Views: — Comments: 1,835 | 20xx.xx.xx 19:02
Someone organized this and I’m reposting it. The world has gone completely insane.
1. Actress Sia was attacked by an unknown assailant
2. But the culprit’s identity is Sia’s biological father. Apparently he was investigated years ago for extortion and threats, demanding money
3. After that he received a restraining order, but instead of reflecting, he harbored resentment and is suspected of planning this incident (according to sources)
4. Sia barely managed to contact her manager. She was transported to the Hospital but is currently in a coma
5. The culprit was arrested on the spot and is currently under investigation
6. The culprit claims Sia used supernatural powers and insists he’s innocent…;; They’ve requested a psychiatric evaluation and drug test
7. Sia previously revealed that she was abused by her Father in childhood and confessed to having an unusual family situation

– Insane! Is that really her father!
– Wow, Lord! I’ll send that bastard. Please forgive me
– How can someone in human form do that? Is he really her biological father?
– Please conduct a proper psychiatric evaluation! I hope he doesn’t get off on an insanity plea!
➥ Our Sia is safe, right? Sob!
➥ Does anyone know which Hospital she’s admitted to?
➥➥ Even if you know, visiting would be a burden
– Our actress Sia grew up so well despite having such a father. You young people who blame everything on circumstances should reflect
➥ Yes, old man. Save the “back in my day” talk for home
– Supernatural powers! Oh! Is it really true?
➥ Yes, just go get a psychiatric evaluation too
The internet was in an uproar over Sia being attacked and rushed to the Hospital.
The top search rankings were completely flooded with keywords related to her.
“Sia, how are you feeling?”
“I’m fine.”
But contrary to what the world believed, my condition was actually much better than expected.
It was true that I lost consciousness when transported to the Hospital and underwent surgery, but I regained consciousness immediately after the procedure.
Moreover, I was now in a state where I could move about lightly.
“What about that man?”
“He’s still spouting nonsense. He keeps saying you immobilized him with some strange power or something.”
“….”
“Don’t worry about it. This time he absolutely won’t escape as easily as before. This is clearly attempted murder!”
My manager Hyunseok was seething with anger, completely unlike his usual gentle demeanor.
I don’t even remember how he drove to my place after receiving my urgent call.
When he entered with the police and saw me collapsed in a pool of blood, I can’t imagine how shocked he must have been.
“I’ll look into a Residence with better security. I should have moved you sooner.”
“Okay, just take care of it for me.”
“Everyone’s worried about me. I’ve pushed back the drama filming schedule as much as possible, so don’t stress yourself. Just focus on recovering.”
“Understood.”
“I’m going to speak with the doctor for a moment.”
“Okay.”
Once my manager Hyunseok left, I picked up my phone again and searched for news about myself.
A faint smile bloomed at the corners of my lips as I scrolled through the comments.
It was a strangely unfamiliar experience to have someone worry about me and grow angry on my behalf.
Wrapped in this warm, fuzzy sensation, I couldn’t help but smile.
“Sigh.”
Still, I had no idea what would happen to that man calling himself my father. Given the poor public opinion, it seemed unlikely he’d be released easily.
“Surely no one actually believes what he’s saying?”
He was claiming to have superpowers. Unlike that other world, this one had no magic, so everyone seemed to dismiss his words as nonsense.
“Well, that’s a relief at least.”
I was a bit cautious—what if someone harbored doubts about his claims?
I should probably refrain from using the system to attack or defend myself for a while.
“It looks like I’ve accumulated some points again.”
I remembered seeing a notification awarding points as a reward for completing the 【Sudden Quest: Eliminate the Enemy!】 just before I collapsed.
When I opened the system, sure enough, 4 points had accumulated.
System

“Hmm, investing in acting is definitely the right choice, isn’t it?”
I still fell far short of matching Sia’s acting ability.
Yes, pouring everything into acting was the way to go.
I had no idea when I’d be able to act with real skill without the system’s help. I needed to catch up quickly.
“I wonder how things are going over there?”
Meeting this man called Father made me suddenly think of Sia, who originally inhabited this body.
How was she faring with her family over there? Her family was quite formidable as well.
“Sigh.”
Sia shook her head quickly, recalling the cold gazes people had cast upon her when she existed in that other world.
Pointless thoughts. I am no longer Camilla, after all.
She picked up her phone again and scrolled through the encouraging comments people had written.
Ding, ding!
“Huh?”
In that moment, something flickered before her eyes—a phenomenon that appeared whenever the system sent a notification.
Seeing the red light flashing, Sia tensed slightly. The system notifications had specific colors, and red signaled an emergency.
Could someone be plotting against her again? She quickly opened the notification window.
System
(ง˙∇˙)ว
!
The Soul Management Bureau announces!
By the Soul Manager Dorman, a choice has been granted to you.
You, whose life has been so painfully difficult. You, who possess not a single cherished childhood memory!
For you, we have prepared this!
Life Reset
“…Reset?”
Starting over from the beginning?
As if answering her question, the system continued its notification.
System
(ง˙∇˙)ว
!
Life Reset
Your current life will be completely erased, and you will gain a new one.
A good family, a good home. A life filled with fortune awaits you.
However, all your memories thus far will be erased. You will be reborn as a young soul who knows nothing.
“…Reborn, you say?”
Sia read and reread the system’s message.
In other words, I would escape all my current circumstances and gain a new life.
All the memories of suffering from that other world would be erased, and I would be reborn as an innocent young soul, meeting a new family.
“A new family….”
A family for me? I would have one?
Not a painful family that despised and scorned me, one that even tried to kill me?
“Family….”
Sia continued to turn the word over in her mind. It felt unfamiliar yet nostalgic, strange yet somehow warm….
System

!
Time of Choice
You stand at a crossroads given only once in a lifetime.
You have been granted only 168 hours.
167 : 59 : 58
Merely a week’s worth of time. The countdown displayed on the system dwindled rapidly before my eyes.
So I’m meant to make my choice within that timeframe?
The text at the very bottom of the system notification window blazed brilliantly.
System
(ง˙∇˙)ว
!
Yes
or
No
“….”
Was this truly a question that warranted an entire week to decide?
“My choice is….”
Sia’s hand moved slowly toward the blazing text.
