Location: Earth, 2022.
Hello.
My name is Ardi Valinstein and I am an outcast loner, yes, that's right, the fact is that I have been suffering from an unknown disease since birth, which makes me very weak.
Because of her, I don't look pretty, I'm weak, thin, and short. Because of this, my peers are constantly bullying me, and because of this I have never had friends.
As soon as I tried to get to know someone, they immediately leave saying that I'm 'weird' and 'ugly'. Once, when I was in high school, I managed to make friends with a girl, or so I thought.
• Laughter*
«Ahahaha…» - you could hear the laughter of three girls in an empty classroom, who surrounded a weak and small girl who looked about 15 years old, with white hair and pale skin, 1.54 meters tall.
• Laughter*
«Did you really think that I would be friends with a freak like you?! What else, go read your fairy tales about a knight on a white horse! Ahahaha,» the black-haired girl who was apparently the leader of the group shouted as she left.
«That's right, freak!» said another girl with blonde hair, following a black-haired girl, together with another girl, leaving a weak girl alone, in an empty classroom.
Left alone in the classroom, the white-haired girl stood up, thinking to herself.
{Do they really enjoy bullying others so much, watching them suffer? *sigh* I hate such people, I'd rather go read my favorite stories than try to find friends.}.
Then I decided for myself that I would never try to make friends again. I'd rather be among my real friends, with whom I'm always interested.
Books.
That's right, books and manga are my best friends, I love reading stories about knights and my favorite manga characters and short stories. I especially like the universe of "Fate" and "Tensura" in one noble and righteous Knights, and in the other, powerful monsters and Heroes.
I have always dreamed of becoming like them, strong, brave and righteous. I tried to go to the dojo and practice martial arts, but because of my weak body I could not do anything, my dream was not destined to come true. Therefore, I devoted myself to reading about these incredible adventures of Heroes and the valiant deeds of Knights.
But one day, there came a moment that completely changed my life.
Late at night you can see a lonely gray-haired girl walking home along an empty street. Right. This is Ardi Valenstein, she's coming home from the library late at night.
Walking along the road, she passes by an alley where she hears a woman screaming.
«HELP! »
Hearing a cry for help, Ardi runs with all his might into an alley and sees a scene where a man with a knife tries to rape a girl.
Without hesitation, Ardi rushes to the man. Panicked by the sudden appearance of Ardi, the man stabbed the girl's body with a knife.
"No!" Ardi shouted, trying to push the man away. But because of her weak body, she is not good at it. In a panic, the man stabs Ardi in the heart, and runs away.
Ardi looks in shock at the wound in his chest and falls to the ground, looking at the dead girl and her last thoughts were.
{Sorry I'm so weak, I couldn't protect her... Forgive me, I hope you will be in a better world... I want to be strong, like those legendary knights from stories, like my favorite characters from the manga.... to protect, to help those who hope that they will be helped, I swear, I will protect all who hope for help, I must, because, so rightly ... } and Ardi dies, until...
