Arthur Grail, a hardcore player of the VRMMO Trinity Star Online, woke up one day in the body of Gerard Astoria—a petty villain fated to die before the main story even began. To make matters worse, Gerard's death was a crucial event in the game's narrative. If he didn’t meet his predetermined end, it could disrupt the story entirely, leading the universe toward one of the countless "bad end" routes!

Unwilling to leave his fate to chance, Arthur decided to take matters into his own hands—recruiting the "player" as his partner to help him clear the game and rewrite his destiny.

But wait—"Why is the player not a dude but a sharp-tongued beauty instead?!"

Follow Arthur's odyssey, filled with trouble at every turn, as he works to uncover the mystery behind his awakening in a universe eerily similar to Trinity Star Online's setting, all while trying to save the entire universe… without forgetting to enjoy himself!

Fated to Die to the Player, I’ll Live Freely with My SSS-Class Ship!

From the preliminaries of the Aegis Grand Prix, only the top 16 racers were allowed to participate in the main event. Among those numbers, both of Astoria's racing teams safely made it through.

Right, as for Eden—if we exclude our record—they should have been ranked 16th. In short, they were exactly one spot short of qualifying for the main race.

That was probably the main reason they confronted us yesterday.

They wanted to secure a spot in the main event no matter the cost, and they chose to target us—the most "nonstandard" of all the participants. Too bad for them that their plan failed spectacularly.

After the race, I gave Cassandra a full day of rest. She had given 120% of her effort, so she deserved it.

Eva stayed by her side the entire time, accompanying her as they went shopping, indulged in food, and enjoyed the city's luxuries.

Me? No, I didn't join them. I had more pressing matters to attend to than taking a leisurely break.
