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

A full day passed, and Selene finally felt calm and serene.

The constant, nagging sensation of something knocking at her mind had disappeared, leaving her with a newfound clarity.

The calmness was a luxury, and she intended to make the most of it.

With a clear head, she decided it was time to address a lingering issue—the dungeon and the negotiations with the government.

She approached Ethan as he lounged on the couch, a book resting on his chest.

"I'm heading to the government facility to negotiate about the dungeon. Come with me?"

Ethan's eyes shifted up to meet hers, and he closed the book with a soft thud.

They prepared quickly and made their way to the government facility. From the moment they arrived, Selene felt the change in the air.

There was a buzz of unrest beneath the surface, a current of tension that set her on edge.
