(I won't abandon this story, but I don't know when I'll get around to finishing it.)
After entering a Western fantasy world, Gretel thinks she can embrace her golden finger and rise to the top.
But her utterly mediocre talents shatter that dream, so she decides to be a laid-back nobody and live a quiet, uneventful life.
An unexpected turn of events forces her to enter an academy competition she has never taken seriously, all for the prize money.
The series of conspiracies and revelations that follow catch her completely off guard and gradually reveal the vast, complex continent of Atlan.
Her self-conscious, sensitive roommate, who has been with her for a year, is actually an extraordinary genius mage.
The lone-wolf magic swordsman everyone avoids has countless ties to the long-buried case of the First Prince.
The revolutionary army, which wants to overthrow the king because of crushing taxes, has been secretly in action for many days.
And then there's the age-old feud between dwarves and elves,
the mysterious petrification spreading through the Sea of Granskin, hailed as the “home of merfolk,”
and the frequent golden storms in the desert-bound Empire of Portula…
On this journey into the unknown, Gretel always feels as though some invisible hand is pushing her forward.
As a chill creeps over her, she also begins to understand why she came to this world.
Whatever happens along the way, there's no denying that her story will become an epic for the ages, passed down through generations.
A lighthearted version:
“Your self-conscious, sensitive roommate is a genius mage.”
Gretel: It's fine, she can't manage without me.
“You've discovered the revolutionary army's secret, and now your life is in danger.”
Gretel: It's fine, I'll just help them overthrow the empire while I'm at it.
“Your team is too weak to win the academy competition.”
Gretel: It's fine, I'll just recruit another genius.
“Your true identity is actually that of the forgotten savior.”
Gretel: It's fi... Wait, what?!
After ending King Louis's twelve-year reign, Gretel goes to the Empire of Austin, known as the “Land of Magic and Alchemy,” as an exchange student. She watches the dwarves and elves prepare to unleash an enormous war that could destroy the world, and falls into deep contemplation.
Hey, this isn't what we agreed on!
Years later, now a living legend, she is asked by a child who worships her, “True deity, how did you save the continent of Atlan?”
Gretel (pressing her palms together): Treasure life, starting with me.
Reader's guide:
1. Inspired by DnD, but the setting, plot, and background are all original. There are many races, and I borrowed from some games I've played. The story starts in the heroine's own country, then later travels all across Atlan.
2. The plot is the main focus, with little romance. It's a slow burn. I like to start small and gradually reveal the mysteries I've created.
3. The heroine has mediocre talents but is very clever. She's chaotic neutral, something of a mischief-maker, and the brains of the party. She's not much of a fighter.
4. Some characters have questionable morals. Please don't judge the author by the characters' values.
5. I'm a heroine enthusiast!! Feel free to point out the heroine's flaws, but please don't attack her. Thank you :)
Theme: Everyone is born with a purpose
I feel like Wenake is so pitiful and insecure, and the parents of this cat boy remind me of Mantis' behavior.
Why is the interaction between Sofia and Gretel so sweet and warm? It makes my heart melt when I see it. In Sofia's eyes, Gretel, who smells of lingonberries, is an angel on earth, the embodiment of kindness, strength and beauty. Moreover, she also pinned a beautiful little blue flower to the end of Grete's hair 🥺 🥺
I said why the teacher's update today was so short 🥺, it turns out to be like this [spread flowers], I'm waiting for the teacher's update tomorrow 😚 😳
The teacher has been so diligent in updating in the past two days. I love the teacher so much! 😍😳😚
It's really normal for Gretel to be excited. Although she came from the womb and has the soul of an adult, no matter what, everyone will cherish their own life, especially this hard-won precious 🥺 The interaction between Gretel and Sophia is so sweet, so sweet, touching their heads, rubbing their faces, such intimate gestures are so beautiful 🤩
Princess Thatcher is so beautiful, charming and kind 😚
Teacher, please give me more 😳
Jialan who appears at the end, my sunshine big dog girl [Let me be healthy]
I always feel that the Revolutionary Army is not a good army. Hahaha, little Gretel is really smart and can find ways to make money in no time. Sophia: I want the money, but I can't lose my life either.
Ah! Come to Jinjiang, madam! 🤩🤩
