The Enhancement Character
Ding——
A cheerful chime rang out inside my head as I walked along the path.
But for all its bright, lively tone, the words that materialized before my eyes were anything but cheerful.
"Ha, haha… Again? What is it this time…"
"Lily? What's wrong? Are you cold?"
My childhood friend, walking beside me, suddenly leaned in close. Her expression was pure innocence—genuinely worried.
If we'd been ordinary friends, I might have been touched by that look and told her about the strange text floating in front of my eyes…
"Mm, it's nothing. Let's go."
But I couldn't tell her. Not her, of all people.
Because this only appeared for one reason: I—the childhood friend of this world's protagonist, Elin—had failed to die.
This is the story of someone who transmigrated into a game they didn't even know existed.
And the story of someone who saved a character who was supposed to die for the protagonist's sake.
…The story of a certain pitiful soul trying to escape their fate as mere enhancement material.
