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

With the Bounty Seed secured, Selene's voice cut through the chaos.

"It's time to leave. Stick together."

Her team nodded, weary but alert.

The dungeon's atmosphere had shifted—the air grew hotter, the walls seemed to pulse, and the ground trembled beneath their feet.

The signs of an impending dungeon collapse were unmistakable.

Selene led the way, her Insight skill guiding them through the maze-like corridors.

The path twisted and turned, and she could sense the faint presence of the other group, led by Ethan and Zara, steadily making their way to the exit.

But then, a flicker of movement caught her attention. A figure sprinting toward them, stumbling over rocks and debris.

Selene's instincts screamed at her to prepare for a fight, but Insight whispered otherwise. Whatever this was, it wasn't a monster.

She tightened her grip on her weapon, but lowered it slightly as the figure drew closer.
