Finishing her breakfast, Sarina rushed back to her room and excitedly settled down on her bed. Recalling the mechanical voice she had heard earlier but ignored unhesitatingly to meet her family, Sarina looked around up in the air, calling out the same voice.
"System…system, are you there?" Sarina said out aloud to no one in particular. Being a novel addict in her previous life, Sarina was obviously well aware of what a system was and its advantages as well. She really wondered if this was her golden finger after being reborn.
Recalling how those protagonists with the help of a powerful system used to become the richest person or most powerful cultivator in the world, Sarina couldn't wait to find out what type of system she had gotten. Thankfully the voice didn't make her wait long before it once again rang in her mind as a hologram appeared in front of her eyes.
[Stop shouting out loud like this host. The people in this world might actually consider you stupid. You can communicate with me in your brain.]
The voice said with a sigh, as if preparing itself to deal with a child far beneath its level.
Sarina obviously also heard the disdain in the tone of the voice and could clearly detect the judgmental questioning towards her intelligence, but simply didn't take it to heart. To her, getting such a pleasant surprise like this upon getting reborn was already more than enough.
"Introduce yourself system." Sarina said in her mind. Just because she ignored the disdain of the system towards herself didn't mean she would actually continue to allow it. Thankfully the system also didn't mind it much.
[Ding! Binding complete.
Welcome host. This is the "True Heiress System". The system is here to help you become the best and the most perfect heiress to ever exist in the entire universe.
I am your guardian and the spirit of the system. You can call me Sister Angel.]
The voice or to say Angel introduced herself.
Listening to Angel's introduction, Sarina was a little taken aback. She initially had a lot of eagerness to find out what kind of system she had gotten but as soon as she heard the name, it was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her, washing away all her excitement.
To her, the word heiress was nothing but shackles that once bound her to those people who destroyed her life. Now, hearing that the purpose of the system she got was to once again make her something she hated from the bottom of her heart, Sarina really wasn't sure on how to react anymore.
Angel, as if sensing Sarina's thoughts and emotions continued to explain her purpose further in detail.
[During the host's last moment of death in your previous life, you only had two unfulfilled desires; revenge and to become the perfect heiress. Respecting the host's desires, the system will assist the host to become the most beautiful, graceful and the powerful heiress who will soon shake the entire world but also help the host in taking her revenge on the people who once hurt her.]
Hearing Angel's word, Sarina also sighed and accepted the reality. To a great extent, she could also accept that whatever Angel said was actually true. Recalling how once that entire family and that high society always pointed at her, she really did have this desire to be the perfect heiress, not for her biological parents or their prestige but simply for herself.
"So how exactly are you going to assist me? Judging by your tone, it seems that I will probably be doing a lot of work for this, aren't I?" Sarina said, sighing as she realized how busy yet entertaining her life was going to be. Unlike those leads in the novel who got everything with just one click, she on the other hand had to work hard to get what she wanted.
[That is for sure host. Also, stop comparing me to those lousy systems in your novels.
They simply can't compare to me.
I am one of the most powerful systems to exist in the entire multiverse.
You should consider yourself lucky that you got bound to me.]
Angel haughtily said as if feeling offended to be compared to something like that. Sarina also realized her mistake and mumbled a small sorry before letting Angel explain her functions in detail.
[The system will give the host daily, weekly, monthly and yearly tasks that host has to complete in the given timeframe.
The host will be rewarded upon the completion of each task, depending on the difficulty level of it.
The rewards can be anything including money, skills or anything else depending on which level of the system you are on.
The host can check on the regular updates on the system panel.] Angel explained in detail.
"Open the system panel." Understanding everything in detail, Sarina calmly said.

Inventory: A newbie packet]
Looking at her average or below average stats, Sarina sighed. Although she knew that she wasn't that overtopping beauty or any kind of genius, but they had never bothered her until today.
She wasn't much shocked about the skills section though. The Montclair Family after all, was a very rich and powerful family with multiple businesses under its domain. As the head of the family for more than 10 years, she obviously had some skills.
'I seems that I have to work hard on my fitness' Sarina mused while looking at her weight. She wasn't really that fat, just a little chubbier for her age.
Gazing at the newbie packet in the inventory, Sarina could hardly control her excitement. She really wanted to know what surprises the system had prepared for her.
"Angel, open the newbie packet." Sarina eagerly exclaimed.
[Ding! Opening the newbie packet.
Congratulations host on getting photographic memory, a brain enhancement potion, 200$ and a pocket dimension
All the items are placed in the inventory.
The host can redeem them anytime.] Angel exclaimed.
Sarina could hardly control herself anymore and let out loud squeal in happiness. She really felt blessed at the moment. Not only did she get a chance to get reborn in the past but she also got such an amazing golden finger as well.
"Retrieve the brain enhancement potion and photographic memory." Sarina said impatiently.
As soon as Sarina finished speaking, a plain small bottle filled with blue liquid appeared in front of her on the bed. Picking up the bottle carefully, Sarina closely examined it. Trusting the system, she removed the cap and quickly drank it in one gulp.
Sarina was actually expecting the potion to taste weird but not only did it not taste weird, it in fact had a touch of sweetness in it, making Sarina who had a sweet tooth enjoy it a lot. Though the enjoyment didn't last long before a sharp pain shot through her brain making her shout in agony.
Clutching her head tightly, Sarina closed her eyes in pain; a frown settled on her face as she bit her lip, trying to stop herself from cursing out loud. Sarina didn't even realize how much time had passed before finally the pain went away as she laid back on the bed; breathing hard to calm herself down.
"What the hell just happened!? You could have given me a warning Angel." Sarina said in anger and frustration.
[Host don't blame me for this.
I wanted to inform you but were so excited that you drank it immediately before I could say anything.] Angel said; clearly shrugging off the responsibility from her shoulders and pushing it towards Sarina.
"Ok fine. It was my fault." Sarina sighingly said. It wasn't like she could actually fight the system over this, right?
[Ding!

Gazing intensely at the tasks assigned by the system, Sarina sighed. She could already feel a dreading exhaustion in her bones as she predicted her upcoming strict lifestyle. Thankfully the system was giving rewards for each task, ultimately motivating her to keep on going.
Besides, she still had to take her revenge. To fight against her enemies, she needed to build her own power from the very scratch and the system's rewards were the quickest way to achieve that.
"Oh well! It seems like I should start with the daily tasks first. After all, exercising daily for two hours is definitely going to be tough for my current body." Sarina mumbled while quickly dressing up in an outfit suitable for a run.
Tying the laces of her running shoes, Sarina left the house.
