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.

Liria was getting really good at pretending everything was fine.

If there were awards for feigning normalcy while internally screaming, she'd be a grand champion, gold medalist, reigning titleholder.

Outwardly, she did all the usual things ate breakfast, insulted Ananara, ignored Enara's judgmental looks, and pretended she didn't feel like she was being dragged into a black abyss by a mother she had absolutely no intention of bonding with.

"You've been staring at your plate for five minutes." Enara's voice was clipped, but her midnight eyes held something dangerously close to concern.

Liria glanced down. Her fork was hovering an inch above her scrambled eggs, unmoving.

"I'm just savoring the moment," she said dryly. "I don't get to enjoy my food before it gets interrupted by some life-threatening nonsense."
