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 still had a borrowed tunneling skill she got from a treasure chest back in Round 8 using [Repay].

It was the one that let her phase into the space pirate ship — [Shadow of Nothingness]. She grabbed it the moment the original user was ejected from the ground after the skill expired.

Rita timed her use of [Repay] based on the borrowed skill's 5-minute duration. Its 3-minute cooldown had long since passed, but [Snowy Summer], the skill allowing her to phase into the ship, only had 18 seconds left.

If she wasn't a treasure chest by Round 18, she'd have to borrow another skill from someone else.

At 8 minutes and 30 seconds into the game — Round 18 — Rita's body finally lit up with a pale golden glow.

This was the moment she'd been worrying about… and waiting for.

The second the glow appeared, she activated [Lonely Antenna Baby].
