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

Her only chance at survival was to leave—and not just leave, but take the initiative.

She remembered every beginner's tip clearly. The last one stated: "The Game of Gods balances fun with fairness." She didn't believe the game would weaken stronger players. If the rewards obtained through effort and risk couldn't be converted into strength, all the hardships players endured would lose their meaning.

However, the game also had to account for fairness when experienced players encountered rookies entering for the first time. Otherwise, the game would become monotonous, with early players eternally reigning at the top and newcomers relegated to the bottom.

The gods would never allow such a dull scenario.

After leaving the hut, Rita saw many Blue Team players. However, they all seemed to have heard about Frenzied Shark being on the Red Team. Not a single one approached to escort her.
