."So, you want to go to the office tomorrow?""Oh yeah, Herry got the manager position at my dad's office. As a token of gratitude, he invited us."Adam, who was about to enter the room, stopped his steps. He looked at Juni with an incredulous expression."Herry, who is he?"Adam had a problem with Herry in the past. But Alex didn't know that."Herry?""You don't
"Diana, what are you thinking?""9 years, why don't you divorce Alex and marry me?" Marco hugged Diana's waist from behind. He looked at the beautiful woman.Diana brushed off Marco's hug and moved away. Something was bothering her at the moment. But she didn't know. She didn't know what it was either."Looks like Adam isn't an ordinary person,""What do you mean?"He didn't understand. Diana was his girlfriend. They had been together for a long time even though Diana was married to Alex. There was no love in their marriage. Diana accepted Alex as her husband because he was rich.Besides, Diana could continue her career as a top artiste. "What do you mean, Diana?" asked Marco.Diana took a deep breath and exhaled. She sat down on the sofa. "What if Alex wakes up one day? Does he even know that I'm cheating on him?"Mr. Toni will not give Alex's property to me. Even when Alex dies, it won't pass into my hands.Marco laughed at his lover's words."Are you afraid of that?""I have money,
Adam looked at Abigail. "It could be, couldn't it? You don't have any money. Don't tell me if you want to steal, it's embarrassing for the family."Adam ignored her. He walked to the exit. Abigail continued to sneer. "You shouldn't have married a poor, useless man like him in the first place, Juni.""You're beautiful, and young, and many men would be attracted to you," Adam was listening to all this. But he didn't care."Well, I'll buy that woman diamonds, to make this body respectable in the eyes of her family," Alex muttered. He had to thank Adam for being willing to borrow his body for a dangerous mission.***"Abraham, do you still have the black card I gave you last time?" He got up from his seat and walked towards the cupboard. His hand trembled as he handed Adam his black card."I need it.""I'm going to buy diamonds for another woman. Of course, the woman is Adam's wife. What a pity for this body, insulted every day. I can't even bear to listen to it.""Sir!""When will you a
Juni's eyes lit up as she looked at the fancy diamonds Adam was holding. Abigail almost fainted looking at the box. She couldn't believe that Adam had bought diamonds for his wife. It was impossible and until now, it hadn't entered her mind."You stole, didn't you?""tell me if you stole, I know it!"She believed that Adam was stealing. There was no way he had the money to buy diamonds. It was impossible.The whole Yun family rushed over to the diamond. Adam had brought the diamonds to the family gathering."Look, is this fake or not?"Abigail touched the diamond. "Real?"She didn't believe Adam had the money to buy diamonds."Did you steal it?""Or is this diamond fake?""It's impossible for you to have the money to buy diamonds. I can't believe it. My sister, June. Don't trust your husband. He must be lying to you. He must be stealing. We don't know what he does outside."June looked down. She was confused."Hi, Adam!""Herry could have bought these expensive diamonds instead of you
"Juni tonight Hery has invited us to dinner. Invite your husband to come along. I hope he's motivated to be successful like Hery. I suspect that he stole the diamond.""He has no money Juni, where did he get the money to buy you the diamond?"Juni thought about what Abigail said."But sister, that diamond is a real diamond.""He didn't lie, she bought real diamonds!" Juni had already checked the authenticity of the diamonds Adam gave her. She also didn't think that her poor husband could buy diamonds."I'm sure he stole them.""Adam is poor, useless, how can you believe that!""Never mind, I hope he comes to Herry's show, we'll see what he can do."Abigail walked out of the house. She was very curious about the diamonds that Adam had bought. Adam wasn't lying. But Abigail was sure that the diamonds Adam had given her were fake. wait until Adam is humiliated in the living room. Abigail was sure of her views.Juni sat on the sofa and was pensive. In her hand was a fancy diamond."Did he
Alex got out of the car and walked to Loli's mansion. The bodyguards confronted him. There were five men in black suits standing in front of him and looking at him with astonished expressions. "What are you doing here?" the man asked. "Is Madame Loli in there? I have business with her," said Alex. The five men looked at Alex from head to toe. He looked at Adam with an astonished expression. "I mean no harm; I want to meet Diana, who is in there. Didn't you just announce Adam's death? Did you think about what you just did?" said Alex. "It's none of your business; you can't go inside the mansion. There are a lot of rules in place. Even former bodyguards can't enter!" one of the bodyguards said. He was annoyed by the ridiculous rules made by Madame Loli. "Can't I come in? Just for a moment?" said Alex. "I want to see Diana. I want to see her now! Can I come in and see her?" said Alex again. He glanced at the watch on his wrist. He didn't have time right now. The man let out a long
Alex woke up in his nightmare. He had absolutely no idea what was going on with his life right now. Every problem confronted him. Even when he tried to walk alone.Alex knew that June and Abigail were making plans to kill him. The two humans hated him and wanted to destroy his life.Today, Alex returned to visit his body in the ICU room. 10 points of life was very difficult for him to get. He had to fight desperately to get those 10 points of life.From behind the window of the ICU room, he saw Adam with a stiff body. Everyone gave up and was pessimistic seeing his condition like this. Not even a few of them thought that the man was dead.Adam's body lay quietly on the bed with a soft white blanket covering him. His graceful face had a peaceful and calm expression, as if he was just fast asleep. Seeing such a state, Alex's body felt very weak. He didn't even have the energy to support his body mass. He was hurt to see himself who didn't even have the effort to live."Alex?" said the v
By now Adam's position was slightly compromised by the attacks that the five thugs carried out together. The kick Adam received right on his head made him a little unsteady and dizzy."So what do you think? Are you still going to be so big-headed?" asked the leader of the thugs with a ghastly smile."You think I'll just give up? That's only in your dreams," said Adam, who was now lying on the muddy road."What a stubborn man," said the leader.Adam slowly stood up while holding the back of his head which was hurting from the kick given by one of the thugs.Unexpectedly the figure of Bram who had been hiding earlier now appeared while brandishing a gun at Adam."So you also took part in this attack?" asked Adam while looking at Bram."I'm one of the people you've harmed. Your presence in the company has led to my grandmother's dishonorable removal. We've all suffered since your arrival." Bram's voice sounded very loud as if he was pouring out all his frustration."Hahaha... it turns ou
The five thugs were even more enraged after hearing Adam's questioning words, which in turn challenged them."But, before the fun begins, I'd like to ask you a question." Adam looked very calm, even though he was masking his fear and nervousness.Adam was still confused about his powers, which sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared. There was a feeling that his powers were unreliable in many circumstances."What do you want to ask?" asked one of the thugs."Why are you doing this?" Adam said in a tone trying to hold back his emotions. "What do you want from me?"Getting a question that sounded stupid to the five thugs made them laugh out loud."We've been sent by someone to reprimand you, Adam," said the leader with a cynical face. "The man who sent us said that he never got a share of the family's rich inheritance."At that, Adam smiled bitterly. He knew who was behind all this."Are you saying that the person who sent you is June?" asked Adam, still looking very calm.It wasn'
That night, Juni sat in her living room with Abigail, her sister. They were planning a diabolical tactic to intercept and kill Adam.Abigail was an expert at setting traps, while Juni planned how to control the thugs Bram had iontacted to carry out the evil plan."I'm pissed off at that guy. If I had known that my position would be in danger in his presence, I wouldn't have married him," Juni said while clenching her hands into fists."You take it easy, Juni. Bram and I have already arranged a plan. Tell me about Adam's habits," Abigail said."That bastard usually goes out in the middle of the night, even when he's tired, to get some fresh air." Juni tried to recount Adam's habits."Where does he usually go?" Abigail asked again."He can go anywhere. But my advice is to lure him away from his apartment. Find a dark place to kill him." June's eyes flashed at the thought of the agonizing death her ex-husband would feel.Bram was seen walking toward Abigail. "Then I'll set up near her ap
Alex was furious at what was happening with Madame Loli right now. She should not have concluded her health condition so easily. Mrs. Loli seemed to think she was gone, and that was what she wanted.[System!][Alex, congratulations on earning 5 life points.]A holographic screen appeared in front of him. Alex was surprised. He was just about to get out of the car when the hologram screen suddenly appeared in front of him."Didn't I get 5 life points earlier? Why did I get it again?" asked Alex in surprise.Your help to that woman was worth 5 life points. You used your sincere heart to help. Therefore, you get five life points.Alex smiled."So, the total life points I've collected are 15, and now I have to collect another 15, right?" said Adam. The holographic screen showed the points that Alex had collected.Of course, you don't have much time. When the grim reaper comes, you won't have time to collect all those points. Use your time well. You don't have much time left," he explained
At night, the atmosphere around Madame Loli's house was quiet. Madame Loli was already dressed in a fancy dress, presenting a graceful and elegant appearance. However, her heart was heavy as she was getting ready to hold a press conference about the death of Alex, someone who meant a lot to everyone.Alex was well-known as a successful businessman when he married Diana, a respected model at the time.Amidst the silence, flashes of camera light filled the room as journalists and reporters began to flood the house. Diana, a close family member, stood next to Mrs. Loli. Their faces looked tense, reflecting their feelings of confusion and sadness. Diana honestly didn't agree with the idea of holding this press conference.She knew how much Alex meant to Madame Loli. Alex was still fighting hard to survive in the ICU, and news of a quick death like this would add more stress and sadness to his recovery process. How could Mrs. Loli, her aunt, announce Alex's death today while she was still
On the way to her treatment room, Alex didn't see Soni at all. I don't know where he is now. Alex searched for Soni's whereabouts. Some health workers said they hadn't seen Soni in two days. Not like usual.The clock struck four in the afternoon. "Is he not here yet?" Alex asked Abraham."Alex, I've asked some of the health staff, and they said there's no Soni anywhere. I guess she didn't come to the hospital to do her job. Maybe she's on duty somewhere else," Abraham explained."Alright!" said Alex. He then walked to the waiting room. Anne was there. The girl named Anne was faithfully accompanying Adam's body."Do you go to school? Do I work outside?" asked Alex. Anne shook her head. "I don't work, nor have I gone to school," she explained."Good, I want you to keep Adam here. Don't let anyone else in. I don't want them to come in, do you understand?" asked Adam. Anne smiled."Do you want to give me money for this job?" she asked, raising one eyebrow. Alex rubbed his chin. He was con
They searched for Adam's whereabouts elsewhere; Adam didn't have much time. He had to find Adam's current whereabouts."Is he in another hospital? When I saw the system showing Adam, I saw him in a dark room. I don't understand what happened to him," Alex explained.Abraham drove the vehicle quickly."We have to find him quickly; the five points of life are very important for your survival," Abraham explained. The old man had begun to understand the point of life.They arrived at a hospital that was usually reserved for the elderly. Adam got off immediately. He looked for Adam's name on every patient list. There was no patient named Adam. But Alex didn't give up. He had to find Adam now."How can I find Adam if I don't know what his face looks like? It's impossible to find him anytime soon. I have to know what his face looks like. If it's like this, of course, I can't find him," Alex explained.Abraham split up."Adam, why are you here?" said the voice. Adam turned around and saw Dare
