She's The Heroine, Not Me

Chapter 1

Edited version of @Lady_Cattelle 's

3rd Person

A girl was standing in the middle of the road, picking the latest otome game. The game she held in her hands like it was her heart and soul was called "Doki Heart Kyun!"

This otome game had five sets where the heroine will travel to 5 kingdoms. Each one has 5 capture targets. 'In total, there are 25 capture targets but if you don't really think about it then... The more the merrier,' she thought. She still loved the game.

When she was about to pick up the last set, a truck came speeding towards her, and soon, her body had been struck by that powerful force. The girl's last thoughts were strange. Instead of regretting her life, or how she would miss her family, she simply thought, "At least let me finish the game first."

Dawn's POV

'Huh? Where am I?' I asked myself, confused. It was dark, and I felt like the 'walls' were squeezing me. Suddenly, something pulled me harshly out of the dark place.

When I came out, giant people were holding me which made me freak out for a moment. All the eyes in the room were on me. Then it clicked. I was a baby!

They gave me to a pale, beautiful lady which made me think, "I must be her child or something."

My mother gave me a beautiful smile, tears running down her pale, tired face. Of course, she was tired, she just gave birth to me after all!

Despite that, she looked absolutely stunning. Silver hair, charming crystal eyes, pale white skin, a small button nose, and smooth, red pouty lips.

For the first time in my life, I felt a mysterious warmth. It wasn't bad, in fact, it felt good. Because it was the first time, ever, that I felt someone truly loved and cared for me.

In my previous life, my parents were anything but kind parents who would spoil their children to no ends. Every day I would go to school and come home with new bruises, wounds, and bandages on my body. Forget about my parents, I was also bullied at school. There was no place I was safe.

"I'm a mistake, aren't I? That's why everyone does this?" Was what I started to think when parts of my body would be throbbing in pain. But when I discovered otome games, it gave me hope and made me dream things I would never normally. Maybe there was somewhere where I was safe, where I was loved, even if it wasn't, and never will be, a reality.

Suddenly, the door swung open and a handsome man walked in. He had short black hair and a pair of blood-colored eyes. Overall, he looked really cool and mysterious.

He walked up to me and my mother with a huge smile on his face. He smiled charmingly while looking at me, making me giggle a bit.

"She's beautiful, just like you," Papa (I think) said while looking at me and Mama with a beautiful smile which made me giggle yet again.

I know, I know, it's weird I'm not blushing but instead giggling. Well, he's actually my blood-related dad now. And also, it's kind of funny because I remember those boys in my school who kept trying to impress me. I mean, that also followed up with bad memories. How those girls made my life even more of a living hell.

Papa scooped me up and raised me in the air like Simba, smiling brightly.

"What's her name?"

"Her name is...," Mom contemplated, "Ameliliquaei Dawn!"
