“Miss... miss... miss!!” A faint voice of a woman called her out, breaking through the silence.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8rHGUQ4xd
Ugh… five more minutes... she groaned, curling deeper into her bed, unwilling to wake.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtirBwTmxMj
“Miss... You need to wake up, miss...” The woman’s voice was gentle as she softly patted her shoulder, urging her awake.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO9goZmBTu
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the door, jolting her from her drowsiness. "I'm awake! I'm awake..." she muttered, sitting up quickly, wide-eyed.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNirXdYGPJz
"Lady Arwenzylle, this is not the proper conduct for a lady," the woman said firmly, her tone unyielding.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfY9eWkseW
"Huh? Wait... where am I?" Arwenzylle's eyes darted around the unfamiliar room in confusion. "Am I dreaming...?" Her gaze landed on the lavish furniture, the sparkling chandelier overhead, and the gold accents decorating the walls. "Wow, this dream feels so real..." She sighed in relief, her heart racing. "I wish I’d never wake up..."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm72laZgIu
"Lady Arwenzylle... Are you alright? Do you still have a fever?" The woman, now dressed in a maid's uniform, asked with concern, her voice softening.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZal4PRtmA
"Wow... I even have a maid... Hehe, this is breathtaking," Arwenzylle smiled, enchanted by the luxury around her.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgHMcVgVJe
"Lady Arwenzylle Thalamus," The woman stood at attention, her posture perfect, eyes sharp with an air of authority. "Your etiquette class starts at 9 a.m. Don’t be late!" She glanced at Arwenzylle’s disheveled hair and the untidy bed, shaking her head slightly. "And please, sleep like a princess, not like a baby." With that, she turned and left, her footsteps fading away.

3 hours later
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3tne4TJUS
"Ugh... This is surely not a dream!" she muttered, sitting in her chair and slipping off her shoes.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4rRyq1TsK
Wanna know what really happened? To make it short I died. And what's even worse? I reincarnated. Well, I’ve mostly read reincarnation novels and always wished to experience it, but this... this is on another level! Why did I even reincarnate?! I don’t even know the novel! I only read the first part! So why?! Why?! Why did I reincarnate into this novel?! And what's even worse is the plot!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmATOGVBG7
My friend recommended this novel, Wish for Your Death. It has such a captivating title... but with a horrible plot!! She said it’s a love story with a twisted plot, but all she told me was, "The protagonist you think, isn’t the real one." Huh? Fudge! Why?! Why did I reincarnate into this?! I didn’t even finish reading the novel... or even start it properly!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL0ppOX7QS
I mean, seriously, how does this even happen? One moment I’m living my life, minding my own business, and the next thing I know, I’m stuck in a story I barely even know. What kind of reincarnation is this? Is this some kind of twisted joke from the universe?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbezerpmHaA
I should’ve at least done some research or finished reading the novel my friend recommended! But nooo, I was too busy with other things, thinking "It’s fine, I’ll get to it eventually." And now I’m here, playing the role of someone in a story where I don’t even know the full plot.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIsu6aXSPd
All I know is the main character is supposed to venture on a journey to the three of life and some messed-up love story, and somehow, I'm... I might be involved in it. I have no clue what's going on. All I can say is, if this is what reincarnation is like, someone really needs to fix the system.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbEklQWPag
I mean, is there a way to get out of this? Maybe I can just find a way to avoid being part of this messed-up love story even the world is messed up! Who knows this well end today! Even tomorrow!. But wait... if I change anything, won't I ruin the whole plot? I can't even trust the characters in this story nor knowing them.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx5uDjWGbM
Ugh, I'm not ready for this kind of mess. "Well, here we go," I muttered, taking a deep breath, bracing myself for whatever insane turn my life is about to take next.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ZRurKIze
Just as she braced herself for whatever came next, the door swung open again, this time more gently.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfm4kjQncT
"Lady Arwenzylle," a calm voice called from the doorway, "Your breakfast is ready."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXQYwAiJA0
Arwenzylle turned to face the maid, who entered with a small tray of delicate dishes. Her stomach growled in response, reminding her that while the world around her was falling apart, her physical needs were still very much intact.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkNupuuxik
"Thank you," she said, trying to mask the frustration in her voice. "But really, can you tell me more about this place? Why does everything feel so... surreal?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPJ7B1kBMK
The maid set the tray down on the table beside her. "This is Windhurge Empire, Lady Arwenzylle. And this is the mansion of the Thalamus family." She paused, watching the young lady with a concerned expression. "You’ve been unwell, but I believe you’ll be fine now. You are the daughter of the Duke Gilbert Alexander Whales . Your role in the empire is important, and I assure you that you have everything to live for here."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrWSoJR61X
Arwenzylle’s mind raced. The last name Whales it had some ring to it. She couldn’t place it. But why did it sound so familiar? Was this part of the novel too?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7iFxwuNKd
The three of life, she remembered with a shudder. That was part of the plot of Wish for Your Death the mysterious, ancient tree that held the power to alter the fate of anyone who reached it. But what did this mean for her now? Was she supposed to go on a quest for it? Was that her purpose in this world?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ6gbZnKVH
"Ugh, this is so messed up," she muttered again under her breath, before taking a deep breath and picking up her fork. There was no use complaining. The reality of her situation was far stranger than anything she’d ever imagined. If she had any chance of figuring out what to do next, she would need to learn more about this world, its rules, and possibly its plot.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOby1K3ATcr
Maybe, just maybe, she could find a way to look through this twisted love story and avoid her inevitable death or so, just like in the novel. But was it possible to change fate? She wasn’t sure, but she had no choice but to try.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iEM9DoPR0
"Lady Arwenzylle," the maid’s voice cut through her thoughts, "His Grace, the Duke, wants to see you in his office."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aVCZk5vQJ
Her heart skipped a beat. The Duke? Was that... her father? And why was he calling her now? Was it time to face the consequences of her reincarnation? She could only hope it wouldn’t be as painful as the last time she faced someone she didn’t fully understand.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxgFxAh0uc
"Okay," she said, setting her utensils down and standing up. "Let's get this over with."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtgnAuDWVB
Taking one last glance at the luxurious room around her, she steeled herself for the next chapter in this chaotic, unpredictable life that was now her reality. Who knew how this day would end? Or the next?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdU2WmTasp
With her heart pounding in her chest, she walked toward the drawing room, determined to make it through whatever plot twists came her way.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraBJ7qbEok
"What's this?" she thought, her body trembling, her heart beating so fast it made it hard to breathe. "This... This isn't my emotions..." Suddenly, the creak of the door opening echoed, and she saw a man sitting on a chair, facing her direction. His eyes pierced through her. As she walked into the office, each step made her knees tremble. "These emotions... they're from the original Arwenzylle. She trembled like a scared puppy abandoned by her mother," she thought.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwCzpDf7l3
"I heard you recovered," he said in a cold voice.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiCXHaJJW4
"Y-yes, father," she replied, her voice trembling. I can't breathe... Why is Arwenzylle so scared of this man?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrApelhlqQ
"If so, why don't you tell me what happened in the royal palace, in the prince's garden?" he asked. "Your sister, Aelita, said you pushed her, but you drowned in insistence," he continued, his voice stern.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzCQNQXh6t
"I... I..." she stammered, struggling to find her words.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ8yZsdyD2
"And the prince helped you, instead of your sister, his fiancée. Now tell me, Arwen, did you and the prince... did he give you something?" he asked, his curiosity evident.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11PMFLnh9C
"N-no, father," she replied, her voice trembling. How would I know that the original Arwenzylle and the prince met... and even exchanged letters?
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpMO5Kk6AG
The duke showed her the letter. Arwenzylle's face turned pale. "How will you explain these letters?" he asked coldly.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvdsBzAp9E
Suddenly, Arwenzylle knelt, crying and begging. "Father, I'm sorry! Please forgive me!" she begged, her body shaking. Huh? What's this? I can't control my body... Is the original Arwenzylle still alive? Why is she begging as if her life depends on it? She trembles so much...
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtbtyVy2im
The duke stood up from his chair and walked past her. "Pit," he said, his gaze cold, and he left her kneeling on the floor. A knight dragged her away as she continued shouting until they reached the pit—an underground basement. The thick, dark walls and the smell of blood and chains filled the air. She was chained and placed in a chair, while a black magic circle surrounded her.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3kw1Eoapd
"Let's start reading while giving your punishment," the duke said with an eerie smile.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MZaJDpCgH
"F-father... I'm begging you..." she pleaded.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae4mOzvajQ
"Dear prince, I'll cut my greetings short with a small favor to ask, which I dare say your highness, a favor to help me escape the Whales mansion," the duke said. "This is quite a bold favor, Arwenzylle," he added.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC05M9FpLuA
Suddenly, the magic circle glowed, and Arwenzylle felt a strange numbness spread through her entire body, as if a knife were piercing her, cutting her in half and absorbing her light.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWNx6xIAqF
"It hurts... It hurts so much... Please... Please stop this... Please!" she begged until she lost consciousness.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrqq2AFw7V
The duke left his conscious daughter in the pit.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge0oIqe1IG
Meanwhile, Arwenzylle woke up in a strange, empty ocean. She was standing in the water, looking at her reflection. There, she met the original Arwenzylle, who was also gazing into the ocean. She approached her.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Zq8ngwXC
"You know," the original Arwenzylle said, "they say eyes are windows to your soul. And that soul determines whether you're good or bad... But how can you see that soul if you don't have one?" She turned to face Arwenzylle.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fOnvbseVa
"Are you... the real...?" Arwenzylle began to ask, but the other Arwenzylle cut her off.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlCxfTBEp0
"Arwenzylle," she said, smiling at her. "Your soul is brighter than any other, and she chose the right person for it," she said with a smile.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPhBbq6BUi
"What? I don't understand..." Arwenzylle replied, noticing the scars and bruises on her body. "Why? Why didn't you fight back?" she asked.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhvrjmKe5Q
The original Arwenzylle smiled and held her hands. "Nothing would have changed if I did. Besides, I waited long enough, and this 'enough' is enough for me to let go."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7PnwsYOBE
"What do you mean?" Arwenzylle asked.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6itU9J7XV
"You'll know soon enough. Good things will come, so endure, have faith, trust, fight, and love, my dear Arwenzylle," she said. Suddenly, her body slowly started vanishing.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIEg2Fo1uX
"Wait... you can't go yet! I have so much to ask!" Arwenzylle cried out.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3gIcx0mig
"Try to remember, Arwenzylle nyur Whales," she said.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lOFRYKOh5
Arwenzylle gasped as she woke up in her bed and realized she was back in her room. "A dream?" she whispered. But as she attempted to stand, her body ached. "Ughh!" she groaned in pain. "Yeah. Definitely not a dream," she muttered.
