Slandered, maimed, poisoned... Penelope has gone to hell and back trying to escape from this damned game world. And just when she thought she finally found her way out through death, the system chews her up and spits her back out onto the hidden route.

Affection meters are gone, and all that separates Laila from achieving world destruction is a mirror fragment—if Penelope doesn’t find a way to beat the monster now, there are no more second chances. But all hope is not lost. Ivonne’s innocent charade isn’t fooling everyone, and with Callisto steadfastly fighting beside his future crown princess, Penelope is no longer alone.

As the heroine and villain circle each other, it’s do-or-die... and a happy ending may just be within reach.

Villains Are Destined to Die (novel), Vol. 4 by Gwon Gyeoeul invites you to delve deeper into this thrilling saga.
