Chapter 1: Stuck
"Stepbrother, I'm stuck."
Yes. I was just as shocked as you are right now. Because, first things first, how?
How does anyone get stuck in the washing machine? That thing's spacious enough to fit a full grown adult comfortably.
And second? Why in the heavenly hells will she say it like that?
"What the fuck are you staring at?! I know you're staring!" Her irritated voice came from within the machine, her lower body stuck outside. She wriggled, trying to pull herself out.
Out of nature and things beyond my control, my eyes roamed over her legs and those- ahem. Those yoga pants. Yes. That was what I was about to say.
"Get me out of here!" She snapped, still trying to wriggle out.
I took a step forward and that's when things took a turn for the worse.
[Ding! Stamp Holder Detected!]
My eyes widened in horror. "Fuck, no." I whispered underneath my breath. "Fucking No!"
Unfortunately, I had no say in the matter.

Now, I know what you're wondering. Why such a reaction to a system message? How did I get here when six months ago I didn't even have one stepsister and now I have seven?
Simple.
This is not my first life.
Okay, let me start from the beginning.
This all began in another world where I was rushing to the bus stop, already late for work. Yes, I could've driven to work like my peers but there's just a teeny tiny problem. I didn't have a car.
Let me tell you, I have never felt so embarrassed in my life.
It's very hilarious and extremely ridiculous when one thinks about it. Die by a truck and get reincarnated, only to immediately drown in a bathtub.
I sighed, shaking my head.
Though the situation is embarrassing, I felt relieved that I was safe and in no mortal danger.
It was now that I was now able to think straight. I looked around in confusion, wondering how I got here and why I was sitting fully clothed in a bathtub.
The last thing I remembered was-
I yelled in pain as the memories began flooding my brain. It was as if someone had hit my head with a baseball bat. After a few seconds, the pain disappeared and the memories settled as if they had been there all along.
I blinked, rubbing my eyes as I sorted out what was happening. I had died and gone to heaven but that's a story for later.
The important thing here was that I had been given a second chance at life. I had been reincarnated as someone else but unlike regular reincarnations, mine comes with a time limit.
Right now, my name is Nico Voss and I'm the illegitimate and only son of billionaire, Logan Voss.
I'm also the forgotten child due to my birth status, hidden away by my father. I also have seven step sisters who were much closer to him than I was. My whole life had been spent, trying not to attract his attention in any way.
I felt dizzy and my head spun for a moment. I was Nico Voss and at the same time, I was Nico from earth.
Nico Voss had been so depressed with his situation in life and from being deprived of meaningful human contact and had taken his own life in the bathtub.
And now as Nico Voss, all I had was five years to inherit everything that belonged to Logan Voss or my new life would be taken away from me.
Shit.
That was when salvation came in the form of a blue screen appearing in front of me.
