After her rebirth, Rita vows not to repeat her past mistakes. This time, her first priority is to stop her brother, who is about to marry into the Lopez family, from participating in the initial game beta test. In her previous life, she was deceived by this scheming brother until her dying breath. It was only at the end that she realized she was merely a villain in a male-oriented novel about a live-in son-in-law, with all the malice and manipulation orchestrated by him behind the scenes.

In this life, Rita decides to change the rules of the game. She will stay in the shadows and seize all the opportunities meant for the male and female leads. By participating in the beta test and re-selecting her abilities, she systematically dismantles the protagonists’ advantages, all while making them believe she’s on their side.

Rita has no intention of harming innocent people, nor is she a selfless saint. In this game, she works with the authorities for mutual benefit, all to achieve her ultimate goal—becoming the true master of her fate.

This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist

After placing the 2 silver coins on the table, Rita chose to set up her own tent for the night. With her vast experience camping in the wild (or, more accurately, in dangerous situations), she had a backpack filled with all kinds of well-equipped outdoor gear. She set up a small stove, lit the coals, and prepared a pot of stamina-replenishing steak noodles to refresh herself and banish her fatigue.

The air around the other tents was also filled with the aroma of food. Smart players all made an effort to learn some cooking skills. Not only did this help sustain them during monster hunts, but it also provided a profitable side job for those who didn't know how to cook.

Not every beta tester had enough money to learn how to cook, and in the future, those who could cook would have a lucrative market selling food to players who couldn't.
