Reincarnated as the Villainess’s Unlucky Bodyguard

After a shocking reincarnation, our hero opens her eyes to a new (and messy) world the last thing she remembers is reading Lady Viper’s Vow, a dark fantasy novel about a cruel, misunderstood villainess and her path of doom. But when our protagonist finds herself reborn right in the heart of an attack, she's moments away from a second, way-too-soon death. Just as she's about to face the end, a mysterious “system” pops up with a single mission: Level Up or Die Trying. It’s bossy, snarky, and her new best friend. As she levels up into a borderline-cheater powerhouse, she discovers her fate isn't to be a hero, a princess, or even a sorceress, but to protect the one person no one ever expected her to side with: the villainess herself.

Unleashed Flames

"Why do I feel like this just got worse?" I whispered, gripping my sword tighter.

[Because it did,] the system quipped. [Those glowing runes? A signal that they're about to beat you like a piñata. Do try not to die again. It's embarrassing.]

"Oh, gee, thanks!" I snapped, leaping back as the first golem swung its massive fist at me, narrowly missing my ribs.

The second golem, faster now, flanked me. Before I could recover, it sent another chunk of rock hurtling toward my head. I ducked instinctively, feeling the sharp wind as the projectile grazed past.

"Can you stop chucking boulders?!" I yelled. "It's getting old!"

[Fun fact: they don't care.]

I gritted my teeth and activated Inferno Burst, summoning flames to engulf my blade. The black fire roared to life, licking hungrily at the air. The first golem paused, almost as if it recognized the threat.

"That's right," I said, smirking. "You better be scared."
