If I was given a new life, why would I waste it following destiny?

(This ain’t a romance novel, I don’t know why Webnovel put it like that) Alice Knight’s dream of becoming a culinary artist was cut short after being shot in a robbery. Fallen into a coma with only her thoughts to accompany her, when a different voice offered her a new chance at life, would anyone have refused? Magic, A new land, and interesting people- the catch? She was destined to waste the entirety of this life as the hero destined to save the world, fighting terrifying demons and the like. “If I was given a new life, why would I waste it following destiny?”
