Synopsis

I, the suspiciously previously unnamed protagonist, have woken up to my normal everyday life after a strange 'dream' I had when everything is so different, even me. But even when the world and even people have changed, I kinda gotta keep on living, which is confusing when no one notices ANYTHING WRONG with the world.

Chapter 1The Shift

The world has been stable throughout recorded history. Things like physics don't change overnight, neither does the past. Of course, humans think this is the way it should be, however before pen, paper, tablets, clay, even language itself, the world has changed many times. Animals change overnight, history changes course, or even lives change to fit the new world. The world is overdo for what is about to happen to our protagonist, in which was dubbed "The Shift" … not that anyone but he will ever know.

"You'll be getting on tomorrow, right?" - ???

"Of course. After I get my homework done, so don't hold your breath." I said to my friend.

We had met online, but honestly, I felt like I could talk to him more than anyone. After logging off my computer I decided to get a quick snack, however looking outside the window something strange was happening.

Walking up to the window I looked out to see the sky was a majestic crimson spreading into purple. It was strange so I checked the internet, but for some reason my phone wouldn't connect. From the focal point of this strange sky some sort of wave that looked like it was made of crimson gold powder spread over the world spreading out from where it began.

It was then I noticed something weird, as the crimson gold powder covered the world it strangely seemed to disappear, but not without seeming to take the world and reality itself with it. All it left was a void, it didn't look black, white, or any color that I knew. It was nothing incarnate. Like trying to see behind your eyes, it had no color, it was nothing.

With nowhere to run (you can't exactly run from something that will literally follow you to the ends of the Earth), I got swallowed whole by this nothingness…

Waking up in what looked like my room, still groggy having forgotten what had happened the day before, I slowly came to realize, "I'M NOT DEAD!!!"

"What're you going on about? Be quiet up there! It's 4 o'clock in the morning!"

Huh, that was my mom so maybe all that was just a dream. As I go to brush my teeth though I notice something weird. First of all, why are my ears pointed, what am I? An elf? Second, I was definitely not blond before did someone dye my hair?

And last but most importantly… why the HECK am I alive? I mean look, I didn't notice my voice before because I was half asleep, but it had to be higher than it used to be. And why didn't my mom think it was strange? A random girls voice in her house? That would freak me out.

As I go downstairs there's other weird oddities. I realize that for some reason my house is basically a big tree, and outside is another tree that I swear pierces the stratosphere with how high it is. What was that thing? Yggdrasill? It was then I saw my mom. She didn't look that much different than before, but with the common difference that she had blond hair and pointy ears. Weirdly she seemed to be acting normal, as if she had always looked like that.

I decided that if she doesn't notice, something has to be going on, right? I mean from the manga and web novels I've read, and am totally not addicted to, this seems like one of those reality shift stories. I'm not a dense anime protagonist, I know that, at best, questioning about what's going on is going to get my sanity questioned, and at worst, get me in front of a therapist.

"Hey mom." I decided to act like everything is normal. I may be going a "little" crazy inside, but I'm still capable of rational thought, okay!

"Hey Jess, what are you doing up so early?"

'My name is Jess now? Now that I think of it what was my name? I can't seem to remember...'

"Uh… just… kinda woke up I guess?"

"Okay well just get ready for school, okay?"

Oh no, I forgot. Today's the first day back to school. Where is the school in this crazy world anyways!?! Well I guess no one notices anything wrong with me. I'm just lucky my school doesn't require uniforms or something, so I can just wear a hoodie or something.

I would hate it if I fell into some kind of silly trope. I do wonder though, if I changed this dramatically, what happened to all my friends? Do they remember what happened? And why do I remember what happened in the first place? The world can be so confusing sometimes! This is crazy you know. It's like everything I've ever known has been thrown out the window.

"Okay, well when you're ready we need to go!"

"Got it!" 'Whelp, this is gonna suck.'

Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200% Rebate System

Aurora Waters was overwhelmed with despair when she faced the truth about her family. She had been born into a family of villains. Even worse, her family had an unhealthy obsession with faking their identities. They took “Fake it till you make it” so seriously that it usually ended with them getting killed! Her oldest brother pretended to be a CEO just to mess with the female lead, but that backfired when the male lead showed up and threw him out. Her second brother? He was an obsessive lover who pretended to be a wealthy second-generation heir—until the real heir ended his life. Her third sister? She faked being an heiress to manipulate the second male lead but ended up being killed by him. Her fourth sister? She faked an illness to attract the third male lead’s attention, only to die from a real one. Her mother? She put on a facade of being a kind and loving mom but ultimately met her end at the hands of the male lead. Her father? He pretended to be a powerful tycoon but lost his job and was drowned by the second male lead. And Aurora? She planned to impersonate the daughter of the richest man alive, but if things went the way they always did in her family, she’d probably meet her end by accidentally falling down the stairs. However, there was one glimmer of hope in this nightmare: she had a 100% rebate system that rewarded her for spending money on her family! [Beep! You bought an eraser worth 1 dollar for your eldest brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] [Beep! You bought a candy worth 1 dollar for your second brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] Aurora’s eyes sparkled as an idea took shape. She began spending on her family like crazy to rake in cash. [Beep! You gave a bun worth 20 dollars to your childhood crush! 100 dollars has been credited to your bank account!] Aurora: …! That’s walking money! What Aurora didn't expect, though, was that she would end up becoming one of the technology big shots herself, in the end.

The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat!

'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'
