I don't know if it was a childhood dream, but once I heard a voice calling out to me.
"Hello, Miss Youxin. I'm sorry to inform you that you were born into an angsty novel."
Uh... an angsty novel?
What does that mean?
"It means your life might be... just a tiny bit rough."
Oh, that. Haha, you don't have to tell me. I already know things aren't going well for me.
"No, no, you haven't realized how serious this is. It's still too early. The story hasn't really begun yet."
...So what are you trying to say? That I should prepare myself?
"No. The main thing is, readers came after me, so I've come to make it up to you."
Make it up to me?
"That's right. Normally, I'd give you some sort of golden finger, but..."
But what?
"The Mary Sue team next door used up all the golden fingers, so I don't have any cheats left to give you."
...So?
"After thinking it over, I decided to give you a Dragon-Aotian character setting. I hope you can defy fate and get a happy end!"
Does having this character setting mean I'll become really strong?
"Not at all. A character setting can't make you stronger."
Then what can it do?
"Make you stronger-willed."
I must have had a really deranged dream.
