There are times when I feel tired of being myself. I want to spin the wheel of fate.

'A second chance, rebirth.'

Become a dream character steals life of others. I'm not a hero but a villain who wants a happy ending, even if it's impossible.

****

Lightning flashed in the sky.Strong wind caused trees to shift, blow dry leaves and twigs, make a creepy rustling noise. The ground had started to slide as the rain fell fiercely, pooling over it and sending rocks and mud down.

On that stormy night, a woman in a wearing worn-out green dress entered the trail leading up steep hill.

The woman didn't care that her clothing were sopping wet from the downpour or that her body was already trembling from cold. She don't care that she looked pitiful. Her feet were scuffed, her hair was matted, her dress was torn in several places, her hair was matted and her eyes were red with tears and weak sobs.

That woman is Jane Carter...

The poor woman, who wanted a new life, was reborn with a different fate. She's determined to meet the devil who lives in forbidden temple on top of the hill. Changing her soul to become the character she dreams of being.

Duchess Irina Theodora ....

She's perfect woman who has everything Beauty, elegant, wealth, a respectable and honorable family, as well powerful and handsome husband-Duke Isaac Theodora.

While Jane is just an ordinary woman, a low-ranking noble, whose family still depends on more powerful nobles.

Since their first meeting during their high-class debut in the palace, Jane has been paying close attention to Duchess Irina, who was once the daughter of Marquess Anthony Grayson—Lady Irina Grayson. Her beauty was like that of an angel, her black hair glistening in the candlelight. Jane is often jealous and insecure because of all her perfection.

Other noble ladies are eager to follow Lady Irina. Her mother was a close relative of the queen, and her father served as this kingdom's prime minister. She was born with a diamond spoon in her hand.

The peak is when they are adults. Jane is engaged to one of her distant relatives, political marriage as it should be. Meanwhile, Lady Irina married the most handsome and attractive and influential man in the palace ​after the king- Duke Isaac Theodora.

Jane don't have problem with Duke Theodora. She didn't really know man who the ladies always talked about when they got together. But, was really irritated her of Lady Irina who had always been fortunate.

Jane's angry. She considers life to be unjust. On the one hand, there are people who must work hard to achieve their goals, and on the other, there are who can get anything simply moving a finger.

Her admiration evolved became resentment.

Things got worse when Jene's family ran into difficulty and was found guilty of being part of covert organization with rebellious intentions. She will be executed together with her family. A tragic ending to her bad life.

But she didn't want to just die. Desperately, here she is. The last hope thing that could save her life from the gallows.

"A little more," she cried.

An old building with stone walls covered in moss and vines stood on top of the hill, surrounded dense stands of trees, the door rising high, ornamented carvings hidden behind heavy dust and cobwebs.

Jane took a brief break. She inhaled deeply. She entered despite fact that her legs had been trembling erratically for some time. The door had opened on its own, exposing a dark image of the room within the shrine.

There's nothing strange about it. It was just a large room, with dull walls and old candles that burned as soon as she passed.

Jene stood in middle of the room, staring straight ahead, her body shivering violently, almost giving up if she didn't remember her bitter life so far. She was determined to make a forbidden agreement with the devil in this shrine.

Jane injured her own hand, allows the blood to drip. Then, to call the devil she make a circle. The lady sat in the middle, her eyes closed.

The candles were put out at same time a stronger wind. The room became darkened instantly.

There were faint sounds of footsteps and fabric rubbing against one another in the air. Jene turned to the side, no one was there, even though she detect smelled another scent in the room.

Jane bit her lip. Her hands trembled with fear.

"I-I want to make a wish," Jene exclaimed loudly. Her voice trembled. "I want to exchange fate for my soul. Please help me."

Even though there was no movement, she was sure that the 'devil' figure was nearby.

"Help me. I'm desperate for my life. I want a second chance to choose wheel of fate a better destiny. "

Born as a child of gold, wealth, and beauty. Like Lady Irina.

"What do you offer in exchange."

Degh..

Jane settled forward. However, she could only find darkness in the area where heavy, raspy voice was coming from.

"I-I..." she stammered, unable to form the right sentence with her stiff tongue.

"What do you offer in exchange, stupid human?" He asked again.

Jane held her trembling hand together. Before speaking up, she tried to gulp down her saliva.

"I-I will exchange my soul for the master's. Because of that, for me to be reborn as Lady Irina, I want to live like her. "

Her life will not be happy if she is still united as the daughter of a baron, low-noble. Moreover, there was no future for her. because her death was already determined to be on the gallows immediately.

The devil was silent for a moment before he burst out laughing.

"Lady Irina? The wife of Duke Theodora. You've really made a unique decision."

"But do you know the lady well? What you see is not always true."

"Yes, I sure."

"It's Interesting," he continued. "Are you sure you're asking me for help?"

"I'm sure. You're my only hope for freedom from the gallows. "

"One day you'll regret it."
