I'll save the villainess! (GL)

Ah, everything feels like a long dream.

How much time has it been since I've entered this world already?

How much have I been through...

How many relationships have I built?

To think all of them were with characters of a novel I read before dying.

The so called 'phobias' that each of us users have... it's linked to our past lives.

Still, a fear of being alone? Did I have some severe abandonment issues?

What could it be...

Hey, system... it's been a while since I've contacted it. Problems of this world should have been resolved by now, but I feel like there's more to uncover.

[Host, what is it?]

What is god hiding from me?

[...]

Playing dead? Fine, I'll have to find out myself...

Each user's past life, including mine, have already been revealed. Though something I find strange is... the heroine and the prince's past life... it's said that they met some strange doom.

If it's something that could wipe out all of humanity, it has to be dangerous.

That... might also reveal how we ended up here.

The book I read had an unfinished ending, and I'm meant to rewrite it. The previous world without me in it ended due to some unknown causes...

I have to stop it.

"N/N~"

"Elise? What are you doing here?"

Currently, Elise, the supposed-to-be villainess, was clinging onto my side like a lovesick puppy.

"Lately, I feel like we haven't had much time together... and there are others to compete with now too,"

Noticing her pout, my expression softens. It's true, maybe I have been neglecting her.

"I'll make it up to you, Elise. Is there something you want?"

Perking up, a mischievous smirk crept onto her face. I've landed myself in trouble now, haven't I?

I soon found myself in the bustling marketplace again, dragged around by an excited Elise.

"N/N, this one suits you well... oh, but this one does too. You look perfect in everything!"

Phew, shopping is tiring after all.

I wasn't one with plenty of money or time, spending so much money shopping was something I never could've imagined doing.

"Elise, come to think of it... Even if you don't marry Prince Leonas, you'll still be inheriting the Duke's title, huh?"

Despite it not being mentioned much in the novel, Elise was an exceptional character. Just being overshadowed by the male and female leads, a gem diamonds just seemed average.

"That's right. Even inheriting the Duke's title, my family is dominant in the kingdom... it's definitely enough to support N/N for ten lifetimes!"

"You're so impressive, Elise... compared to me, I..."

Strange, I feel a pang of guilt in my heart.

It's always been Elise chasing after me, hasn't it? Yet... she's so exceptional, surely...
