Chapter 1

I was born with a curse: a ten-fold pain-empathy link with my twin sister, Roxy. Any injury she got, the pain would hit my body ten times worse.

Growing up, Roxy became a notorious rebel in our neighborhood. Getting into street fights and skipping school was just a Tuesday for her.

She didn't care. She knew that she wouldn't feel a thing. I was the one who would scream in agony, not her.

Our parents completely ignored this. Instead, they blamed me for being "too weak," saying my constant whining held Roxy back from reaching her full potential.

To force me to give up my Ivy League early admission spot to her, Roxy took a utility knife and slowly sliced her own arm right in front of me.

As I collapsed onto the floor, twitching and foaming at the mouth from the unbearable agony, my family just stood there, watching coldly.

My dad even flicked his cigarette and said, "Stop faking it. Sign the waiver already."

Later, Roxy decided to stage an accident with a speeding luxury car to extort some quick cash.

When the massive impact hit her, my heart instantly stopped.

But the moment I drew my last breath, my sister—the girl who was incapable of feeling pain—suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream.
