Transmigration

Cling~ Cling~ Cling~ Cling~

The sound of a ringing phone persisted in the empty room, yet there was no one present to answer it. Meanwhile, the lifeless body of a woman named Anna lay in a pool of blood, a book resting just beside her corpse.

Swoosh~

Despite the lack of noticeable air movement in the room, the pages of the book continued to flutter back and forth.

Flop~

All of a sudden, the book flipped completely to the left, revealing its cover and title.

[The Hero's Rising]

==================

[Aurora World]

[Elacnor Empire, Capital City]

[Magus Academy]

Anna who just died before few minutes ago, slowly gained back her consciousness.

"Ugh, I cannot believe it! She actually shot me!"

Upon opening her eyes, she exclaimed with a loud voice, but as she noticed an entire classroom full of people staring at her, her expression turned into one of confusion.

"HeHe." She gave a tentative laugh, feeling unsure about her surroundings and the events unfolding before her.

As she opened her eyes, the people around her simply gave a dismissive shake of their heads before returning to their own tasks. She glanced around, trying to make sense of her surroundings, and her gaze landed on the expansive lecture hall that surrounded her.

Confused and disoriented, she muttered under her breath, "What's going on? Didn't that woman shoot me?" Her surroundings were unfamiliar, and she struggled to comprehend her current situation. She glanced down at the metallic bench beneath her and caught a glimpse of her reflection, adding to her bewilderment.

Her jet-black locks cascaded down her back, framing her petite nose and rosy lips. Her appearance was that of a mythical fairy, and her obsidian pupils, rather than being circular, appeared like two sharp, piercing needles.

Her voice hushed to a murmur as she gingerly caressed her face, "This image is not my own."

Anna's mind raced as she touched her unfamiliar face, recognizing it from a recent novel she had read. "No way," she thought, "Does this mean I've transmigrated into the story?" Dread filled her as she realized it was the worst novel she had ever read. Despite her confusion, Anna managed to keep her composure.

'I must maintain my calm until the study session concludes. I can evaluate my circumstances more effectively once I return to the dormitory. Yes, if my memory serves me right, the Female lead is presently attending this academy and lodging in the dorms.' She ruminated inwardly.

Fortuitously, the lectures had already concluded and the entire class was anticipating the ringing of the final bell.

Ring~ Ring~ Ring~ Ring~

The resonating chime of the bell signaled the end of the class, prompting the students to hastily gather their belongings and exit the room.

Anna was at a loss for how to locate the dorms, but as soon as the thought crossed her mind, a flood of unfamiliar instructions flooded her consciousness, compelling her to move in the right direction. She couldn't help but wonder, "What is this, unknown memories?"

As the memories guided her in the right direction, Anna didn't fight against the instinctual pull and allowed her body to move towards her dormitory.

A distant voice suddenly called out to her, "Kathleen, kathaleeeeeen!" but she paid it no heed and continued walking towards her destination.

The name, however, triggered a memory within her, reminding her that the female lead's name in the novel was Kathleen. Despite this, she had no intention of engaging in any conversation until she could clear her mind and assess her situation.

Clik~

As the sound of the door clicking shut reverberated through the room, Anna collapsed onto her bed in exhaustion.

"Huff, it's indeed real." Anna let out a deep breath and a broad smile spread across her face as she realized the truth: she had truly transmigrated into a novel.

Despite the fact that many people would be angry by being forcefully transported to a different world without any choice, and after recollecting their loved ones, Anna did not share in their angry or distress because she always yearned to live in a fantasy world.

As for her family, Anna had been living on her own while pursuing a corporate career. Her mother had passed away during childbirth, leaving behind a series of predictable stepmother-related conflicts.

Despite leaving her family after completing her studies, Anna could not find any solace in her solitary existence. Being in a new place where she had no acquaintances or loved ones, she felt a void that could not be filled.

Anna tried to find happiness through dating and even got into a relationship, but it lasted only for two months as neither of them felt anything for each other.

Little did she know that her ex would come knocking at her door one day with a drunken face and a gun in hand, unleashing a terrifying turn of events.

As she took her final breath, a perplexing thought crossed Anna's mind. Why would her ex-girlfriend go to such lengths as to end her life? She had nothing of value to rob, and she was the one who always footed the bill during their brief relationship.

Such incidents had left Anna feeling despondent and detached from her past life, devoid of any strong emotions.

Taking a deep breath, Anna reminded herself to let go of her past and concentrate on her current situation. She couldn't believe that she had been transported into the body of the female lead in this novel.

Anna had bought [The Hero's Rising] novel on a whim, but after reading it she couldn't help but wonder, "Who in their right mind approved this novel for publishing?"

Despite her disappointment in the novel, she resolved to finish it since she had already paid for it. At least this way, she could ensure that her hard-earned money didn't go to waste.

The story unfolded in the enchanting realm of Aurora, a medieval fantasy world rife with enigmas and enchantment. Magic was an integral part of this universe, and individuals with the innate talent to wield it could unlock immense strength and power.

In this novel, the main character is Maxwell Alstrain, the son of Duke Nicholas, the Duke of Alstrain duchy.

His character is quite puzzling as he tends to be hypocritical at times, making it difficult to follow his perspective, hence there isn't much to elaborate on about him.

In an attempt to follow the current trends of readers, the author decided to craft a protagonist who was merciless and diligent.

However, their efforts were in vain because the main character's fortune was so great that he hardly needed to lift a finger to achieve his goals.

Instead, he often stumbled upon fortuitous circumstances that bestowed upon him immense power. In the end, Anna found herself disliking the main character.
