"Second chance at life?.." I questioned, "Alright so who am I exactly." I asked holding onto the necklace, "
'currently, you have become lady Theodosia Elvah Axion, an 8-year-old who is currently reading a book in the backyard.'

"Currently reading—" you looked to your side and noticed the so-called book 'the book will show different context to everyone else, for you, it will show important events that will happen, your objective is, do not die.' I read the text shown in front of me. 'Ah so, I don't have to die...easy!' I smiled "I mean who would try to kill an 8-year-old child,' I stood up picking up the book as I walked towards the backdoor, wanting to know my appearance,

Picking up my pace I quickly entered the rich-looking mansion, "which way is my room..?" I quietly questioned my necklace, a faint pink arrow appeared which lead to my room,  walking inside it, I noticed how dull it looked "the entire way towards my room looked so rich and full, even lively.. why does this room look so...dead" I question myself, walking further in the room

I looked around before catching my appearance in a mirror. My eyes widen as I walked towards the broken mirror, the reflection showed a small girl with long pink hair and cyan eyes which seemed to lean towards the green side more, but in the sunlight more towards the blue side, there was a mole right on the side of my eye, which was small but still noticeable if looked closely, I smiled at my appearance

"Ah, so I'm super cute!" I smiled brightly "Alright Theodosia is the name I go by now, this might be my redemption in life, so I will take it." I said intertwining my hands and moving them closer to my face while closing my eyes "thank you, God..sss..? For granting me another chance at life"  I opened them after finishing my sentence, "I will surely not die in this life." I smirked

Letting go of my hand I took the necklace and put it on, "is it possible to communicate differently?" I questioned as I looked at my outfit 'It is possible once you level your rank, currently you are ranked 0, with 0 exp. You need 50 exp. To communicate through thoughts and unlock the 'Questioning bar',' I nodded "how do I gain exp?" I questioned

"Through quest, raising favorability, doing good deeds, raise your status, gain knowledge, upgrades, gain status and much more." I read and nodded "thank you, do you have a name?" 'You may call me Ecklis' you smiled "thank you Ecklis," you quickly opened your book

'Okay, so—' before I could start reading and checking it, a maid walked in "My Lady you can't just walk away without saying anything. Do you know the trouble we will be in if we don't know where you're at?" The maid said while rolling her eyes seemingly not caring about the lady

"Name?" You whispered looking at the lady 'her name is Louise she's 21, a maid who neglects lady Theodosia,' my eyes lowered as I looked at the information, I looked back up at Louise, keeping my bored and unimpressed gaze on her "Theodosia, you can't glare at people like that! No wonder your father pays no attention to you." I raised an eyebrow before sighing "what's your status." I questioned "tsk, Theodosia should know it, I'm your maid," she said annoyingly narrowing her eyes

"Who's maid?" I questioned "Well yours but—" "so why are you talking to your master like that?" I gave her a dead-eye stare, a chill ran down her spine "Theodosia, do not look at me like that! Do you know what I can do to you—" "keep it quiet, you are a mere maid, even if father dislikes me, I can easily remove you from your position, understood?" I tilted my head just the slightest

"...yes, Theodosia.." "tsk, I believe you need to learn some manners" I glared at her "...I apologise lady Theodosia" I smiled "good, now take your leave." She glared one last time at me before leaving.

'Well done, you got 20 exp.' You read with a bright smile "right, Ecklis, I need information about my so-called father?"

'Letum Ares Axion 31 years old, does not have any relation with any of his kids. Currently hasn't seen Theodosia and barely knows about her whereabouts,' "shitty father much," I commented 'distant personality ..................., no more information can be said.' I raised my brow "why?" 'Low rank.' I furrowed my brows "so to get more information about something specific I need to have a higher rank?" 'Correct.' I sighed heavily
