Chapter 1: Chapter 1 My 100'th Life

Kisha Aldens as a fresh graduate looked high and low for a place to work, our society now is very competitive and almost all companies are looking for stellar workers with experience and a good family background. Hence, Kisha did not fit in with the requirements, her only advantages are her stellar grades and her celebrity-like face. Despite her clean records, others still valued their interest and helped their relatives to get the positions.

After a multitude of applications sent to various companies, big and small, she finally landed an average position in a medium-sized company.

At first, everyone treated her cordially, she even garnered some admirers because of her pure and kind temperament and she's great in her work, but it's also because of this quality that she has gained the jealousy and envy of other women.

Their Manager Lisa was the first to make a move when her sugar daddy, the company's Director got captivated by Kisha's beauty. The unsuspecting Kisha had almost become a capitalist toy if it were not for Lisa's fear of being replaced, would she not have helped Kisha avoid the disaster. However, she also started targeting Kisha, giving her unfair treatment in the company and even instigated others to do so.

Kisha felt that it was unfair and hard not to get angry but if she gets fired. It will be harder for other companies to hire her, her only choice was to persevere and resign after a few years to have a better prospect. Not until she suddenly saw a bluish system interface showing a countdown in front of her face.

She thought she was hallucinating after long hours of work and lack of sleep. She tried to look around and saw her colleague acting normal. She blinked a few more times but it was still there. Another prompt message appears.

"Ding"

"[User had met the requirements to integrate with System 008]"

Below the message was a 10-second countdown. She did not know what it was, the feeling was very novel. It was so vivid that it was hard to think of it as a hallucination, not unless she was going nuts.

There were even two buttons to Accept or Decline the offer.

She tried to wave her hands around but accidentally clicked the Accept button. The interface changed and showed a loading icon that almost occupied the entirety of the interface.

She was puzzled but she was not given time to think deeply,

The department manager Lisa walked out of her office as she shouted. "Alright, everyone! Finish your respective research and report! I need it by the end of the day!" She walked around the room in body-fitted clothes and 6-inch high heels.

She never forgets to stop at Kisha's desk to sarcastically demean her. "What are you doing Ms. Aldens?! Start working! The higher-ups are egging me on with the development report for the new project! You're as slow as a turtle and as dim-witted as a pig"

Kisha kept her head lowered and did not speak because the more she tried to explain, the heavier their bullying would be. No one would stand up for her nor show sympathy. One's weakness is not their business but Kisha has never experienced this before, she grew up well protected by her grandparents.

She always believed that as long as she's a good person and her conscience is clear, she'll soon find her happiness. Naive, I know. But she was raised by a middle-aged couple who found her on the road when she was 6 years old. They were good people and forgiving, they would always tell her stories of Prince and Princess and isolate her from the madness of people's inner thoughts because they wanted Kisha to remain kind and pure even when she grew old, that's why Kisha grew up believing in Prince Charming and never delved deeper into people's hearts. This belief caused her not just an arm but life, or should I say lives.

Kisha's long and curly eyelashes fluttered as she blinked multiple times, a severe headache assaulting her head as she listened to the loud voice above her, sounds of computer keyboards halted almost at the same time, and women around snickering as they enjoyed another bout of Kisha's miseries.

Not long after, there was a big earthquake, cracks slowly crawling on the walls, and things falling from high places. This sends everyone into chaos. After the scary tremor, everyone evacuated the building in an orderly manner and stood outside looking for an open space to avoid the aftershock. Not long after the earthquake was a bloody rain that lasted for 10 minutes and was enough to cover everyone from head to toe with blood-like fluids, the horrifying scene was so scary that everyone thought that it was the end of the world.

Well, they are not wrong. Soon after, their thoughts started materializing. People outside started screaming in pain and scratching their skin as if trying to dig into their flesh.

Horrified, some took a step back and looked at the woman who was squirming on the floor. A man tried to call for an ambulance while two other men tried to stop the woman from hurting herself, thinking that she was having a panic attack.

The woman bit the man holding her arms, and due to the pain, he pushed her using all his strength. But the chaos intensified, more people started biting on the people near them and the scene became bloody.

Kisha was scared silly and held the person next to her, Lisa. Although Kisha was not weak they were all mentally unstable because of all the blood gushing and spraying around. She didn't know what to do until one of their male colleagues pulled them to run.

It was crowded outside their office and everything was in chaos, and it became a stampede.

They turned and entered the building instead to hide for a while to monitor the situation. When they thought that they were safe, a man with part of his face's skin falling off and an open stomach ran after them, it attacked Lisa but since Kisha was still holding on to Lisa's arm, Lisa kicked Kisha to the zombie to be her meat shield.

Kisha's eyes widened in shock and pain but she could not do anything and was bitten in the neck. She used all her strength to push the zombie away, blood painted her white polo shirt.

"Ding!" " Congratulations Host for Successfully integrating with the system." A childlike voice sounded in her head. Aggrieved and flustered 008 said. "Oh no! I was too late, you were bitten by the infected."
