Spitting on the Hero's Eulogy

The weeping at the funeral is deafening, but Virelia is entirely unimpressed. The 'Chosen' heroine, Cymbris, is delivering a tear-jerking eulogy for Galvan, the vanguard who supposedly sacrificed himself to save her. There is just one problem: Galvan isn't dead. He is paralyzed, fully conscious, and about to be buried alive to hide the 'heroes' cowardly retreat. Stepping up to the podium, Virelia calmly interrupts the melodrama. With surgical precision, she publicly dissects the protagonists' lies, exposes the paralyzing poison in front of the horrified elite, and casually walks out with the casket. Told in alternating third-person perspectives between Virelia and her infuriatingly smug rival, Osorio - who keeps trying to sabotage the exact same heroes - this satirical journey spans the multiverse. Virelia's mission is simple: rescue the tragically loyal knights discarded by ungrateful protagonists. But as her rescued vanguards conquer realms to build an interdimensional empire solely to lay at her feet, Virelia discovers a glaring anomaly. Her transmigration system was designed by her own memory-wiped past self. Why did she force herself to forget, and what apocalyptic threat requires an army of resurrected knights to defeat?
