My Sister Stole My System after Rebirth and It Killed Her

I picked up a system with my sister.

The system said only one of us could bind to it, and the other could take twenty million dollars.

My sister shoved me aside and chose the money.

Ten years later, she squandered everything and ended up homeless.

Relying on the luck the system gave me, I excelled in my studies, climbed the career ladder, and reached the peak of my life.

Driven by jealousy, my sister stabbed me to death at my birthday party.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day we found the system.

This time, she said without hesitation, “Luck is too intangible. I’ll take the loss. You can have the fortune.”

I knew she had been reborn, too.

What she didn’t know was that the luck granted by the system always came at the cost of one’s lifespan.

When my sister insisted on binding herself to the system and leaving the twenty million fortune to me, I knew she had been reborn too.

In my previous life, just to snatch that money, she shoved me to the ground while my leg injury hadn’t even healed.

I broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but her eyes gleamed with excitement as she smiled.

“Jana, the system says it can bring good luck.

“You’ve always had terrible luck. Even a simple aerial routine ended with the harness snapping! I’ve always been lucky, so I won’t fight you for something like this. I’ll let you have it.”

How ridiculous that I had been so grateful back then.

Only later did I find out she had tampered with the rigging on purpose.

Because she was my understudy, and she wanted to take the bigger stage for herself.

After getting that twenty million, my sister squandered it recklessly. She even gave up the ballet she had trained in for over a decade, spending her days partying outside.

Whether it was cars or houses, she wanted only the best. She kept young lovers on the side, and in the end, she fell for an investment scam, lost everything, and ended up on the streets.

She even had to dig through trash just to find something to eat.

Meanwhile, with the luck granted by the system, I excelled in my studies, earned promotions and raises, and reached the peak of my life.

She was consumed with jealousy.

When she stabbed me to death, she was still shouting, “If I hadn’t generously given you the system, how could you have lived so well?

“You wouldn’t even lend me twenty thousand dollars! You’re too heartless!

“If that’s the case, we might as well die together!”

The system’s voice pulled my thoughts back to this life.

“Jana Lee, Yuna Lee says she chooses the system. Are you fine with that choice?”

My sister clung to my arm, wearing that sickeningly sweet expression of sisterly affection.

“Jana, luck is such an uncertain thing. I’ll take the loss, just keep the fortune.”

“Sure.”

I nodded lightly, my face calm, though a cold smile rose inside me.

She looked as delighted as if she had picked up a treasure, not knowing that the system’s luck was never given for free.

It had to be exchanged with one’s lifespan.

The twenty million was transferred into my account immediately.

I split the money into four parts. One portion went into a fixed-term deposit, earning substantial interest each year.

One portion was donated to a children’s home, another was used to purchase long-term assets, and a small remainder was kept in a checking account for flexible use.

Of course, I didn’t start living a life of reckless luxury like Yuna had.

On the contrary, my life stayed exactly the same as before, without any noticeable change.

What I didn’t expect was that even though I kept a low profile, Yuna exposed my wealth for me.

That day, when I returned home after class, my family was already seated around the dining table, backs straight, waiting.
