The Science that went wrong

"Receive information."

Rum layed in bed to receive the information. Series of information appeared inside her head, exploding out of what seemed like a cube.

This is a world where science makes life go around. Even though it has not reached the interstellar era we all dreamed of, it is indeed a thriving world here medicine, food and communication was even comfortable than it was in the 21st century era.

But like every other story in every other world, greed consumed human beings. Those above grew even more adamant on change .

They wanted to change their fates. They aim to become immortal.

This is where all the mishaps started and then years later, this greed will start what we call an Apocalypse.

Although, this was not always the case.

You see, this world was supposed to be an easy going C. E. O. World where the only problem in the main character's life is the people who wanted to bed them, people who are obsessed with them, people who wanted them dead and finally their inner conflicts.

Typical dog-blood drama if you want to describe it brief and concise.

The Female lead is a Femme Fatale who had been reborn. Although, her memories consist only of the C. E. O. world information. She came back from the first life and would like to redo the mistakes she has done and get together with the Male lead.

Which is Rum-or the body she inhibits's Father.

He is also the target for this mission.

Currently 25, Agar Frey is said to be the most promising of all the third generation rich kids even before he entered the business society.

In short, he is your typical business genius.

Him and the Female lead actually were enemies in the business circle. But with all the fighting-and flirting-they fell inlove.

But before all that, this burden called Adessa Lonora Frey arrived at the Frey household.

She was the by-product of a night of schemes and mistakes. Her mother was from a family the Frey family was wary of. They hated this family because of the many offense it had with the Freys.

So her sudden appearance after the fall of that family brought great disgust to the current master of the Frey Estate, Agar Frey himself.

It is said that because of neglect, she grew up twisted and jealous of other people. She strive to get her father's approval to no vail. She watched as all the work she has put into the company was considered lowly while the small drawings of her half brother brought great joy to her father.

Because of this, she always plots to kill the mother and son duo. Agar at first turned a blind eye to this since she contributed a lot to the company. But overtime he grew tired of her and her growing sloppiness at work.

He just ordered to have her killed.

The Female lead, this wolf in sheep's clothing even orchestrated a great accident for her after the male lead obviously gave her permission to do so.

The twisted lady died, and it didn't even make a ripple.

The task is to make sure the male lead survives the Apocalypse and produces a son who shall carry the luck of the world like the male lead. It did not state if it has to be the female lead. But to be sure, Rum will find the female lead and have her meet with the male lead.

'I mean, scumbags is fit for another scumbag right?'

If they love each other so much and wants to build a family that much, Rum would gladly help them, these scum couple.

As a parent herself seeing the past of the child she now inhibits, she just could not blame the child. She was only five when she came here and without even trying to understand and investigate the life of this child before she came into the Frey house, Agar Frey disregarded her like a trash, feeding and providing for her like some sort of pet kept for appearances.

You can imagine how suffocated and alone she must have felt...

"It's okay now Adessa, I'll make sure to take revenge on your behalf. Even if I cannot harm the leads, I can at least kill a few other culprit."

She opened her eyes and sat up.

" I am five and the Apocalypse will happen next year. I have time to prepare and locate the culprit behind the scenes. It would be easy to kill them then. If I fail to kill them before the Apocalypse, then I'll kill them in the Apocalypse. I just have to hide my identity when chaos starts. No one really cares if I am alive or not. "

For now, she will have to spend her time getting used to this new body, starting with her physical capabilities.

in the Hall of Champions, she learned every type of self-defense. But the body she has now will have to keep up with her memory.

"HUP!"

For now, she will do some Yoga to strengthen her body core and then some exercises for flexibility. She's young, so the more flexible she is the better. The advantage she would have to exploit is her small height and her small body.

'I have to become swift and flexible since hand - in-hand combat would be difficult for this body.'

So except for washing up, eating and taking walks outside, she spent her days exercising or learning about the people behind the scenes.

She also befriended the servants in order to receive daily gossip from them and it did not fail her.

As for her cheap father, she has not seen him and would only hear about the latest news about him and his company or which celebrity he brought in as a partner in some parties and such.

Not that Rum cared anyway. As long as she knew where he was at, it was alright. Maybe the system thought of this too so it was silent and just giving her updates every now and then.

"Today, I might as well go kill some people."

[Finally. I'm already bored to death.]

She stood up and pulled out a mask from her space. It was not a very fancy mask, just a full-on gas mask which had the generic colour of black.

But it had been enforced with magic to stop it from getting damaged.

"Well, you're excited."

What an evil system.

Carefully locking the door and leaving behind a copy of herself, peacefully sleeping in her bed, she jumped out of the balcony and disappeared. She appeared above of a building overlooking the metropolis which the sunset illuminated.

Rum found the first target a month after she came here. It was the aunt of Adessa Lonora Frey.

She had that sly smile on her face and a very cunning personality.

She married a director from a big University so she avoided the calamity of her family.

"Living so comfortable after the deeds she and her family had put this child through as well as her own sister? Now, Now. We can't have that right?"

[Well, you should just k*ll her.]

"No... Not yet. At least not now. Let's wait for the night to fall down."

She stared at the horizon as the short-haired woman walked around the mall shopping for luxury things.

"Wait, shopping. I can actually embezzled funds from her."

[In preparation for the Apoclypse?]

"Yes. Although I don't need it, let's just mess with her."

She waved her hands and a holographic screen only visible to her, appeared out of thin air.

This was the server she can use to connect to the network of the world she is currently in. She can do everything in here, and obviously it beats any type of technology any world could have.

"Alright. Since I can't stop the Apocalypse, I'll just make sure the appropriate people suffers more than the others."

She began her meticulous work and made sure that every swipe of that platinum card, she would be charged double and the other funds would go to Rum's virtual account she made in her space.

[Hey, buy me some peanuts or some smoke.]

She found out in the system user manual that the system also have their own incentives, but they can only get it after the world had been cleaned up or conquered.

"Alright."

So how can Rum not buy him a lot of snacks? Even if she hates this system, she also find him quite pitiful.

The man who received the bags of snacks and a lot of smoke, sat down on his chair to watch the show.

In just a few seconds, the platinum card almost had no funds on it. But this was not something that certain woman worries about. She was afterall, a rich man's wife.

But oh baby, was she wrong.

She did escape from death that day, but over the next few months, she and her family met with unfortunate circumstances .

Their company began to decline , her husband began to have problems at work, her children got into accidents and they had to pay for both damages to victims, damages to public property, one of them went to the police and was bailed out with a huge prize, and one broke a bone and had to go under surgery which costed them almost three hundred thousand.

She also found out that her husband had a son outside.

"ARGH!!!!!!"

She broke everything or anything she sees. With anger boiling from the pits of her being, she went and assaulted the mistress which landed her in jail.

The system watched in pure horror how one single person took only 3 days to destroy a family and even implicate others whom she deemed worthy of such treatment.

She only used three days to scheme...

[You are a menace to society.]

Rum, who was in her space managing her stocks of food, water, beverage and other needed things she bought for the Apocalypse, just hummed.

There were clothing too and weapons. From guns, knives and swords.

"What?"

[Are you not guilty?]

"What for? This line of work is just like the Times where I handled the businesses of my family."

She placed the cans of baked beans in order inside the preservation shelves.

"There. Now what we lack is the materials we can use to make some salves and some potions."

She went back to the real world just in time for the maids to come with food for her.

As usual, they were friendly with her, pity evident in their eyes.

Rum felt bad. People in here are too nice. If she was a villainous girl, they would have become her pawns.

They told her to eat well and was about to go out when a small boy, maybe age 7 came in arrogantly, staring at the maids then at the little girl who was about to eat her food.

He had an upset look on his face, walked over and knocked all the food out of the table.

"Young master!"

The maids tried to stop him, but he already picked up an bread from the floor and threw it at Rum.

"Pig! Disgusting monster child! Why are you still in my uncle's house?! You and your mother, both dirty and vile! Always wanting to leech off my father! If you didn't come, then uncle would have no problem marrying anyone!"

Rum, who had been hit with a bread on her small face, gritted her teeth.

She can't just slap this kid, not right now. That would be no fun.

" Miss, are you alright?! "

" You dare to help this shit?! "

The maids wanted to comfort her, but the boy glared at them, and even picked up a spoon and threw it at Rum, hitting her eye.

It would have hurt for someone else, Rum expected it to hurt too. But there was none. Even as the gash on her eye bled, she felt nothing.

"Miss!"

The older maid heard about the commotion and came worriedly. The young master is known to be prone to hurting people, especially those whom his uncle did not like.

When she saw the bleeding girl, so frail and poor, she couldn't help but shed tears.

But the child looked up and smiled at her so innocent and sweetly.

"It's okay, I'm used to this."

Used to it?

The child hopped down as if nothing happned, took a cloth from her closet and pushed it to her eyes to stop the bleeding.

"Miss! Let us help you stop the bleeding-"

"I'm really okay! Don't trouble yourself. Just-clean the room and go..."

Is... she worried they would get in trouble if they helped her? Just what did the young master do?

The old maid turned to look at the seven years old with disapproval, which made the young boy shrink his neck and run out.

They had no choice but to clean the room and leave, since the young lady looked really worried and terrified.

They felt that if they insisted, she would become even more scared.

"Just, tell us if you need anything, miss."

Ofcourse this event was not reported to the Male lead since they all knew he never cared for the young lady.

Rum sat there, looking at the mirror and smiling.

"So that was my cousin, Arlet."

She saw that the cut was not that deep, but enough to leave a scar on her eyelids and below her eyes.

"So the pain receptor of this body had been cut off."

Those people, they're much more evil than she thought.

[Are you not going to heal that?]

"No Ofcourse not. Later, this would be useful. It also looks kind of cool, right?"

[You're really one type of scum, woman.]

Rum just smiled and cleaned the wound with water and did not even bother to cover it.

"Now, time to relax. I want to play with the dolls."

She grabbed a small pink suitcase from her and opened it while sitting on the floor.

"Those people really are cruel. But they do have taste."

The dolls she mentioned were weapons. The adults around the original owner called them dolls to fool the people around them in case they ask the small child what she liked to play with.

They did not want to raise a marriageable object, rather this child from the Freys will be used as a weapon.

They had this sick image of what if a daughter of the flourishing happy family of the prestigious Frey House becomes a dirty murderer?

[Well only you would be happy to see them.]

Weapons, from small knives to small shurikens, poison needles and bottles of poisons made to kill a bull in one pierce, was inside the case. There were also chains connected to two small curved knives, syringes, dart board, darts, a dart gun, and finally arrow heads detached from it's body and a dismantled crossbow.

Rum picked up one of the poison bottles and opened it.

[One dose can kill thirteen bulls. They sure did everything to create a weapon. Who would have thought they would perish before they could even achieve the purpose of all their efforts?]

"What a pity."

Adessa was really a pitiful cannon fodder.

"Her trash father even added to the pain."

It was really tragic that Rum could only smile bitterly. Her life and this child's life seemed to mirror each other in some ways.

She must use this life well and die peacefully as someone with glory and Valor rather than someone used as a stepping stone.

With a hum, Rum started to play with her toys. First she assembled the cross bow with nimble, small hands. It was obviously made for a little girl, maybe she could use it until she was about ten. It was supposed to be heavy, since it was made out of silver mixed it steel and wood.

She placed down the cross bow and was about to assemble the arrows when someone spoke behind her.

"What are you doing with those things?"
