- Chapter 1
- Amanda Corkery desperately sent a message: [Maddy, can you wish me a happy birthday? Please, or I’ll die soon.]
- Maddox Corkery replied: [Go ahead then.]
- As Maddox wished, Amanda really did die. But the next moment, she was alive again, back in the hour before her death.
- Staring at the little cake on the table, Amanda clenched her fists so tightly that they creaked. The pains still lingered all over her body, and she gritted her teeth and hissed, “So, you’re saying you brought me back to life?”
- There was no one around, but in her mind, she heard a small, childish voice full of pride. “That’s right, Host. I worked really hard to bring you back. Now, you gotta put in the effort too.
- “You need to make your father and brothers say ‘Happy Birthday to you, and then you’ll live on without any more pain. I’ll level up to a high–tier elf, and we’ll both be good to go.”
- The elf sounded all pumped up, but Amanda sneered, “Level up to bring me more misery, huh?”
- She thought, I finally died, and now you want me to go through all that pain again? This elf was probably created by the Corkery family just to torment me
- When Amanda was seven, she found something while digging through trash. It claimed to be an elf and told her that she was actually the daughter of the Corkery family, the richest in Silvermoor. She was swapped at birth due to a nurse’s mistake.
- The elf told her that when she turned fifteen, she’d face a death trial, and all she needed was a genuine ‘Happy Birthday‘ from either her parents or one of her brothers to keep living.
- Amanda thought it was an easy task. Since she had five brothers, getting the blessing from only one of them wouldn’t be difficult to realize, but things weren’t so simple.
- Amanda soon discovered that there was already Elise Corkery in the picture, the one who took her place and was immersed in the love of the whole family like a princess.
- As for Amanda, when she came back home, her family’s shock and disdain were obvious.
- Her fifth brother, Maddox, shoved her down without a second thought and snapped, “Get lost. I don’t want a beggar to be our
- sister
- No one else spoke, but obviously, the disdain in their eyes was clear.
- But to survive. Amanda still tried to win their favor.
- However, every time her birthday rolled around, Elise would “feel sick, and the whole family’s focus was on her. Amanda never heard a single “Happy Birthday” until she turned fifteen.
- This year, on her 15th birthday, Maddox finally agreed to celebrate her birthday with her, but then Elise fell and hurt herself, and Maddox spent the day with Elise at the hospital.
- Amanda begged Maddox for the tiniest kindness, but all she got was that cruel response.
- As expected, her mission failed, and Amanda died painfully. The elf then tossed her into another world to do labor work.
- After struggling, Amanda finally earned enough points to retire, but just when she thought she was done, the damn elf pulled
- her back…
- Amanda cursed in her mind. That elf’s probably a spy sent by the Corkery family to mess with me!
- Sensing her resentment, the elf paused for a few seconds to recall things over the years and then said in a low tone, “Host, if you fail again, you’ll die once more.”
- Amanda sneered, “It’s not like I haven’t died before. Bring it on.”
- The elf stuttered for a moment and then hurriedly added, “They’ve been hoping for your death. Do you really want to give
- them that satisfaction?”
- Amanda’s eyes narrowed. The rebellious fire inside her flared up. She thought bitterly. “They want me dead? Well, they can all

- go to hell:
- She shot up from her seat, glanced around, grabbed a baseball bat from the ground under the elf’s confused look, and headed straight for the hospital.
- At the hospital. Maddox, after sending the message, had a look of impatience on his face.
- He thought, ‘Amanda says this every year, and she never really died. She pulls this stunt every time; how annoying
- Lying on the hospital bed. Elise asked curiously. “Maddy, what’s wrong?”
- Maddox wiped the mockery off his face and put on a gentle expression. “Nothing. Amanda just wants me to wish her a happy birthday.”
- Elise immediately showed a surprised expression and urged him, “You should go back and celebrate Manda’s birthday with her. I’m fine here by myself.”
- She then tried to get up, but Maddox quickly stopped her. “Don’t move around. It’s your birthday too, and we surely have to stay with you
- He thought about Amanda’s words and added carelessly, “She’s just trying to get our attention. Just ignore her.”
- Just as he finished, the door slammed open with a loud bang.
- Maddox furrowed his brows and turned to look. When he saw who it was, his disgust only grew. He snapped, “What are you doing here?”
- Amanda glanced at the massive fifteen–layer cake on the table, then at her tiny mini–cake, and her anger flared.
- Under Maddox’s glare, she marched forward, slammed her hand on the edge of the table, and flipped it over. The cake crashed to the floor, scattering everywhere.
- “Are you crazy!” Maddox jumped up, ready to hit Amanda.
- But Amanda was faster. She jabbed the baseball bat straight into his stomach.
- Maddox gasped in pain and didn’t have time to say anything before Amanda’s bat came down on him again.
- He yelped. running around the room in agony. “Amanda, are you nuts? I’m gonna KILL you.”
- “Manda, stop. Do you even know what you’re doing?” Elise shouted in panic.
- Amanda shot Elise a look and said, “And you. Heard you broke your leg, huh? Let me fix it for you.”
- Without waiting. Amanda raised the bat and slammed it onto Elise’s leg in a plaster cast.
- Elise’s pupils shrank, and she jumped out of bed in fear.
- When Elise came to her senses, she saw Amanda with the bat over her shoulder, looking like a gangster. Amanda grinned at her with a mix of mockery and amusement. “Look, you’re healed now.”
- Elise’s face turned beet red, and Maddox stared at her in shock.
- Ignoring them both, Amanda sat down in a chair, unwrapped her mini cake, lit the candles, and crossed her legs. “Say happy birthday to me.”
- “What?” Maddox said, bewildered.
- Amanda jabbed the bat into his stomach with a hard poke and repeated, ‘I said, say happy birthday to me.”
- She sat there sprawled out like some kind of
- thug.
- Maddox gritted his teeth and retorted, “You’re dreaming.”
- He’d rather die than say those words to Amanda.
- Amanda’s face went blank as she swung the bat again to hit Maddox.
- Chapter 1
- Maddox clenched his jaw and shot back, “Even if you beat me to death, I won’t say it.”
- Amanda paused and tilted her head to look at him. “How do you know I’m gonna kill you?”
- Amanda figured she was dead anyway, and she wouldn’t be going to jail, so she might as well hit him while she could.
- Seeing the look in her eyes, Maddox suddenly realized she was serious. He felt a chill of fear, and he thought Amanda had lost
- her mind.
- As the bat came down again, Maddox shut his eyes and shouted, “Happy birthday, okay? Happy birthday!”
- If he still refused to say it, he knew Amanda would really kill him.
- The moment the words left his mouth, the clock hit midnight.
- With a beep, a voice rang in Amanda’s head. “You’ve received a blessing. Your reward is: 24 more hours of life.”
- Amanda asked with a frown, “Wasn’t I supposed to keep living?”
- The elf responded, “Maddox was forced to say it, so it doesn’t count as completing the task. You only get 24 hours.” Knowing the reason, Amanda glared at Maddox with a disgusted face and said, “What an idiot.”
- Chapter 2
- Chapter 2
- Amanda thought to herself, ‘He’s totally good for nothing. I can make more money selling recyclables than this. The only good thing is I won’t have to die in pain again or go back to working those crappy jobs.
- Mission accomplished, Amanda tucked the bat away and strutted off, holding her tiny cake,
- After she left, Elise stumbled out of bed and rushed to help Maddox up, her face full of concern. “Maddy, are you okay? I’m so sorry. I didn’t protect you.”
- With that, her tears fell down, and her face twisted in guilt.
- Seeing this, Maddox immediately felt sorry for her, but then he remembered her leg and asked, “Ellie, your leg…
- Elise bit her lip, looking pale, and suddenly collapsed back onto the bed. She showed signs of pain and said, “When Manda swung the bat at me, I was so scared, so I just kept pushing through.”
- Maddox’s anger flared up as he realized what had happened, and he shouted, “It’s all Amanda’s fault.”
- Hearing this. Elise sighed in relief and tried to comfort him. Today’s Manda’s birthday too. We should’ve invited her. It’s our bad.”
- As soon as Maddox heard those words, his expression immediately turned cold, and his eyes were filled with indifference. “It’s never gonna happen. She’s been acting like this even though you’re hurt. She is indeed heartless.”
- Elise didn’t argue but just stared at the ruined cake on the floor with a sad look. “Derry made the cake for me, and now it’s destroyed.”
- At the mention of Derry, Maddox’s eyes lit up with malicious delight. “When Derry finds out, Amanda’s dead meat”
- Maddox knew the cake was a special gift from their second brother, Derick. Since Amanda ruined it, Derick would never let her off easy.
- Meanwhile, Amanda was sitting on a bench in the park, happily munching on a burger, fried chicken, and a soda she had bought with the last of her money. The amount of food was enough to feed three people.
- The elf watched Amanda eating and couldn’t help but swallow. Then, the elf asked nervously, “Host, you hit Maddox and Elise. The Corkery family is definitely gonna retaliate against you. You should get out of here while you still can.”
- Maddox wasn’t the main issue, but Elise was their precious princess,
- With a drumstick in one hand and a soda in the other, Amanda’s checks puffed out as she chewed. She casually propped her legs up on the armrests and swayed contentedly.
- Hearing the elf, she wayed her hand dismissively and pointed at the bat she set beside her. “Run? I’ve only got one day left to live. If they come to me, that’s perfect. It saves me the trouble of hunting them down. I’ll give them all a good thrashing, and I’ll die without regret.”
- She kept chomping on the chicken, completely carefree. “The ones who should be running are them, not me.”
- The elf thought she’d lost her mind. “So what’s your plan now?”
- Amanda thought for a moment, tapped her chin, and replied, “I’m planning to get an ice cream later.”
- Imagining the taste, she couldn’t help but swallow hard. In the years she’d spent working in other worlds, she’d never even seen ice creams, let alone tasted any. She’d almost forgotten what ice cream tasted like.
- The elf sighed, “I mean you’ve got just 23 hours, 29 minutes, and 18 seconds left. Are you really not gonna try to extend your life?”
- Amanda shook her head and said without hesitation, “Nah, I’d rather die early and reincarnate. I’m already a goner now, so I’d rather start fresh.
- The elf replied, “But if you fail the mission again, you won’t get another chance to reincarnate. No matter how much you work, you’ll be punished every day for a
- year.”
- When Amanda heard this, she froze, and the drumstick in her hand almost dropped. She quickly snatched it up and took a big
