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 understood immediately. The latter categories—like specialized knowledge and item usage—made sense. After all, carrying items relied heavily on systems like World of Graves, and most professional knowledge required materials to translate into combat power. Not always practical.

She switched over to the newly added trading hub. A number of items had already been listed, but when she asked B8017913 whether Shatterstars were considered rare, she also typed the term into the search bar.

"The world with the highest output of Shatterstars is Fury. They're key components in power cores. Based on the BS-Lania Kaia market system, they go for about 1,700–1,800 gold apiece. Other worlds charge double or more."

Right as B8017913 finished explaining, the search results came back: 0.

The trading system was still fresh. Most players were hesitant to sell yet. And even if they did, they'd probably sell full items—not raw materials.
