Eira Jones lived a mundane life struggling to get by, her only luxury was the free Kendo lessons the school provided for her. Winning the championship was probably the best solution to her worries: the lack of money.

However, even before she got to enjoy the prize money she burned to death so agonisingly, due to her trashy landlord. So when she found herself reincarnated as an extra in an R19 novel, she was indifferent.

The world of the novel was a place of fantasy, where swordsmen and mages existed. As well as other mythological creatures and beings like Elves, demons, orcs, nymphs and the like.

It was an R19 novel so she obviously read it for the sex scenes and romance. However, she obviously knew the names of the characters and the fact that it was set in the Arcadian Empire, but it's fine because she's doesn't even have anything to do with them.

She doesn't even live there, let alone know anyone from there.

It's fine!

The story which is about Dahlia, a girl who grows up in an orphanage and possesses divine power. As seen as a goddess by the people for her amazing healing talent, she almost gets kidnapped by the young emperor. Who tries to possessively keep her by his side, after falling into an obsessive love with her.

Grand Duke Fredrick,the true hero, who initially detests the church for not being able to save his mother as a child. Helps to free her from the emperor, who she thanks completely with a sincere heart.

In the battle against the surge of rising man-eating orcs, he ends up falling in love with the heroine. Impressed by her motivation and kindness that she could be able to heal every single person she came across.

He confides in her and ends up healing his tortured and regretful heart... with lots of smut moments-of course.

Heh.

Unfortunate for the emperor it is said he gets killed by a poisoned arrow, after dodging one aiming for his heart unable to miss by a fraction. A poison laced dagger that struck his lower abdomen, even if the damage wasn't detrimental the toxin derived from orcs blood is fatal.

They get married-happily ever after and all that! Replacing the deceased Emperor to become the Arcadius Empires new rulers.

When she woke up and remembered her past life she was quite depressed for a while, however although she doesn't have a family like normal people. She's not alone.

In the Demetrian Forest which after the war with the humans and man eating beasts, King Constantine Alder Blythe gave his decree bestowing the unoccupied forests of the North to the Elves.

Never to be seen again by the humans, who had took advantage of their healing and weaponry talents in the war. They left with a conclusion of a treaty of peace, that would continue for 200 years.

At the start of the novel is where the treaty ends.

Here she lives a carefree lifestyle under the care of their queen Danae, who treats her like a daughter. Other elves treat her incredibly respectfully as if they are afraid of angering her, but she is mostly uncaring which they take as her being incredibly kind.

According to what Danae explained is that she's 'like a Demi-god?', in that she is a vessel of pure divine power. There is so much, that it can be reflected in her skin, eyes and hair that is without colour.

When she saw her physical appearance she was really surprised, even the people she's come across in the forest seem to look at her as if she's a ghost.

However, the Elves and the Fae protect her and have really considered her their own and helped her adapt to this world properly. By teaching her the basics of survival: how to fight and tap in to her divine power.

Learning through the understanding of a variety of old Elvish scripts and sitting through several hour lectures. She has always been good at studying and also has an interest in learning languages, so it wasn't particularly hard to figure out.

Not having anything to do, also has helped her leaps and bounds and she doesn't even have to touch another person and can activate innate healing.

Though she is now at the point of being able to control it at will, it leaks from her body. Augustine, Danae's son who treats her protectively like a younger sister gifted her with a beaded bracelet. Forged using elvish steel, and Phoenix tears found by him on one of his travels traversing with dwarves.

The only drawback is that it reduces her appearance to that of a child and helps store her divine power, for when she might have to use it.

But when? I don't know.

She's so lazy and indifferent that she mostly spends her days napping because she gets bored.
