Zelina Crystal.

Certainly, let's revise the text for Chapter 2:

Chapter 2: My name is Eric. Despite being born an orphan and studying relentlessly, I managed to graduate from university with honors.

From that point on, my life took an unexpected turn. I climbed the corporate ladder and even entered into a seemingly beautiful marriage... or so I thought.

However, nothing went as planned. I didn't find a spouse or a job that I had worked so hard for. It all traced back to my... background.

Nevertheless, I wasn't one to dwell on the past. With no other viable options, I continued to pursue higher qualifications.

Years later, at the age of 28, I finally secured a position at NTG Groups, one of California's most prestigious companies.

But... what had happened to me?

----

It had been three hours since I inexplicably found myself in the world of my favorite novel, "The Lost Heir," assuming the role of an unfortunate villainous character.

I was now Lucas Flynn, Anisely Lucas Flynn, a 20-year-old heir to the Flynn family, one of the most influential families in America. While lacking special skills, I was swimming in wealth—a stark contrast to my previous life of solitude and poverty.

"But, this time, I'm a complete game-changer, Hahaha..."

"Haha..."

"Ha..."

'This is bad.'

Lucas was a rather foolish villain, a reckless spender who used his money to exploit the vulnerable without remorse. His sole purpose was to serve as a stepping stone for the story's main character, Kay Siegel.

Currently, I was on my way to one of the most luxurious hotels in Ardell, the capital of Ardell but set 15 years ahead in the year 2045 from my time.

In this world, dungeons, monsters, and people with fantastical powers had become a reality. To survive here, I would need to utilize every resource at my disposal.

*sigh*

"Has anything troubling happened today, young master?"

Upon hearing my sigh, a sweet female voice reached my ears. I lifted my gaze to meet her eyes.

She possessed a striking beauty with blue hair and a fiery personality. Anna Violet, aged 24, with a special power ranking of A and an awakened rank of C. She had the potential to achieve S Rank.

'I remember her details clearly...'

Anna had stuck by this useless scoundrel's side since he had helped her in her youth. Even when she was given the chance to align herself with the story's protagonist, she had chosen to support this jerk.

She was the second of three people who wanted Lucas Flynn to survive. An unfamiliar and beautiful sight unfolded outside the car window as we continued our journey.

The gentle sunlight illuminated the lush vegetation. As the car drew closer, I could see the signboard for the "Royal Hotel."

I exited the car and made my way into the hotel... gracefully? 

Tok. Tok.

Anna followed closely behind me.

My eyes searched for door number 23, and as soon as I spotted it, Anna rushed ahead of me, gently pushing the door open.

My eyes were captivated by the figure sitting before me.

With silver-white hair and piercing icy eyes, she reminded me of a gruesome scene I had read on my mobile.

The death of Zelina Crystal. She was the third of the three individuals who wished for Lucas Flynn's survival.

She was also my fiancée. "...Long time no see."

She bowed her head in greeting, her beauty evident. She was a named character who was fated to meet the same tragic end as Lucas Flynn.

"How have you been?" Zelina asked, a question to which I had no real answer. I regarded her without much emotion.

If she had been a mere servant, she might have been unable to withstand the intensity of my gaze and looked away. However, she waited in silence.

Had Lucas been his usual self, he would have likely retorted with something like, 'I don't want to see you, b*tch.' 

If that had happened, Zelina's tears would have naturally flowed. This scene would have led to Dean Crystal, Dean staring back at me with an unmistakable desire to obliterate me.

"Lucas, may I ask you something?"

"Yes?"

"Can we... go to university together from now on?"

This line, I was now certain it was the 23rd chapter.

In response, Lucas would typically reply, 'You want to go to university with me, Lucas Flynn? Do you have any idea how many men you've been with? You'll tarnish my reputation.'

Says Lucas Flynn. Hearing his words, Zelina's tears would inevitably stream down her face. Upon witnessing this scene, Dean Crystal, unable to contain his anger, would pummel Lucas to the point of needing an A-rank healer.

I glanced at Dean, who stared back at me with a gaze that seemed intent on devouring me.

"Lucas?"

"It's my pleasure."

Upon hearing my response, he finally relaxed and took a sip of his wine.

"Really, can we truly go together?"

"Yes," I replied, offering the best smile I could manage.

Suddenly, an urgent sensation gripped me. My stomach churned.

'Bathroom. Bathroom, bathroom. I need to go to the bathroom...'

"Sorry, but I have to leave now. Later, I'll pick you up from your house."

Her expression conveyed a mixture of sadness and disappointment. "Sure, go ahead."

I brushed past her, making my way out of the hallway, and entered the guest bathroom.

I looked around to ensure no one was coming in and, after confirming that I was alone, I did what I needed to do.

"Whew... Almost..."

I scratched my head, relieved.
