Raining on Me.

School bells rang and students rushing out of the classroom can be seen running out to the garden.

"Professor Lee,see you tommorow."

The student then turned to me and bid me goodbye before heading outside with his peers.

"Yes.Don't forget to do your homework."

The woman in a doctor's coat calmly said to the student before turning to face me.

"And you,young lady.What are you supposed to do now?"

The woman looked villainous as she asked me and I opened my lips slowly to answer.

"I'm going to go home now,Ma'am.Gonna do the dishes because this idiot still doesn't know how to and fix everything this idiot does."

I said while glaring at the stupid looking guy standing next to me.

"Mom!"

He called out to the woman who then turned to face him and said.

"Shut up.The two of you are both at fault.You're already what,23 this year and yet you still get into little petty fights with each other like this.What's the use of you guys having jobs while studying?You guys never seem to grow up.When you were little I thought it was okay but now.."

And yada yada the woman goes.

I'm Lee Soyeon,23.I still live with my mother and my sibling because I don't like living alone.My mother is a doctor who comes to our school to teach sometimes as a guest teacher.Although she acts more like a commander straight from hell,she is my mother.

And this is my daily life.Wake up,eat,take a bath,go to school,argue with my brother all day long,hear my mother's yada yada all day long.

I am currently walking.On my way to our house.It's nighttime by the way.

I look at the stars in the sky,silently admiring them.And it looks like I'm not the only one doing that.

A guy standing in the rails of the bridge I'm currently crossing was also looking up at the sky.

He seems to have noticed me approaching as he addressed me.

"Hey miss,the stars are extra bright today,don't you think so?"

The man leisurely asked while looking at me from the rails.

"Yes,I think so too.It's just sad that there are too much light pollutionq in this area for us to see the milky way,right?"

I said while shaking my head in disappointment.

"Yeah.The world is such a beautiful place all on it's own yet us humans dare to ask for more."

He said nodding his head in agreement.

I sighed at his response.

"Well,what can we do?It's in our nature to be horrible and greedy."

"Right?"

Amused with our conversation,I look up to face the man I was conversing with.

"By the way,why are you standing in the railing?That's dangerous."

I said,warning him.

"Oh,me?I'm here to-"

He stopped talking and pointed to the dark river beneath the bridge and at himself back and forth.

He then chuckled lightly at me.

"That's a funny expression you're making."

"Hey.Joking about things like that are no fun,you know?"

I reprimanded him sternly.

"I know,I know very well.Which is why I'm going down now-"

He was cut off by the sudden shaking of the ground.

Thanks to the shaking,he wobbled and was about to fall into the river when I caught the hem of his long coat and pulled him down.

After a few moments of silence,he finally spoke up.

"Woah.That was close."

He nonchalantly stated.

"What?That's it?You could've died!"

"Hey,that was my purpose for coming here in the first place."

"That-"

I didn't get to finish my words when another quake came into the frame.

The bridge we were standing on fell into the waters and we were buried under the bridge's broken debris.

At that time,all I could see was my hand,covered in blood and the broken chunks of stone.

Underneath the shining moonlight,it was raining lightly with the clouds all around the moon like the clouds were avoiding the crescent moon that shone brightly in the night.The sky seemed as if it was softly weeping for someone.Maybe it's the person I was with,or myself.

I remember thinking at that time,I lived a good one.And that,I have no regrets.Other than I wasn't able to hear mom scold me or that I wasn't able to hit my brother one more time.

Oh,I do have some other regrets.I didn't get to ask the guy his name.

But,I have no reason not to accept this as my end.

-----------------------------------------

I tossed and turned in my bed,trying to feel for the edge.

'soft....hm?'

Golden rays of the sun permeated the room through the glass windows with the curtains draping over the wrong way,not doing what they're supposed to.

Seriously,to the curtains,you had one job.ONE JOB.

The fresh scent of lavender filled my nostrils and I thought to myself.

'...I don't remember mom buying a lavender scented fabric softener.That idiot must've used my room as a test subject for his stupid perfumes.Heh,well done to that idiot.It finally smells good.I'll let this one slide.'

I smirked with my eyes half-closed.

'Still,I remember closing the blinds last night.'

I slowly tried to get up and stretch with my eyes still closed.

I sneakily opened one of my eyes like I was expecting I'd be in a fancy room as a princess of a very rich kingdom.

I snickered.

'As if that'd ever happen.'

I opened my eyes and my delusional-rational sides started to clash.

Where was I?

'I looked around the room and everything seems vintage.It's not just the surroundings,it's.....I also..look...ahhhh how to describe...vintage?'

_________________________________________

I tried calming myself but I only succeeded in calming my head and my heart is beating like it's running on a high way with a speed restriction of 150 kph.

'Could it be?Transmigration?Reincarnation?What could have triggered it though?'

I thought about it some more but it's like I'm missing something very important here.I just don't know what.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a few moments of hard thinking,I decide to just let it be and go with it for now until I remember what I forgot.

I giggled.After trying out several cliche lines reincarnated main characters always seemed to say,I was finally content.

Something's weird though.

'Isn't it normal for my voice not to sound like...I dunno?Me?'

And as if an answer to my earnest prayers,a pinkish-hue of screen floated at just the right angle to match my eye-level appeared.

'...don't these screens usually have the color blue?'

[Prologue:Part 1:I am the heroine!]

◇Difficulty:F

◇Plot:Introduce a newly born protagonist.

◇Time Restraints:12 months

◇Rewards:Heroine's Buff,Heroine's Plot Armour,30,000 'Acts'

◇Penalty:None.

------------------------

I sighed.

'My gosh.I can't recall any novels or manhwas I read that have this kind of line up but surely the pink screen would be enough to get 'something'.'

'What is up with that pink screen?'

[[Prologue:Part 1:I am the heroine!]

◇Difficulty:F

◇Plot:Introduce a newly born protagonist.

◇Time Restraints:12 months

◇Rewards:Heroine's Buff,Heroine's Plot Armour.

◇Penalty:None.

'....awesome shit.It appears whenever I think of it?Oh yeah..that's how they work..ah.'

'Introduce a newly born protagonist,huh.I'm guessing that's me.And by 'introduce' I think it meant making my debut as the 'whatever' this body's owner was.'

'But it doesn't have a punishment..heh.I can just not do it.Easy.'

I thought as I continued to look around the room leisurely.

A knock.

And then another one.

'Who?'

"Come in."

Two maids came in and greeted me.

"Young lady,we have come to assist you."

They came inching closer and the first thing I thought of doing was to stop them but my body was...relaxed???

"...."

'Oh gosh.What do I say?Should I ask where I am?Maybe the year?Let's go with the former.Most manhwas start this way.The characters would explain and tell me everything I need to know.'

"...Ah!"

'Gosh da■■■t.It's easier said than done.'

'...Come on you stupid mouth!Open up!'

"..Young lady,is there something wrong?"

The maid's confusion and worry was visible in her face as she tried to find what's wrong with me.

'.....What is wrong with me???!'

My brows furrowed as I tried to open this body's mouth to speak.

The maid who asked looked concerned rather than terrified.

In any case,this body's owner seems to be somehow good and isn't violent because the look on my face just now was definitely not gonna give anyone the go signal.

"Ah..it's nothing.My head just hurts.Did something happen last night?"

'Ah f■■■■■■ finally.'

I thought as I rejoiced and treasured the privilege of being able to control your mouth.

'What the hell was that?Oh...wait..what if it's those no ooc rules of this world and that was the penalty....'

My brows subconsciously furrowed as I thought more about the matter.

The maid looked confused and looked at the other maid that entered alongside her,seemingly worried.

That maid then turned to look at me.

I was brought back to the real world thanks to the maid's almost burning stare.

"I mean,what did I do last night?Everything was a blur in my memories.I need to jog my mind so I'll remember."

I quickly added to avoid suspicion.

'Are my emotions showing?'

I looked around the room to find the mirror I saw earlier.

Needless to say,I was suprised.

'.....I look exactly as how I did before this.Save for the clothes.I don't remember having any dress like this one on my wardrobe.'

'Could it be an ancestor of mine?Did I go back in time?Was that stupid story actually true?Gosh.My head hurts just thinking.'

I looked into the mirror as I once again started to think deeply about everything.

".....lady....."

'Hm?'

"...Young lady?"

"Are you alright?"

Two concerned voices reached the ears of the transmigrator whose mind was now having a stampede.

'Ah sh□t.I forgot they were here.'

"Yes.Your story?"

"Oh.Young lady Aventine Trieste of the Trieste Marquisate arrived just yesterday."

'....□□□ who the f□□k is Aventine?'

"Yes,I recall.Is there more?"

I feigned knowledge as I continued to observe the maids.

"She challenged you."

The maid closely observed the minute expressions of my face as I tried to keep my poker face as much as possible and asked.

"To what?"

"..About that.."

The maid looked at me and back on the floor for about 2-3 minutes in repeat looking for a signal of sorts.

"..Yes?Carry on."

I said as I urged her to speak.

'Aventine.....nothing's coming to mind.'

I was snapped awake from my reverie when she finally continued to speak.

"She challenged the young lady to participate in the upcoming Crown Princess Selection."

"And?"

'What's the big deal?It's not like I need to actually join,right?'

I thought as I waited for the maid to continue talking.

"You have yet to give your response."

I sighed inwardly as I thanked the owner of this body for saving me the trouble.

'Thank you,miss whoever you are.It's these competition whatnots are what makes those clichéd novels complicated.'

Happy sounding bells rang in my ears loudly like those ice cream trucks roaming the village on a hot day as the pink screen from earlier appeared once again.
