Once a man, now a woman, Naviga strongly resisted her new body when she realized she was born in a woman's body, struggling to adapt to the change of gender.
When she was child, she displayed many masculine behaviors, leading her parents to wonder why she acted like a boy. However, over time, she gradually adapted to her new body. The instincts of a woman began to manifest in her childhood—bathing frequently, and trying to look more beautiful. At first, she resisted these changes, but time helped her accept her new body and instincts.
Initially, she believed she had reincarnated into a new world of magic and swords. She understood this world was far more dangerous than her previous one, where even her own people and mansion might not be safe. At the age of six, she began training. Despite once being an assassin, she struggled at first due to her weaker female body and the brutal training. However, six months of determination bore fruit, and she adapted to training with her new body.
She then asked her sister, Minasa, to train her. Minasa's training was even more brutal than what she had experienced as an assassin, but it didn't bother her. After all, an eight-year-old who had endured mental torture in her previous life wouldn't fear physical pain.
After two years of intense training with her sister, Minasa, Naviga's body grew stronger. By the age of eight, she awakened her core and entered the First Phase of the Core Realm. The core, located at the center of the chest, is every sentimental being.
In the Seven Sky Universe, first someone awakens their core,then they can only participate in the Talent and Element Orb tests.
On the day of her talent test day, everyone important to her was present—her new mother, father, sister, grandmother, and several influential figures in her family. When her grandmother, the former ruler of the Akerman family, learned that Naviga had awakened her core, she immediately called for everyone to gather, including Naviga's mother.
Her grandmother, known as the "Blood Witch" in the Seven Sky Universe, had retired after her old master, the Medure family's former matriarch, passed away. With the loss of such a powerful figure, enemies had attempted to destroy the Medure family. But with the Blood Witch still alive, no one dared to harm them, as her power was unmatched.
The Blood Witch placed an orb in Naviga's hand to help her understand her elemental affinity. As Naviga touched it, she poured Universal Essence into the Yin Elemental orb. The orb began to glow with a black-gray hue, representing Yin Element. Then, a silver-white hue appeared, symbolizing the Moon Element. Finally, the orb flashed with every Yin Elemental hue, indicating that Naviga had the ability to wield all forms of Yin Elements. Everyone present understood that Naviga had an
extraordinary talent.
There was also another orb used to test talent. When Naviga placed her hand on it, the orb glowed gold brightly for more than five minutes. This astonished every member of the Akerman family.
Talent in this world is graded from Phase level talent,1-Star level talent to 5-Star Level talent and Heaven Level Talent. Within each level, there are further divisions: Low Talent, Middle Talent, High Talent, Peak Talent, and Supreme Talent.
The orb's colors and durations signified talent levels:
White Hue: Phase Level Talent
Black Hue: 1-Star Level Talent
Green Hue: 2-Star Level Talent
Blue Hue: 3-Star Level Talent
Purple Hue: 4-Star Level Talent
Red Hue: 5-Star Level Talent
Gold Hue: Heaven Level Talent
The duration of the glow further refined the assessment:
1 Minute: Low Talent
5 Minutes: Supreme Talent
Naviga's result confirmed her as a Supreme Heaven Talent, leaving everyone in awe.
Her talent was assessed this Supreme Heaven Talent, making everyone realize that Naviga was destined to write her own story in the Seven Sky Universe.
Everyone was overjoyed because, in the history of the Akerman family, only three individuals with Supreme Heaven Talent had ever been born. These three became legendary figures in the Seven Sky Universe. Naviga was the fourth person to awaken Supreme Heaven Talent, marking her as someone destined for greatness and potentially another legend in their family.
However, Naviga was soon confronted with an earth-shattering revelation. Her grandmother revealed that their Akerman family was a subordinate to the Medure family. She explained the relationship between the two families and the history of the Medure family. At first, Naviga couldn't grasp why the name "Medure" felt so familiar to her. She probed her memories but couldn't recall where she had heard it before.
In the Akerman family, there was indeed a library, but it required minimum permission to enter, granted only to those who had opened their core. This allowed not to her access any information available before,so she couldn't understand much about her family. She had no idea her family served under a bigger, more powerful family.
Naviga tried asking her sister, the maids, and the guards about her family's informations, but none of them disclosed any information. She grew increasingly doubtful about her mother's and father's jobs since she rarely saw them at home. Despite her curiosity, no one answered her questions. Eventually, with her busy training schedule and the mental struggle with her gender change, she began to forget about it.
When her grandmother explained their connection to the Medure family, Naviga finally understood. However, what truly shocked her was learning that she would work as a maid to Minerva Medure. Hearing that name clicked something in her mind, and memories of a novel she had once read resurfaced.
Minerva Medure was a powerful extra character in the novel, which had left an impression on her in her previous life. This realization made Naviga understand she had been reincarnated into the world of that novel, not as the protagonist but as an extra—a maid to another extra character.
In the novel, the Akerman family was briefly mentioned as a family of maids serving a larger, powerful family. However, Naviga was sure her name had never appeared in the story. With her extraordinary talent, she couldn't fathom why the author wouldn't mention her, leading her to believe that either her existence was an anomaly or her talent in this world had been altered to be exceptional.
Naviga suspected a greater conspiracy behind her reincarnation. She didn't know who had brought her into this world or their purpose—whether it was for entertainment or something else entirely. Despite the uncertainty, she resolved to make the most of her second chance.
What's most interesting about the Akerman family is that, even with exceptional talent, members are bound to serve as maids or butlers. This unshakable rule was established by the family founder and cannot be violated. For powerful families like the Akermans, dignity and loyalty are placed above all else. While human nature might tempt one or two individuals to defy such rules, the Akerman family stands apart due to the founder's foresight.
The founder placed a curse rune upon her own bloodline. If any Akerman were to betray the Medure family, the curse rune would activate, causing their blood, blood vessels, and heart—anything related to blood—to dry out completely. For those who attempt to evade their responsibilities, the family head possesses a jade slip capable of activating the curse. Currently, this jade slip is held by Naviga's grandmother.
Additionally, for anyone seeking to take over a body with greater talent, there is a soul-based curse rune. Upon opening their core, every Akerman is marked with a curse rune on their blood and soul. When someone achieves soul consciousness—allowing their soul to leave their body—this rune remains in soul. If an attempt is made to transplant one soul into another's body, the rune activates, destroying both the body and the souls involved.
These rules and their associated punishments are documented in the Akerman family's rule book. If someone were to inquire about removing this rune without harm to the soul, they would find it impossible. The rune was bestowed by the founder's master, the once Medure matriarch, and attempting to tamper with it would cause the rune to self-destruct, leaving the soul permanently damaged. For this reason, no member of the Akerman family has ever dared to challenge these rules.
Also that day, Naviga gained access to the Akerman family library. She chose Lunar serenity breathing, Lunar Edge Sword Arts, Eclipse Slash Sword Art, Phantom Moon Step Footwork Art,and Moonlit Shield Defensive Art for her training.
At the Phase Core level, magi could only use Phase-level arts and weapons. To use more powerful arts or weapons, one needed to advance to at least the Essence Core level. Along with the arts, she also selected a black sword with red lines from the family's weapon hall.
On that same day, her companion from her previous life—the A.I. chip implanted in her brain—unexpectedly reawakened.
Now Naviga has been working as a maid for more than five years . At the age of ten, she moved to live with the Medure family.
