I logged into a game I knew better than anyone.

A brutal fantasy VR world where a single mistake could mean death.

And then,

I couldn’t log out.

Worse, I didn’t become the hero.

I became Sian Brace,
an obese, arrogant noble who bullied the protagonist, harassed the heroines… and was destined to be utterly destroyed.

A character hated by everyone.

A character who dies early.

So I made one decision.

Survive.

I crushed my body through relentless training.
Forced it to change.
Repaired a broken core that was never meant to recover.

No shortcuts. No pride. No hesitation.

Because if I follow the original story,

I die.

But as I change, something else begins to shift.

The heroines who once despised Sian start approaching me.
The protagonist watches me with growing suspicion.
And the monsters I was supposed to fear,

no longer feel untouchable.

Even the strongest figures in the world, people I tried to avoid at all costs,

are beginning to notice me.

I was supposed to be a stepping stone.

So why,

is the story starting to break around me?
