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

[Shadow.Q]: Don't worry, I'm fine. Although, there were a couple of idiots who suggested I donate the Obsidian Wings to the Research Department for study. But most of the group still has brains. I suspect there will be a few more expeditions into High Tower soon.

[Rita]: They think that's a good idea? Using High Tower to train troops?

Rita wasn't too surprised. That was likely the approach all 11 Alien Factions were taking. However, they were cautious. The 11 Factions were both greedy for High Tower's secrets and wary of its dangers. They wanted to unlock its mysteries, copy its abilities, and reap its benefits—without sacrificing too much of their own elites. They feared losing valuable personnel with no return.
