They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 105: Pity vs Compassion Chapter 105: Pity vs Compassion The words struck deep, settling into her chest like an unshakable truth.

“My Master shows compassion,” the system continued, its voice almost reverent.

“That’s why, when He helped you, He didn’t just give you something temporary.

He didn’t just save you for a moment, He sought to cleanse you from the inside out.

That’s why He makes you do good deeds.

At first, you did them only to earn good points, just to stay alive and get your revenge.

But now…” Nnenna’s breath hitched.

“Now, you’re doing them partly because you want to help others,” the system said softly.

“That’s compassion.

It’s cleansing you from the inside, shaping you, making sure that even if you’re ever left alone again… you won’t be helpless.” “If He had just given you a second chance without any conditions,” the Love System continued, “you would have gone on a rampage of revenge by now.” Nnenna stiffened.

“But you know that if you do that, you won’t have enough time to rank up good points.

You might even lose some.

So you’ve been obedient, not because you don’t want revenge, but because you can’t afford it right now.” The words stung because they were true.

“Do you really think we don’t know that you still seek revenge?” The system’s voice was gentle, but firm.

“We know.

But you haven’t had time to dwell on it.

You’ve been too busy, too focused on everything else, on surviving, on catching up, on doing good.” Nnenna shrank slightly, biting her lip.

She had hoped that if she avoided the topic long enough, the Love System would just… forget about it.
