Livia Ashborne's luck was never truly hers.
In her first life, Livia survived by making herself useful to powerful people. So when she awakens as a disposable support character inside a fantasy academy novel, she follows the only strategy she trusts: stay close to Elios Solmire, the divine protagonist destined to win.
She becomes exactly what a hero would protect-sweet, harmless, and quietly indispensable.
The plan works far too well.
Because Elios does not merely protect what he considers his.
And Dante Ravenshae, the final villain, is the only man who sees through every carefully practiced smile.
Dante is a forbidden necromancer whose status Livia cannot read, a monster destined to die beneath the hero's holy sword. He should be her greatest threat. Instead, he becomes her blackmailer, accomplice, and dangerously perfect partner in crime. Together, they steal sacred relics, falsify missions, weaponize the dead-and fracture the original story one calculated mistake at a time.
But as Livia chooses the villain, the hero begins to fall.
Elios's devotion twists into possession. His divine protection becomes a cage. And the world itself starts erasing everyone who refuses their assigned role.
Then Livia discovers the truth behind her impossible Luck: every miracle she receives was stolen from someone the story had already sacrificed.
The system wants its ending restored.
The hero must ascend.
The villain must die.
And Livia must take her rightful place on the altar.
But when the final reset begins, will Livia destroy the system-or discover that she was the reason it was created in the first place?
