The second half of the system

Arabel and her twin brother Arslan were 17 years old when the world around them plunged into chaos and destruction. Both were high school students, which was a private school for the children of wealthy parents. All the students, with the exception of Arabel and her brother, were spoiled children who had been surrounded by luxury and privilege since childhood.

Every day at school, they compared their parents' fortunes, and each boy tried to get Arabel's attention and woo her. However, thanks to her brother, who was always by her side and protected her, she could easily avoid annoying suitors.

The day the world collapsed; she was followed by a guy who had recently transferred to this school. He tried to get her attention, but she was so annoyed by everything that was happening that she even hit him. Her brother had to pull her away, and it was only because of this that they both ended up outside the school when the disaster struck. They, like several of their classmates and friends, were lucky to survive that day.

Before the world was destroyed, the Morgan family was famous for its wealth and influence. Even after the disaster, their status did not change due to the power of the family. When the United Federation was created, thanks to their connections and influence, they won one of several seats on the Council.

Arabel and her twin brother Arslan have been raised in strict traditions since childhood. Their parents were conservative people who planned their children's lives from birth. Even the choice of future spouses was carefully thought out.

Arabel and Arslan, like all the other members of the Morgan family, were aware of their belonging to this powerful family. Their birth mother, following the family's instructions, married a young man from another influential family.

As children of this union, Arabel and Arslan couldn't help but notice that their parents weren't always affectionate enough with them. Like the rest of the family, they saw them as valuable assets that could benefit them in the future.

After the disaster, the Morgan family not only did not lose its position, but also began to increase its influence, using the opportunities that opened up. When it became known that Arabel's future husband did not survive and died on the day of the disaster, she immediately found a new groom from an influential family.

The situation escalated when one of the family members, having received revelations after the "Blackout Day", learned about the existence of another world and the method of awakening. As members of the Council of the United Federation, they gained access to first-hand information and were among the first to support the Federation's policy.

Initially, the Federation did not want to disclose information about the end of the world, which was supposed to happen in 10 years, fearing that this would only cause new problems. However, it was the Morgan family who insisted that the public learn about the upcoming events.

They argued that if the revelations had already been received, there was no guarantee that they would not happen again in the future. In this case, it will become difficult to hide information. Instead, they suggested using knowledge about the end of the world as a means to unite survivors.

The so-called awakened young people, who were identified as a result of mass vaccination with awakening serum, were included in the same scheme.

It was a real blow to Arabel when, after the introduction of the serum, her twin brother Arslan became one of the awakened ones, while she herself could not achieve success.

Although all the family's attention was focused on Arslan, Arabel did not feel much emotion.

She didn't envy her brother, but rather sympathized with him. On the same day that Arslan's awakening became known, her family immediately terminated the marriage contract between him and his fiancee from another influential family and immediately formed a new alliance with another, more powerful family.

Everything would have been fine if Arabel hadn't found out about her ex-sister-in-law's feelings about her brother. Although her brother was a bit distant and didn't always show kindness to others, he didn't object to their marriage.

However, now everything has changed. Because of the awakening, their marriage was dissolved, and his brother's ex-sister-in-law fell into despair. Her family blamed her for the fact that it was because of her that the marriage was dissolved and they were unable to establish contact with the influential Morgan family.

It soon became known that she was unable to awaken and eventually committed suicide, unable to withstand the pressure from her family.

Time passed, and Arabel and her brother turned 18. They were in no hurry to marry her off, hoping that she would also be able to awaken, just like her brother. So far, they have not dared to use it for their own purposes.

Arabel soon heard rumors that the family was looking for a new suitor among the so-called awakened ones. They wanted to use her to attract a young man who does not belong to an influential family, but has an awakened gift.

These intrigues began to irritate her. Since birth, she and her brother have been just useful tools for their family.

Another cause for concern was the dissolution of the marriage that had been arranged for her brother after he became an awakened one. Now they were trying to arrange her brother's marriage to an awakened girl from an ordinary family.

She was so disgusted by the family's politics that she even considered running away.

She was also worried about her fiance from another influential family. His antics and frequent visits became the reason for her discontent. Although this young man was unable to awaken, he was a descendant of an influential family equal to the Morgan family, so the family had not terminated their marriage contract yet.

Things might have turned out differently if she hadn't found out what a lecherous and wayward man her boyfriend was. She hated such people with all her heart, and every time she caught his lustful gaze, she wanted to beat the crap out of him.

Due to her awakening, her younger brother Arslan was no longer there to protect her from her fiance's attacks. Her patience was running out, and she was on the verge of breaking down.

After the world experienced the first invasion of alien beasts, she was forced to take part in a gala ball dedicated to this victory. She needed to demonstrate her abilities in front of all the influential people in the Federation.

She was bluntly told that she had to attract the attention of awakened young people, and this disgusted her.

At the ball itself, she came early and met with her brother. Although they couldn't see each other as often as they used to, even these rare meetings were of great importance to both of them.

Her brother Arslan shared his problem with her. His family tried to get him married to a girl who had awakened power. Everything would have been fine, but this girl, even though she was born into an ordinary family, had a strong character. She resolutely refused the offer and even openly attacked Arslan to express her position. Although Arslan did not try to get close to her, he understood that it would not be easy for him to defeat her in a direct fight.

When she saw her brother complaining to her, she couldn't help but smile. Her heartless brother, who usually keeps a calm face, rarely showed his emotions like this. She began to wonder what could have caused such a reaction in him.

Soon, after some questions, she assumed that his brother liked this girl, and because she had hit him, he did not know how to behave with her.

Seeing her brother's problems, she did not complain to him about her own.

Soon they were notified about the start of the ceremony, and they and their brother went out into the great hall.

Her younger brother immediately got surrounded by young and rich girls who tried to attract his attention.

While her future fiance, who was being chased by other girls, noticed her. Even when he was with her, he openly flirted with others, which caused her great irritation. If they had been alone, she probably would have strangled him.

Arslan, who was watching his sister from the sidelines, noticed that she was on edge. He quickly approached her and distracted the attention of her so-called future son-in-law.

Arabel took advantage of the moment to slip away and disappear into the crowd of guests.

She quickly got tired of the constant attempts to hide and decided to rest. She found a far table where a young man was sitting, looking at others with annoyance.

Arabel had no time for him, and she sat down at this table in the hope of hiding. Perhaps the young man's company could give her at least some time. All this time, she cursed her family and her future fiance.

Lost in thought and exhausted, she involuntarily reached for a glass to quench her thirst.

At that moment, her hand touched the hand of a young man with short black hair, who also reached for a drink.

When their eyes met, a monotonous voice rang in her head.:

[Ding! The perfect user has been found, and the activation of the Supreme Wife System has begun! 5%]

[Ding! The Supreme Wife System Has Been Activated!]

[Ding! The perfect partner has been found, and synchronization with the Supreme Husband System has begun! 1%]

[Ding! The system is synchronized with the Supreme Husband System! 100%]

[The first task of the system has been issued!]

[Invite your future husband to dance for 1 hour!]

[Failure of the task – deleting the system and losing the opportunity to awakening!]

…

…

Arabel heard deafening sounds and voices. She stared straight ahead at the young man in front of her, who was also looking at her in disbelief. The two of them stared at each other for a while longer, and then exclaimed at the same time,

"WHAT THE HELL?!"
