Chapter 20: Plan Thrown Out the Window (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Be that as it may, making Mu Tingfeng’s life hell was not going to be an easy feat. At least, she knew that she could not count on her own family.
Zhao Youlin currently had the status of a lady from a prestigious family, but even a prestigious family had its own woes.
Her biological father was the second child of the family. He was a promiscuous man who had numerous mistresses outside the family. Meanwhile, her mother was the daughter of a merchant. She had passed away when Zhao Youlin was only five years old. Soon after, her horny father had taken in her stepmother, who had given birth to her step-siblings. They were one or two years younger than her. It was apparent that the woman had hooked up with her father long ago.
As the only surviving bloodline from her late mother, one could imagine how awkward her position was because the mistress had usurped her mother. Four years ago, she had moved heaven and earth to ensure that she got married to Mu Tingfeng. She had genuinely fallen in love with him, but aside from that, she had also been provoked by her stepsister. This sister of hers had hooked up with a man from a wealthy family and flaunted the perks she enjoyed in front of her. The unrelenting oppression that surrounded her since childhood had pushed her to commit acts that passed the point of no return…
Ahem… Fine. When her eccentric father eventually found out that she had been the one who offered herself to the Mu family, he had been surprisingly calm. On top of that, he had been delighted. His response had left Zhao Youlin bewildered.
If her absurd family did not cause her trouble once they discovered that she would be divorcing Mu Tingfeng, she would consider it enough of a blessing. How could she expect them to actually help her?

After she fell into deep thought for some time, Zhao Youlin’s eyes sparkled. She turned to the bedside table and picked up her mobile phone. Her fingers moved to dial a number that she knew very well by heart.
The phone did not ring long before it was answered. Soon after, a familiar male voice with an annoyed, drowsy slur was heard from the other end. “Who’s the bastard calling me this early in the morning? I was having such sweet dreams! Who are you? Trust me, I’ll beat you up so badly that your mother won’t recognize you!”
Although he was just whining aimlessly, his voice stirred up so much nostalgia in Zhao Youlin. She smiled until the person on the other end finished cursing her. She only replied a while later, “It looks like us not meeting for a few days is enough to add a new layer to your temper!”
Joy had crawled far away, and he was now playing with a soft toy. Upon hearing his mother’s voice, he quickly crawled back to his mother’s side. He tilted his head curiously to look at the mobile phone in his mother’s hand.
Zhao Youlin’s heart skipped a beat when she saw how adorable her son looked. She could not help but give him a smooch.
At the same time, there was a momentary pause on the other end before the person hesitantly threw a shot in the dark. “Who… are you?”
Zhao Youlin only smiled more cheerfully. In contrast, the person on the other end felt goosebumps all over his body. She continued, “You can’t even identify me by my voice. Do you want me to hang you from the big tree at your school entrance just like that day for your juniors to admire the might of their Senior Luo?”

The person on the other end was dead silent for a few seconds. Soon after, the clattering sound of something falling could be heard, along with the dull thud of a person hitting the ground. Even Zhao Youlin could sense that the person was in great pain, judging from the sound that traveled through the phone.
Several moments later, Zhao Youlin heard a sharp gasp from the other end of the line. It sounded like the man was terrified for his life.
After a while, the person on the other end cautiously asked, “Are you… Sister Lin?”

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
