In Heroes of Cartea, the Gods send seven deadly trials to test humanity, unleashing dark beasts and dungeons born from black mana. The Hero, driven mad after killing the woman he loved—only to discover she was a demon's puppet—spirals into despair. Emilia, a seasoned gamer, wakes up in this brutal world, inhabiting the body of a noble at the Academy, one of 13 Saintess candidates. No matter the path she takes, she's doomed to die—whether as a villainess, a tragic side character, or a mere extra. Each time she reveals a piece of the future, her body weakens, yet death never claims her. Adelaide, the female lead and Emilia's adopted sister, becomes the center of rumors, accusing Emilia of jealousy and cruelty. Raphael, their half-brother, begins to turn against Adelaide in disgust. He once never harmed her, but now he looks at her as a "disgusting monster." Meanwhile, the true male lead—Adelaide's former fiancé and the Hero, Noah Denovian—clings desperately to Emilia’s fate. Falling to his knees, he pleads, "I’ll destroy everything—humans, all of it—just don’t leave me." All Emilia wants is to survive, prevent the Great War, and find her way back home. But with the story unraveling, can she escape her fate?

Without any supernatural powers or sacred blessings, he stands as an outcast in a society that venerates such gifts.

"Seems like you had too much to drink last night," he remarked in that condescending tone he always used with me. I looked up at him as he stood watching me from the doorway with his attitude of superiority. In that moment of weakness, I actually tried to plead with him. "Please.
