Follow Kairi Izumi—a quiet, eccentric, and somewhat conspicuous girl— who never felt like anything but an NPC in a story. Working behind the scenes, unnoticed by others had always been part of her daily life, dwelling with medicine and toxins. So, it's not surprising that she wasn't tad attractive according to others. That is, until one day... that guy, he confessed to me. Wait a minute—doesn't that mean I'm a heroine now? Hang on, how is that even possible? Me? Heroine? No way! I’m just a girl from a small village who likes to help others. I don’t particularly stand out, and compared to the other girls, I’m not even that attractive. And so, a question lingers, driving the unfolding of this dumbfounding narrative forward: Wait, what do you mean I got reincarnated to be a heroine? That's weird because usually a heroine is not strong let alone smart - they are usually dumb, cute and pretty. Definitely not me. I mean, how is that possible? Me? Heroine? No way!

INTRODUCTION From a collection of letters found in the von Stein estate, dated 1892–1925. I’ve come across them again—the letters. The ones he wrote. I found them tucked away, where the dust collects, buried beneath the floorboards of the east wing. So many years have passed, and still, they seem to hold the weight of everything between us. It’s strange, isn’t it? How a few sheets of paper, some ink, can capture so much. So many of them were addressed to me, though I don’t remember when I last responded. Some were for Mother, I think, though I’ve never been able to bring myself to read them. And then, there are the others. The ones that don’t make sense. The ones that never asked to be seen. Do you ever wonder about the things we leave behind? The little scraps of ourselves that we think no one will notice? Lou always had a way of writing as though he were speaking to someone—something—just beyond the reach of anyone else. Perhaps you’ll read them. Or perhaps you won’t. But there is something about these letters that pulls at me, even now. They are fragments of something we could never quite piece together, a story that lingers just beyond the edge of understanding. I never fully understood him. Not then. Not now. But these letters—they’re all that’s left. All that he left.

Lyra Stevens and Draziel Asheron—a mortal woman and the immortal demon god of the underworld—were never meant to be. Yet, they defied the laws of existence, forging a love so powerful it bound them to an unbreakable, merciless cycle. Every time they found happiness, Lyra died before her thirty-first birthday, only to be reborn with the memories of all her past lives. And each time, Draziel had to find her all over again. But after her 176th death, Draziel could bear it no longer. In a desperate bid to end their suffering, he struck a deal with his ruthless brother and sworn enemy, Zarek Asheron—the very being responsible for Lyra’s countless deaths. The terms were simple: Lyra would never die again… in exchange for Draziel’s life. Unwilling to let fate steal her love, Lyra did the unthinkable—she stole Draziel’s power and hurled herself into the past, determined to rewrite their destiny. But the past is not as she remembers. Trapped in an era where Draziel has never met her, she must make him fall in love with her all over again while unraveling the truth behind Zarek’s twisted schemes. With time running out and dark forces conspiring to keep them apart, Lyra faces the impossible: saving the man she loves, changing a doomed fate, and surviving a past where she was never meant to exist. But the universe has never been kind to them. And this time, it might be too late.

Based on the tale told before us, Medusa was a beautiful maiden who was seduced by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess' wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Then, the Greek hero Perseus beheaded Medusa, and he used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. However, the truth was far more complex. Poseidon had attempted to seduce Medusa and failed; he then forced himself upon her. Her lover at the time, the powerful goddess Athena, saw that Medusa had fallen to the seduction of men, and in her wrath, she cursed Medusa by turning her hair to snakes.

And she doesn’t know… he is already looking for her. What kind of fate awaits her, when she tries to walk away from the story? General Description: This novel is a work of fiction set in the intricately crafted world of Eryndral—a land shaped by mercenaries, mysterious dominions, and unique abilities. The story unfolds in a magical yet grounded universe, blending elements of action, introspection, and discovery. While the plot is deliberately paced to allow immersion into the protagonist’s journey and the complexities of the world, the narrative focuses on personal growth, survival, and subtle interactions that drive meaningful change.

That's how she finds herself at Tenshiko Academy, an institution shrouded in mystery and filled with brutal training. Here, survival isn’t guaranteed.
