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

The morning started off peacefully enough. The sun shone brightly over the castle, bathing the grounds in a golden hue. Birds chirped melodically, the scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, and for a fleeting moment, I thought, Maybe today will actually be normal.

That hope lasted all of five minutes.

"LIRIA!" Enara's voice echoed down the hallway, sharp enough to make me spill my cup of tea. I barely had time to set it down before she burst into my room, her dark eyes blazing.

"Good morning to you too," I said dryly, brushing crumbs off my lap. "To what do I owe the pleasure of your gentle intrusion?"

"You," she said, pointing a dramatic finger at me, "are coming with me to the courtyard. Now."

I frowned. "Why? Did Seraphis decide I'm not suffering enough?"
