ECHOES OF DESTINY
Rose, a hardworking girl with a sorrowful past, lived a solitary life. Balancing school by day and working at a supermarket by night, she dreamt of a better future. Her hard work paid off when she received news of her scholarship acceptance to a prestigious academy. However, her joy was short-lived when she was tragically stabbed in a dark alley on her way home.
The next morning, Rose awakens in an unfamiliar body, no longer herself but Aira Alberst, a side character from a high school magic novel she once read. Aira, known for her beauty hidden beneath heavy makeup, was the villainess who tormented the protagonist, Beatrice Sweeny. Confused and disoriented, Aira struggles to understand her new reality while trying to avoid the fate of her character, who meets a tragic end.
Determined to navigate her new life, Aira attends the prestigious academy, only to face hostility from the wealthy students who look down on her for being on a scholarship. As she grapples with her new identity and the disdain of her peers, she meets Ruby, a divine fairy who offers to help her understand her existence in this world. Ruby, a small, fluffy white rabbit, reveals that she knows Aira is not from this world and promises to assist her.
To sustain herself, Aira finds a job at a magical shop called Enchanted Haven, owned by the enigmatic Mr. Lixon Druce. Despite her hopes of learning about magic, she is assigned the task of cleaning, as her mana is too weak for more advanced work. Undeterred, Aira accepts the job, knowing it is a step towards uncovering the mysteries of her new life.
As Aira prepares for her first day at the academy, she is filled with apprehension about the challenges ahead. With Ruby by her side, she resolves to navigate this new world, avoid the pitfalls of her character's original fate, and find a way back to her own life. Amidst the magical intrigues and social hierarchies, Aira's journey of self-discovery and survival begins, with each step bringing her closer to uncovering the truth behind her reincarnation.
