LuLU888000

After a shocking reincarnation, our hero opens her eyes to a new (and messy) world the last thing she remembers is reading Lady Viper’s Vow, a dark fantasy novel about a cruel, misunderstood villainess and her path of doom. But when our protagonist finds herself reborn right in the heart of an attack, she's moments away from a second, way-too-soon death. Just as she's about to face the end, a mysterious “system” pops up with a single mission: Level Up or Die Trying. It’s bossy, snarky, and her new best friend.

As she levels up into a borderline-cheater powerhouse, she discovers her fate isn't to be a hero, a princess, or even a sorceress, but to protect the one person no one ever expected her to side with: the villainess herself.

Reincarnated as the Villainess’s Unlucky Bodyguard

Liria leaned against the jagged dungeon wall, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. The chamber where she had just fought the Revenant was now eerily silent, save for the occasional crackle of fading embers from her Shadowflare Blade's final strike. She wiped the sweat from her brow, wincing as her arm protested the movement. Every inch of her body felt like it had been through a meat grinder, set on fire, and then stomped on for good measure.

"Alright," she muttered to herself, "let's assess the damage. Bruised ribs? Check. Health bar in the red zone? Check. Complete and utter exhaustion? Double check. Yeah, doing great."

"Oh, really? Wow, I never would have thought of that on my own," she shot back, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Thank you, oh mighty System, for your infinite wisdom. Truly, I'd be lost without you."
