The Merchant Princess's Magical Online Emporium

•CHAPTER 3•

Yxellra's POV

I found myself in a vast, dimly lit room, furnished with a dusty, ornate writing desk.

The memories and knowledge of my new life as Yxellra filled my mind, but it was a confusing jumble of half-remembered experiences and emotions.

To make sense of it all, I needed a plan.

I settled into the plush chair, pen in hand, and began to write down my thoughts.

I needed to find a way to survive and thrive in this world where I was treated as an unwanted burden.

The possibilities seemed endless. How could I earn the favor of my new family? My thoughts raced as I considered the following options:

1. **Talent and Knowledge**: I could prove my worth by showcasing any special abilities or knowledge I might possess.

2. **Kindness and Compassion**: Winning the affection of those around me through kindness and understanding.

3. **Friendships**: Forming genuine connections and allies among the staff and residents of the duchy.

4. **Accomplishments**: Achieving notable feats or accomplishments to gain recognition and respect.

As I pondered these options, I realized that my reincarnation had bestowed me with a unique ability - the power to heal.

This gift could not only mend physical wounds but also soothe the hearts of those in pain. It was a tool that could help me earn the love and respect I so desperately sought.

Just as I was lost in thought, Whiskerwyn reappeared, as if summoned by my contemplation.

The cat's green eyes sparkled with mischievous wisdom as it delivered its cryptic message.

"Yxellra, there's more to your abilities than you realize. You now possess a connection to a hidden online store of the modern world, accessible only to you. It holds the key to countless possibilities. Good luck, my dear," the cat mused before vanishing once more.

Confused but determined, I contemplated the cat's words and decided to give it a try.

"Open sesame," I murmured, not really expecting anything to happen. To my astonishment, the ornate writing desk transformed, revealing a holographic display brimming with an array of items I had never seen before.

There were clothing, gadgets, books, and even food from the modern world.

But there was a catch: the system had a condition. To purchase these items, I would need to complete tasks that would accumulate a currency I could spend in this online store. The modern world's savings I had inherited had also been transferred, swelling my virtual wallet.

Just as I marveled at the possibilities before me, the door to my room burst open with a bang.

Startled, I looked up to see a furious maid enter, carrying a tray of food.

She placed the tray on the ground and, with a tone that left no room for argument, barked, "Stop being picky. Eat that!"

As the maid stormed out, I stared at the unappetizing meal before me - a stale piece of bread and a slightly rotting banana.

I sighed, realizing that life in this new world would indeed be a challenge.

But with my newfound abilities, the enigmatic online store, and a determined spirit, I was determined to carve a path of survival and success in this unfamiliar land.

In the end I cautiously take a bite of the bread, my thoughts filled with the infinite possibilities and mysteries that lay ahead.
