Every family has that one person who is born as a sacrifice. For her family, that person was Selene Vale, who was to become a spare for her younger twin siblings success.

Due to her innate shy and kind nature, she was not able to connect to her family every since she was young. So, despite her rich background, Selene Vale never felt like a part of the family and was often regarded as the 'First spare' or even 'defective'. That did not change even when the world fell and Apocalypses happened.

Selene Vale's first life ended trying to protect her twin siblings, the only people who had yet to abandon her. That was her end...

...but it wasn't. 

Due to her sacrifice, Selene Vale awakened her system and innate power and was given another chance at life and survival. And this time, she vowed to free her siblings from their parent's cruel influence. If she was able to do that, then she would be happy with that.

But unfortunately, that was not all she did. She also ended up attracting the attention of the big-boss of the Apocalypse, the only L-ranked hunter and the hope of humanity....and also, a long time friend she would rather forget about.

The Spare’s Second Chance in Apocalypse

Selene could feel the sweat dripping down her back, her body tense with fear.

Every instinct screamed at her to turn back, to leave before they were spotted. Her breathing was uneven as she weighed her options, trying to push through the panic gripping her chest.

Just as she was about to decide to retreat, she felt something—

She flinched violently, pulling her hand away instinctively before she even registered who had touched her.

The boy looked just as startled as she was, but he quickly composed himself. His dark eyes studied her with concern.

She swallowed, forcing herself to nod.

But even as she said it, she knew she wasn't convincing anyone. Her complexion was pale, her fingers trembling slightly. Orion clearly wasn't buying it.

He hesitated before speaking again, softer this time.
