Alicia escaped the wrath of the almighty truck of isekai. Only to later choke on celebratory ice cream. A true shame indeed.

After her unfortunate death, Alicia finds herself reincarnated into a different world, gaining the name Meridith Celcelis Virtutis. However, unlike other protagonists she didn't have overpowered talents, she was only able to become a B grade magician at best.

Her dreams crushed by the weight of her unlucky nature, she decided that she would still pursue her dream. But will she succeed?

A/N:
I've pretty much given up on this now. It's not good, the plot is cringey af, the premise is as unoriginal as ever but idk. I managed to get up to the end of the planned intro part. No literally, the first 14-ish chapters are all the introduction.  If I had more will while I actually liked this story then I might have stuck through with it till now.

One week later, her best friend brought her to another world(s). This is Alicia Bell's tale. --- Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a multiple worlds and protagonists isekai web novel series about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds.

Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like JoJo. --- Note: A bug was triggered which caused this book to be split into two.

The Art Of Getting Rich Again by Vissius
5 parts Ongoing
She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.
