Lyra Catorphe always was lacking compared to others. In a world of royalty, nobility and magic, in the eyes of her peers, she was ordinary and pathetic. Born into the family of respectable mages, she was expected to wield great magical capabilities, like her father, the renown Moon Shadow Mage and her mother, the leader of the Oyster Guild. So, pushed into the shadows of her sister, who's fame was, too, rising, she became the "Unextraordinary Catorphe." After being diagnosed with a deadly illness, Lyra soon dies. On the other side of the world, one of the most powerful mages alive, Aubriella Diedella, the daughter of a powerful duke, died at the exact moment. And due to unknown reasons... she wakes up, finding herself alive... in the body of Lyra Catorphe? Aubriella could sense great magical potential within her new body, one that was very promising, one that Lyra did not have the talent to recognize and develop. Hidden deep inside her was a magical potential that Aubriella found absolutely intriguing. Aubriella, who, in her past life, was a swordsman and magic user, decided to use her past knowledge to improve her new life. Gaining Lyra's previous memories, Aubriella is determined to cultivate Lyra's powers and make her way up to the top.
