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.

"System," she grumbled, "how much farther until the exit? Please tell me I'm not stuck in here forever."

[Distance to dungeon exit: approximately 3.2 kilometers.]

"Three point two—?!" Liria's voice echoed sharply, her frustration bouncing off the walls. She threw her hands up, glaring at the jagged ceiling. "Of course! Why not make me walk across a continent while we're at it? Just slap me in a marathon simulator!"

[Suggestion: Complaining will not reduce the distance.]

"I hate you," she snapped, her voice flat but venomous.

I don’t belong to anyone
