Chapter 01
When the system pulled me in,
the villain who threatened the stability of the entire world line
was already thirty-four years old—
and had a ten-year-old son.
I woke from a deep, dreamless sleep.
No memories. No past.
All I knew was what the system told me:
My name is Clara Xu, and I'm twenty-three.
That, and one more thing—
The villain is dangerously unstable.
The system warned me not to end up like the others:
those previous "invaders" who entered this world…
and died almost immediately.
His name is Jason Quinn.
He stands at the pinnacle of power and wealth.
Cruel. Cold. Unforgiving.
Like a beast always on the verge of snapping.
The only sliver of humanity left in him?
His young son.
I looked at my reflection in the mirror for a long time.
Finally, I whispered:
"I don't think I have anything special that could ever move a man like that."
The system said nothing at first.
Then, after a long silence, it finally spoke—
a strange, unreadable tone in its voice:
"You are the last chance. If even you can't—"
It stopped itself.
Then said firmly,
"No. You will succeed."
