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

It was said that you could not run away form your past, but for Selene this saying felt like it has a grip on her.

Selene found herself retreating inward, her mood shifting. The small victories felt hollow, overshadowed by the public's perception of her.

Her team, ever perceptive, noticed immediately. Ethan, Zara, and Orion did their best to reassure her, praising her leadership, reminding her of how far they had come because of her guidance.

"You're not useless. You're the reason we're still alive. You see things none of us can. That's not nothing."

Zara had said one morning, her voice firm, her eyes soft.

Orion had echoed the sentiment, his innocence a balm to her wounds.

"I don't care what they say on T.V. You're our captain. You always will be."

Their words helped, but the unease remained, a persistent whisper at the back of her mind.
