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 didn't mind that B8017913 hadn't replied to her, as she was already focused on the battle at hand. Little did she know, the gods had added keyword sensing to the game...

The third round of the Match-3 mechanics greatly reduced the distance between players. It allowed even Nightmare Mode and Abyssal-level players to take down Demon Kings and Overlords.

In the previous round, the physical contact required for Match-3 meant that despite Rita's impressive agility (over 2,000), her speed couldn't compete with Abyssal-level players. Even without encountering the chain skill that could drag players back, she wouldn't have lasted much longer.

After her first death, she quickly changed tactics, opting to lie low. But this round was different. The skill link mechanic now allowed players who initiated the link to avoid the death penalty.

There were quite a few skills that worked with this new rule.
