Adeline Suleiman, one of the founders of the Eutris Federation, the creator of card-based combat, and without question the strongest God of War.
She opened her eyes and found herself transformed into a spirit.
And in this filthy, messy little room stood a boy who looked like he had bad luck written all over his face.
He even looked a little like her.
Adeline: "... ?"
Before she could say a word, the other person let out a howl and immediately dropped to his knees, throwing his arms around Adeline's leg and crying out in anguish.
"Great ancestor, please, I'm begging you, save me!!"
Great ancestor, sob! I'm useless, help me out!
Only then did Adeline learn that her nth-generation descendant was a good-for-nothing at the bottom of his class, a target for his classmates' wanton bullying, and even his background had become a subject of malicious ridicule.
After hearing all this, Great Ancestor Adeline smiled faintly, patted her descendant's head, and said,
"Step aside. I'll handle this."
The most popular online novels these days are about people who transmigrate back to the founding era to date Adeline and build a career with her. The most popular movies are remakes set in that era, where famous figures abound.
Everyone here is either an Adeline fan or a deranged Adeline fan.
That's why most of the students at Toran Academy despise Servien, the bottom-ranked student.
They envy him for being Adeline's descendant and hate him for disgracing her name.
Until one day, the usually timid and weak Servien suddenly changed.
"You're all trash."
The aristocratic student kicked to the ground stared blankly at Servien, who stood over him.
Servien, with Adeline on the inside, glanced down at him and smiled disdainfully.
"So are you."
It was clearly an insult, yet for some inexplicable reason, he felt... that Servien had something of Lady Adeline about him.
Gradually, Servien noticed a subtle change in the way the students at Toran Academy treated him.
Students were always watching him from afar, their eyes filled with a fervor he couldn't understand.
And there were all sorts of skin-crawling attempts to get close to him.
Servien stared in astonishment for a while, then suddenly shivered.
What do you mean, your great ancestor? She's my great ancestor!
Aah! He would defend his great ancestor's chastity to the death!
And his own, too!
Adeline: ... Heh.
- [Content warning] [Important] The heroine possesses the hero's body as a spirit extensively throughout the early, middle, and later parts of the story. A universally adored moonlight figure with unrequited crushes all over her. A wish-fulfillment story, written for the author's own amusement with a chaotic, gleeful vibe. Don't read if these tropes bother you.
- The combat system is based on card-making. Card cultivators are divided into body cultivators, spell cultivators, and other schools. Adeline is an all-powerful archvillain.
- Adeline is the sort of person featured in textbooks, with a statue erected in the Federation's central parliament. There will be many descriptions of the heroine becoming a famous historical figure in later generations, and she has even more fans.
- This is a fictional world with no connection to reality. Read it for fun; no need to scrutinize the details.
Theme: Love life and embrace the future.
