CHAPTER 42

[JENNA'S PERSPECTIVE]

[RESTORATION COMPLETE]

'A system and a new world?' I thought. 'Is this... an isekai?'

I felt a movement by my side and turned to see Janet, who had woken up. I hadn't even noticed she was there. She was giving me a mixture of a worried and weirded-out look. I laughed and hugged her. It felt nice to have someone who was worried about me, unlike a certain guy I knew.

Not like you care about him anyway. He can have fun with his vampire girlfriend and grow old with her for all I care. I'm staying put here. I'll abuse my newly gotten power and enjoy my life, hahaha!

[THIS IS NOT AN ISEKAI]

BLERGH!

I suddenly vomited blood, causing my sister to rush to my side again.

"Are you okay?" she asked, looking worried.

"I'm fine," I lied. "I'm just feeling a bit sick."

'Damn, what kind of prank is this? What do you mean this is not an isekai?' I thought. 'Who did this? Come out this instant!, if I find you myself, I'll roast your ass into a crisp'

[????? PERSPECTIVE]

"ACHOOOO!" the figure sneezed. "Who is speaking so affectionately of me?"

"I said I'm fine," I said to my sister, attempting to get her to leave me alone. "It's just the side effect of a pill I took."

"Oh, I see," she said. A pink book suddenly appeared in her hand, but I stopped her before she could open it.

"I told you not to use that book anymore," I said firmly.

To the outside world, Janet was a strong-willed and talented warrior, but to me, she was more than that.

To the outside world, Janet was a strong-willed and talented warrior, but to me, she was more than that. In addition to being my beloved twin sister, she was also on the brink of graduating into the "siscon" category. She had two books: a black one where she wrote the names, characteristics, and other information about people who had offended me, and a pink one… well, I preferred not to think about the pink book. If someone's name got into the black book... let's just say the person might have some accidents, if you know what I mean.

"What's that?" Hmm, you're interested in learning about the pink book? To be honest, I'd rather not discuss it.

SHIVER!

The pink book contains every detail about me, captured in both words and pictures. It reveals everything from weekly updates on my measurements to my eating habits, sleep position, and many other personal aspects that I'd rather keep to myself. I'm genuinely unsure when, how, and where she gathers most of that information. It reached a point where my past self had to forbid her from using the book. Now, I'm beginning to wish I didn't have a sister at all. Damian was easier to deal with. Give me back my Damiaaaannnn!!

I was still thinking to myself when I remembered something - didn't the people here think of me as a failure? I smirked, though my usage spells weren't as creative as other mages at my level, I was still better than my predecessor who had weak spells but high creativity. After all, I was part of a fragment, and if my defense was a nightmare before, what about now? I wouldn't die until my HP reached zero.

"Hehe," I laughed to myself. "Status!"

[DING!]

The status screen materialized before me.

[PROFICIENCY WOULD STAGNATE AT 4.5 UNTIL LIGHTNING GAINS A UNIQUE PROPERTY]

"Whoa," I muttered. "I'm overpowered!"

It wasn't my fault, though. It had been a long time since any of us checked our status screen - we got bored of always checking the illusory screen, expecting to see something new, knowing that we wouldn't. The system seemed to want us to gain our abilities on our own, not that I was complaining. I kinda understood its reasons for that.

I smiled, remembering all the hours of reading books i had to endure to increase my spell repertoire and turned to my sister " Janet, why don't we have a little spar" I said
