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

Rita quickly put the second treasure chest in her inventory. She could already see the Wind Scythe text on the World Graveyard·East Wind:

World Graveyard·East Wind: When entering the world battlefield, you and your pet will unlock one skill each.

This was amazing! It was far more useful than the 9-Bamboo which only worked with teammates of the same faction.

At that moment, Nivalis sneaked over, shrinking down to perch on Rita's shoulder, holding a fist-sized crystal. "I got a high-purity energy crystal. I think it'll recover about 0.1%."

Rita's eyes lit up. "Eat it quickly!"

Nivalis did as told, and the difference was noticeable. She wasn't as weak as before and seemed much more energized. She then passed Rita the third Nightmare Chest.

Without hesitation, Nivalis opened it. However, instead of getting the energy crystal she hoped for, she found a scroll inside.
