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.

The scent of ancient stone and powerful magic saturated the air, mingled with something else a faint, familiar fragrance that sent an ache deep into her chest.

She paused, pressing one hand against the cold stone wall, closing her eyes briefly as she steadied her heartbeat. She could feel Liria clearly now, her presence vibrating subtly in the air. Close so painfully close.
