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

Orion and Selene moved quietly, their eyes sharp as they surveyed the crowd.

The area surrounding the dungeon was a mix of chaos and desperation, with teams setting up camp, traders peddling supplies, and lone awakeners sitting on the dirt with hollow expressions.

Orion's brows knitted together, his innocent confusion making him look even younger.

"Selene, why do some of them look... sick? Aren't awakeners supposed to be an important asset?"

Selene's gaze flicked to the huddled figures, their gaunt faces and bruised skin a clear sign of neglect.

Many of them were support-type awakeners, their abilities not as flashy or useful in combat situations.

They were the healers, the barrier makers, the enhancers—the ones who kept teams alive, but rarely received credit or care.

Even though awakeners were supposed to be rare, and useful, that did not mean they were treated equally. Especially at the start of the apocalypse.
