Chapter 1: My First Day at the Academy Approaches!


I am Katarina Claes, daughter of Duke Claes and heir to the Claes family. When I was eight years old, I hit my head on a rock and suddenly realized that I had been reborn into the world ofFortune Lover, the otome game that I was playing before my untimely death.

In fact, I happen to be the main antagonist of the game. Katarina Claes is supposed to be a villainous noble lady who gets in the protagonist’s way and bullies her. At the end of the game, her fate is to either be exiled from the kingdom or meet a gruesome end at the hands of the protagonist’s love interest — nothing but bad endings!

Naturally I don’t want to get killed! But getting exiled from the kingdom wouldn’t leave me with much chance of survival either. It’s so unfair! After my early death in my previous life, I want to live to a ripe old age this time, spending my golden years with a cat on my lap as I elegantly bask in the sun! I don’t want to be involved in these social politics of love and intrigue, much less get killed by them! No matter what, I am determined to overcome these Catastrophic Bad Ends and live a long, peaceful life!

So I’ve made some plans in case those things happen. If I get exiled, I’ll use my magical abilities to earn a living. From what I remember, magical aptitude is rare outside of my kingdom. Or if Jeord comes at me with a sword, I’ll use my highly realistic projectile snake to terrorize him, since he hates snakes. Then I’d use that opening to dodge his attacks.

And so I’ve tried my best to improve my magic, while at the same time constantly refining the appearance of my projectile snakes with the help of the head gardener, Grandpa Tom. I’ve also started taking my swordplay training more seriously, so I can hold my own if I’m ever attacked.

Another person I have to deal with is Katarina’s adopted brother, Keith Claes. He could also brin
