Mistress Of The Evil Forest

C-A 1: A not-so-happy transmigration.

''Mgm...''

It's cold... Did she take my blanket away or something...?

''Mhmm...''

...I can't sleep with this.

''My blanket...'' I mutter, opening my eyes slowly. ''Huh?!''

Before my cloudy eyes is an unfamiliar ceiling with a big, luxurious chandelier. I look around, an unfamiliar bed, an unfamiliar room.

''Ah, ah, ah...''

And an unfamiliar voice... D-Don't tell me...!

I immediately spring to my feet and run to the dressing table in the corner.

In the mirror is the reflection of a gorgeous young girl with light blonde hair and ocean blue eyes, who looks to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. I know her. It's the girl that I've seen lots of times already. The main villainess of my favorite RPG game [Astra Magical Academy] - Amelia Luminous.

''...''

I move my hand, and the girl in the mirror moves her hand accordingly, I move my head, and the girl in the mirror moves her head accordingly.

I have become the villainess...

THUD

I slam the table with both of my hands, biting my lips in frustration.

Why?! Why does it have to be me?!

I loved the concept, but I never wanted to go through it at all!

What's the point of transmigrating into a game world if I can't meet her anymore?? And what about my family? My friends?

Please tell me that this is a dream. No, this has to be a dream. When I wake up, I will be hugging that heavy sleeper as usual, yes.

''...''

Please...

clack

The big door in the side opens, revealing a nervous-looking maid with a pair of low black wings folded in front of her abdomen.

''M-My lady, is there something wrong...?'' She bows her head deeply, hands and legs shaking.

...Amelia is known for her short temper and violent personality, and coupled with my frowning face right now... No wonder she's scared. Usually, the right move here would be to treat her gently to gradually restore Amelia's reputation, but...

''Nothing. Leave me alone.''

I'm not in the mood.

''Understood...!'' The maid hurriedly closes the door.

''...''

I turn around with a heavy sigh and walk slowly toward the bed, my steps heavy as if I were walking with weights on my ankles.

puff

I flop down the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

What am I going to do from now on...? 

''Hic... sniff... Hgn...''

Just the thought of never seeing them again is enough to make me cry. Not to mention Aurora, she doesn't have a family or anyone close to her other than me... 

Just why...

knock knock

''My lady...?''

''...''

''My lady, please excuse me.''

clack

The door opens and the maid walks in. On her hands I vaguely see something, a tray of food, I'd imagine. Because I can smell it.

''Tch, so bright.'' I mutter, covering my eyes with my arm.

''My lady, please eat something.'' The maid puts the tray on the table nearby. ''It's been a day already...''

''...''

At first, she was afraid of me, but the more I refused to eat, the more attentive and bold she became. It's not like Amelia abused her servants at every turn or anything, she doesn't have that kind of fetish. Her notoriety comes mostly from how easily she would snap and throw a tantrum at every little thing. As long as everything is 'right', according to her, Amelia will just be another dignified noblewoman. 

''...My lady.'' The maid stands on the side of the bed, her slit yellow eyes glow intensely in the dark. ''I don't know what made you like this, but please cheer up. His Excellency and Her Excellency are both worried about you.''

''...Hey. Can I ask something?'' I slowly sit myself up.

''By all means, please.''

''What if there was something important, more important than your life, that you wanted to accomplish, but you knew you wouldn't be able to do it?''

The maid closes her eyes and ponders for a bit.

''As Archmage Kieran once said: 'As long as you believe in yourself, you can do anything.', I think so too, my lady.''

''Do you think I can be a god, then?''

'''' ... ''''

''You absolutely can, my lady.''

''Pfft- Hahahahah!''

''...?''

You're right. You're so right. Why did I not think about that? What was I depressed about anyway?

I can just be a god, and then teleport back to Earth! I can meet Aurora, my friends, and my family again, definitely.

''Hgn~'' I stretch out and walk toward the window.

''My lady?''

''Hah...'' I let out a refreshed sigh after yanking the curtain aside.

This is undoubtedly a game world, and in the past, there were two things that I was known for: Being a hardcore gamer, and being the biggest simp for Aurora. There is no way I would fail in this world that was basically made for me.

Status.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, the interface looks so cool...

Hmm, when Amelia appeared in the story for the first time, which was in the Opening Ceremony of the academy, her level was 36, so that means that it is now the time before... Wait.

''What date is it now?'' I turn around. ''Full date.''

''...It is now July 20th, 1834, my lady.''

So roughly half a year before the opening ceremony.

Aside from that though... It seems like my brain is not working very well, likely due to lack of food, and lack of Aurora.

''Bring me some tea. I'll eat right away.'' I let out a small sigh.

''Understood, my lady!'' She bows excitedly and exits the room.

Those wings sure look smooth and warm to the touch, huh...

To begin with, that girl is not a normal maid. Her name is Nydia, a raven girl who just happens to be a capture target.

That's right, in addition to the combat and growth aspect of the game, there's also a romance element to it. You can try to woo different heroines to be your lifelong companion, even Amelia herself has a separate route for the player to conquer her. Oh, the protagonist - Claire is set to be a girl, so it is a Yuri game. Most people just play it for the action part though.

Nydia is a hidden heroine of sorts, because she rarely appears in front of the protagonist, so the chances of increasing her affinity are pathetically low.

Either way, I don't need to concern myself with that, instead, I have to plan my future first.

Amelia was not a bad person inherently in the story, she was just being used as a puppet by an evil organization, and then being used as a puppet by the real antagonists. It's just unfortunate.

But as long as I avoid contact with them, I should be fine.

So all that's left is to train myself to death, defeat all the enemies, and ascend to godhood.

Wait for me, Aurora. I'll definitely make you my bride someday.
