What if one day you find yourself facing two people who introduced themselves as gods? And what if they told you that you have died and that they wanted to reborn you in a new world? But, that world turned out to be the world in a novel you used to read.

However, that novel had a shit ending in which all of the main characters died in the end.

It caused a rift of anger from the readers. Enough for them to vent their anger on social media and send death threats letters to the author.

Since the novel's ending wasn't well accepted by the readers, she asked you to create a better ending.

"I see. I'll do it."

Somewhere in the Appraisal Pavillion, a young man stood in front of a big crystal ball.

"What's your name?"

Lin Kai.

"Oh, sorry kid, but your talent is only Rank F and the skill you've got is just a common healing skill."

Hearing that from the appraiser's mouth, Lin didn't want to believe it. However, the other young people around him, who also heard the appraiser, started laughing at him.

Hahaha! What dogshit talent is that?! Is he a dog?

Forget being a dog, with such trash talent and common skill, I might as well grow tomatoes in the backyard.

If it were me, I would rather live in a cave for the rest of my life. 

Without minding their criticism, he left the area.

He couldn't believe it. He was the brother of the girl with Rank S talent, but comparing their talent, the difference was like heaven and earth!?

Inside a restaurant, a deafening silence loomed where a few young people gathered. Among them was Lin. Along with him were four other young people about the same age as him. They were his friends from the same village as him. 

"What did you guys say?" Lin asked, breaking the silence.

"Lin, we have agreed to exclude you from the party," said a youth with orange hair. His voice was calm but carried a hint of disappointment.

"Alvin, what's the meaning of this?" Lin fixed his gaze at the orange-haired youth.

"It is what it is, Lin. We can't afford to have you at the party after knowing your appraisal result."

Lin frowned, then he looked at the girl with a pretty face and long auburn hair, "Amy? You agreed to this too?"

She was his childhood friend. 

Amy's mouth was opening, but no words came out. It seemed she wanted to say something but ended up choosing not to speak. He also noticed her gaze darted everywhere. It seemed like she purposely wanted to avoid answering him.

Looking at her gesture, Lin felt dejected.

"Your skill is just a common healing skill and your talent is Rank F, for god sake. From hereon, we will traverse countless dangerous places and will eventually face strong foes on the way, where anyone could die at any moment. We can't have someone like you at the party."

After Alvin said that, Amy nodded her head slightly. 

"Alvin is right," she said.

"No way. You can't do this to me."

"C'mon, Lin. Don't be a kid. Let's be honest. With a talent as trash as yours and a skill as common as yours, don't you think you'll just be a heavy baggage to us? Someone like you will only be a burden to the party. Don't you want your sister and friends to succeed?"

With those words, it seemed his world shattered to pieces. After all, it was easy to find a healer with a better talent than him.

Lin fell silent and turned his gaze to the other girl. 

"Ri—"

Before he could finish his words, she shook her head.

"Sorry, brother, but Alvin was right. Please, understand. I want to become a person like my idol, the Hero Abi. Don't worry, through me, I will have our family rise in fame. Besides, you're also against me joining the party from the start. It was only after I cried the whole night that I managed to persuade you."

"Ugh."

Lin felt like something blocking his throat all of a sudden. The twist of fate. That was indeed what happened a day before they departed to this city. But he was only against her joining them because he wanted to protect her.

After learning her appraisal result, she fully committed to becoming a hero like her idol.

Her skill was Ice Magic and her talent was Rank S. That said, in the city, no, even in the whole country, people with Rank S talent could only be counted with fingers in his hands. So in terms of adventuring, his sister was more capable than him.

But… this was his dream. The moment he was born into this world, he already had a plan for the future.

In his previous life, he was bedridden his whole life because of a chronic disease. He couldn't go out and enjoy with friends like a normal person should have. So after reborning, he aimed to go on an adventure the moment he learned to walk. After all, it was the thing he couldn't do in his previous life.

He can't give up now, can he?

"Do I need to cry the whole night as well just so you could allow me in the party?" Lin found himself asking for a chance.

"Give up, pal."

"Max, you too?" Lin was surprised when the most silent Max suddenly spoke up.

"….."

Max then fell silent like he always does.

"No, wait. Even though I have a trash talent and common skill, I can guarantee that I won't be a burden to you gu—" After all, he had been training in all weapons since he was a kid. And all of them knew how good he was in terms of combat.

Just before he could finish his words, his voice disappeared.

After Alvin signaled to Amy, she raised her wand and then whispered a word.

[Silence]

Lin opened his mouth in shock but no matter how many times he talked, no words or no voice came out of his mouth.

This was undoubtedly Amy's doing. She cast silence on him!? Unbelievable. Her skill was unbelievable.

Alvin secretly signaled to Max. Max nodded then he secretly walked behind Lin.

Lin felt a foreboding feeling all of a sudden. Before he could react, a heavy force hit him on the back of his head. 

His vision immediately turned black.

Sometimes later,

"Sir, sir, we have arrived."

Lin heard an unfamiliar voice. He deliberately opened his eyes.

"What? Where am I?"

Last moment, he was riding a horse as he ventured to a vast plain. 

'Dammit! It's just a dream!'

Lin thought disappointedly as he got up and wiped the drool on his mouth.

Looking around, he found himself inside a taxi.

Damn! They actually sent him like a parcel back to his home.

"There's no need to pay, your friends already paid me for you," the driver said honestly.

Lin nodded and closed the taxi's door after saying thanks.

When he entered the house, he was greeted with an enthusiastic greeting.

"Welcome back, son!"

It was his mother, Renka.

Lin nodded and dejectedly said, "Yeah, I'm back."

"I have prepared your favorite dish Chilli Beef Stew! Do you want to eat?"

"Uhm, mom. It's mid-summer. I would rather eat something appropriate for the season."

"Oh, my. Sorry, son. Do you want me to grill chicken then?"

"No need. I am just kidding. But I have no appetite right now."

He wasn't choosy about food whether it was inappropriate for the current season or not, however, his mood wasn't into eating at the moment.

He cast a glance at his mom and noticed something.

"Mom, stop pretending. Just tell me what is in your mind."

Lin said, his voice was calm.

"Ara, so I was found out already. I can't hide something from you, huh? Tehee!"

"It's because you're so easy to read, mom."

"Am I? Ahem…"

Renka looked slightly embarrassed.

After clearing her throat, she looked at her son. "Son, don't get discouraged by the appraisal result. Not every sibling shares the same fate. You see, maybe your talents lie elsewhere. Why don't you accept the offer of Count Stronoff? Go to the academy to pursue alchemy. Aren't you good at it?"

So it was it.

"But Mom, what happened back there is just a mere coincidence."

"Even so, that didn't erase the fact that you have saved the village from a tragic outcome. And that happened when you were merely 10 years old."

Lin fell silent.

5 years ago, like in the novel, a mysterious disease proliferated in the village. However, due to his worldly knowledge from the novel, he successfully created a vaccine that no expert magic healers or doctors could do. Not even the present masters in alchemy at that time could do something about it.

In the novel, that incident will lead to a tragic event in the future that costs a party of good adventurers to tread an evil path. This event led to the demise of many strong adventurers and knights before the biggest war in history began.

He couldn't allow that kind of future to exist. To reach the happy end, he needed more strong people. Those strong adventurers and knights were a much-needed chess piece in the coming great war against the evil force.

Noticing his silence, Mother Renka continued speaking.

"Sometimes it's not about coincidence, but destiny, son."

He was surprised that his mother could speak philosophical words, knowing she was a bit clumsy at times.

Since there's nothing he could do about it, Lin said. "Alright. I think about it." Then he walked upstairs.

Inside his room, Lin pondered what to do. His initial plan was to avoid the academy to avoid entangling himself with the main characters.

He wanted to reach a happy end without having the main characters know of his presence. That's why he chose to join the adventurer party instead. But he did not anticipate his skill and talent to be this trash.

Dammit, why did the goddess not give him an awesome skill and talent to begin with? Ah, that's right, he prioritized choosing Instant Casting over any awesome skills. Since it was a passive skill, the appraiser couldn't detect it.

Anyway, next month will be his birthday, and at that moment, he will receive his goddess's blessing as they agreed.

The next day, a butler from the Stronoff household came to visit the Kai family. His intention was clear.

It seemed the count already heard about his appraisal result.

"Young master Lin, the count was asking about your decision. Since you have failed to become an adventurer, he wanted to receive your answer about the academy's admission."

"Yeah, I will enroll in the academy," Lin said firmly, which surprised the butler.

Upon careful thinking, he realized he could only gain access to the major events if he became a student of the academy. 

Originally, he was so against it, but since there was nothing else he could do, he decided to face the academy arc.

"Then, will you come with me now to the Stronoff household?"

"Yes. Let's go."

The class will start in the last month of summer. It was the day after his birthday.

As he waited for the day to come, Lin's days were busy processing the transfer documents and admission papers. Although the count backed him, he needed to personally process the papers by himself.

Finally, after some days of processing the documents, all the needed processes have come to finality.

Looking at the paper in his hand, he saw his new name.

[Lin Stronoff.]

As agreed, he would represent the Stronoff family as their son-in-law. Since the Stronoff Family had a strong background, he, as the son of a humble family, had to be the one who had to change his family name.

By the way, Count Stronoff's daughter was so against it. But, the count was a man who valued talent more than a person's background.

He believed with Lin's talent in alchemy, he would become someone great in the future. Such decisions might be odd at the present, but who dares to question a Count's decision?

Looking at the castle-like building in the middle, surrounded by 4 white towers. Lin was in awe.

It was truly how the author described it in the novel. But looking at it in person, it was even more grandiose.

"Hey, did you hear? Two commoners enrolled this time."

"What? Really?"

"Yes."

"Aren't the academy officials afraid the academy's reputation will be ruined by those lowly creatures?"

"That's what I'm worrying about too."

Not too far from where he stood, some students passed while talking disdainfully. He wasn't purposely listening to them, but their voices had enough volume to reach him.

This was also one of the reasons he wanted to avoid coming to the academy. The prejudice against commoners was strong in this place.

No matter what, he must hide his background at all costs. Lin secretly swears to himself.

Stanford Academy was a prestigious magic academy that most nobles in the country went to.

Chapter one of the novel was the introduction of the main characters.

The novel itself was depicted from a dating sim game. There are two main characters in this novel. The first one was the main character from the game and the second was the true main character from the novel, who was a transmigrator from the real world.

Since she was a transmigrator, she most probably also knew of the major events that would happen in the future.

The first MC was Rachel. She was a commoner with extraordinary talent. Rachel has the rarest magic. She was the wielder of Light Magic. The headmaster himself was the one who asked her to enroll in the academy. This information was only known by a few.

Sadly, since she was born into a commoner family, her days in the academy couldn't be better. She would receive countless mockery and would be despised by most students in the academy, especially after the three princes fell 'head over heels' at her. The enmity from other students, especially the females, would never go down but keep on accumulating.

Just as he expected, on the day of his birthday, a translucent board appeared in front of his eyes.

In it were some messages.

[Goddess' Blessing: Unlimited Mana.]

[Goddess' Gift: Novel's Copy.]

Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

His most awaited has finally come.
