1.

Thud.

A black spear forged with dark magic pierced straight through my heart.

The impact sent dark red blood gushing from my mouth.

‘Ah, so this is how I die in the end.’

I had possessed someone destined for a gruesome death ending, and despite struggling desperately to avoid that fate, I ended up meeting my end by saving the man I loved and dying in his place.

“Theor… run…”

My mouth filled with blood, making it impossible to speak properly.

My breathing grew more labored, and my vision darkened.

But even in that moment, only Perioze’s Sister’s voice calling my name and wailing reached me with eerie clarity.

“Eli! Stay conscious! Eli! No!”

‘Sister…’

When I first possessed this body, I had planned to simply seduce the sister who would kill me and enjoy a peaceful possession life without a gruesome death ending.

Throughout reading the original work, the charismatic and justified villainess Princess Perioze was my favorite, so I thought I’d become close with her, avoid the gruesome death ending, and live happily while getting along with my beloved favorite character.

‘But… why did it turn out this way?’

It was probably because I ended up falling in love with a man I never expected.

Theor.

At first, I was interested in him simply because he was the only being with dark attributes that closely resembled my black magic.

Just as black magic was rejected as evil magic in the world I originally came from, here too the dark attributes that stood opposite to light attributes were shunned as wicked power.

I had only been concerned about that commonality, but before I knew it, I had fallen in love with him.

I captured in my blurring vision my favorite Perioze Sister, who was covered in tears, and Theor, who was looking at me with a face frozen in shock.

‘So in the end, I’m finishing like this without being able to protect either my favorite character or the person I wanted to save…’

As my consciousness slowly sank into the dark abyss, I prayed desperately one last time.

‘Please, let it end with just me. Sister too, and Theor too… please don’t let anyone else die anymore…’

And soon, all the light in my world completely disappeared.

At that moment, my world should have definitely ended.

* * *

I have been possessed.

This place is inside the novel [The Lover of Carolyn] that I read before I died.

Crack!

Stars burst before my eyes along with pain that jolted me awake.

Without time to be confused, the scene that filled my sideways-turned vision was very unfamiliar.

People adorned with fancy dresses, tuxedo-like excessive formal wear, and sparkling jewels.

They were all gazing at me with faces that looked like they had just become adults or hadn’t yet become adults, appearing quite young.

Then.

“Do you think a young lady has the right to block my path?”

A voice that was coldly elegant yet strangely captivating rang in my ears.

When I instinctively turned my head, what filled my vision was a woman with dazzlingly radiant red hair and ruby-like eyes.

‘…Huh?’

Even though it was definitely a face I was seeing for the first time, it felt very familiar, and I couldn’t take my eyes off her at all, when another woman’s voice came from beside me.

“Please stop, Princess Perioze!”

It was a woman with crystal-clear emerald eyes and snow-white hair.

‘Huh?’

This woman too felt familiar despite being a face I was seeing for the first time.

I quickly turned my head to rapidly assess the situation.

‘Familiar appearances. Clothes and space I’ve never seen before. And Princess Perioze… Gasp!’

At that moment, my eyes widened to the point they might pop out.

‘Crazy! Who did I just see? No way! Did I just witness the real Princess Perioze, my favorite character?!’

My heart was pounding so hard it was about to explode.

“Wooooh!”

A sound that was either admiration or a scream burst from my mouth.

Instantly, all the surrounding gazes focused on me.

I accurately grasped the current situation.

This place is inside the novel [The Lover of Carolyn] that I read before I died.

That makes sense, since I definitely just died.

Actually, I was the strongest black mage in a country called Oderon.

Although I lived an unfair life being pointed at and called evil for my magic that used human souls as material, and died absurdly by missing a step on stairs.

Just to clarify in case of misunderstanding, there couldn’t and shouldn’t be magic that uses human souls as material in modern society.

My introduction before possession would be something like ‘I was born with black magic power and could use black magic, and among those who could use black magic, I was exceptionally talented, so I was chosen to die as a representative.’

Anyway, I was certain that I had been possessed into the novel 【The Lover of Carolyn】 that my roommate had recommended as interesting from my original world.

Because the person who just mercilessly slapped my cheek before my eyes is undoubtedly my favorite character from 【The Lover of Carolyn】 that I read, the strongest villainess in the novel, Perioze McKenzie.

Snow-white skin and intense hair that seemed like living, moving flames.

She was so wonderful and beautiful that I found myself exclaiming in admiration that such a person could actually exist.

“Lady Caroline. Did you just tell me to stop? A marquis’s daughter daring to speak to a princess?”

“That’s not it, you were hitting my innocent friend Elinea’s cheek…!”

“Gasp…!”

Instantly, at the exclamation-like scream that burst from my mouth, everyone’s gaze focused on me at once.

‘No, Elinea! Of all the possessions I could have had…!’

Elinea Brencia.

A character who met a gruesome death ending by an assassin sent by Perioze in the early part of the original work.

I put as much strength as possible into my face that was about to contort involuntarily.

This novel was about Caroline, who was born with the unique light attribute ability, saving the Empire from monsters and villains together with other attribute ability users, while also loving, being jealous, and having romance – that kind of romance fantasy novel.

It was such a popular novel in the dormitory that everyone was absorbed in talking about this novel, and I too gradually became absorbed in it after my roommate’s recommendation.

Of course, not in the female lead but in the villainess Perioze.

When everyone else was crying ‘Poor Caroline!’, I was shouting ‘Villainess Sister is the best!’ to that extent.

So this moment when my favorite character was alive and breathing before my eyes was enough situation for me to make the bizarre sound “Uheoeoeo!!”

“What, what is it?”

“Elinea, are you okay?!”

I was very much not okay, but I was also okay.

My favorite character is right before my eyes, but I’ve been possessed by a character who gets killed by that favorite character.

It’s a bizarre situation where I should both thank and curse the god who saved me and sent me here.

“So don’t carelessly block my path, young lady.”

At that moment, seeing the villainess sister bristling at me like a cat with raised fur, I made a resolution.

‘Let’s change the original story.’

I’ll change the original story to avoid my gruesome death ending, change the villainess sister’s tragic ending too, and meet with my favorite villainess sister every day, laughing, chatting, and playing while becoming her one and only best friend.

Having thought that far, I acted impulsively without filtering through my head first, just as I had always done before my possession.

I grabbed both of Perioze’s hands in front of me and shouted.

“You’re my favorite, Princess Sister!”

* * *

In conclusion, I was treated as a child whose head had gone strange from being slapped.

The tea party that hadn’t even properly started because of me quickly came to an end.

The unnamed countess who was the tea party host looked at me and Caroline with resentful eyes, but it couldn’t be helped.

How could I have known that after dying and being possessed, I would wake up at the very moment of being slapped by my favorite sister?

Anyway, while riding in the carriage back home and cheerfully shouting ‘Oh, the carriage is nice!’, I properly recalled the original story’s content.

Since I had a pretty good head, I remembered the content of the original work that I had read with enjoyment intact.

First, in this world, all nobles possess attribute abilities.

Fire, wind, water, and earth attributes were the main ones, while light and dark attributes were rare attributes where only one person per generation might be born with them, or sometimes none at all.

In this generation, Caroline with light attributes and Theor, the Northern Duke with dark attributes were born, and the Crown Prince also had light attributes as a secret known only to the Emperor and the Late Crown Prince’s Mother.

The reason the Crown Prince’s light attribute was secret was because in this world setting, the authority of the Imperial Shrine that served the gods was similar to that of the imperial family.

Anyway, so all the nobles each have their own attributes…

“…Huh?! I don’t have any!”

I shouted without realizing it.

Damn it, Elinea Brencia has no attributes.

House of Brensia was of commoner origin, having made a fortune in the port business and bought their baronet title with money.

So in this place where only nobles use attribute abilities, she frequently faced pointing fingers and cold stares from other nobles.

It was a case where kind Caroline had protected such a girl and they became friends.

I felt inexplicably sad about the fact that not only would I be killed by my favorite character after possessing someone’s body, but I had also possessed an ordinary human without any attribute abilities.

However, my eyes widened when I saw dark magic unconsciously manifesting and flowing from the fingers of the body I had possessed.

‘Oh! I can use dark magic?!’

I tried creating a ‘Mana Hole,’ the basic ability of dark magic, inside the carriage.

A Mana Hole is a defensive magic that generates in front of the caster and swallows attacks like a barrier.

It seemed quite useful since all attacks flying toward the caster would be sucked into the hole, but the problem was that this barrier only deployed in front of the caster.

Therefore, it was a somewhat useless and crappy magic that couldn’t block attacks coming from the sides or behind at all.

Whirr—

A black hole was generated in front of me.

It works, as expected.

‘What, then. I can survive well enough even without attribute abilities, right?’

…Probably.
