Yumiella’s past life was that of an introverted college student and avid gamer. Her determination to evade the clutches of the protagonists and secure a tranquil existence fuels her resolve in this new reality.
All she yearns for is a serene and uneventful life, but her innate gamer instincts compel her to embrace her astounding stats. Thus, she embarks on a journey to maximize her level, reaching the pinnacle at level 99. However, the unintended consequence of her power surge is the misconstrued belief that she’s the malevolent Demon Lord. Can this overpowered villainess reclaim the peace she has always craved?
