(P.O.V chapter)
My name is Aqua Infinity.
My name, Aqua, comes from my mother, who told me it came from her teacher who died while protecting her, and the Infinity comes from my family name.
I have been going by that name for nearly twenty-five years.
Nevertheless, when I was younger, I made the decision to flee even though I was the next in line to lead the Infinity Household.
Unfortunately, Aunt Hestia learned of my plan by accident.
"What motivates you to run? Do you have any money? Can you give up the life you already have?"
I am just a meek girl, and I respect my aunt as my mother's sister, so I could not respond.
Despite this, she did not stop me; instead, she assisted me.
I was 14 years old at the time, and I was already old enough to study.
In an aristocratic family, the head of the household would typically assign a tutor to their descendant or allow them to attend the royal school, but I reject that idea because I intend to flee.
However, my Aunt suggests that instead of fleeing, I study at Academy City.
My mother passed away a year ago, but my father has already found a partner?
Does he even love my mother?
I am heartbroken that my father has forgotten my mother and me, but it is okay...
From now on, I will be as free as I want and promise myself that I will never fall for anyone.
…
In my first in the Academy City, they taught us how to read and write.
My aunt taught me sometimes when I was a child so that year is an easy peasy.
In our second year, they taught us some literature, basic knowledge, and how to survive.
This year is quite advance but most people were able to manage to pass.
Of course, for me, it is such an easy year too… is something I wanted to say but the practical exam, especially the physical exam, makes me want to run away every time it happens.
I have a weak body ever since I born, adding with my laziness in my life, I don't want to attend the practical subject.
Unfortunately, the grades there is something I need so I try my best, although it took many times but I was able to pass.
…
For the rest of my life, I decided to be an adventurer, so I joined the SGKS.
In my third year, I heard that some alumni were returning to teach for a day.
There I met Angelina Valentine, the strongest diamond of her era.
However, for no apparent reason, this is how I met this idiot.
"Hey girl, want some candy?"
Yup, nothing changed.
Erica Hambell has such a childlike brain that I could not leave her alone.
She may act like a tomboy at times, but she is the most active when it comes to romantic conversations.
Despite her beauty, no one wanted to be her boyfriend.
Unfortunately, the same gender has different ideas.
When the day was over, I assumed I would never see her again, but when I graduated, I had no idea she would live in the same manor as I would from now on.
She recognized me right away, even though I had already somewhat forgotten about her.
And after six years of living under the same roof, we have grown close enough that I can call her a friend.
…
"Which place am I?"
When I awoke, I found myself in a white world.
Oh… yeah… I finally remembered.
One day, Jack told us that he discovered a hidden dungeon in the Zura Forest.
Vince was hesitant to accept his request, but eventually agreed.
I am also curious about the hidden dungeon because I could get new jewels and other accessories, but I quickly regret it.
It took us 7 hours of walking through the forest to reach our destination.
We formed a team because we had been friends since childhood.
Vince is one of the Leviathan Household's three young masters, and Jack is the son of a merchant who has some ties to my family.
We played a lot together and had known each other for a long time, so we assumed our team compatibility would be perfect.
Well, only when fighting.
As a healer and mage, my mana grows every day, but my physical abilities cannot keep up.
Before we enter the hidden dungeon, Vince hands me a rectangular device.
"It is called a smartphone. A device for communication."
"Sma… pon?"
"Smartphone. In any case, it is an incredible device. Simply put some mana in and it will open; then, tap the logos you see to learn more about their uses."
As he stated, it is an incredible device.
After registering our contacts, we select our doors.
Jack chose the left door, I took the middle door, and Vince chose the right door.
That is how I ended up in this white world.
At first, I was intrigued by this location, but my life was more important, so I decided to activate some magic around me in preparation for an incoming attack and call my teammates to find out where they were.
I was about to try when someone punched me in the cheeks.
Luckily, my smartphone gets in the way, but it also breaks.
Now I have no way to contact them.
Suddenly, another attack struck my stomach, causing me to vomit.
I used a lot of defense and alerting magic, so how come I could not feel where the attacks were coming?
However, I could not think because the attacks were coming like a storm, and nothing could stop them.
In the end, I used all of my magic to heal myself, but that is not the reason I feel broken inside.
I thought I had died, but when I awoke, I found myself naked and bathed in blood.
I realize right now that my hell is about to begin.
