They'll get a villainess they'll never forget.Complete
The legend of the Duskbloom- The other side
Selene was just an ordinary fourteen-year-old orphan living in the old, winding streets of Berwick-upon-Tweed in 1994. Dreaming of one day graduating from medical college and moving to a bustling city far from the place that had labelled her the "spooky orphan," she longed for a life of quiet and peace. But ordinary has a way of unravelling. Selene knew she was strange-strange enough to be a whisper in an unsolved police case-but she had no idea just how extraordinary her life was about to become. One dream, one night, changes everything. Haunting, tender, and tinged with mystery, The Other Side follows Selene as she steps into the other side of the world that will test the limits of her courage-and reveal that being "spooky" might be the least of her worries.
Surviving by Choices
"Yo, System! Just give me a break already!" One moment Selene was working overtime, the next she's stuck in a fantasy game as the villainess doomed to die. Armed with cheat-code knowledge and a whole lot of sarcasm, she's out to change her fate-by stealing quests, rewriting the plot, and avoiding death flags like a pro. But when a mysterious (and annoyingly handsome) villain starts meddling with her plans, Selene realizes surviving this world might take more than just game knowledge... it might take trust. Ugh.
