Synopsis
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills.
[Volume 1]
I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognize at first.
You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. He had half a dozen kids, give or take, with me ranking somewhere in the middle.
You'd think with magic skills - high-ranking at that - and money, I'd have everything I'd ever wanted and could live a fun and relaxed life as long as I stayed under the radar of the unstable cast of the novel? But no, between monster attacks, cultists, and global conspiracies I quickly found myself in need of an ally. But who would be naive enough to help out a stranger, all while having enough knowledge about the world? A child raised by the abovementioned conspirators, perhaps?
[Volume 2] - Currently Airing
It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable.
But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush.
With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make.
