After a few hours, I finally decided to go outside for a break to take a stroll in the garden and get some fresh air to expel the fancy smell that was coming off of all these dresses.

I decided to tie up my hair and grab a book and pen before going to the garden to sort out my thoughts about this place and think of ways to get back to earth cause there was no way in hell I was going to continue living in this crappy game.

I would rather peel my own skin off and dive into vinegar. And I mean that.

I left my room and began looking around the garden which was actually quite isolated for how beautiful it was. I found a nice spot under a willow tree and plopped down on the grass as I opened the book and began writing my thoughts in it.

So, I'm in a world of a game as the villainesses. There are eight male interests whose love count I have to get to 100 to win the game- Hold on.

'How do I know where to find their love count...?' I began thinking back to all the events that happened today and everything I already knew about the game.

"Ah..." I remember that you had to touch one of the male leads in the game for their love count to appear.

When Luden grabbed my arm before I think I saw a number appear on the side of his neck but I wasn't really paying attention to it so I'm not really sure.

I've been told many times that I am half-blind and can't ever find anything that's right in front of my eyes which just makes this all the more irritating.

Their love count would usually appear as a short of colored tattoo in a box on the side of their necks and the box's color would change depending on the percentage of how much they love you.

If their love count ever reaches zero, the bubble will be black which means I can and probably will die.

And if it's between 1-20 percentages it'll become gray which means I gotta be careful and might still die. If it gets from 20-30 percentages it'll be very light pink, and so on it will continue.

So I basically just have to find one of those bastards and somehow touch their hand or face or something.

'Now to figure out how I'm supposed to do that...' I shut my notebook and began thinking of several ways to test my theory.

I could try to "accidentally" trip and grab their arm or shoulder to balance or just straight-up bump into them...

But.

According to what's already happened in the game... That might not be the best idea. And I might also push their percentages to the negative by doing that so let's cross that out.

"Tsk." I couldn't help but click my tongue in annoyance since literally anything Sovine ever did got her killed as I sighed rubbing my temple when I suddenly heard a groan come from the branch above me.

"Don't "Ugh!" me, I also got- Wait, who?" I snapped my head to the branch of the tree above me to see a boy with breezy short silver hair similar to Avis's with a braid on the side and instantly knew it was my third step-brother who was also the youngest one, Vidoro Divinus.

'Oh my godddddddddd! He's so fucking cuteeeeeee!! No, my heart. He's still a bitch. Stop.'

"What the hell are you doing up there?" I immediately shut my book to prevent him from seeing the information inside it.

"Why the hell are you disturbing someone who's taking a nap?" He didn't even look at me and continued lying on his back with his hands cushioning his head on the branch.

"Hurry up and get down here, you're gonna fall." I stood up from where I was sitting.

"Why don't you-" Vidoro finally looked back at me and immediately cut himself off as his eyes widened in surprise.

"What are you wearing-" He turned his whole body towards me as he propped himself up on his elbow on the branch when he suddenly slipped and missed the branch.

"Ah!" Vidoro yelped as he tumbled and fell off the branch.

Fortunately for him, since I was standing right under him, and turns out Sovine had some really good reflexes, I somehow managed to grab his waist just before he hit the ground.

But then ended up accidentally elbowing his jaw and dropping him as well when he screamed but hey, at least he didn't die.

"This is why you listen to your elders." I pulled him to his feet as he glared at me.

"Not if she's a lunatic who can't ever act decently around others for a change." The brat immediately snatched his arm away from me.

"And what is that thing you're wearing?" He pointed an accusing finger at my gown as I raised a brow him in confusion.

"Clothes." I replied unfazed by his comment which seemed to have thrown him off a bit.

"Well, I already know that Einstein." Vidoro rolled his eyes turning back to me with his usual glare.

'People knew Einstein in this time period?' It would be an understatement to say that I wasn't exactly the best at history considering how my history teacher almost quit her job because of me.

"I'm asking why is it so plain and... Decent?" Vidoro continued asking.

"Because it looks better this way." I replied but then almost bursted out laughing seeing Vidoro's dumb-founded face yet somehow managed to hold it back.

"It what?" The poor guy couldn't believe what he had just heard but you couldn't really blame him since Sovine was widely known for always being covered in lavish, revealing gowns and rare, exquisite jewelry and was never seen in such simple clothing.

"It looks better this way." I repeated myself turning my back to him as I began walking away.

"Now then, if you'll excuse me I have work to do." I quickly excused myself to spare the poor kid the embarrassment of being laughed in the face because of how surprised he looked after hearing me say that something plain looked better than something with more than a dozen high quality gems.

As I was walking back to my room I suddenly saw Vidoro teleport in front of my room's door with a magic circle after finally getting over the shock of seeing me wear some proper decent clothes.

'Oh, yeah. He was the genius son of the Divinus household who specialized in magic and spells.' I noted as he swung the door to my room open though I wasn't even in there.

'Cutie.'

"What?" I decided to make my presence known anyway though he would've figured out I was here soon or later anyway as I walked up behind him causing him to slightly jump for some reason.

"Don't sneak up on me like that!" Vidoro frowned turning to me.

'Still bitchy though.'

"I walked up to you, you just didn't notice me." I corrected him maintaining my poker face.

I know that doing this might get me killed since the villainess liter died just for holding a spoon or a pencil the "wrong way" but hey. I did say I would rather peel my own skin off and jump into vinegar than stay in this game.

"It seems-" Vidoro suddenly froze once his eyes wandered off to see what was inside my room.

"What is this...?" He pointed at the pile of gems, beads, dress layers, etc. that were just lying on the floor.

"Oh, that? I was fixing up some gowns." I answered as Vidoro then began staring at me as if I was the spawn of a pirana and unicorn's love child.

"Uh... Well, have a nice day. I've got work to do." I excused myself as I attempted to escape the awkward atmosphere by escaping back into the room when he suddenly grabbed my hand and teleported me to some other room.

"Hey! What are you-" "Wrong room." Vidoro cut me off and once again teleported me to another room, and then another room, and then another room, and another, and another... And many more rooms since.

We even managed to run into Luden who was bathing at the moment. Thank god Vidoro managed to teleport us away before I could see his lower half and be scarred for life.

But honestly, I was surprised at how muscular that guy was though the game had already told us about his abs in very detailed manner... It was honestly very uncomfortable, but I get that it was fan service.

'WHY ARE ALL THE HOT ONES ALWAYS THE TRASHIEST?!'

Now, I would've started fangirling after seeing all of his toned abs like usual but after what he did this morning, I couldn't bring myself to even if I tried. Despite the fact that Luden was one of my favorite characters in the game.

AND I COULDN'T EVEN PULL MY HAND OUT OF THIS LITTLE MENACE'S GRIP CAUSE HE WAS TELEPORTING SO FAST THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE I'D END UP IF I DID LET GO!

I expected to be dizzy after all that teleporting but I surprisingly wasn't, guess Sovine was used to being dragged around like this so her body didn't react much to it anymore. Vidoro then finally stopped teleporting when we reached the training ground where Avis was training alone.

"Brother!" Vidoro called out to Avis dragging me along with him as he marched up to him.

"Eh?" Avis looked back at us raising a brow when he saw Vidoro dragging me towards him.

"Vidoro, what are you-" "Brother, we need a physician here right now." Vidoro cut Avis off grasping both his hands in his after finally letting go of my arm while speaking in a serious tone.

And now I was also dizzy.

"What did you do now?" Avis turned to me with a sigh.

"She piled up all her gowns and sewed them in something human!" Vidoro spoke up before me causing Avis freeze in shock with just that one sentence.

'What the hell is that even supposed to mean?'

"SHE WHAT?!!" Avis screeched dropping his sword in shock as his voice echoed through the training ground.

'To be honest. I'm not surprised.'

By the time the two had turned back to me after discussing whatever nonsense they were discussing, I was gone.

However it was already dinner time so they didn't bother looking for me either while some maids left my dinner outside my room as usual.

The first week I came here I wasn't aware that the maids would either leave my meals outside the door to my room or the kitchen or how the chef sometimes might not even prepare a meal for me since he found it too bothersome and if he did it probably wouldn't even be a proper meal and most of the time would be a sandwich or something so I basically just starved that day but I honestly didn't mind cause one.

I was too busy trying to fix all those dresses and fretting over this game and the situation I'm currently in to even notice. And two.

I had already died many times in the game from being poisoned by these guys and had recently found some poison in my food by using a silver pin that Sovine always carried with her just to be safe. And today also, I had once again found poison in my food.

"If only I could sue these bastards for this..." I grumbled under my breath knowing full well that those other three and the dad of theirs wouldn't let me anyway.

This all felt so exaggerated in the game, but no that I was experiencing it myself. It felt even more fake, who would casually serve a noble lady poisoned food every other day? And how did Sovine not die from it already? 

Knowing the brothers and the duke, they probably never even called a doctor for her when she got poisoned and they must've simply disregarded it as her "seeking attention" again so they probably didn't even know about this. And if they did. That's even worse!

'Just what kind of rumors did those brothers spread about Sovine for the servants to hate her this much...?' I sweat-dropped playing with the poisoned food with the silver needle from boredom.

"Honestly though... Do the people in this house seriously not notice that the people working for them are trying to literally poison me every other day or are they just ignoring it on purpose?" I grumbled under my breath throwing the poisoned food out.

"Hah. What am I even saying? They probably told the servants to give me this in the first place." I scoffed and sat back down on the table to continue trying to make sense of this whole situation and find a way to survive and get back to my original world.

Though it was honestly such a shame since the food they served to Sovine was honestly the only thing I was looking forward to after coming here.

I thought that Sovine's lived in a grand duke's mansion and which meant that she would at the very least be served good food here but after seeing what they were serving her my reaction was, "Oh. Well... Damn."

Either way.

So what I knew right now was that I was in a game. As the villainess. Who later had her body burned and soul entrapped in eternal darkness and pain by the master of the magic tower as a punishment for trying to kill the grand duke's, aka my current step-father's real daughter.

'Honestly, thinking about all this now... It makes absolutely no sense. Sovine got executed for trying to kill the dukes real daughter but here she is getting poison in her food every other day.' All my brain was thinking right now was "WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?!"

Which was stupid cause the villainess never really gets any justice which just irritated me even more.

'All she ever wanted was her families affection! Is that too much to ask for?! She went through so much for those bastards and in the end she just committed suicide herself and got me stuck here in her body!' I felt my frustration begin to build at this bizarre life Sovine led.

"She deserved so much better! This was honestly all those bastard's fault, they couldn't accept losing their mother and sister and decided to cope with it by blaming it on Sovine and, ruining her entire life!"

"Petty bastards! All of them! Even after all these years they still haven't grown up in the slightest and still blame Sovine for the duchess's death!"

At this point I wasn't even trying to be quiet but it didn't even matter since Luden had once casted some magic on this room to make it soundproof so he wouldn't have to listen to Sovine's endless complaints on how the servants hate her and want to kill her which he called "lies".

"Ugh. I gotta stop ranting about useless things and focus on getting out of here first..." I sighed realizing that if I didn't focus on the matter in hand and get out of this game now I will have to suffer the same fate Sovine did.

'Let's see... So before I transmigrated into this body I was in a bus...' I began writing down however much I could remember of what happened on paper and almost gave up halfway cause I hated writing.

I was on the bus playing this cursed game while I was going home from my college when the bus crashed.

...

And that's all that I can remember happening before I woke up here.

Now there are two possible scenarios that might've taken place here. One, I died. Or two, which is the one I really hope happened but most probably didn't happen, someone else called the police after he left and my body was currently at some hospital in a coma.

Now I could always try and probably fail to survive in this strange fantasy world as the villainess or...

Since there is still a 000000.1% chance that I was still alive and currently just in a coma I could try to jump off the balcony and into the magic pool or whatever that thing outside my window is called just like the original Sovine did the night before I transmigrated here and die!

Then wake up in my hospital bed, recover from my trauma of seeing Luden's naked upper body, murder Maki along with whoever the hell made this damn game, and go home.

But I really don't want to experience the pain of dying again and I imagine jumping off the balcony would be very painful...

But then again! Sovine's the villainess of this game so I'm gonna die anyway even if I don't jump. And compared to how Sovine was executed and trapped in eternal darkness and pain by the master of the magic tower...

Jumping off the balcony.

Falling into the magic pool thingy.

And then finally drowning to my death is nothing!

"Let's get this over with!" I got up and began walking to the balcony.

"Damn, this is higher up than I thought..." I looked over to see just how far down the ground was before sighing and climbing onto the balcony.

'Here goes nothing!' I took a step forward and let gravity do its thing.

-----

That's what I said three days ago.

And here I am still dealing with these assholes' B.S. I was currently getting lectured by Luden for teleporting around the house when I had no right to which eventually led to me accidentally barging into him while he was bathing even though it wasn't even me but it's not like he would believe me if I had said that.

And then he turned to the gown I was wearing. Which was a maxi violent flower embroidery tulle gown with a corset long spaghetti strap fairy ruched and began saying about how I must've been wasting money again but I, of course, ignored him since what he was wearing probably cost 3x more than this dress anyway.

He was wearing a white tuxedo suit with a full-shoulder design and a slim cut with 3D draping and a slim fit suit that was a little tighter than a regular fit suit. I get that he's noble and all but seriously, isn't this a bit too much?

Well... Considering Sovine's taste... Maybe not.

I don't know what this game has against me but that night when I jumped off the balcony. I know that I definitely felt the unmistakable pain of death but when I opened my eyes again after doing so.

My vision was blurry and I was still in pain, however, I was still alive... And my body was also already healing, but it still gutted like hell regardless.

I tried again a few more times but the same event occurred repeatedly no matter what method I tried. So In the end I just got sick and tired of dying over and over again and trashed that plan so now I'm stuck trying to find a way to get back to my original world again.

Luden eventually shut his mouth and left the room when he realized that I wasn't even listening sparing my poor eyes and ears from his existence while doing so.

The poor guy just couldn't believe that the same Sovine Divinis who had always spent all her time and energy chasing after her step-family's love and affection was suddenly acting so indifferently to whatever he said or did.

But that was Sovine, not me. And I seriously hated that dude and hated seeing girls always swooning over him even more. So what if he's hot? He's still an immature bastard who only acts all prime and proper to keep his reputation intact.

And yes I was holding a grudge over that slap. I took it personally.

But I wasn't going to waste my time cursing him out since I had much better things to do. Like find out how to somehow get out of this damn game.

'So, now I know that I can't just die myself... But, maybe someone else can kill me...' The villainess usually either died at the hands of the heroine or one of the male interests...

'So all I have to do is get one of those bastards to kill me!' I immediately jolted up from my seat raising my hands above my head in a "Hurray!" motion.

'Well, then! Let's go find them!' I was sure that none of the brothers refuse to
