Surviving the Haunted Realm: The Support Ace Is Sweet on the Outside, Dark Within

Blurb:

Lin Wu died a brutal death.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the time before the eerie realm descended...

After being reborn, Lin Wu realized that being cautious and keeping her head down didn't necessarily keep her alive, and doing whatever she pleased didn't necessarily mean she'd die sooner!

So this time, she decided to do whatever made her happy.

But from the start, she unexpectedly drew an all-support talent set. Lin Wu was bewildered for a moment, but that was all right. A support who can't fight isn't a good marksman!

She tore apart eerie creatures, beat monstrous beasts to a pulp, raised mystical pets and battle beasts, and made a mobile safe haven her home wherever she went. If the heavens wouldn't give her combat talents, then she'd turn herself into a divine weapon!

Lin Wu never hid her ambition. As long as she could grow stronger, she had no scruples. Using others to achieve her goals was just standard practice. Her conscience had been eaten in her previous life anyway.

She'd originally ventured through dungeons with just a bird for company, stirring up chaos throughout the eerie realm. But before long, more and more living things had gathered around her. Humans and beasts were one thing, but what were eerie creatures doing there?

One of the world's ten most notorious high-risk eerie realms, the Asura Realm, had a wandering Boss who often roamed human settlements without attacking anyone, seemingly searching for something. Then one day, Lin Wu, fleeing from eerie creatures, stepped into the Asura Realm...

The Asura King, Boss of the Asura dungeon, was powerful and terrifying, surrounded by black mist. No one knew what he looked like, but Lin Wu knew that face. She had dreamed of it countless times.

People are ultimately imprisoned for life by the things they couldn't have in their youth. What Lin Wu couldn't have was love.

But after dying once, Lin Wu finally came to her senses. Love or no love, she had to survive first.

To survive in this world, she had to grow stronger. She needed to be stronger than the eerie creatures and people around her, at least, if she wanted to stay alive!

So Lin Wu let herself go completely, kicked monstrous beasts and tore eerie creatures apart. After regaining her memories, she went even further and dragged her former crush, who had become an eerie creature Lord, straight into bed.

What does it matter if the boy who once slew the dragon becomes a dragon himself? The real spectacle is when a princess fights back from the brink and slays the dragon to claim the throne!

But something went wrong along the way. The princess who had become a dragon claimed the knight for herself.

But the knight had come only for the princess. He fought through every obstacle, ruthless and merciless, until she sat high upon the throne. Yet she was no frail princess. She was a god who had fallen into the dust.

This is a story about a madwoman who suffered at the hands of eerie creatures in her previous life, returned to take revenge, and was ultimately healed by a powerful man who had become an eerie Boss...

You could say they're both beautiful and tragic in their own ways: a biased, obsessive female lead who's not quite right in any respect, and a fatherly eerie creature boyfriend determined to guide her back to the right path. You deserve this.

※Fictional setting. Please don't compare it to reality!!!

※Content warnings:

1. The female lead is self-interested, a lone wolf with no permanent team, though she briefly teams up with others. She is reborn to take revenge, decisive and ruthless, and quite cold and indifferent early on. She gets better later. This is a healing and redemption story (take note!!!).

2. Gender-bender. The male lead appears late and has a history with the female lead, but it isn't romantic.

3. The pacing is fairly slow, not the sort where you level up a thousand miles overnight! The setting is entirely my own. If you spot any problems, tell me in the comments and I'll consider making changes. Please judge for yourself as you read, be civil in the comments, and thanks for cooperating.
