Nomad Merchant

Aria Winters, known to her followers as "Storm," was a popular live streamer with a fierce personality and unmatched gaming skills. When the highly anticipated online game "Elemental Ascension: The Path to Immortality" was released, Aria made a daring bet with another livestreamer: she would achieve immortal status and complete the game within a month. Determined to win, she livestreamed day and night, battling her way through the game's formidable challenges. With only twenty-four hours left, Aria faced her final obstacle: the ultimate villainess, the Blood Empress. As the clock ticked down, her frustration mounted. Three hours turned into one hour, then forty minutes, and finally thirty minutes. Despite her best efforts, she failed to defeat the Blood Empress, losing the bet and a significant amount of money. Enraged by her failure, Aria had an explosive episode on stream, cursing the game makers for creating such an impossibly difficult boss. In the midst of her outburst, something extraordinary happened. Aria found herself inexplicably transported into the game world of "Elemental Ascension." To her shock, she realized she had been reincarnated as the Blood Empress herself. However, she was not the powerful villainess she once fought; instead, she was a lowly farm girl at the beginning of the Blood Empress's journey. Determined to change her fate, Aria decided to forge a new path for herself. With her extensive knowledge of the game, she explored various professions, from becoming a merchant to a blacksmith, or even gathering medicinal ingredients. She chose to live out her days as a normal passerby, avoiding the main plot and the dark destiny that awaited her. However, despite her efforts to lead a peaceful life, fate had other plans. From the beginning, Aria's destiny as the Blood Empress was already sealed, but she hadn't realized it until it was too late.

In this new world, I had parents, amazing ones at that. My father was a talented mage, and my lovely mother was a sharp and cunning merchant. Ignoring all of my weirdness, they loved me unconditionally. This was the life that anyone would love. Eating and cooking delicious food, practicing archery and magic, and playing with my parents. Everything was wonderful until... those demons separated us and it left me in a ferocious forbidden forest, just to be eaten alive by beasts. But dying wasn't even a question. I will go back… to them. * The novel cover is not mine. https://discord.gg/ExYHhhv4mn Still lacking but, join if you want~! The update will be mostly 1Ch/day.
