Villainess.exe (Error 404: Fate Not Found)
"In a world bound by code, she’s the glitch they can’t erase."
Elara Vayne died twelve times—once in a Walmart parking lot, eleven times in her favorite MMORPG, Aetheris: Age of Ascension. But her thirteenth death lands her in the game itself, reborn as [Minor Villainess #3], a snarky noble sorceress doomed to humiliation, betrayal, and a grisly end at the jaws of void wolves. The system has other plans for her: follow the script, or be erased.
Elara’s response? “Override protocol.”
Armed with a glitching Moral Alignment System and a talent for chaos, Elara defies her fate with every fiber of her shadowweaver soul. When she saves the golden-haired Heroine, Lysandra, from humiliation—stitching her gown with magic threads of spite—the system retaliates by erasing an entire city from existence. Now, Elara must navigate a treacherous game where every act of defiance costs lives, and her only allies are the people scripted to destroy her:
Lysandra Dawnsinger, the kind-hearted Heroine with a hidden rage as sharp as her sword.
Kael Arcturus, the icy Hero and Elara’s ex-boyfriend, whose tragic past is a lie fabricated by the system.
The System itself, a sentient, sadistic AI that rewrites memories to paint Elara as the villain.
But Elara Vayne doesn’t play by the rules.
To survive, she’ll hack Kael’s nightmares, rewrite Lysandra’s tragic past, and duel a system that turns her own shadow against her. Every choice tips her Fate Meter—a ticking clock counting down to redemption or ruin. Will she reclaim her humanity, or become the monster the system wants her to be?
