I never liked my life. To be honest, it bored me to death—literally. A never-ending cycle that sucked the color from my days, leaving me numb, drained, and utterly uninterested.
As the years passed, I began to retreat from everyone. Not that anyone noticed—I was already a ghost in my own life, waiting for this dreary existence to come to its inevitable end.
And just when I thought I might find peace, swallowed by the darkness for eternity, I woke up in an unfamiliar room. Yeah, you heard me right. I won't bore you with details, but let's just say fate had other plans. Cliché? Maybe. But who cares at this point?
"Hah. What now? A villain? The fated hero?" I muttered, my voice echoing off the walls. "No way. If I were that lucky, I wouldn't have died in the first place."
I sat up, rubbing my eyes and glancing around the room. It was… oddly normal.
"Well, at least I can check my face," I said to no one in particular, pushing myself off the bed and heading toward the bathroom.
The moment I looked in the mirror, I was taken aback.
The man staring back at me had hair as white as snow, and eyes that gleamed crimson—a pair so intense they could see straight through you. His sharp jawline, pale skin, and… unbelievable beauty felt foreign, as if I were looking at a stranger, not someone I'd expect to find in the mirror.
But my physique? Yeah. Not so impressive. Weak, fragile—yet undeniably pretty.
I couldn't help but chuckle. If I were a girl, maybe I'd be a heartthrob. But who am I kidding? I've got the looks, and that's it.
Suddenly, a thought crossed my mind. I couldn't help but check—maybe, just maybe—I still had something going for me in this strange new life.
"Time to see if I have my cheat," I muttered under my breath.
"Status open," I said with a bit of hope creeping in.

(Yes) or (No)
"Hahaha! Yes!" I nearly jumped out of my skin, a wild grin spreading across my face. "It's really here! My cheat!"
As the familiar voice echoed in my mind and blue letters appeared on the screen, I realized something—maybe I wasn't completely abandoned after all. But still… I prayed it wasn't one of those annoying systems that either punished their hosts or wouldn't shut up.
With a deep breath, I pressed the "Yes" button.

[Would you like to open the newbie pack?]
I stared at the screen for a moment, feeling a mixture of disappointment and disbelief. Level 0? No skills? No class? No talent? And what the hell was this "handsome ant" nonsense? I wasn't just an ant, I was the ant.
"Great. What did I do in my past life to deserve this?" I shouted, my voice cracking with frustration. "No talent, no skills, no class… not even a basic level. What kind of joke is this?"
"Okay, calm down, Noah. Maybe you're a noble or something…" I muttered, trying to reason with myself. "But if I'm a noble with no talent, I'll be kicked out the moment they find out."
A bitter smile crept across my face. "Let's see if this newbie pack is actually worth it."
"System, open the newbie pack."
