3. Wei's truth is revealed to hao

Three days had passed.

A soft, golden morning light entered through the window of the palace room. The white curtains near the window swayed gently with the breeze.

Wei (who was now Riya) lay on the bed, breathing quietly — slowly.

Her face was no longer as pale as before… a bit of warmth had returned.

There was only one person in the room—

Hao.

He was sitting on the chair.

Back straight. His eyes were a little red, but he continued to look only at Wei.

"Is she really… not Wei?" hao thinking.

" did I hear something wrong! "

Suddenly—

Wei's eyelashes fluttered a little. Slowly— very slowly— her eyes opened.

The sunlight coming from the window reflected beautifully in her blue eyes.

The first thing she saw was the morning sky.

Then the window.

Then— leaning slightly— she saw Hao sitting beside her.

Hao's breath stopped.

"Wei…?"

His voice sounded tired, but there was relief in it.

Wei stayed silent for a few seconds…

Then she tried to sit up.

Hao quickly stood, supporting her gently.

"…Is it morning already?" she whispered softly.

"Yes… it's morning. But you were asleep for three days." He laughed a little while saying it…

and tears filled his eyes at the same time.

Wei said quietly, "Really…"

She looked at him, and asked—

"You wanted to talk to me, right?"

The room was very quiet.

But the air around them had completely changed.

"You… you are not Wei, right?"

Hao's voice was soft.

He could feel it— the girl who returned… was not the same Wei.

Riya looked at Hao without avoiding his gaze.

"Yes… I'm sorry. I'm not your sister."

Her voice carried a gentle sadness.

"Did you… meet Wei?" Hao asked.

Riya told him everything.

Her past life. Her death. Meeting Wei's soul.

Every single detail.

Hao listened carefully. Not interrupting even once.

After finishing, Riya said,

"I'll leave this place… You don't need to worry about me. I'm used to being alone anyway."

"No… you're not going anywhere." Hao's response was firm.

Riya looked at him, surprised. She had expected anger. Rejection. For him to tell her to leave.

But instead—

Hao's eyes softened.

Wei may have died…

but for him— she was still his sister.

He stood up.

"I'll call Mother and Father—"

Riya gently held his hand, stopping him.

"Not yet."

Her voice was calm, but deep.

Hao froze.

He understood immediately.

Wei had more to say.

"Are you going to tell them the truth too?" she asked.

"No.—

From today, from this moment— you are my sister Wei. Your past life does not matter anymore. Remember that."

Hao said firmly.

He smiled a little.

"I think you can walk now. Take a bath and come outside. Mom and Dad made your favorite food."

He paused.

"Well… Wei's favorite."

And he left the room.

Riya was now alone. This world was unfamiliar. Even the clothes felt strange.

"…Did I end up in an anime?" she muttered to herself.

Because she had only seen characters like this in anime.

> "You may call it a magical world."

The warm man's voice returned.

"Who are you?" she asked.

> "I am one of your system's support skills. You can give me a name."

"The system… the magic world… I don't understand any of this." Riya rubbed her forehead.

> "Say it.

'Status Window Open.'"

"…Status Window Open," she repeated.

A black screen appeared in front of her eyes.

Riya stared at the window.

She felt happiness… and fear.

Can she really live as Wei now?

> "Will you give me a name?" the voice asked again.

Wei think..

"…Ares." she whispered.

Riya smiled softly.

"It really feels like a dream…"

> "This is not a dream."

"…From today onward, I am not Riya.

I am Wang Wei." she declared.

She remembered Hao telling her to bathe and come out.

She stood, went to the bathroom, washed, and when she looked in the mirror—

She froze.

White shining hair.

Bright blue eyes.

"…Is this really me?"

She looked beautiful— breathtaking.

She couldn't believe someone like this could be bullied.

She dressed and stepped outside.

Mei (her mother) was treating someone.

Hao sat nearby.

Hao gestured toward the sofa.

"Sit. You're still recovering."

Wei sat down.

Soon, the treatment ended.

Mei turned and smiled warmly at Wei.

The three of them ate together.

"Liang is at the university," Mei said.

"And your father, Jun, is away for work. So today, it's just us."

"Do you want to start university next month?" she asked gently.

"…Okay." Wei smiled softly.

"Don't worry… I'm here."

Hao's voice echoed in her mind— without him speaking.

" Before you go to university, you have to go monster hunting with me. Remember that."

Now, Wei understood how he recognized her so easily.

"Alright… I'll go."

She replied in her thoughts.

After eating, Hao took Wei for a short walk outside the palace.

Then they returned.
