A few days passed.

Surprisingly, the school was normal.

Except for this nonsense:

3D Boy Fan Club Recruitment in Progress!

I was shaking my head while looking at the scrap of paper stuck to the bulletin board in front of the classroom when someone tapped my back and said,

“Ju-eun! Are you interested in the fan club too?”

As if.

I replied with a rotten look, “I just glanced at it.”

“Really? Aw, I was going to ask you to join with me if you were interested.”

“…”

If you like it so much, just join by yourself.

This damned school wouldn’t tolerate me not being interested in the Three Great Boys.

As if there was some quota, they somehow made me talk about the Three Great Boys at least once a day even if I just stayed still.

‘I’ll just respond appropriately and get out of here.’

I forced a smile and opened my mouth to chime in appropriately.

That’s when it happened.

“Hey, did you guys hear?”

Short Hair suddenly burst into the classroom and said.

For reference, she’s the friend who was passionately praising the Three Great Boys last time.

Her sparkling eyes already seemed ominous.

But maybe it could be a normal topic for once?

“The World Rank 0 has changed!”

Of course. How foolish of me to have even a little hope.

I maintained my rotten expression.

“And this time it’s a Korean! They say it’s someone our age too!”

“Really?”

“Who could it be?”

Don’t you really not see anything strange about this conversation?

‘World Rank 0’?

Is this person a UFC champion or something?

And who decides the world ranking in the first place? Do all the fighters in the world gather and have a face-off?

Of course, I never voice these cynical questions out loud. I’m the only one who finds this strange here.

In this world, even a Korean high school girl can become World Rank 0.

I don’t know how that’s possible, but anyway.

“Rumor has it that this World Rank 0 is the boss of the organization Blood.Flower!”

“The Blood Flower boss? The one shrouded in mystery?”

“Yeah. They say that person is super pretty and good at fighting!”

“I heard they named the organization Blood Flower because the boss’s face covered in blood after a fight was so beautiful!”

How do you, mere high school students, know so much about someone supposedly shrouded in mystery?

I’m even tired of being sarcastic now. At this point, I wonder if I’m the crazy one instead of this world.

…Maybe it’s better to just be the crazy person.

‘Forget it. Let’s just go.’

I slipped away quietly.

Anyway.

At this time, the new World Rank 0 was obvious.

‘Seol Yu-hwa.’

The protagonist of this world.

Seol Yu-hwa was currently in the process of conquering the world.

The original story begins when Seol Yu-hwa is 18 years old, which is a year from now.

‘A blessing in disguise.’

Having a year left was very good news.

It means I have time to prepare to turn this damn novel into a happy ending.

‘To do that, I need to avoid my bad ending first.’

After all, I need to be alive to see the true happy ending or not.

I clenched my fist and made a resolution.

‘I will definitely avoid the 8-week injury ending.’

Yes, 8 weeks of injury.

That oddly specific number induced fear.

After possessing this body, the first thing I searched on the internet was “8 weeks of injury.”

The first thing I saw was a post about having steel pins inserted in the face.

Orbital fracture, steel pin insertion, damage to two molars. At this point, settlement money is not the issue.

I absolutely did not want to get beaten up…

No… I just don’t want to get hit.

I glared at the self-proclaimed angel with salty eyes and returned to my seat.

‘So the first thing I need to do is not become a ‘villain’s lackey’.’

I glanced back.

First row, last seat by the window. That’s where the original villain ‘Yoo Hee-na’ was.

In the original story, ‘Lee Ju-eun’ played the role of chiming in beside Yoo Hee-na while bullying the female protagonist.

In other words, if I just don’t get involved with Yoo Hee-na, I can escape the ‘villain’ role.

‘Okay, let’s avoid Yoo Hee-na for now. Then I probably won’t die.’

I don’t know why I’m worried about my life in a modern setting that’s not even a hunter story… but I was quite serious.

Anyway, I’ve solved the urgent matter for now.

‘Let’s take this opportunity to think about future plans.’

I took out a notebook from my desk drawer and opened it randomly.

Then I scribbled down words as I recalled the original story.

In my opinion, there are two main ways I can intervene in the original story as an extra to change the ending:

First, remove the cause of conflict before the original story begins.

Second, reform the villains.

There’s also the method of stealing all the female lead’s flags and then acting confused like “Strange. Why does the male lead like me?”… but my mission isn’t to become the female lead. And I definitely don’t want to do that in this world setting, so I’ll skip that.

I pondered deeply about the contents of the original story.

‘First, removing the cause.’

This was simple. Just prevent Seol Yu-hwa from coming to this school.

‘But how?’

The best way would be to prevent Seol Yu-hwa’s younger sister, Seol Yu-bin, from committing suicide.

But there was a problem with this.

‘Actually, that sister didn’t really commit suicide.’

That’s right. This trashy makjang novel has a twist at the end where the sister who was thought to be dead suddenly appears as the final boss.

The fact that there was a suicide note but no body was found was foreshadowing.

Surprisingly, even this novel had foreshadowing!

‘It was all planned by the younger sister who felt inferior to her older sister.’

To explain in detail, it goes like this:

The Seol Yu-hwa and Seol Yu-bin sisters had a childhood friend. This childhood friend’s name was Ji Seung-hyun, and he played the role of the second male lead in this novel.

Ji Seung-hyun, as befitting a second male lead, liked the female lead Seol Yu-hwa.

But tragically, the older sister Seol Yu-hwa did not like Ji Seung-hyun.

And even more tragically, the younger sister Seol Yu-bin liked Ji Seung-hyun.

Thus, a hellish triangle was formed.

‘Because of that, Seol Yu-bin started to feel inferior to her sister.’

Seol Yu-bin did everything she could to get Ji Seung-hyun’s attention, but he didn’t even glance at her.

Jealousy and envy grew day by day, and finally, it crossed the limit and exploded.

The result was the suicide incident.

In short, it was attention-seeking!

‘At first, it was just to get Ji Seung-hyun’s attention, but later she tried to harm her sister.’

In the original story, Seol Yu-bin suddenly appears at the end and reveals that she was the mastermind.

Seol Yu-hwa is greatly shocked by this fact, and while arguing with Seol Yu-bin, she spouts various protagonist-like lines.

After that, Seol Yu-hwa gets hit by a truck that suddenly rushes in instead of Seol Yu-bin and falls into a coma, and the second male lead who suddenly becomes terminally ill donates his corneas to the female lead and passes away… but let’s talk about this story later.

‘Hmm, then should I try to set up Seol Yu-bin and Ji Seung-hyun?’

If they become a couple, this mess wouldn’t happen in the first place.

But how do I set them up?

‘I’ll need to think about this more.’

Pass for now.

Then how about the second option?

Reforming the villain. That is, reforming Seol Yu-bin, who is the mastermind.

This is essentially the same as option 1.

If Seol Yu-bin’s inferiority complex disappears, she won’t create such an enormous incident.

If we reform the mastermind, we can remove the cause before the original story begins.

‘Then I guess I need to meet Seol Yu-bin after all.’

Both methods led to the same conclusion.

Approach the mastermind and twist the original story so that bad things don’t happen in the first place.

Well, thinking about it, it’s only natural.

Isn’t that how most possession stories go?

They approach the villain in advance to make them good so they don’t do bad things, but later both the villain and the male lead end up falling for the extra…

Oh?

‘What if that happens to me later?’

There’s a saying about counting your chickens before they hatch, and this is probably when you use it.

But as a seasoned reader of countless possession stories, this was a major issue that couldn’t be overlooked.

‘I’m not mentally prepared for this yet… Should I accept the fate of a possessed person?’

While I was lost in these ridiculous thoughts,

Suddenly, someone’s shout was heard from outside the window.

“Je-il High’s head, come out!”

What? What head?

I couldn’t believe my ears at this unbelievable choice of words.

The loud voice echoed throughout the school.

I reflexively looked out the window.

‘What’s that?’

In front of the school gate, a bunch of people wearing uniforms from another school were gathered.

The owner of the voice seemed to be the person standing at the very front.

Motorcycles, steel pipes, wooden sticks, and disheveled uniforms.

I could roughly guess what kind of guys they were.

“Not coming out? If you don’t come out by the count of three, I’m going in!”

It was dismissal time, so there were a lot of people near the school gate. Passing students started to gather around the gate, murmuring.

After a moment.

Like the parting of the Red Sea, the onlookers split to the sides, and three men walked down the middle.

“Kyaaaaaah! It’s the Three Great Boys! Ji-chan! Ha-min! Jin!”

…Ah.

‘I should have gone home quickly.’

It was my mistake for letting my guard down thinking the original story hadn’t started yet.

This is a neighborhood where such events can happen regardless of the original story.

While I was suffering alone, the Three Great Boys finally arrived at the school gate.

The man at the very front spat and said coldly,

“…Are you this school’s head? Our Porkers wants to see you.”

Sung Ji-chan responded, not backing down.

“Hmph, and if I refuse?”

?

Strange. I feel like there was a word that shouldn’t have been there… Before I could come to my senses, the conversation continued.

“Ha, you brat. How cute. Is this the man who took down Kang Seung-hwan, ranked 7th nationally?”

??

“Well, even if that’s not the case, I’m an ex.traor.di.nary person by nature.”

???

“Tsk. Arrogant punk, I’ll fix your attitude soon enough.”

“Heh… Looking forward to it.”

????

Oh my, didn’t I just hear something incredible?

I’m sure I had something to say at first… but by this point, I don’t really care anymore.

I guess it’s better for extras to know their place. I was too presumptuous earlier.

Me, a main character? What nonsense.

I smiled a enlightened smile as I looked at the delinquent friends.

Yes, let’s leave the original story to the protagonists. That person is not someone I can dare to challenge.

I humbly decided to accept my position.

I’ll just focus on reforming the villain.

I absolutely must not get involved with those guys.
