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

Shadow.Q stood outside Rita's villa, bright and early, holding a massive metal case packed with stat-boosting resources from Eclipse Vanguard.

Originally, Eclipse Vanguard hadn't prepared this much—but after yesterday's announcement, just the fact that Divine Talents were upgrading by a full tier had the entire organization scrambling. They swept the country clean of stat-boost items, finally pulling together 500 points. Even a few big-name international organizations chipped in, each delivering another 200.

Now, the case in her hands held a total of 2000 stat points.

And thanks to Rita's evolution, everyone had contributed willingly.

Shadow.Q had assumed she'd be waiting a while. She had no clue what kind of place that "mysterious world" was, but judging from the rewards alone, it clearly wasn't anything easy.

To her surprise, she only waited two minutes.
