Chapter 1

When the apocalypse descended, my sister and I activated our latent powers.

Lily, without hesitation, chose the flashy and powerful lightning ability. However, unable to endure hardship, she ultimately wasted her talent and barely survived in the base.

I, on the other hand, relied on my seemingly useless healing ability to amass vast resources and became sought after by various base leaders.

Out of kindness, I saved Lily, but she, consumed by jealousy, led me into a horde of zombies.

Given a second chance, this time she snatched the healing ability first.

"Now it's my turn to coast through life and have everything. Emma, it's your turn to suffer," she smirked.

Looking at the dazzling lightning ability now in my possession, I couldn't help but smile. This was the power I had desperately wished for in my previous life.

I awoke from darkness and searing heat.

Lily's eyes sparkled with excitement as she grinned, "Sister dear, now it's my turn to relax and enjoy the good life."

Seeing the soft green glow in her hands, I finally snapped out of my daze and looked down at the weak electrical currents flickering in my own palms.

Both Lily and I had been reborn.

In our previous life, Lily had claimed she was too fragile and needed a powerful ability to protect herself.

I had compromised and let her choose the lightning ability first.

Little did I know she would refuse to fight zombies, unable to endure hardship, and ultimately waste her powerful gift. In the end, she could only perform simple tasks within the base, barely clinging to life.

I, however, chose the seemingly useless healing ability, only to become a prized guest of various base leaders.

During one encounter, I saved Lily from the brink of death at the hands of zombies.

At that time, the down-on-her-luck Lily could only look up at me, protected by others.

Blinded by jealousy, she chose to lead me into a horde of zombies, intending for us to perish together.

Given this second chance, Lily rushed to claim the healing ability.

Before I could react, chaos erupted around us.

When the apocalypse first broke out, Lily and I had fortunately escaped to a large supermarket, where we successfully activated our abilities.

Resources were plentiful, but people's hearts were restless.

"From now on, everyone must go out and kill zombies. Otherwise, you'll be permanently expelled from the supermarket," announced a young man with fair skin and a gentle voice, yet carrying an undeniable air of authority.

His name was James, a man of both charisma and capability who had swiftly taken control of the supermarket and established strict rules.

"Why should we?!" "This isn't your property, you have no right to kick us out!" voices of dissent rose from the crowd.

James smiled, his eyes crinkling, "Because of this." He raised his hand, and a loud bang echoed through the air.

Everyone froze, suddenly silent.

Under the pressure of absolute superiority in combat, people slowly made their way out of the supermarket.

Lily approached James delicately, speaking in a soft voice, "I've developed healing abilities. I can support your team."

James raised an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming, "Very well, you can join us."

After speaking, he shifted his gaze to me, standing silently to the side.

Noticing this, Lily pointed at me with her dainty hand, "That's my sister. She's excellent at killing zombies. You should definitely put her on the front lines."

She looked at me, her eyes full of schadenfreude.

I, however, responded with a radiant smile.

What Lily didn't know was that in my previous life, I had envied her.

I had dreamed of possessing the lightning ability.

Instead of relying on healing powers to become someone else's caged bird.
