Good news: While fleeing from zombies, I unexpectedly gained the ability to read minds.

Bad news: This mind-reading ability seems to only work on my sister.

It was then that I discovered my sister, who had always been closest to me, actually wanted to steal my destiny.

Suddenly, I heard my sister's thoughts.

I was apparently the protagonist of this world, blessed with the protagonist's luck. All the hardships I would endure were meant to be stepping stones for my future.

My sister couldn't accept it.

We were born together, grew up together. Why was she just a supporting character while I was the protagonist?

So, my sister activated a system to steal my destiny.

If she managed to get me killed, she would replace me as the new protagonist of this world, gaining the extraordinary luck that others couldn't match.

At that moment, during our escape from the zombies, my sister was pushing me towards a group of ill-intentioned men.

She pointed at three fierce-looking men sitting in a Jeep and said to me, "Emily, see those men? They have special abilities and food. If we go with them, we'll have a good life."

But I heard her think, "Go on, once you're tortured to death, your destiny will be mine."

I looked at the men who had just dragged a woman into their car. Screams were constantly coming from inside.

My sister pulled me towards them without giving me a choice, pushing me forward, "This is my sister."

The man with a scar on his face looked at me with malicious intent, "Little girl, want to give it a try?"

So, I stepped to the left, spread my hands, and pointed at my sister.

"My sister likes you. She wants to have a good life with you."
