Alicia—now going by the name Alia—decides to continue her training in the woods, isolated from others. Through ingenious use of the resources available to her and despite the growing pains associated with her increasing aether, she continues to hone her combat skills and begins her forays into the world of sorcery. One day, on her way out of town after stocking up on supplies, she senses a distinct presence—or lack thereof—and realizes she’s being watched. It’s a dangerous encounter, one with life-changing consequences she couldn’t have anticipated.
After losing her parents at a young age to a monster attack on their village, Alicia is sent to an orphanage, where she spends three miserable years being mistreated—and doing her best to smile through it all. After finally reaching her limit and running away, Alicia is attacked by a strange woman who wants to take the young girl’s place as the protagonist of something called an otome game. During the struggle, Alicia accidentally absorbs part of the woman’s memories and knowledge, transforming her from a scared child to a calculated young woman with a mission: to write her own destiny. Now adrift in an unforgiving world, Alicia vows to grow stronger by any means necessary. She’ll need all the might she can muster if she has any hope of changing her fate and fighting for survival.
Young orphan Alicia—now going by Alia—manages to escape death at the hands of Graves by jumping into a turbulent river. Narrowly surviving the raging torrent, she makes her way to the isolated cabin of Cere’zhula the Fiend—the demoness and retired sorceress who was once the mentor to the woman who attacked Alia in an alley—and becomes the dark elf’s newest apprentice. Under Cere’zhula, Alia learns new spells and combat techniques and dips her toes in the art of alchemy. After a few months, the young girl grows used to her new life in the woods, only for it to be thrown into disarray by the arrival of a mysterious man from Cere’zhula’s past...
