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 Wailing Caverns welcomed them with an unsettling silence, broken only by the faint, mournful echo of wind brushing against the stone walls. The air was heavy, damp, and cold, wrapping around them like a shroud. Liria led the group, her sword drawn and her eyes darting cautiously. Behind her, Enara followed closely, her own weapon ready, while Daena's sharp gaze swept their surroundings, her every step measured. Ananara hovered slightly above the ground, glowing faintly in the dim light, his expression unreadable but his usual snark notably absent.

"Tell me again why we're doing this?" Ananara finally broke the silence. "Because from where I'm floating, this place reeks of bad decisions."

Liria ignored him, focusing instead on the uneven ground ahead. The system's voice chimed in her mind, its usual sarcastic edge present.

[He's not wrong. But hey, what's life without a little recklessness? Oh, right. Safer.]
