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

Once everyone was safely outside the dungeon gate, Selene took a moment to catch her breath.

The cool air felt sharp in her lungs, a stark contrast to the suffocating heat inside the burning dungeon.

The survivors were sprawled on the ground, some coughing, others wiping soot from their faces.

Relief painted every expression, but an undercurrent of dread lingered.

However, they were not out of the danger zone just yet.

Selene straightened, her voice clear and steady as she addressed the group.

"Listen up. There's something you all need to know."

Eyes turned toward her, a mix of gratitude and wariness.

"The monster we faced inside wasn't just a beast—it was an infection. A parasite. It can control minds and take over bodies. Valeria wasn't herself back there. She was a puppet."

A ripple of horror passed through the crowd. The government official, pale and trembling, opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
