The sight before her was as vivid as day and she could not help but laugh softly at this miracle. The mountain of items she had secretly collected over the years looked exactly as she had last seen it. That deity had done something worthy of her praise after all.

"Thank you old deity." She brought her hands together in a prayer formation and said.

"You are welcome, and stop calling me old." The deity's voice rung in her mind.

"And stop eavesdropping on my thoughts." She complained.

When she heard no response, she accessed her space, and found a pair of dusty but new brown boots. She also got herself a pair of jeans and an oversized t. shirt. Since she had been made aware that she had zero mental strength hence no protection against anyone that could attack her mind, she went old school and hid an ordinary pistol and a dagger from earth in her waistband.You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

Riana had been gone for a while now and she probably had no plans to return with that water any time soon. She was angry but she had bottles of fresh water stacked up in her space. She took one, ripped the label off in case anybody wanted to observe it too closely and then she left the room.

On this planet, her father had spent ninety percent of his savings on fixing up this old large house. It was slanted in some areas, the floor tiles were brown. Ether they were dirty or the lowest quality tiles in existence. There were no decorations, the lights were flickering on and off and all the utensils she saw were old or broken.

"Scarlet Su, you really screwed up life for your family." She said softly to herself.

As she observed the house further, her heart grew heavier. Her mind recalled the beautiful buildings she had seen in the capital and she sighed.

At least she had her space; she could use the materials in there to spruce up the place a little bit at a time.

Her stomach growled, reminding her that she needed to eat and she took some beef jerky from her space and munched on it as she walked.

Scarlet smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, I will go and find him."

As she walking away Mega whispered to herself, "Did she just thank me and smile? Is she planning something nefarious? I have to warn the others." She used the terminal on her hand to call her oldest son and warn him.

Scarlet on the other hand was grateful to be out of the house and away from Mega. Even though she had occupied the body of the original Scarlet and had her memories, she did not automatically inherit the familial love and closeness.

Maybe it was because the original Scarlet looked down on her family and she had no love for them. To her, they were like logs weighing her down and preventing her from achieving success. Scarlet believed she should have been born a princess in the royal family. If not, then maybe to a duke or a viscount. Higher nobility to her was the only nobility that mattered; her father a baron was nothing special. No matter what her family did to aid or pleases her, she was unappreciative and condescending towards them. No wonder they gave up on her!

As the new Scarlet, she could not help but judge the old one. "She really was a terrible person."

Although she had much damage to do, the warm feeling of the sun hitting her face and the fresh air drew a smile from her. Greedily, her nostrils sucked the oxygen in as if it would escape from her anytime soon.

She got a juice box from her space, the kind of juice box which used to be popular among children before the world went to shit. With passion, she sucked juice from the box through a straw without caring about anybody seeing her.

This was her planet; she could do whatever she wanted. The royal family had claimed that it was a wedding gift to her and her husband to cover up for the fact that they had banished her. She did however have to pay taxes to the empire just like every other planet in the empire.

The Sun star empire controlled nine planets and this blue star planet was one of the nine. The Central planet where the royal family lived was the capital city of the empire.

The blue star was a garbage dump for the excess garbage of other planets. The occupants were few and poor. It had a population of about two hundred thousand people and half of them worked in garbage recycling.

Scarlet had one question in mind, how was she supposed to pay taxes like this?
