Welcome to the Kingdom of Rosenthal, a dazzling fantasy world straight out of a video game! Too bad Emily hates it. She was reincarnated as the story’s villainess, Ophelia. And she has decided that she has had enough. She demands to be sent back to Earth. That leaves Gabriel - the angel running the narrative in a bind. The story can’t continue without its villainess, and he cannot find another girl to replace her. And so out of desperation, he recruits three raccoons to take Ophelia's place instead. With a bit of divine magic, no one will notice the swap… as long as they follow the script. Simple enough - except for the fact that the raccoons absolutely cannot stop causing chaos at every single turn. As the plot spirals further off course, Gabriel struggles to keep the story on track. Can he somehow steer ‘Ophelia’ toward her destined ending? Or will this world collapse into a complete furry catastrophe? This story is participating in the RoyalRoad Writathon, April 2026! I want to thank artist giftychri for the cover.
