This shabby life was coming to an end again.

Without fail, in his hands.

Even though I had already died seven times under the hands of Rixus, why did I always have the same question?

“Why, me….”

On my chest, where my clothes were ripped apart, a bright blue rose pattern was blooming clearly.

Rixus’ sharp blade pierced the center of the rose.

He looked at me emotionlessly, even as he took my life.
It felt like I was being strangled by the blue-purple eyes that were as deep and cold as hell.

If the dog on the floor of the market, which was hit and killed by a wagon, received a warmer gaze than this one… this death would be a little less lonely.

But shattering my expectations, he answered.

“Because you don’t deserve to live.”

It felt like the dry sentences he uttered wrapped around my heart and squeezed it out for a moment.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I was saddened.

It was unbelievable for a reason.

“Berylia Spinel, you are the worst human being that shouldn’t have existed in the first place.”

A low-pitched voice pierced through it as eerily as a sudden day.

“Even if you disappear, no one will be sad.”

It was true.
What he reminded me of made me even more terribly lonely and sick.

In the rising misery, I let out a sharp breath with blood.

And finally, the sword of Rixius completely pierced my body.
I swallowed the scream that erupted in an instant.

Was this kind of ending really the best?

This book would have a happy ending only when I die, but my life was so hard and lonely.

Therefore……

“I, too, want to live a worthy life.”

At the moment of death, I protested against him for the first time.

“I don’t want to live a miserable and lonely life, then die as your enemy…”

In an instant, a crack appeared on the face of Rixus, who had been terribly expressionless.
There were clear doubts in his eyes.

But now it was time to part.

I slowly lowered my trembling eyelashes.
The pain and consciousness of the body, which seemed to burn the whole body, faded away.

My name is Berylia Spinel.

The best villain in this novel and ‘that woman’ in the prophecy that would end the world.

This was my 7th death.

Would there be anything different in another life?

* * * 

My death was always the beginning.

As soon as I died, I returned to the first chapter of the novel again and again.

A mass-produced fantasy novel .

This novel was a typical story of a Munchkin protagonist who is born as a prince, loses his parents at a young age, overcomes all kinds of adversity, and eventually saves the world.
(TL/N: in Korean, ‘munchkin’ is a term for ‘overpowered character’.)

The birth of me, possessing the best villain in this novel, was quite plausible.

I was born as the youngest daughter of the ‘Spinel’ royal family.
On top of that, I have three older brothers, isn’t it a cliche you’ve seen a lot?

Yes.
If it was a romance novel, I would be the youngest daughter who would grow up only receiving love.

But, sadly, this novel was a wasteland of negative emotions, and my mother screamed as soon as she gave birth to me.

“I… gave birth to a cursed monster! Remove that from my eyes right now, ahhhh!”

The symbol of the Spinel royal family was bright red jewels, eyes like ‘Spinel’.

But my right eye was a milky-white eye that gathered light like a diamond.
It was an odd eye different from the one on the left.

The Spinel Kingdom had treated odd-eye as a symbol of ominousness since ancient times.

It was because of an anecdote related to Terosa, a rare villain with an odd eye in the distant past.
She was born humble, was dissatisfied with the country, and eventually slaughtered the entire royal family.

Since then, odd-eye has become a ‘symbol of bad luck’.

I wanted to explain that Terosa was Terosa, and that I was just me, but I couldn’t.

Because I was a baby

The royal family, who were concerned about the youngest daughter with an odd-eye, put the matter to a noble vote.

In the end, I was abandoned miserably without even being held in my mother’s arms once.

“Princess, please die.
For the sake of Spinel’s national luck, you must do so.”

A life in which death was forced upon you as soon as you were born.
Wasn’t it so freaking cool and cuddly?

Was there nothing I could do for the country except to die…?

I had been through those cruel words 7 times, but I grew up in a swampy area under the care of spirits.

It was like that until the age of 14.

My first steps, my first babbling, and my deep loneliness were all learned in that poison-infested swamp.

Was it really the curse of the odd-eye?

On the day of the crowning ceremony of the Crown Prince of the Spinel royal family, the rebellion of another prince broke out.
And the king, queen, and princes all died cheaply.

Spinel’s extinction in the Spinel Kingdom…

The nobles, tainted with the idea of pure blood, eventually came to the swamp.

So I ascended the throne.

‘After that, it’s the same.’

To eradicate the nobles who rebelled against me, and to become a monarch with unprecedented powerful kingship.
And then, living like a king…

One day, an oracle came down that said I would destroy the world.
And my horrible ending from this novel by a Munchkin male who had neither blood nor tears.

‘Now there are about two years left.’

At some point after the kingship was stabilized, the oracle came down.
And I was just about to stabilize the kingship.

‘I’m glad I still have the swe
