This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist

After her rebirth, Rita vows not to repeat her past mistakes. This time, her first priority is to stop her brother, who is about to marry into the Lopez family, from participating in the initial game beta test. In her previous life, she was deceived by this scheming brother until her dying breath. It was only at the end that she realized she was merely a villain in a male-oriented novel about a live-in son-in-law, with all the malice and manipulation orchestrated by him behind the scenes. In this life, Rita decides to change the rules of the game. She will stay in the shadows and seize all the opportunities meant for the male and female leads. By participating in the beta test and re-selecting her abilities, she systematically dismantles the protagonists’ advantages, all while making them believe she’s on their side. Rita has no intention of harming innocent people, nor is she a selfless saint. In this game, she works with the authorities for mutual benefit, all to achieve her ultimate goal—becoming the true master of her fate.

Nowhere to Retreat

Suspended in the currents within the giant whale's body, dozens of palm-sized magical runes floated, numbering at least eighty. The interior was inscribed with complex symbols and patterns that Rita couldn't understand.

Her internal alarms blared, but abandoning this was unthinkable. People couldn't just stand still and wait for opportunities to come to them, could they?

She threw the unconscious body of a nearby alien species into the water. The creature drifted slowly toward the skeletal remains. This process took several minutes. Upon touching the skeleton, the creature was "absorbed," leaving behind only its empty equipment floating in the currents.

Rita repeated the experiment with different subjects. Some bore bleeding wounds, while others didn't. Eventually, she confirmed the water currents would not actively attack unless provoked.
