Aalam is your typical LitRPG protagonist, very good at the universe’s magic system, an excellent crafter with a very low EQ, and a tad broken with a tragic past. In a typical LitRPG story he’d find success despite his shortcomings, his big mistakes along the way covered by a few well timed deus ex machinas, and maybe even eventually gain some social skills.
But he’s already died once and, left to his own devices, he’ll definitely die again, no machines set to lower beings down to save him. Still, he does have a little luck on his side. Before his death, he managed to become the single largest source of regret for one of the most skilled individuals on Earth, someone whose death he indirectly caused, and she’s going to do everything in her power to keep him alive.
Mila, unlike Aalam, is a high EQ individual, a trained spy and assassin with all the relevant skills for surviving a typical LitRPG apocalypse. Sure, with both of them dead and in a tutorial to gain points to be reborn as powerful monsters on another planet, some of those skills aren’t relevant. And, sure, with Aalam constantly taking ridiculous risks to try and gain high rewards, she has her work cut out for her. But Mila, unlike Aalam, has the ability to attract the attention of the mostly deceased ancestor of all humans on Earth. And she also has the required talent to make use of Aalam’s ever growing power for her own growth, effectively becoming a warlock with him as her patron, allowing her to keep up with him.
Will she manage to keep the idiot alive? Will following her ancestor’s advice to effectively become a magical lawyer specializing in duplicitous soul-binding contracts allow her to become as powerful as she needs to be? And will she ever actually apologize to Aalam for spying on him for six years while pretending to be his girlfriend? Read to find out.

What to expect:
- 2 protagonists, leaning more toward one at the start and with more added later, but only ever one plot thread
- A power set where the main characters are intricately linked with each other, one effectively a warlock while the other her patron even though they are at roughly the same level of power, causing them to rise and fall as a group
- A fast paced story without much extraneous fluff
- Evil magical lawyer powers
- Intrigue and manipulation (Describing one of the main characters, one of my readers wrote: I think this might be the first time I see a "reincarnated" spy in a webnovel that actually feels like she does intrigue and manipulation, instead of just solving all her problems through brute force)
- Dragon Ball Z level power scaling, with the main characters able to blow up planets by chapter 250
- A very, very slow burn romance
- Common webnovel tropes normally done poorly twisted for the author's amusement to make more sense and work in the story
- Main characters without the best morals
Content Warning:
One lead in the story is suicidal at the start and undergoing a pretty bad breakdown, while the other is possibly even more messed up, only better at hiding it. Their need for therapy is a plot point, and, given the nature and length of the story, they mess up a lot before they get better.
