Seraphina Elouise Virelle opened her eyes to a gilded cradle, sunlight filtering through royal curtains. Her tiny hands clenched instinctively, and with shocking clarity, she remembered everything.
She remembered her previous life, Misaki Moriyama, an office worker.
But now, she is the youngest daughter of the noble Virelle family in the Kingdom of Orvenheim. Her blonde hair, emerald green eyes, and delicate features made her the jewel of her house.
Seraphina now is in the world of Aetherion, a vast and fantastical world. Magic and technology exist together. Vehicles, ships and aircraft powered by magic stones. Farms flourished with enchanted irrigation systems designed in the Kingdom of Araleth. Devices from Zarkhail buzzed in every noble hall.
But there was something different about Seraphina.
At the age of five, she accidentally cast a high-level flame spell without uttering a single word. Spellcasting without incantation is considered impossible. Yet for her, it was instinct.
Whispers started among her household. Rumours swirled within the city. The Virelle house is now watched by many—some in awe, others in fear.
At the age of sixteen, words about Seraphina's flawless beauty spread far and wide.
Three sons of noble houses—each heirs in their own right—met Seraphina at separate gatherings. All fell hopelessly in love with her at first sight. From her grace and mystery to her power and intellect, they were enchanted.
But Seraphina… was not interested in any them.
Seraphina glance at her own bracelet. It's a beautiful gold bracelet, with an oval crystal act like a display. It's a measuring device, to measure a person's level. People can see their status like this.
'Strength 21x
Agility 21x,
Durability 21x,
Mana 35x'.
It means that her strength, agility, and durability are 21 times more than a normal person, and her mana is 35 times more than the average person.
Turns out, humans can level up in the world of Aetherion. Seraphina thinks it's like a video game.
"Maybe I need to level up more", she said.
A new life, a new body, and a new desire she never explored in her old world.
