When the protagonist, who played the otome game "FORTUNE LOVER" in her previous life, is reincarnated as Katarina Claes, she is already 15 years old and set in a magic school. She's in the middle of being mean to the game's protagonist, Maria Campbell! And what's more, this was one year before Katarina's downfall! If she'd been reincarnated at around age 8, she could have eliminated the doom flag or mastered farming so she could deal with it if it did happen... But the reality is this! Just like Linda Cube's Route D, Katarina Claes only has one year left! Whether you cry or laugh, there's only one year left until her downfall. Katarina Claes' final year begins.
