What is the purpose of living, really?
If everything we see is just a world full of lies.That's what a girl once said. But why would she think that way, when everyone else seems to be enjoying their own lives?
Her life was lonely, like the moon searching for a star it could never find.
Claire Meredith, an ordinary girl, yet her world felt empty. She lived in a city filled with advanced technology and breathtaking inventions. But behind the glittering skyline lay a country unlike any other,a country unknown to the world, where magic lived and breathed.
Claire possessed magic within her, but she had no interest in it. To her, magic was nothing but an illusion,something useless. Besides, her distrust in magic made it difficult for her to use it properly.
But one day, Claire's grandmother asked to meet her at the mountain near her home.
"Claire, go to the past and find your happiness." - Violet Meredith.
Violet Meredith, the most powerful mage in the country, spoke those words with certainty. Yet Claire could not understand why her grandmother wanted her to travel to the past. Nothing would change. To her, the world was nothing but suffering.
So what was going to happen? What was the purpose of all this?
When Claire finally arrived in the past, she expected her life to remain the same. But the city she saw was completely different. It had no technology. No floating robots watching over the streets. No flying vehicles in the sky. Nothing from the future existed there. For someone who grew up surrounded by advanced machines, living in this old world became a struggle.
But she's met so many people's. They have all sorts of friends. Turns out they are Claire's cheerleaders. She never knew that having friends was a good thing.
What will happen next?
Will she finally understand what life is truly meant to feel like?

"You better not tell anyone about this."
"Aw why not? I'm sure your fandom of desperate girls would love to know that their precious prince charming needs a babysitter." I smile innocently back at his death glare.
"I'm serious, nerd. I could make your life hell."
