Episode 0: Prologue
Mellory Rhiannon(MC)
📞: Hello?
Mellory Rhiannon(MC)
📞: Yes, Miss Lorelei? Yes, okay. I understand.
Mellory Rhiannon(MC)
📞: I'll start the work right away.
Miss Lorelei(Mallory's Boss)
📞: I will send you the details and the art style that i need you to use.
Mellory Rhiannon(MC)
📞: Yes, Miss Lorelei.
Miss Lorelei(Mallory's Boss)
📞: This project is very important to me, it can save you from debt, and get you and our company the recognition... Worldwide.
Mellory Rhiannon(MC)
📞: Understood. I'll give my best and make it as fun and unique as possible.
Miss Lorelei(Mallory's Boss)
📞: Oh, Mel... What will i do without you? Please start working immediately. We need to upload the first season panels on the Dashtoon by the end of this month.
Mellory Rhiannon(MC)
📞: But Miss Lorelei, i need to get the novel storyline first?
Miss Lorelei(Mallory's Boss)
📞: I'm SO sorry, Mel. But we're short on that particular thing, the storyboard artists are on hiatus, our rival company paid them to protest, but they communicated with me instead... They are demanding more payment revenues for writing even a short-story.
Mellory Rhiannon(MC)
📞: Oh, then? What should we do?
Miss Lorelei(Mallory's Boss)
📞: Mel, If you manage to write and illustrate the new comic-book, then... Then, you'll get promoted to the position of the management team, where your only job would be making sure that the staff are working properly.
Mellory Rhiannon(MC)
📞: How much money will i be paid?
Miss Lorelei(Mallory's Boss)
📞: You will be paid handsomely, do not hesitate, this is a once-in-a-lifetime offer. Don't back out. I know that you're in the need for money.
Mellory Rhiannon(MC)
📞: Okay, I'll take care of it. Just send me the art style inspiration. And I'll start right away.
Miss Lorelei(Mallory's Boss)
📞: Yes. I'm hanging up now.
*tooooottttt* The call cuts and Mellory starts to write the storyline.
A historical fantasy world where aristocrats rule like modern-day elites—scandals are managed through PR, wealth determines power, and noble houses function like corporations.
Technology exists, but it’s exclusive to the upper class. Ordinary citizens live in a more traditional, mediaeval-style society.
Magic is rare, reserved for the highest-ranking nobles, but it’s treated more like a genetic privilege—passed down through bloodlines, like an aristocratic “right.”
The Five Great Houses: The most powerful noble families, controlling politics, wealth, and even the monarchy from behind the scenes.
The Imperial Family: A figurehead monarchy—seen as divine rulers, but trapped by their own court. The Emperor/Empress is merely a puppet for the Great Houses.
Dukes & Duchesses: True power-holders, often wealthier than the royals.
Marquesses & Counts: Military and business leaders.
Viscounts & Barons: Low-tier nobles, often desperate to climb the ladder.
Commoners: Completely powerless, unless they marry into nobility or gain favor.
A twisted mix of AI, a god-like force, and something even creepier.
The AI-like aspect controls the “script” of the world—forcing people to follow predetermined roles.
The god-like force punishes those who try to break fate, ensuring that events happen as they “should.”
The creepy unknown element is something that even the system itself fears—an underlying force trying to wake up the world’s prisoners.
Key Character Profiles
1. The Villainess (MC) - "The Reclaimed Heiress"
Personality: Cold, calculating, and ruthless when necessary. But under her composed mask, she’s always analyzing everything.
Status: The daughter of one of the Five Great Houses—but originally a poor commoner, stolen at birth.
Goal: Take back her rightful identity, destroy her enemies, and uncover the system’s true nature.
Tactics: Plays the villainess role to perfection, turning fear into power. She manipulates both allies and enemies, always three steps ahead.
2. The Main Female Lead (True Enemy) - "The Chosen Saint"
Personality: Appears kind, pure, and beloved by all—but she’s terrifyingly good at deception.
Status: The supposed “heroine” of the world, backed by the system.
Goal: Keep the story on track—at any cost. If the MC doesn’t play her villainous role, the saint will ensure she does.
Hidden Truth: She’s aware that the world is a script, but instead of rebelling, she’s embraced it.
3. The Main Male Lead (Secret Enemy) - "The Perfect Prince"
Personality: Charismatic, intelligent, and adored by the masses—but he’s just as much a manipulator as the MC.
Status: The heir to the throne, but his power is limited by the Great Houses.
Goal: Secure absolute control—whether that means using the heroine or eliminating the villainess.
Hidden Truth: He’s playing his own game, pretending to love the saint while slowly crushing his enemies in the background.
4. The Mysterious Guide - "The Voice Beyond Fate"
Personality: Enigmatic, their words dripping with sarcasm and half-truths.
Status: A presence that exists outside the system—guiding the MC, but never directly interfering.
Goal: Unknown, but they seem invested in the MC’s survival.
Hidden Truth: They may have once been trapped in the script, just like her…

Mellory Rhiannon(MC)
Mother...I didn't do anything like that and I broke up with Wren a long time ago...!!!
Camellia Rhiannon(MC's step-mother)
You're a shame on your father's name, if word gets out, then you'll not be the only one facing the consequences, your father's name will also be in dirt...
