Taleria's Notes
Hello everyone!This is a translated novel. I do not own the original content—I simply love reading and wanted to share that passion with others. I've translated and rewritten parts of it to make the reading experience more enjoyable. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did working on it!
Seventeen years ago, a girl was sent to another world by a glowing goddess named Aris. Blessed with powerful magical attributes—but curiously, no holy power.
And now the girl has become Mira d'Ark. She lives a peaceful life in the sun-kissed fishing town of Mermaid’s Cove.
She doesn’t fight monsters.She doesn’t wear holy robes.And she certainly doesn’t consider herself a saintess.
But the townsfolk think otherwise.
From healing wounds and calling rain, to helping lost adventurers and tending the soil, Mira's magic has touched everyone in town.
But as her seventeenth birthday dawns and cake is served at the Adventurer's Guild, a new arrival at the edge of town will gently begin to shift the tides of Mira’s peaceful world.
Because sometimes, even a girl who doesn’t believe she’s a saintess... is exactly what the world needs.
Loss scars the heart. But this family believed it could also connect.
Welcoming their distant relatives in, compassion triumphed through mountains. United by heartbreak---perhaps they could heal together. But something else managed to get past the forests and hills...

Fifty years after the cataclysmic Second Jewel War, the Land of Spade has flourished under the legacy of Kaipo Kasumi, its once-fractured realms now united in an era of peace. But peace is a double-edged sword, for in the shadows of tranquility, a new and insidious evil stirs—one that threatens to unravel everything the heroes of old fought for. As dark forces emerge from the cracks of a fragile peace, the next generation of mages must rise to confront an adversary unlike any before. Will they uphold the legacy of their predecessors, or will the weight of history crush them? The fate of five universes rests in their hands, and their journey will test not only their power but the very essence of who they are.PS: If you haven't read previous series of The Land of Spade, it's totally fine!
