After clearing the infamous Spider Nest chapter, he thought it was over.

Instead, it was just the beginning.

He wakes up inside the world he knows too well,
not as a fixer, not as a survivor…

but as Valentina Bonyatelli,
the future boss of the Thumb,

a woman fated for betrayal, ruin, and a brutal end.

Worse, this is before the Smoking War,
when every decision shapes a future soaked in blood.

Armed with knowledge of what’s to come, he sets out to change everything.

He sharpens his skills beyond expectation.
Builds unlikely alliances,
from Night Awl’s Allan to a rising fixer in District 23.

And begins to untangle the web of hatred, abuse, and ambition that doomed Valentina in the first place.

But the deeper he goes, the clearer it becomes,

Valentina’s tragedy wasn’t an accident.

It was inevitable.

Because in a world ruled by Fingers, bloodlines, and broken people…

some fates are designed to collapse.

And escaping them may cost more than becoming the villain ever did.
