Chapter 1: The Heavenly Demon in his Third Life
I ended things with my girlfriend, Abigail Bardot, when she was at her lowest. She despised me for it, but three years later, after becoming a CEO with a multi-million dollar net worth, she came after me—an ordinary office worker.
I became the envy of others, but she ruined what had once been a loving and happy relationship.
Three years into our marriage, Abigail began bringing other men home, parading her affairs right in front of me, laughing and flirting with them as if I were invisible. I became the fool she cheated on, but I never got angry. All I wanted was for her to be happy. Yet, Abigail got furious instead. Her nails dug deep into my skin as she yelled, "Are you even a man? Why won't you get mad?" I just stared at the ceiling blankly as I heard their moans through the walls.
But that wasn't the worst part. I wasn't Samuel Gebb from this novel. I had been transmigrated here by the system. In my past life, I was the Heavenly Demon before I read this novel as I was a College student.
There crumpled medical report in my hand revealed something terrible: I was dying. A rare disease, so uncommon that it was named after me—Gebb's disease. The doctors offered me a chance at a trial overseas. It was a slim hope, just a few more years to live.
But with my demonic martial arts and heavenly knowledge, I could easily recover. I vowed to make Abigail realize just how much I hated her for causing my depression in my first life as i read this Novel.
Samuel was nothing but a lab rat, subjected to endless treatments and medical procedures. His body bore the scars of countless needles, and even in the summer heat, he had to cover them with long sleeves.
Just then, my phone rang. "Hey, Samuel..." It was Abigail, speaking in a sultry voice, yet she was just in the next room, too lazy to even speak to me in person.
"Yes," I replied. I stuffed the medical report away and knocked on the door to the next room.
