Stuck in a Time Loop: When All Else Fails, Be a Villainess

Selene Vixent has died nine times. In every life, she’s been betrayed by her fiancé, abused by her noble family, and laid low by an untimely end all because she was unable to awaken the power of Sun, a so-called protective gift passed down in her family. Yet Selene is determined to escape this cursed time loop and, after her ninth demise, abandons any further attempts to be a good girl. She awakens to the power of Shadow—seen as an ominous portent of misfortune—and fully embraces her new life as a villainess. But Selene’s dark path is about to take another strange turn when Dier Veldt, the former crown prince, reveals that he knows all about her time loop. He even offers his help, but under one condition: she must kill him in exchange. With her newfound villainy, can Selene break free of this endless time loop once and for all?

After awakening to the inauspicious power of Shadow, Selene Vixent is ready to break free of the endless time loop she’s been stuck in. She’s teamed with the former crown prince, Dier Veldt, and now they’re both working to find an escape from the restraints of their supernatural powers. Their first attempt was unsuccessful, and now an unexpected obstacle stands in their way—Selene’s sister, Soleil, has suddenly awakened to the power of Sun. Thus begins an intense family power struggle. Will Selene discover the key to seizing her future, or will she be stuck in this doomed cycle forever?

The primordial beasts hold the keys to supernatural powers, and with Selene and Dier leading the charge, four out of six of them have been defeated. Selene is now in a race against time to find and defeat the final two and absorb the monsters’ memories so she can discover the truth about the guardians’ powers before the others. Still, the nagging thought that the only way out of this scenario is by killing Euclis—the source of all these supernatural abilities—won’t leave her mind. Torn between her feelings for Dier, her fondness for Euclis, and a desire to end these hellish time loops, Selene faces her most difficult decision yet.
