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

As Rita soaked the last batch of materials in ice water, her thoughts gradually fell into place. Finding an Oak Owl with an S-grade Divine Gift wasn't going to be easy, especially not here. Most of the foreign races on Blue Star were cannon fodder, spawned from giant sea creatures, and true S-grades wouldn't show up in the early stages just to play disposable pawns. She'd have to go to Lania Kaia for that…

Just as she was lost in thought, another message arrived. Assuming it was from Shadow.Q, she opened it immediately, only to see that it was from Rick.

[Rick]: Can you revive Zoey one more time?

Rita sat cross-legged on the grass in her backyard, propping her chin in one hand as she stared at the message. Her eyes lingered on the word "Zoey" for a long moment, lost in thought.
