Chapter 73: LORA
I sat hunched on the edge of my bed, back in the safety of my villa. But there was no comfort in its silence.
Tears slid down my face—silent, bitter, unstoppable.
The flood of memories refused to slow. One after another, they crashed into me, carving deep scars into my consciousness.
"I was... such a loser," I whispered, voice cracking.
Not in the way of power. No—back then, I was an A-rank Challenger. A rare healer. Respected, even admired. But compared to now, I was powerless. Blind. Trusting.
"My name was Chen Yu..." I murmured, barely recognizing it anymore.
I had parents. I only got to know that recently, after the seal shattered. Their faces had faded long before I awakened in this new world, but now their warmth, their smiles, their deaths... it all came flooding back.
The truth twisted my gut.
None of this—none of this power, this system, this rebirth—was mine. In my previous life, I didn’t have the Ultimate Experience System. I had only the common one—the Challenger System. And now I realized... the moment my mental strength surpassed the system’s design, I broke free.
And what did I learn?
The so-called past... was a lie stitched into my soul. A tailored narrative. A script.
