Prologue
"How did this happen..?"
I pinched my cheeks after staring at my reflection in front of the mirror.
A young girl with long and dark golden hair and a pair of grey eyes stares back at me.
With skin as white and smooth as silk, and rosy colored cheeks, she looks mature for a twelve-year old kid.
Although I couldn't believe it, it seems I was reborn.
'Is this possible..?'
Although there is a sense of incompatibility with this unnatural appearance from my home country, this girl in the mirror is from the game that I played before I died.
My feet became wobbly when I try to recall one by one of my memories from my past life.
'Joan. This girl's name is Joan.'
A romance-fantasy girl game called "Spring Starry Night." Joan was a rejected character design for the heroine profile.
I worked part-time for a company as a game tester. Even though I was one of the few who approved to scrape off Joan's character because her arrogant-like appearance was too much for the heroine concept, this could be bad for me now that I reincarnated as Joan.
'Being revived inside an otome game with a rejected character design..?'
This is absurd.
With this setting, how could I hold myself back?
'Since I shouldn't exist in this world, I'm not bound to the story at all.'
A suppressed laugh broke free from my lips.
'Not to mention, I'm free to do whatever I want unlike from the other webnovels with a similar storyline about avoiding death flags or yandere reverse harem male leads..'
I shuddered from the mere thought.
'Phew. It's a relief that it wouldn't turn into that.'
I momentarily relaxed until a series of past memories rushed into my head.
—Wait..
A burning sensation spread to my side until an earth-shattering force hit my head.
Ugh.
I stagger back and loss my balance. I feel a sharp pain in my head while I gag on a salty taste in my palate.
'Someone stabbed me and then pushed me off the cliff to drown me to death.'
I grit my teeth and shut my eyes to stifle the grunts and tears threatening to escape.
It was dark so I couldn't see who it was. The only thing that I can remember was the fall and the ache.
'Breathe. Relax. You're no longer there anymore. You're Joan now...'
I repeatedly hushed to myself while waiting for the phantom pain to subside.
When I calm down, I carefully sit back while regaining my composure.
'Since someone tried to kill me, I might not be a good person from my past life.'
Now, this is convenient.
Joan was a character made to be close to a perfect heroine. A resilient girl with a strong sense of justice.
She was born from a noble and loving family in the land of Arctic, the coldest and northernmost part of the country Allua.
'While it was interesting to figure out the game settings, there are more important things I have to know first.'
Me being a witch or not.
The game revolves around the heroine with four yandere potential male partners. It was about the heroine getting her family honour's back after being wrongly accused of witchcraft.
Witches and warlocks were said to have made a forbidden pact with demons many years ago. To make sure that they wouldn't forget it, demons put a Wicca mark on their body as a symbol of life repeating oath.
'Hmm.. that sounds a bit inconsistent. It's not that I'm hoping for it but there's also a possibility that being Joan as my second life is just a child's delusion.'
If it's true, this could be a sign that my head is messing with me right now.
"I'm might be crazy.."
To make sure I wasn't going insane or prove that this life is really inside the game, I have to try to remember more about the event points involving the main characters.
'I'll turn thirteen two months from now. It will be my coming-of-age ceremony.'
The ceremony acts as a purifier before a noble became an adult by drinking the blessed water from the underground maiden fountain.
'If I reacted too strongly when I drank it, it means I'm a witch bound to a demon by life.'
When it did, a Wicca mark may appear anywhere on my body.
"It might be tough to hide it if it'll happen."
*yawned*
'All of this thinking makes me tired. I guess I should just wait for my past memories to come back before I make a move.'
I look out to the window and notice that the sun starts to peak.
'I got at least a couple of hours left to catch up some sleep.'
I climb up and nestled to my bed comfortably until I fell into the warming embrace of slumber.
