The more I ate, the richer my dad became. The uglier I grew, the prettier my mom got. The lower my IQ, the smarter my sister became. By the time I was thirteen, I was 250 pounds and hideous. Meanwhile, Dad was the richest man in the city, Mom was a famous actress, and my sister was the top scorer on SAT. Eventually, I was exposed to the public, bullied online and off, and branded the family disgrace. Then one day, at my sister's suggestion, my parents dumped me in the countryside. Everything changed. Every swing of my hoe cost Dad a business deal. Every drop of sweat aged Mom a year. Every word I learned tanked my sister's grades. And when I finally came back—slim, gorgeous, and a top scorer myself—my parents and sister realized I'd been bound to a system all along. They begged me to sacrifice myself again. I smiled and said, "You only get to bind with the system once in your life. I can't help you—but the three of you can still bind to it. So… who's it gonna be?" They exchanged looks, their eyes gleaming with greed.
