Arthur quickly rushed over to inspect the unconscious Doctor Patrick. He did not want a dead man on his hands. As despicable as Doctor Patrick was, Arthur had no intention of killing him because he would be seriously implicated if the law enforcement was involved. Currently, his defense was, the real culprit was the Jade Rabbit. Which sane person would buy a story like that? Therefore, if he really used that as his defense, he would not only be thrown into jail but into the sanitarium as well.
The faster, the better.
My head felt like it was being constantly hit by a hammer, and unable to withstand the severe pain, my senses began to slip away.
As we made our way into the plains we discovered our first enemy. According to the UI, they are called "Treelets" and, as the name suggests, they are small trees with human characteristics like arms and eyes. While not the greatest of foes, we had to start somewhere.
After a few hours of running, I feel tired as hunger assaulted me.

"Ella. They delivered something to us." Arodelf's cheeks were all red and flustered. He was avoiding to look at what's neck down. He was already clothed. I was bare. The cloth didn't do much to cover me. My nakedness didn't bother me that much. He already saw everything that I have.
He kept silent for a second or two before he stopped in his tracks slowly, stood there for a moment before turning his head over to his wife.
Emily then went to the dining room to have dinner with her parents and the others. She noticed Beck and Ben were absented, but she did not asked much about it. Since her parents told her that Ben went out and Beck was on a mission. However, she still felt a little uneasy...
Imma have a long post and just tell how this is different from the others. Let me start off with the quick transmigration genre as a whole; all of them has systems (points, rewards, shop, stats, etc.), good-looking exceptional targets, a smart lead, missions, MC in original world is abused or overpowered, and obviously, different plots each world. Here’s the thing, it’s really hard to justify the word DIFFERENT because this exist in a genre where the premises are practically the same and you have to play with the rules of the genre just like how you can’t have one love interest then call it a one-of-a-kind-harem. Well technically speaking, each book is indeed different to any other books one way or another. Here’s the review (finally): in all of those premises I’ve mentioned, the author really tried to make it different than all the other QT novels, and trust me, I don’t feel any deja vu (the “I think I’ve read this somewhere before”) while reading this. 1. First, the system. You know how systems usually have 30% screen time? In here it’s about 5-10% on average. System does not just spoil FL with EVERY SINGLE detail. Most MCs usually use the PLOT as their cheat but since the system prevented our own FL, she gets to make her own coincidences.2. No (or almost none) plot armor. There are no easy successes. No overnight magical victories. The FL fails and even she herself experience heartbreaks. She schemes, yes, but does not always succeed and takes time to execute; and those targets (so far) are all logical thinkers and don’t just randomly fall for her or mindlessly pursue her in the name of love losing their character in the process.3. The FL’s emotions are very realistic and relatable. Most transmigrators usually are heartless and cold, and have very high IQ where they see the world just objectively. Our FL here is not that kind of person [maybe yet]. She’s guarded yet still vulnerable. She feels really human to me (Am I making sense?) and she’s just the right amount of intelligence and maturity where she still has space to grow and learn. JUST GREAT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!4. Lastly, I have implied this throughout my comment: I think although this is a QT novel, the transmigration vibe is not really strong. Which I believe is a good thing. The FL is truly living her life there like a resident and treats people as REAL CONSCIOUS PEOPLE, unlike most QT where the other characters are, well, characters in a story with predetermined sets of actions. **. There ought to be similar stories out there but our author here is truly one of a kind. Her writing is on point and the characters are just sooo alive.
Slipping on my undergarments, I grabbed a simple white t-shirt and blue jeans to wear. Stepping outside with the pillows, sheets, pictures, shoes, the wedding dress, and a few more things, I stepped outside. Setting all the items on the sidewalk, I got into my car. 'I need to buy some lighter fluid and a metal crate.' Buying what I needed, I put everything that reminded me of him into the metal crate. Dumping lighter fluid on top, I grabbed a match. Striking a flame, I released the match on where I poured the lighter fluid and grabbed a bucket of water. 'Just in case.' Sitting down, I watched the flames rise. Noticing smoke, some of my neighbors stepped outside to see me sitting in front of a metal crate with a water bucket. Looking closely, they saw that what was burning was a wedding dress. The pale blue faded away on the train, curling up becoming a brown than a black. It was a heartbreaking sight watching the fire burn away the beautiful dress and other items beneath. 'Burn away my pain.'
"I-I--"
