    The female protagonist initially tears apart awful characters, but later serves her country. Currently, she's a specially recruited military doctor participating in special forces selection. She's incredibly skilled in combat, seeking revenge immediately. Her spatial ability was created through sheer force of wills. In the first chapter, she cripples a sleazy man with three lashes. She first throws the awful female supporting character's family into a latrine, then sends them to the desert to plant trees. She kills enemy agents and even uses her spatial ability to empty the national treasury. It's an incredibly satisfying story. After beating up the awful characters, she not only steals their wealth but also gains merit points to exchange for magical treasures.
