"She's here!"

"Shall we start beating that bullshit again?!"

"My allowance will be reduced because of her!"

"That weirdo deserved what she got today!"

"That wuss! She's the reason I am grounded for a month!"

Luna didn't know who was talking. At this time, all she knew was that she would be hurt by their hands. She looked at them one by one and saw their evil grins. Their grins made Luna's hairs on the back of her neck stand up.

She stood like an idiot awaiting her end. Suddenly, someone kicked her in the back. The girl fell to her knees and then to the floor, with an additional kick to her neck compounding the impact. The kick was heavy, and Luna's neck was severely in pain. Someone stepped on her head. It was stepped on several times, and the girl's face almost touched the floor.

No one was held back, and no one complained. They all enjoy this torture. Each laughed and seemed to be convincing the other to continue.

"You bitch! Someone like you should disappear from this school. You are an eyesore! You all are making us suffer. You are too much of a hero!" Mendez said so.

Mendez also stepped on Luna's head. Not satisfied with what was done, he grabbed Luna's head and slammed it into the concrete floor. Luna did not react. She felt dizzy, and her vision was burning. Didn't they feel sorry for beating Luna? The malnourished Luna?

The poor girl was hurt, and no one seems to mind. Others have baseball bats. Regardless of where they got the bat from, their goal was to paralyze Luna. They know that no matter what, they can get away with it.

"You should have learned your lesson by now, bitch!" Mendez spat and grinned evilly.

Luna was picked up by two of her female classmates and forced to her knees. The girl looked around and saw everyone present. There's blood on her forehead. One of her eyes was covered with blood. She could only see with one eye.

Their cruel smiles were on display. Their plans will be carried out today. No one appears to have heard their voices. The staff probably also turned a deaf ear in this mess.

"Are you ready, guys? We should give our beloved Luna Janus Jayson a punishment that she won't ever forget. She can confront this punishment repeatedly and reflect on her role within this school." Mendez stated, he is their leader.

"Have mercy. Have mercy..." Luna tried to plead, but no one gave her sympathy.

They just shrugged and smirked. Luna expected this. When Mendez signaled to the rest of their classmates, Luna closed her eyes.

They came in one by one and hit Luna with their hands. They punched and kicked Luna. They didn't stop until she's bleeding. Luna coughed up blood, but they didn't seem to want to beat her, even though she was already in a pathetic condition.

"It's not enough, guys. Let's stomp on her!" Mendez made a suggestion on which everyone agreed. They didn't just stomp; others also punched and kicked Luna's head. The girls slapped Luna and pulled her hair.

"E-Enough, please... I'm begging you. Please...." Luna begged in a weak voice.

Her whole body was very painful. Her whole body was full of wounds. The girl's blood was flowing from her forehead, nose and mouth. She coughed up blood several times.

Thirty people tortured Luna.

"I'm begging you. Please!" Luna begged again, but no one listened; instead, they laughed.

"Your begging is pointless." One of her classmate spat.

Luna lay down on the cold concrete floor. She can't move her body. She looked at them, and her eyes were almost lifeless.

The others joined in and threw the cigarettes they were smoking at her, hitting various parts of Luna's body. Luna is a victim of influence and wealth. Luna is envious and jealous of selfish individuals who only focus on their selfish interests.

From Luna's perspective, Mendez was visible. He gave the poor girl an evil grin. "I don't think this is enough. Bring me something deserving of our beloved Luna's face," he said sarcastically. They followed what Mendez said. Someone brought a large, hard rock. Luna's eyes widened as she gasped in shock. Luna knew what to do!

"Don't! Please!" She tried to stop the cruelty of the classmate, but Mendez only grinned like a demon and dropped the rock right on Luna's face and head.

It slammed against Luna's face. They laughed and clapped their hands as if they were still celebrating their stupidity. She girl was unable to move from her position. Her entire system is gradually shutting down, and the end is in sight.

They were all cheering while a body was on the verge of death. They didn't appear to mind. It is more correct to say that they do not care about her life.

"Perhaps you'll grow old enough to recognize who you encounter." Mendez said those final words as they all walked away, as if nothing had happened.

Luna was left all alone. Her breath was leaving her slowly. The rock struck Luna's face, causing damage.

Her head is cracked, and her face is bleeding. Luna looked up at the sky. The heartless did not know that her heartbeat was gradually weakening and slowly fading.

Because she had lost so much blood, Luna was slowly dying. She was here in this world for sixteen years, and she hopes she didn't come back.

"Poor end." She muttered to herself.

Luna girl cried. Two lone tears fell in her eyes. All she wants is to study happily and be successful. But why is that? Why is it that whoever is good person is the one who has to suffer?

'All I wanted to do was prove myself and be a decent person. Why is my ending like this?' She questioned herself once more.

She feels sorry for herself. Luna became a victim of other people's envy. She lacks the strength to remove the stone from her face in order to relieve her pain.

Luna's entire body seemed like a burning candle that was slowly losing its flame. The gloomy night and impending rain seemed to sympathize with the girl.

It's strange that one star shone brightly while it started to rain. Luna feels like she has nothing more to fight for in order to live. She will just accept her fate.

'If I am given the chance to live again, I will want to wield great power. I wanted to trample on everyone who had abused me. I wanted each of them to beg for mercy.' These words are the only ones that can be heard in the mind of the person who is slowly losing her life.

"If I could live again. I want to be more than just a weak and insignificant Luna." Luna muttered to herself and laughed at her life's trivialities.

Luna knows that this night she will writhe like a leaf that will vanish in an instant. Nobody will weep for her. Nobody would recognize her. No one noticed Luna, as if she were a forgotten person who should never be remembered again.

Those things are true. She will be lost without doing anything for herself, and that is what she will regret as her eyes slowly close and her heart stops beating.

Luna Janus Jayson has passed away, leaving behind a life filled with deep regrets.

    Luna swallowed her own saliva, which was now Alessia. She remembers everything the goddess said and advised her. She is now named Alessia Keren Endymion.She is now the renegade Princess, and her family is killing her for her influence on the low-class Luminarians. A noble and loyal princess.

    Alessia sighed deeply as her uncle and the Chief Knight of this Dukedom left. Beads of sweat came out of her body while they were talking. She was thankful because she didn't notice that someone else was holding the mind of this body, even though she said she was still Alessia."D*mn, Goddess Nova! What did I get myself into? She questioned herself as she adjusted her seat. She sighed several times. Now that she was inside the room, he understood more and more that what the goddess was asking her to do was really complicated, but she had no choice because she was already here.Back then, Luna was a blackbelter and a champion in inter-schools and competitions. Luna is also a champion when it comes to science and mathematics. Even though it was difficult then, she was blessed with an intelligent mind that was the envy of her shameless classmates."I'm just thankful to the Goddess that she didn't remove my knowledge; otherwise, I don't know how to survive in this world," she said, sighi

    "Is this... really my uncle's castle?" Alessia mumbled under her breath, her eyes wide with awe as she moved down the enormous hall. The stone walls rose high above her, with towering arches flowing gently overhead. The walls were covered with intricate carvings of legendary creatures and luminary symbols, all lighted by the warm glow of candles flickering in their sconces. Sunlight filtered through stained-glass windows, creating beautiful patterns on the floor. It felt lively, full of light and warmth, in contrast to the Endymion palace's chilly, depressing atmosphere. Joya, her uncle's appointed maid, followed her carefully, directing her toward the library. The calm echo of their footsteps echoed through the hall, providing a soothing counterpoint to Alessia's rapid thoughts. "This castle is beautiful," Alessia whispered almost to herself, her gaze drawn to the intricate features of the marble columns and gorgeous tapestries that adorned the walls. "It feels alive, like it has

    "I can't enter, My Lady. Only those with Carrios blood are allowed inside." Joya's voice carried an apologetic tone, her eyes downcast. Alessia, still red-eyed from crying over Joya's painful story, stood before the massive wooden doors of the Carrios family library, her heart racing. She had been eager to explore the wealth of knowledge inside, especially after hearing whispers of the library's treasures. Her past life as Luna had been filled with books—her only escape from the world's cruelty. In this life, Alessia craved that same solace. But her curiosity was tempered by awe as the doors creaked open, revealing a sight that made her breath catch in her throat. "Well, Joya," Alessia muttered under her breath, a teasing smile on her lips. "I think I'd kill to own a library like this." Her voice was barely above a whisper as she stepped inside, wide-eyed with wonder. Shelves stretched from the polished marble floor to the vaulted ceiling, filled with thousands of leather-bound boo

    "Uncle, are you sure I'm ready for this?" Alessia asked, gazing into the great halls of the castle as they made their way to the training area. Duke Andro Carrios walked behind her, his posture firm and his emerald eyes brimming with calm assurance. "You're all good. Your strength is already enough. Did the healer tell you so? And, Alessia, strength comes from more than just physical training," he said, his voice stern but gentle. "It's about developing willpower, dependability, and understanding when to stand firm. You're capable of it all. And you have my complete support." Alessia sent a quick glance at her uncle, the only member of her family who had ever shown her genuine concern. "I don't want to disappoint you." "You won't," he murmured, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Alessia, I believe in your goodness and your kindness. This world, Luminary, needs someone to rectify the wrongs. I know you can." Her heart was thrilled yet felt heavy. His comments held a weight she

    "Fine. If no one wants to help me, I'll help myself," Alessia muttered under her breath as she walked down a narrow path behind her uncle's castle. The crisp air bit at her skin, but the cold was nothing compared to the icy stares she'd been receiving for days. The knights, the instructors assigned by her uncle—they all refused to look her in the eye. Their hostility was palpable, thickening the atmosphere like a storm waiting to break. She clutched the books she had taken from the library tightly in her arms, her heart heavy with disappointment, but she refused to let it break her spirit. Finding a small, secluded clearing beyond the castle's walls, Alessia exhaled deeply. The spot was quiet, peaceful. A place where no one would disturb her. Here, she could try to understand herself better. Try to become strong without needing anyone else. Sitting down on the cool grass, she placed the books in front of her and let her fingers trace the worn covers. "You're not like them," she w

    "How could you be so reckless, Alessia?!" The sharp voice of her uncle snapped Alessia out of a hazy dream, pulling her from the darkness. She blinked her eyes open slowly, her body heavy with exhaustion. The ceiling above her was unfamiliar, the lavish drapery indicating that she was in one of the castle's private rooms. The pain in her body brought back memories of the explosion of her luminous light. "Uncle?" Alessia's voice was weak, but it was enough to silence the furious words coming from across the room. Duke Andro Carrios, standing near the door, immediately strode towards her, his face still a mask of frustration. "You're awake," he said, relief flickering in his emerald eyes, but it was quickly overshadowed by anger. "How could you? Summoning your luminous without any guidance? Without anyone there to ensure your safety?" Alessia winced, both from the pain and the weight of his words. She hadn't realized how dangerous her actions had been. "I... I didn't know," she whi

    "Are you even listening to me, Sia?" In the tense quiet, Raizel's voice broke through. His tone was sharp and angry. Alessia leaned back against the wooden bars of their cage. She looked calm, but there was a hint of boredom in her face. Raizel's words hung in the air because she didn't answer right away. "I'm talking to you!" Raizel snapped at her, and his brown eyes narrowed as he glared at her. Alessia gave him a lazy shrug and raised an eyebrow. "I heard you, Raizel," she said in a low voice. "And you're just keep on repeating yourself." Raizel sighed in frustration and ran his hand through his messy hair. "Do you not get it? We wouldn't be here tied up like animals if you hadn't stopped us earlier!" Alessia crossed her arms and said, "Yes, I know." Her carefree attitude seemed to make Raizel even angrier. Raizel mumbled, "You're unbelievable," and his voice was dripping with anger. Sirena, who was sitting still, looked back and forth between them. Her aqua-blue eyes were

    "Move carefully, Alessia," Sirena said quietly, her voice cutting with a mix of anxiety and desperation. Alessia's eyelids blinked open, her vision clouded. The first sensation she had was anguish, a dull, throbbing ache that swept throughout her body. She attempted to stretch, but the movement caused additional anguish in her arms and legs, and she winced. The sight of her wrists shackled with harsh ropes biting into her skin nearly stopped her heart. A small rustling sound beside her caused her to turn. Silena was beside her and aquamarine hair was tangled, her face pallid, yet her eyes were bright. "Sirena..." Alessia's voice croaked. She attempted to sit up, but her muscles refused, and she grimaced. "We're tied up," Sirena said gently, attempting not to draw attention to herself. "Don't move too much. You'll only hurt yourself more." Raizel's voice ripped through the air, harsh and full of wrath. "This is what happens when you let your emotions get the better of you, Sia.

    "Did you even sleep last night, Sia?" Raizel's loud tone interrupted the morning silence, his gaze locked on Alessia's exhausted, disoriented face. Alessia blinked, trying to focus. "I... tried," she muttered. She clenched the edge of the table in their little room at The Dusty Oasis inn, her knuckles white. Sirena, who sat next to her, sighed heavily. "She didn't. She was restless throughout the night, and I can attest that it is not an easy task to sleep next to someone who is as restless as a puppy." Raizel crossed his arms. "You're worried about them, aren't you?" Alessia did not need to ask who he was referring to. The unsettling pictures of imprisoned Chimeralys she'd seen the day before returned to her mind—half-human, half-creature beings tied in chains, caged, or dragged across the marketplace like commodities. Their desperate eyes and broken spirits had gnawed at her heart all night. "How can I not be?" Alessia muttered, her voice shaking. "They are hurting. Animal-l

    Raizel muttered, "Keep your head down, Alessia," as their horses slowed at the grand iron gates of Arcas. His tone was firm but soft, just enough for her to hear over the clamor of the busy entrance. "Remember, you're Sia Larkstone here." "I know," Alessia said, her voice firm despite the unease building inside her. She adjusted her cloak, the cloth brushing across her face, as if to provide comfort. Sirena said from her side, "And don't react to anything you see. The city thrives on fear and power. We know how reckless you are. Openly expressing compassion could endanger us all." The guards at the gate were equally terrifying as Sirena's warning. They wore black armor with elaborate crimson patterns and featured a snarling wolf carved in silver, something Alessia had never seen before. Their piercing eyes searched the crowd as they approached. "State your names and purpose," yelled one of the soldiers, his penetrating eyes lingering on Alessia for a moment too long. Raizel too

    "This is it," Alessia whispered softly, standing in front of the Pathweaver, which was shimmering faintly in the meadow's dawn light. Raizel and Sirena stood a few feet behind her, silent yet alert. "I suppose this is goodbye." The Pathweaver turned its head, its iridescent appearance changing like sunshine over water. "Goodbyes are just pauses in the flow of life, Alessia. We may meet again, but perhaps not in the way you think." Alessia smiled slightly. "I still want to thank you. Thank you for guiding us, for your knowledge, and for... everything. I'm not sure how to convey it correctly, but I'm glad." The pathweaver's glowing eyes softened. "Gratitude is a unique and beautiful gift that requires no embellishments. I accept it, Alessia." Curiosity flared in her sight. "I wish I could call you by a name, but... you don't have one, do you?" Alessia asked. "No," the Pathweaver answered kindly. "We, the Guardians of Luminary, do not have names. Our identities are based on ou

    "This place is incredible," Sirena said, reclining back on the soft grass of the meadow. Her aqua-blue eyes reflected the sun's waning light as it set behind the golden-leaved trees. "It feels like we've stepped into a dream." Alessia sat nearby, her back against the trunk of a tree that glowed dimly in the twilight. Her fingers carelessly touched the grass, its cool, silky texture grounding her amidst her racing thoughts. Raizel lay out on the ground, hands behind his head, seeming calmer than Alessia had ever seen him. "Dream or not, I'm just glad we're not fighting for our lives anymore." He looked at Alessia with a taunting grin on his face. "Though I have to say, Alessia, you really have a knack for charging headfirst into danger." Alessia smirked but did not answer. Instead, her gaze shifted to the Pathweaver, who was sitting on a tiny rock beside the stream. The creature's iridescent glow appeared to brighten as the darkness deepened, throwing an ethereal light across the

    "Alessia! Wake up! You cannot give up now!" Sirena's words cut through the tiredness that had clouded Alessia's consciousness. Alessia's eyelids fluttered open and her body screamed in outrage. Her hands trembled, clutching the Blade of Lumina tightly. She forced herself to stand, despite her body feeling like lead and her knees shaking, as she confronted the Chimeran Trivaltus once more. "You're insane!" Sirena yelled, her voice tinged with panic and wrath, as Alessia pushed forward. "You're going to get yourself killed!" Alessia did not respond. She couldn't afford to waste words explaining her decision. This wasn't just about surviving the Forest of Nyssor; it was about demonstrating to herself that she wasn't weak anymore, that she wasn't the Alessia who cowered in fear. With an aggressive roar, the Trivaltus lashed out with its tiger head, exposing its huge fangs. Alessia avoided narrowly and rolled to the side. As she regained her footing, the lion head, the creature's co

    "Sirena, are you alright?" Alessia's voice resonated across the cavern as she grasped the Blade of Lumina tightly, imploring Sirena once more, the blade's faint glimmer the only illumination in the darkness. "I'm fine," Sirena answered, her voice quivering slightly. "But, where are we? And where is Raizel?" Alessia studied their surroundings, her eyes narrowing as she attempted to make sense of the immense cavern they had arrived in. The rocky walls were sharp, and water dripped from the roof and pooled on the uneven floor. Shadows flickered across the stone as Alessia shifted the light from her glowing blade. "I don't know," Alessia mumbled, clenching her jaw. "But we are alone. Raizel did not fall with us." Sirena shivered, tightening her robe around herself. "I do not like this, Alessia. There is something here." A loud, guttural growl resonated through the shadows, sending shivers down both women's spines. Alessia strengthened her grasp on her blade, and the light brighten

    "Don't let go of me!" Sirena's voice was stern, with panic seeping through every syllable as she strained against the quicksand that was drawing her down. Her fingers pressed into Alessia's forearms, leaving her knuckles white. "I won't!" Alessia cried back, tightening her grasp on Sirena's wrist. Her heart raced as she braced her feet against the shaky ground, attempting to pull Sirena free. But the more she tugged, the deeper Sirena sank, with her legs totally immersed. "Raizel!" Alessia shouted, her voice cracking. "Do something! I'm trying!" Raizel snapped, his hands lit up with the brilliant green of his terra luminous. The ground shook beneath his boots as he focused his strength on the quicksand, hoping to solidify it into solid soil. However, every time the light touched the moving sand, it returned to its unstable state. "Why isn't it working?" Raizel hissed in rage, his hands clenched. He tried again, his face pinched with concentration, but the quicksand remained unc
