Synopsis:

Yumiella Dolkness exists in a world shaped by predetermined narratives. Initially appearing as a noble with unsettling dark magic, she harbors a secret: memories of a past life in modern Japan and knowledge of her role as the hidden antagonist in a popular hero-driven RPG. Disillusioned with the game's romantic focus, Yumiella seeks to master her abilities independently. However, her exceptional power level – inexplicably reaching 99 at a young age – disrupts the established order. Thrust into the spotlight by the royal family and pressured to validate her strength, Yumiella must navigate a world demanding she fulfill a destiny she actively rejects. The series explores themes of free will versus fate within a fantastical setting, as Yumiella grapples with the implications of defying a preordained role and forging her own path amidst expectations and scrutiny.
