Another teacher came running as she announced the end of the test.
"Students, listen carefully! You have an hour to prepare and depart for military training, where you will stay for sixty days on the survival grounds. The academy will ensure that the training will never be life-threatening, so bid your farewell to your families. Dismiss!"
Chantal stared at the students' leaving backs. When she was young, she departed with the army to train for a month before heading to the battlefield. She wanted to do so many things as a child, but rebirth made it impossible. She used to be Chantal Magnus.
Chantal Magnus, a woman of extraordinary influence and stature, hails from a prestigious lineage deeply rooted in a century-long military heritage. Throughout her teenage years, she immersed herself in rigorous military training, harboring aspirations to eventually succeed her father, Admiral Magnus.
However, beneath the stern discipline of military life, Chantal cultivated a unique skill: the art of storytelling, a passion she inherited from her mother, a distinguished university dean. In the rare moments of a break from her military duties, Chantal crafted novels, sharing them on a widely recognized online platform.
Simultaneously, she actively engaged in academic pursuits, contributing to research papers and lending her expertise to crime investigations. Chantal is a multifaceted person, and her varied talents set her apart in a world where strategy and power are of the utmost importance.
One fateful day, her sister recommended a romance novel set in an interstellar environment. The conflicting forces of the Federation and the Luminara Empire were in charge of the S-ranked planet Serenithia in the Andromeda Galaxy, where the story took place.
The tale followed a heroine, Eleanor, with a pure heart, determined to escape an upcoming political marriage. Chantal read the story with interest, drawn in by the Luminara Empire's rich cultural origins and traditions.
Eleanor ran away and crossed the border between the Federation and the Luminara Empire. When she reached the other side of the world, she was amazed by its culture and traditions. She discovered that there were so many things to see beyond the tall walls of her home. Then she became a saintess and dedicated her life to the church.
Three years later, when she reached adulthood, she suddenly encountered the hero—a poor boy from a barren planet who dreamed of becoming a military soldier in the Federation. He was an ambitious man full of luck who wanted to change the laws of the galaxy and the lives of citizens living on barren planets.
He was thinking of becoming a major general, but it was impossible for a person without a background to reach high society by effort alone. Through the power of destiny, they met each other in a village where people were dying because of the Zerg virus.
The saintess and the hero, who were bound together by fate, overcame hardships together while challenging the political norms of the galaxy. Love blossomed amidst chaos, prompting the saintess to make a life-altering decision—to forsake the church for the sake of love.
However, their happiness was short-lived, as the Empire relentlessly pursued the saintess. When the heroine's family found her whereabouts, she was captured and brought back to the family. She gained the resources and power to help her lover gain status and climb the military ranks.
But there was a rule that the Federation and Empire's combined military ranks could only possess four pairs of Major Generals, each guarding the frontline's north, south, east, and west borders.
The declaration of war by the Empire suddenly came, demanding the Federation surrender over the saintess of the church. The heroine's brother fought for her sake, but in the end, it was she who killed him to have her lover replace his rank. In this battle, the princess lost the royal family.
Justice prevailed, and the galaxy's laws underwent a transformative shift in favor of the hero's vision. And by the power of love, the fallen Empire was put under the control of the Federation.
In a final act of triumph, the saintess ascended to the leadership of the church, purging the remnants of the royalty and exiling her own family to a barren planet. The hero's dreams turned into reality, and the couple lived out their days in bliss, reshaping the destiny of the galaxy with their love, resilience, and unwavering commitment to change.
Chantal seethed with anger as she read through the story, cursing the author for penning such an infuriating piece. Little did she know that her own tale was about to take an unexpected turn.
On her final mission, a tragic accident claimed her life. To her surprise, she awoke in a luxurious room adorned with extravagant pink decor as consciousness slowly returned to her. She was momentarily unable to blink as the robotic voice greeted her.
"Good morning, Princess Chantal!" That's when the memories of another person's life and experiences flashed before her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, she grew up well.
Serenithia, Federation (Calendar year, 2700 AMWCA)
Chantal found herself fighting for survival and protecting her kingdom on the southern frontier of the world's battleground. The youthfulness in her eyes had given way to a steely mentality. Each morning, she faced the routine of battling Zergs, but none of these challenges deterred her from safeguarding her family.
In the novel, she was portrayed as a delicate flower sheltered within the Empire's greenhouse, incapable of defending herself. Unjustly, she met her demise at the hands of the heroine. Strangely, having not encountered the galaxy's heroine, she couldn't muster hatred for that person.
Whispering to herself, she declared, "The plot has not started yet. I need to change the end of this world. I need to save the family who loves me and those people who will die in the original text. If I need to shed my own blood, I GLADLY WILL!"
Having risen to the rank of the youngest major general in Serenithia, she swiftly obtained a teaching license at the Federation's most prestigious academy. Her mission was twofold: to acquaint herself with the central city and its power dynamics and to observe the heroine's movements.
