I Became a Side Character Just to Steal the Hero’s Wife
Verne died once as a nobody, powerless and forgotten. Reborn into the story of Eldoria, he remembers everything, the paths of the hero, the moves of the powerful, and the cracks in the relationships around him.
The hero is destined for fame, the people will follow him, and Selene, the influential noblewoman, will inevitably become his ally, or so the story says. But Verne has no intention of following the script.
Cunning, observant, and patient, he steps quietly into the shadows, learning, planning, and exploiting the gaps in the story. He is not infatuated, not yet. He seeks opportunity, survival, and the chance to finally matter.
But the closer he gets to the heart of the story, the more complicated it becomes. Selene is not just a prize, she is sharp, capable, and aware of the world around her. And as Verne’s subtle strategies begin to affect the story, an unexpected connection forms between them, challenging both their paths and their fates.
