Chapter 1: A New Beginning

Rose had always longed for a better life, but as an orphan in the normal world, it seemed like an unattainable dream. Despite the hardships, she never gave up hope, working tirelessly to improve her circumstances. Then, one fateful evening, everything changed.

As Rose made her way home after another exhausting day at her cooperate job, fate intervened. A sudden accident took her by surprise, and the world around her faded into darkness. When she regained consciousness, it was as if she had been reborn.

She opened her eyes to find herself in a new body, that of an infant girl named Sofia. Confused and disoriented, Sofia soon realized that she retained memories from her past life as Rose. However, this was no ordinary world; it was a place teeming with mythical creatures, all living among humans, unbeknownst to them.

Sofia's new life began in front of an orphanage, owned by a kind and elderly werewolf couple. They sensed the uniqueness of the baby and recognized the divine aura that surrounded her. Yet, they decided to keep this knowledge hidden, for they knew that she was destined for greatness.

The orphanage itself was unlike any other. Magical energies imbued the surroundings, and the creatures living there cared for the human children under their watchful eyes. Though they were not aware of Sofia's true identity, the creatures naturally felt drawn to her, offering her warmth and protection.

As the years passed, Sofia grew into a remarkable child. Her intelligence and knowledge far surpassed that of the other children at the orphanage. Recognizing her potential, the elder werewolf couple decided to send her to school despite their limited resources.

In school, Sofia became the only child from the orphanage to attend. Embracing her role as a mentor, she selflessly taught the other children during her free time, passing on her wisdom and forging deep connections with them. The children adored her and saw her as a guiding light in their lives.

For a decade, Sofia led a relatively normal life, making friends with both humans and mythical creatures. Yet, she remained blissfully unaware of the supernatural world she inhabited and her true identity as the Goddess Queen of all creatures.

Everything changed when, on a sunny afternoon, a mysterious couple arrived at the orphanage expressing interest in adopting a child. These humans, however, were not what they seemed. Their aura betrayed their true nature as powerful mythical beings.

Sofia, now a young girl of ten, watched as the adopting couple entered the orphanage grounds. The moment they stepped through the gate, a chill ran down her spine. There was something about them, an air of concealed darkness that sent a warning signal to her instincts.

Unsure of the source of her discomfort, Sofia observed them from afar. She noticed their smiles, seemingly genuine, but behind them, there lurked a hidden motive. Her connection to the mystical world allowed her to sense the negative energy that enveloped the couple.

As the elder werewolf couple, Amelia and Edward, greeted the visitors warmly, Sofia kept her distance, torn between her apprehensions and the knowledge that her departure could bring financial support to the other children in the orphanage. She knew that the adopting couple's regular donations would ensure the orphanage's well-being, and that weighed heavily on her heart.

But despite the promised donations, Sofia couldn't shake the unsettling feeling about one of the adoptive parents. As the couple engaged in conversation with Amelia and Edward, she observed the interaction, her intuition nagging at her.

The adopting couple's intent to adopt a child became apparent, and Sofia's unease intensified. She found herself avoiding direct eye contact with the couple, unable to ignore the nagging doubt that clouded her judgment.

When the couple's gaze fell upon her, Sofia felt a jolt of discomfort. It was as if they were peering into her soul, and the feeling was suffocating. Nevertheless, she tried to put on a brave face, burying her unease beneath a smile that felt forced.

Deep down, she knew that a life-altering decision loomed ahead. As the adopting couple expressed their desire to be her parents, Sofia's heart wrestled with conflicting emotions. Her desire for a loving family warred with her instinctive distrust of the couple.

But before she could fully comprehend her feelings, the adopting couple approached her, their outstretched hands waiting to embrace her. Sofia hesitated for a brief moment, her heart pounding in her chest. Ultimately, her sense of responsibility for the other children outweighed her personal apprehensions.

With a deep breath, she took their hands, accepting their offer to be her parents. A mix of relief and trepidation washed over her. Her decision had been made, and her life was about to embark on a new chapter.

As she said her goodbyes to Amelia and Edward, Sofia couldn't shake the nagging feeling that clung to her like a shadow. The orphanage had been her sanctuary, and the children and creatures her family. The thought of leaving it all behind filled her with a sense of loss.

But destiny had spoken, and a new path had been set in motion. With her newfound parents at her side, Sofia's life was about to take an extraordinary turn, one that would lead her deeper into the enigmatic world of mythical creatures and unveil the true extent of her powers as the Goddess Queen.
