After spending half my life in the hospital with an incurable disease, reading web novels beca my only joy. In those stories, the characters loved and were loved in place of , enjoying the ordinary yet extraordinary everyday life I had dread of. I comforted myself by inserting myself into their lives, loving and being loved in their stead. But the end was always a painful emptiness. So, I prayed.
"God... please make the protagonist in a novel in my next life."
With those words, I died.
And then... I truly entered into the world of a novel.
"Why am I Luina?! Why! Is this so kind of joke?!"
I beca not the protagonist, but a villainess with an incurable disease.
*****
Luina Ober. The youngest daughter of a prestigious family, she was a girl with an unreal beauty. She monopolized the love of the male leads and was envied by many readers. She was a fake protagonist.
The author, perhaps disliking her, gave Luina an incurable disease and a prickly personality, distancing her from the male leads. Then ca the real protagonist, Aria lts. Naturally, the male leads shifted their affection from Luina to Aria.
Consud by jealousy, Luina harassed Aria, but each ti, the male leads would appear to protect Aria and hurt Luina in return. Furious, Luina tried to have Aria expelled from the academy, but her plan backfired, and she was the one who got expelled. Losing the will to live, Luina moved to a remote area and died painfully from her disease.
I felt so sad seeing Luina. It was painful to see her lose everything and die just like , added to the story for such suffering. Initially, readers cursed the author, but later they cursed Luina, and it felt like they were cursing .
But now I had beco that Luina. I learned sothing.
God does exist, and he enjoys watching humans suffer.
*****
Please stop...
"Luina... I will always protect you. I won't let you cry anymore. You just need to trust ."
Don't lie. You're going to leave. You'll ignore my trust.
"Oh my... I heard that the youngest daughter of the Ober family was pretty, but I didn't know she was this beautiful. Hmm! May I have the honor of dancing with you?"
Don't lie. You're going to abandon . You won't even look at .
"Don’t get too close to the prince. It will only make you suffer. But... I can see why the prince likes you..."
Don’t lie. You don’t understand. You’re going to tornt .
"Prince, I was the one who promised to escort her today. You should have co earlier. It’s ungentlemanly to keep a lady waiting."
"Don't... don't do this to ... making hope like this..." Why are you being so nice? Why are you making so happy? How much do you want to hurt ? How much do you want to cause pain...
"Luina... I like you. Ah, I wasn’t expecting an answer! I just... wanted to let you know my feelings. Well then, I’ll be off!"
"Luina! That guy confessed, didn’t he? It made realize that I like you too. You need to choose wisely. Though, in the end, it’ll be you choose."
"Luina Ober... I’ve heard about it. You’ll make a wise decision. You're that kind of woman. But you haven’t excluded from your choices, have you?"
Liars... Why do you make it so hard for ? Eventually, you'll disappear when she appears. That’s... our fate...

I knew it, but I pretended not to know. The first happiness I've experienced in two lifetis was too enjoyable. Being loved was such a delightful thing. Every day was exciting, my heart raced, and smiles ca naturally.
While internally denying them, I couldn't refuse the sweetness they offered. Deceived by that sweetness, I indulged in vain delusions.
"Maybe I’ve entered the original setup of the novel? No incurable disease and a lifeti of happiness for Luina."
"Yes, that must be it. It’s already different from the original. I received confessions even before entering the academy!"
But it was rely a sweet dream.
"...Elise Lintz has died. I must go now. Sorry, Luina, you go to sleep first tonight, okay?"
"Honey, I feel so sorry for that child... She was supposed to have only happy days left... why... even God is indifferent."
Elise Lintz had died. Hearing that news, my head started to hurt, and my stomach churned. I dropped the spoon I was holding and collapsed under the table.
The day Elise Lintz died, it ant two things. One was the day the 'witch' awakened.
And the other was...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
The day Luina Ober contracted an incurable disease. Once again, I beca terminally ill.

"Wow... how can she be so beautiful? It’s not the dresses that are wings, but Cecilia herself; she looks good in anything."
Well, I am my father's daughter. It’s only natural.
"Ria... you... this is dangerous. Madam, what if n who fell in love at first sight rush at her?"
Don't worry, father. The only man who can rush at is you.
After dressing up and finishing the preparations, everyone praised . But I was more pleased that it shocked my father. Hehe, he won’t think of as just a little girl anymore.
I could feel my father’s heart racing as he escorted . Ah... he’s aware of , isn’t he? How could I be so happy... It would be so romantic to elope with father in love. But that's just a dream.
So, what cos next is important. I have to et many people.
To find a suitable match for my father. After all, it’s for my debut in society.
*****
To put it simply, the debutante ball was a success. Thanks to the support from the Godmother, those who were hostile to did not attend, and many were captivated by my beauty, regardless of their gender.
There were a few who took an excessive liking to , but I made sure they wouldn't think of again. It was a bit annoying, but I didn’t show it as usual.
However, unfortunately, I couldn't find a suitable match for my father. If soone had a decent appearance, their status was low, or if their status was high, their appearance was just average.
There was no one quite like Luina Ober. Father certainly admired Miss Ober's beauty that day. I almost got jealous, but I managed to control myself.
It's decided then; it has to be Miss Ober. With her looks, lineage, abilities, and talents, she will surely satisfy my father.
To achieve this, I need to enter the academy. Although I wasn't particularly eager, it's a necessary step for the happiness of both my father and myself. Fortunately, it ans I can et my father at the academy.
Hehe, I’m quite looking forward to it.

Finally, I've enrolled! The royal academy of my dreams! And now I'm a student here! Surely, splendid and happy days will repeat, right?
"Kyaa!" Oh no! I got so excited that I caused a scene. I bumped into a senior. What if I get scolded?
"Who is it!" Oh no, this is big trouble! He seems really angry! I shouldn't have started my first day like this... Maybe I should've just stayed quietly in the corner as my father said…
"I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going!"
Quickly bowing and apologizing repeatedly, fortunately, the senior forgave .
"What, a freshman?"
"Yes, yes! I'm Aria lts, I enrolled today!"
"Ah... nothing I can say about that. Just be more careful."
"Thank you!"
It was such a relief. He was good-looking and kind-hearted. My heart is racing. Is this what love feels like? Maybe, hehe!
Suppressing my excitent, I entered the dormitory, and there was a really cute and pretty girl there. To think she's my roommate! I must be really lucky.
"Hehe, hello? I'm Cecilia Asil. Nice to et you."
"Hello! I'm Aria lts! Nice to et you too!"
Cecilia seed to have a lovely personality as well. Such a bright smile! I thought I should learn from her.
"But lts, I know it's a bit forward since we just t, but could you take off your clothes?"
"What, what?! No?"
Uh...? My roommate, despite how she looks, is a pervert? I never expected her to ask to strip all of a sudden...
"Hmm... your breasts are really big. I'm jealous. Now that you're undressed, could you also spread your legs?"
"What have you been saying all this ti!"
This is serious! She's not just a pervert, she's a huge pervert! What should I do? Should I tell the dorm supervisor…
"Everything looks clean. You even have your hyn. Haven’t you tried masturbating?"
"Of course not! Uh, what? Why am I...?"
Uh... why am I naked? Why am I spreading my legs in front of soone I just t...?
"Your family is a bit lacking, but you'll do fine as a concubine. Put your clothes back on and forget what happened just now."
"Ah...uh..."
? What? Huh?
"Hehe, hello? I'm Cecilia Asil. Nice to et you."
…Ah, right, I should greet my roommate.
"Hello! I'm Aria lts! Nice to et you too!"
