Chapter 1: Rebirth

3rd Person's POV

It was silent.

So silent that she could only hear her own heartbeat.

She felt like she was floating in the air as if there was no gravity.

It was peaceful. She didn't feel the grief , anger , sadness and regret that was eating her up from the inside as she always did . She didn't want to wake up.

There wasn't any day or night in this void . Just some endless books and  scrolls . She didn't know how long she's spent in this place before one day , a cold and mechanical voice rang in her head .

[ Conditions have been met . Now activating the system.... ]

When she reopened her eyes , she saw a young and beautiful face looking back at her . Ah...so it was her reflection.

Her silky and shiny hair cascaded down to her waist as her downcast eyelashes fluttered softly. Further down is a perfectly angled chin and supple cherry red lips. It was just unfortunate because her beautiful face was covered with an ugly fringe.

Francine closed the faucet and lifted her head slowly, revealing a pair of cold and indifferent eyes.

[ Welcome back , Mistress ! ]

" Yes , I'm finally back aren't I ? " Francine took out a paper towel and wiped her fingers one by one . Her voice somehow carried the air of indifference, not suiting for her age .

The system turned into a form of a cat and laid on the floor lazily.

[ Mistress , are you going to unlock your mission? ]

Francine nodded .

" Yes ."

[ Ding ! Successfully unlocked random mission . Successfully unlocked daily mission. Successfully unlocked hidden mission. Successfully unlocked level 0 system ! Congratulations, Mistress! ]

Francine kicked off her slippers and grabbed the towel then took a shower. After she's done, she looked at the mirror at the thin , weak and malnourished girl who had a long fringe covering her eyes and gave herself a mocking smile . She lifted her hair , revealing a slightly tanned delicate and beautiful face.

More than anything , Kendra hated the fact that Francine was prettier than her . Francine could clearly recall a time back when she was 12 years old , Kendra came to her and complained .

" Little sister , everyone says you're more prettier than me . Big sister is unhappy."

At that time , Francine really loved her elder sister and couldn't stand it when she was unhappy. To keep her elder sister happy, she hid her gorgeous face under the ugly fringe , this lasted for four years .

During Francine's childhood , her father did not come to see her even once . Her mother died because of childbirth. Her father didn't care for her , so Francine lived with her grandparents until she was ten . Her grandparents got into an accident and went missing . Because of this , her father didn't have a choice but to take her in .

At that time, her father took her into a very beautiful house . Inside the house was an extremely cold auntie , two big brothers who were looking at her fiercely and a cute big sister looking at her curiously.

Then , her father told her that those people were her step mother , step brothers and step sister. She happily greeted them , thinking they would love her like what her grandparents did but was only rejected and looked with disgust in their eyes .

Only the cute big sister was the one who showed her kindness , and she blindly loved her like her own sister.

Recalling those disgusting memories,  Francine's supple cherry red lips twitched into a sneer .

She was really stupid in her past life .

Suddenly, the system who was in a cat form spoke. [ Mistress , the space has been opened. The space can be planted and can store food infinitely! ]

Francine listened to the system's words and closed her eyes .

When she opened her eyes , she saw a very fertile land for vegetation as well as an exquisitely refined bamboo house . Behind that house is a very large empty space with various fruit trees planted around it . There was also a large river in front of the house , and on the left was a little pond .

After comprehending everything, a

change finally occured within Francine's dull eyes . This space is the most convenient facility in the apocalypse.

Supplies were what was needed most in the apocalypse. Francine , who had survived the apocalypse for about ten years , knew the importance of supplies in the end of the world .

Thus , after she knew she actually had this precious thing in her , Francine's cold face changed and a faint smile grazed her cherry red lips.

" Thank you, system."

In this life , she wouldn't be the foolish Francine anymore .

After thinking about it , Francine stripped and walked into the river which is also called spirit spring , which had a marrow washing ability that she needed . Although supernatural beings are powerful , it is better to have a good physique.

Immediately after immersing herself to the spirit spring, Francine felt a surge of warm energy flow into her entire body , the comfortable feeling made her at ease . But after a while, a piercing pain enveloped her body , all of her muscles and bones were breaking and growing again . Francine bit her lower lips and endured it all . After all , this pain is nothing compared to the pain of being experimented .

Breaking and growing, this cycle continued for about an hour, yet Francine didn't make a single sound . The deep hatred and determination gave her the strength to endure this all.

After the marrow washing was done , Francine can clearly feel everything. Her five senses became sharper , her strength and speed increased , her slightly tanned skin turned fair , and her slightly brown hair turned jet black and smooth .

Francine went out of the space and looked in the mirror . Grabbing a scissor nearby , Francine cut off the fringe that was covering her face . After cutting it in a short bangs , Francine looked at it with satisfaction. Putting her hair into a simple ponytail, Francine went out of the house after changing her clothes .

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air, the only thing that came to Francine's mind this time is ....Eat! Eat! Eat!

Walking into the nearby restaurant, Francine ordered several kinds of food and ate happily. While eating , Francine almost burst into tears . She hadn't eaten this food for ten years, imagine how much hungry she is.

She suddenly thought about something and asked the system inwardly. " System, if I put something like food in the space , will it rot or expire ? "

The system answered . [ No Mistress. The space can keep the food fresh forever as long as it enters the space. ]

Hearing the system's answer , Francine was satisfied.

After eating , Francine walked into the park with satisfaction. While walking , Francine silently recalled some things in her previous life.

The apocalypse began at the first day of April . In her last life , zombies broke out on her way to school , but she also discovered that she had innate zombie antibodies! All zombies are excluded . Even if she was bitten by a zombie, she wouldn't become one .

Relying on this , Francine , a young and ignorant girl, managed to survive in the cannibalistic environment in the apocalypse. Later , she even used this skill to take her father and stepmother's family to the apocalypse everytime she went out to look for food . She managed to hold on for eight years.

But later , because of her zombie immunity , her so called family sold her to the research institute.

In that cannibalistic underground research institute, Francine was crazily subjected to inhumane human experiments everyday for two years . She either receive electric shocks or was injected with various toxin test products everyday . Even to verify whether she was really inhumane , the nasty Professor Miller locked her up with 300 zombies.

She went out uninfected!

Although she would not be infected by the zombie virus, it does not mean that she will not be attacked by zombies . Even the pain of being bitten by zombies is more severe than that of ordinary people.

Thinking of the days in the research institute, Francine felt a strong hatred in her heart .

After calming down, Francine turned to walk back into her house . Francine's house is a 30 floor villa , and she lived in the 29th floor .

She directly went inside the elevator and pressed the 29 button in the elevator. As the elevator went up , Francine sighed and opened her mobile phone. January 2 , 2050 . 2:30 pm . The date and time was displayed on the screen .

Ding!.....

The sound of elevator pulled Francine back into reality. As the elevator door opened , she happened to bump into her neighbor.

Her neighbor was a man in his near twenties , probably eighteen years old . The man was tall , fair skinned and had a muscular physique. The man was extremely handsome , and people who see him will unable to look away .

However, the man's eyes were cold and was devoid of any emotion, making anyone shudder . Well , except for Francine . She only glanced at the man's face with an equal cold and blank expression on her face.

She saw many handsome faces in her previous life, and knew that the more beautiful the face is , the more dangerous the person .

Francine still had an impression of this man . In her previous life, she was once rescued by him .

As she thought of this , Francine has already arrived at her door . Opening the door , Francine immediately opened her bank account and saw the countless zero that almost blinded her eyes.

Right , Francine is a rich woman .

She carefully looked at her bank account again and saw that she had ten billion in her account . Francine's cold and expressionless face had a faint smile, surely , saving money is indeed very useful.

Francine is a girl who liked to save money and has a strict budget . Even though she was rich, she always limited herself and saves money .

Turning to look at the time on her phone again , Francine found out that it was almost three in the afternoon.

Francine thought of what to do first .

Firstly, she sat down in her desk and turned on her laptop to record the things she needs to buy .

She listed everything she needs such as food , clothing, seeds , medicines, ect .

After Francine was done listing and planning, she gazed out of the window and it was already dark outside. Francine closed the window and cooked a simple meal , ate dinner and fell asleep.

It's been so long since Francine had a good night's sleep .
