It's been months since I learned that this world is exactly the same as the otome game I played before I died.
Knowing the possibility of the end of my life in the future, I started planning how and what I should do to escape from my death flag.
And since I was only less than two years old, a toddler like me have no abilities other than to study this world, learning what kind of world this is and calculate the steps I should do in the future.
First and foremost, I need to learn history.
Knowing the history of this world I can create a plan of escape and what kind of life I should have if I really can escape from my destiny.
I look again to my notebook and started to write down the things I remembered in my past life.
Reincarnation into an otome game is not new in the novels written by many authors and since it can really happen like what I am currently now, I tried to think those otome game stories I read before and what kind of plan they did. I might be able to use their moves as a future reference.
[a/n: a bit recommndation of the stories I read so far, and since I don't have any idea of what I should write, I added those stories in this chapter to make it long lols]
In Tiararose (from Akuyaku Reijou wa Ringoku no Oitaishi ni Dekiai Sareru, written by Puni-chan) story, there is much reference I can use since she remembered her past life on the day when her engagement was cancelled by her fiancee just like Iris of Common Sense of the Duke's Daughter but unlike Tiararose, who got a help from a prince of other country, Iris used her brain to improved their fief by starting her own businesses.
The other stories that I can recall was like Camille of An Otome Game's Burikko Villainess Turned into a Magic Otaku who was an otaku like me and focus her life in magic and befriend the love targets;
Bakarina I mean, Katarina of I Reincarnated into an Otome Game as a Villainess with Only Destruction Flags, who plan to become a farmer and piqued the interest of those captured targets because of her naivety and stupidity personality;
While Felicia of Lady Rose Wants To Be A Commoner was reincarnated as a heroine but did everything and became the villain just to be a simple baker;
In Otome Game Rokkushuume, Automode ga Kiremashita, Mariabell was different from the others because when she first reincarnated, she needed to experienced her horrible fate for five times! No control of her own body until the sixth rebirth where she got to do her own decisions and tried to escape and changing her own fate. Poor girl;
I'm also thinking of following the paths of what Ruca did, from I Reincarnated Into Otome Game As Love Rival of ZanaSeiyuu, who aside from her superb martial arts, manipulating poison and smart brain, she pursue her love of her life, the hateful crown prince but was misunderstood and betrayed by her sister, the heroine but... I back down this idea. I think I prefer not to meet those kinds of people;
Maybe I will follow the calculated and smart Mira of Reincarnated As The Villainess Older Sister (written by DogFace_123) who used her genius brain to silence those who tried to harm their family. She's not only smart and beautiful but also brave and strong;
And the last story I can remember is Reina from I Am In An Otome Game by SoraSenjyu which she became a strong knight but sadly her mother died because of her hateful villain father.
I breathe out a deep sigh and think of those stories [a/n: I still have many books I want to recommend but they are too many. Lazy to think more], what should I do?
If by mental age, I might be more or less 30 years old but since because I like anime/manga/novel I became childish just like Bakarina and Camille *sigh* but I like to be Iris and Mira who used their brain to create their own route.
Can I really escape from that scary fate or destiny is really inevitable?
"Hello Celine, Celine Hello! Back to earth Celine"
I snapped back when I heard my brother calling me. Why I forgot that right now, I am together with him to study here in library.
"Niishama" I pout at him
"What?"
"Nisshama wat iif you wash weinkarnayted and wemember wat will hafen to you in futchur and you shee you will die. Wat will you do?" I asked him seriously because he look at me with those amaze expression before he cough and tilted his head like he was in deep thought.
"I will use that memory for my advantage"
"Why?"
"Because I will become invincible" his chest out and straightened his back like he was proud of his own idea.
Eh?
Maybe because he saw me with a doubtful expression, he smiled at me. The smile he loves to show at me since we became close. The smile I like about him.
He pats my head as he said to me, "With the use of those memories. I will know what kind of decision I can make and I might be able to escape from making a wrong decision or ending my own life. Humans are not perfect, and life is so short... to have a happy and free life, you will use every card you have as an advantage and this memory is your advantage"
"But wat iif you kent eskayp fram deshtini?"
He tilted his head and scratches his face, crossed his arm and closed his eyes. "Then go with the flow". He open his left eye and said, "if you can't escape from fate then walk together with fate and smile", he lowers his head so I can have a better view of his tantalizing yet serious indigo blue eyes, "remember this Celine. You are the captain of your own life. Fate might hinder you like a storm in the sea but as a captain, you will use your strength to maneuver your vessel to escape from disaster. Fate will always be with you and it will help you to sharpen and honed yourself from its experience. And the most important of all... be happy and enjoy life"
Be happy and enjoy life
That's right niisama. I will be happy and enjoy my life.
Who cares about those hateful heroine and love targets? They don't own me as I don't own them. I don't need them and control my life. They have their own, as I have my own... and just like what niisama says, I will enjoy my second life because I might not be as lucky to have a third life.
And just like what he said, I will use this memory to my advantage.
Yosh! Let's dig more history book
According to this history book, the name Ygdrassil came from the name of Ygdrassil tree or known as Tree of Life.
This Tree of Life is in the heart of the world, the very center with the very richest mana in this world.
Near the Ygdrassil tree, there are four countries or kingdoms which guard the Tree of Life: Arcadia Country, which Ygdrassil Magic Academy located; Fontalia Kingdom, the elves domain; Atlantis Kingdom, the mermaids' domain; and the largest of four, the fairies kingdom, Lemuria Kingdom.
After these four largest kingdoms are three continents: the Heimr continent, Zion continent, and Agartha continent.
Heimr continent are forbidden to humans unless you have an invitation because it is the domain of beastmen, vampires, ghoul, and other nonhuman beings.
Zion is a legendary continent. Many rumors say that Zion is kingdom of Gods and located to the sky. And non-winged creatures can't step foot in this world.
While Agartha is the continent of humans where there are three largest kingdoms and five small kingdoms.
Falias belong to one of the largest kingdom and open to all race.
In these eight kingdom, only Karanes Kingdom are pure human. They are racists and believe of pureblooded humans are the real human and that other races are abandoned by Gods.
In the myths, since the start of this world, Ygdrassil tree don't exist and the Zion are still open to all beings while Heimr remains forbidden. And humans can't wield magic.
The birth of the Tree of Life was the start that open the knowledge of magic to human, Heimr citizens changed their views to all other races, while Zion hides from all races to avoid the disrupt of powers, and it all started because of the love of two different race, a taboo for all race.
It is love between the fairy princess, who was the most love by Gods, and Demon King, a creature who was said to be a mistake made by Gods.
Two different people. Born opposite but destined to be together yet due to being different, they are also destined to be separated.
As they try to prove their love during their calamities befall to them, creates miracle. That love can shows whatever race you are, as long as you love and trust each other, nothing is impossible.
With no other choice left, the Gods blessed their love as after they died, the place where their body buried, grew a small tree until it reaches to heaven and their love turned into mana that every beings used and feel.
There are more different versions of the fairy princess and demon king story but all of this lead to this kind of story.
*sigh* I hope I can also find my one and true love, just like the fairy princess and demon king.
