Haruka Suzuki blinked her eyes open, feeling disoriented and groggy. As her surroundings slowly came into focus, she realized she was lying in a luxurious bed adorned with silk sheets. The room, with its ornate furniture and opulent decor, bore no resemblance to her simple apartment in the real world.
"Where am I?" Haruka whispered to herself, sitting up and absorbing her surroundings. Memories flooded back — the accident, her love for otome games, and the last thing she read before everything went black. Unintentionally, she glanced in the mirror, only to discover that she was no longer Haruka Suzuki. "I... I've been reincarnated?" she murmured in disbelief, a mix of excitement and trepidation welling within her. Haruka had often dreamed of being part of the fantasy worlds she read about in books, but she hadn't expected it to become reality.
With a blend of anticipation and nervousness, Haruka swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. As she gazed into the full-length mirror in the corner of the room, she caught her first glimpse of her new self.
"But I wonder where I am." Staring back at her was a young woman with long, glossy black hair cascading down her back. Her piercing blue eyes held a hint of determination, a stark contrast to the villainous character she now inhabited. Dressed in an elegant gown, Haruka couldn't help but marvel at the transformation she had undergone.
A sudden realization struck as she continued to gaze into the mirror. "I am Kira Blackwood now!" she declared, taking a deep breath and summoning her newfound resolve. She had read about Kira in "Roses of Love," the otome game she had spent countless hours playing. Kira was the embodiment of darkness and deceit, a character destined for a tragic end.
"But I won't let that happen," Haruka whispered to herself, clenching her fists. She was determined to rewrite her own story, to break free from the role of the villain and find a path of redemption.
Leaving the confines of her room, Haruka traversed the grand corridors of the mansion she now called home. The mansion belonged to the Blackwood family, a powerful noble lineage she was meant to represent. A mix of fascination and apprehension enveloped her as she embraced her new position of influence.
