Every Time I Die, I Steal My Killer’s Skill

"Congratulations! You have died." Serena didn't ask to be the villainess in a twisted world of high-society intriguers and monstrous ascendants. And she certainly didn't choose the cursed System that bound her soul: Every time she is murdered, time rewinds—and she permanently steals a skill from her killer. But dying isn't free. Each resurrection leaves physical scars, fractures her mind, and burns away her humanity. To survive the looming catastrophe, Serena must hunt the realm’s deadliest predators, calculatedly orchestrating her own gruesome deaths to strip them of their ultimate power. In a world of chess masters and godly ascendants, the supreme monster isn't the one who never bleeds—it's the one who turns her own corpse into a weapon.
