A LitRPG that’s perfect for people who dream of an MC that’s just as confused as they are.
Ah, centenarians. The one demographic where you’re the likeliest to find mysterious figures with mentor potential and mortality risk aplenty.
Fortunately for the reborn Malwine, she likely got that status revoked the moment her spaceship to the Moon decided to take her on a trip to the next life instead, and now she understands her surroundings even less than the average toddler.
Once a family historian of great renown—in her head—she has been reduced to a confused child in an unfamiliar world, and for all she knows, the curse she’s inherited from her absent mother might be lying in wait to put her back in the grave. At least her extended—if erratic—family will ensure she survives long enough to do something about the ever-growing list of concerns hounding her… probably…
It’s any family historian’s dream, really. She’s overqualified to recover her new ancestors’ Legacies—which definitely exist—, even before accounting for how the system and this whole cultivation thing will undoubtedly aid her…
So long as she takes care of that whole ‘staying alive’ business first, of course. But that’s child’s play!
All she has to do is figure out why that ominous feeling keeps coming back. Is it the -99% attribute debuff? The gatekeeping elves? A bonus third option?
Wait, why is the sea above them?
What do you mean, her step-mother’s parents got eaten by the wav—?
What to expect: a nerfed-to-strong progression curve featuring a heavily modded, perspective-based system, and cultivation that takes the word’s connection to trees a bit too far.
Content warnings: Use of profanity, poorly described violence, mediocre parenting, and a cast afflicted by various degrees of moral myopia.
Reader warnings: MC reborn as a child, and roughly 30% of chapters follow alternate perspectives.
