*Sigh*

"To think that I of all people is the one experiencing reincarnation," Selina sighed then looked at her small hands.

"Small hands, feet, and body. I have to wait until I'm seven years old before I can use magic."

"... But this world is amazing. I have to thank God for reincarnating me in this world. I feel like I'm in the world of Harry Potter, even though the reality isn't like that."

-Back to two hours ago-

"Engh…" The little girl that laid on a King size bed opened her eyes slowly. Her long eyelashes that are spread like a fan fluttered lightly.

"Where am I?" She muttered to herself.

Slowly she lifted her body into sitting position. Her eyes scanning the room she occupies right now. The room was bigger than her small apartment and also more luxurious. The walls were painted blue sky and decorated with a few oil paintings.

In this room, there is also a big mirror and one large cupboard. The bed she was sitting on have a canopy that reminded her of a Princess's bed. In front of the bed, there is a white sofa set and a table made of light brown colored wood.

"Hello… Is there anyone here?" The little girl called with a glass-clear voice then suddenly went stiff.

'My voice should not be like this,' she thought while her right-hand touching her throat.

"Something feels wrong…," said the girl sitting on the bed.

Then, the girl lifted both her hands and look at them closely.

"My hands can't be this small…."

After she looks at her hands for a few minutes, she decided to look at herself in the mirror. The girl slowly walked toward the big mirror that was on the left side of the bed until she is now standing in front of it.

Her long light brown hair fell beautifully because of gravitation. Her big eyes were in the color of a lovely dark brown. Her appearance is like a perfect mix of European and Asian people. Only one word to describe her, beautiful. Coupled with her fair skin, it made her look like a porcelain doll. She is wearing a simple white dress that is decorated with a white lace ribbon on her waist.

"It can't be!" The girl inside the mirror following the girl's movements. They both have one of their hands shut their mouth in disbelief.

"I'M TRANSMIGRATING INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S BODY!!!" shouted the girl.

"How could this happen? Am I dead already?" The girl asked herself.

Not even one minute after she asked herself, she remembered. She was a Junior High School student in her previous life. When she was only in her early teens, she was hit by the mighty Lord Truck and died on the spot. Typical of transmigration and reincarnation stories in ******** that she reads.

"Wait, the four years of life I experience here is real. So, that means I reincarnated in this world after I died in my past life. Afterward, the memories of my past life have just emerged now when I am four years old," she concluded.

''Selina Hua,' that is my name now,' thought the little girl.

"Wait, Selina Hua? Isn't that the name of the female side character who is a friend of one of the villainesses in the adult rating Otome game that I played in my previous life?" Selina asked herself.

*Pak*

Selina slapped her right fist into her left palm.

"I was reincarnated not only to another world but to the world in the game that I once played."

Selina remembered here is not the same world as her previous life's world. Here is another world in an Otome game - story-based video games targeted at women. The name of the game is 'Lovely Princess.' Like Otome games in general, this game is a dating simulation game in magic and sword fantasy world where the player plays as a heroine trying to get the heart of one of the capture targets. The difference between this game and other Otome games is there are 'sexy' scenes between the heroine and capture targets. So this game is only intended for those aged eighteen and above.

If you ask why Selina who is only a Junior High Scholl student playing this game? The answer is out of curiosity. Selina was curious about the Otome game that her female friends often talked about in her previous life. As soon as Selina bought and played the game, her face turned bright red. She felt shy while seeing sexy scenes between the heroine and capture targets.

The heroine's name in this game is Rin Kusanagi. She was an eighteen-year-old freshman college who fell into a mysterious portal that appeared right under her feet as she waited for the train to return to her apartment. The world where she fell is a world named after a goddess who is the personification of the Earth, Gaia.

This world called Gaia has four continents. There are Luther Continent in Northwest; Vespira Continent in Northeast; Agnis Continent in Southeast; and Dios Continent in Southwest. In the Luther continent itself, there are five countries in total. Zemia Kingdom in North, Forestaria Allied Federation in West, Long Ya Empire in East, Seraphium Kingdom in South, and lastly Calamus Republic as Central of all. The country where Rin fell was Zemia Kingdom. Zemia Kingdom is the place where this game takes place.

There are five capture targets from Lovely Princess, all of them are princes from five countries in the Luther continent. The exception is the capture target that comes from Calamus Republic because he is not a prince but the son of the President of that country.

Lovely Princess began with Rin who fell in the middle of the lake when the Luther Olympics were held. She was later helped by a prince from Zemia Kingdom. After she regained consciousness, she then met with four princes and one President's son who were capture targets.

Confused and scared, Rin finally told the capture targets how she fell into the portal and about herself who came from a country called Japan on Earth. This is the prologue or 'beginning scene' of Lovely Princess played by Selina.

Descriptions of side characters are not so promising in Lovely Princess. The character 'Selina Hua' for example is only described as the best friend of Alexa Bella Chrono, one of the villainesses that the player will encounter when the player chose the Crown Prince route from Seraphium Kingdom. Selina Hua in the game will also be affected by helping her best friend who is the fiancee of Crown Prince in bullying Rin. The reason is simple, they want Rin to stay away from Alexa's fiance.

Alexa and Selina Hua then met their doom in Crown Prince's hand. Alexa was deprived of her peerage and expelled from the Chrono family. While Selina who is a commoner as Alexa's partner in bullying Rin gets a hundred lashes and her family business is destroyed by the Crown Prince.

Selina shuddered remembering what would happen in the future if she followed what Selina Hua did in the game. She then laid her body on the bed.

'Luckily I remember the memories of my previous life before it was too late,' Selina thought.

Selina and her family now live in Seraphium Kingdom after moving out of the Calamus Republic. The reason they moved out is that of her mother. Diana Hua née Zodiva, the little sister of Leo Zodiva the alchemist. Diana herself is a popular designer and has her own business in the fashion industry named 'Blooming Moon.' The Blooming Moon now is a big brand name. To make it more successful Diana wants to expand her business.

Because the majority of orders came from Seraphium Kingdom -also Diana's father's home country, Diana wants to move her business' headquarter to Seraphium Kingdom from the Calamus Republic. As for the reason why Selina's father, Zhihao Hua agreed on moved out to Seraphium Kingdom there are two reasons. The first is to make his wife's business more successful. The second reason is that now Selina's brother, Landon Hua is studying abroad in Long Ya Empire. Long Ya Empire's Capital City Long Chao is further to Calamus Republic's Capital City Roland than Seraphium Kingdom's Capital City of Seraphina. He wants Landon to go home more frequently because the distance is not that far anymore. This business is likely to be destroyed by Seraphium Kingdom's Crown Prince.

"I will not let my current family suffer because of me," Selina vowed.

Selina made a fist. She has sworn an oath and has no intention of ending up like what happened in Lovely Princess.

"It's too late to persuade mothers not to expand the business to Seraphium Kingdom. So what I can do now is stay away from Alexa and enjoy my current life," Selina decided.

Selina then remembers her new family in this world. Besides her father, mother, and brother, she has another families in Calamus Republic. They are her favorite Uncle Leo Zodiva who lives with his wife, Aunt Mary Zodiva née Latsya and their daughter who is three years older than her named Astrid.

Selina is really sad not to have her cousin Astrid Zodiva playing role-play with her anymore. She always becomes the Prince Charming and Astrid either become a damsel in distress or a Princess that being kidnapped by Demon Lord which is none other than her brother, Landon that role-playing with a boring blank face.

"Thank God for blessing me with life in which my parents are rich, so I don't have to work part-time to pay off tuition. Though I have to avoid the villainess if I want to survive." Selina thanked God who reincarnated her here.

Selina also remembered the fact that in this Gaia world, magic is a normal thing for humans, elves, and all other beings. There are two types of magic in this world, namely Non-Elemental and Elemental. As the name suggests, Non-Elemental magic doesn't have any Element attributes and can be used by everyone.

As for Elemental magic, there are six Basic Elements, they are Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind, but Light and Darkness are rarer and more powerful than the other four Basic Elements. Besides Basic Element, there are also Advance Elements, this is when a person has more than one affinity in elements. For example, someone who has Fire and Wind Elements, if he or she training to combine the spell from Fire and Wind Elements, he or she can use one of Advanced Elements, which is Thunder.

Alongside Thunder Element, there are Fire and Earth Elements which combined and become Magma Element; Water and Wind Elements combined and become Ice element; lastly, Water and Earth Elements combined and become Plant Element. Fire and Water Elements can't combine because they're contradicting each other, same with Wind and Earth Elements.

"Magic is real here and not some intricate and complex trick that people use for entertainment." Her eyes sparkling in the realization of she can use real magic in the future.

"But I have to wait for three years before I can use magic." Her eyes become dim afterward in the realization of she can only use magic when she is seven years old. Selina kneels in defeat.

In this world, humans and elves can only use magic when they reached seven years old and have their Signum Ceremony. Signum Ceremony is test children must take to find out their compatibility with six Basic Elements. Usually, humans in this world only have affinity with one of the Basic elements. It was rare for humans to have dual affinities even more so with triple affinities, same with elf race and other beings.

"Wait a minute. Why don't I use my memories of my past life to become an alchemist here? It is such a good opportunity. I'll become rich and can help lift my family's status here as alchemists are greatly respected here in Gaia, just like Uncle Leo's family."

In this world of Gaia, only people who have abilities are being respected. Alchemists are greatly respected by people and even by aristocrats because they invented magic devices that facilitate human activities. An alchemist with a true ability like Selina's Uncle, Leo Zodiva is rare and highly sought after by countries.

*knock… knock… knock…*

"Selina, are you awake already? Come downstairs so we can eat breakfast together."

Selina heard the voice of Diana from behind the door before the door opened and reveal Diana in a white blouse and white long pants. Diana is a beautiful woman in her twenties with flaxen hair and blue eyes.

"Mom?" Selina called her mother in this world. She feels a little strange but familiar with how she called Diana.

"Yes, Lina darling," Diana replied.

Selina gathering her focus back then asking her mother to go downstairs first.

"Can you go down first? I want to take a shower and change my clothes before eating."

"Okay, Lina darling. Just go downstairs after you're done. I already made your favorite dessert."

"Mango pudding?" Selina asked.

"Mango pudding," confirms Diana.

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs, come quickly," Diana said then leaves Selina alone in her bedroom.

After Diana get out of Selina's bedroom, Selina immediately took a shower and changed her clothes and went downstairs for breakfast with her mother. Her father who works as an adventurer is not at home because he is going as an aid to eradicate the wolf demon beasts that attacked a village near Forbidden Forest which borders directly with Seraphium Kingdom.

"With my knowledge of technology in my previous life, I could definitely become the best alchemist in Gaia."

"But to become the best alchemist that is not bound by the state, I have to have a network that is not controlled by one country only. That being said the easiest one is to become a knight of 10th division as they also work independently in trade-related issues under the patronage of Union Guild. If I become a knight in their division, I will know which markets are suitable for certain magic devices."

Selina who was lying on her bed muttered softly.

"How do I persuade Mom to let me become an alchemist like Uncle?" Selina muttered again.

A week has passed since Selina remembered her previous life. Since then she has been trying to get permission from Diana to study to become an alchemist. However, Diana opposed it because she was still too small.

"I must try on my own first to become an alchemist. The easiest way is to practice directly," Selina said.

Selina got up from her bed and walked toward the kitchen which was on the first floor. She sneaks like a cat who wants to steal a fish. Seeing the kitchen was empty - this was a break time for the servants, Selina entered.

Selina searched for a lighter or ignitorem to experiment. Ignitorem is shaped like a little stick around five inches with the pommel become storage or chamber for mana stone. Ignitorem is one of the magic devices that people in this world used to start a fire every day in their household for cooking or any other activities that needed it. Magic devices, on the other hand, are enchanted gadgets that are made to make human life easier and powered by mana stone.

Mana stone is a stone that can power human-made devices and obtain by mining from a place that has Mana roots, this mana roots appearing by itself so in the past people are going to fight for the place that mana roots exist. Now in a peaceful era, mana stone is predominantly imported from the Forestaria Allied Federation.

The reason for ignitorem being invented is because not everyone in this world has an affinity with Fire Element, so cooking, baking, smithing, and many more activities will be difficult if at all times the fire must be ignited manually by rubbing two stones to produce sparks.

After finding what she was looking for, Selina sneaks back to go to her room. Selina's house is a two-story mansion where Selina's room is on the top floor. Selina turned her head to the right and left to make sure no one was watching her sneak from the kitchen to her room.

Selina immediately entered her room and locked the door. She then sat in front of her desk and opened one of the drawers on the table. From the drawer, Selina pulled out a book, a screwdriver, and an inscriber. Inscriber is a tool for writing and deleting runes. Inscriber is not a magic device because to write or delete runes the user needs to insert their mana into the inscriber.

"Okay. Let's do it!" Selina said excitedly.

Selina tied her long hair into a ponytail. After making sure her hair was neatly tied up, Selina opened the book she had pulled out. This book is a book about runes. Written in the title section is "RUNES IN GAIA." She took this book secretly from his mother's private library.

Selina starts by opening the outer frame of the ignitorem with a screwdriver slowly. After succeeding, she noticed what runes were written on the inner frame of ignitorem. Inscribed on the inner frame of ignitorem are fire rune, also called kaunaz rune and manifestation rune or mamnaz rune.

"Hm ... According to this book, it seems like the conclusions I got about these two runes are true. What is written on ignitorem is kaunaz and mamnaz runes. It seems easy enough. I just need to delete the kaunaz rune and replace it with the thurisaz rune to turn it into a magic device that functions just like a stun gun."

"Let's start the experiment!" Selina said excitedly.

Picking up the inscriber, Selina poured her mana which is still unstable into the inscriber. Slowly she erases the kaunaz rune. After succeeding she then again poured her mana to write thurisaz. Slowly but surely Selina finally succeeded in writing the thurisaz rune on ignitorem.

Selina took a deep breath and reattached the outer frame of ignitorem. She was so focused that she failed to realize her mother already standing behind her with a dark, gloomy aura like cloudy weather before a thunder rain surrounding her. Diana opened Selina's locked door using the spare key she had.

"Lina!" She shouted with a vigorous voice and an arm on each side of her waist.

"Waaah! Mo… Mom…" Selina screamed in surprise then continued the conversation that sure will begin.

"Mom can you not startle me from behind like that?"

"No can do! And not even a chance, young lady. Are you already forget what I said last night? You can't inscribe runes into a gadget without a proper mana control. It can lead to an accident," Diana scolded her only daughter.

"But… This time I succeeded, Mom!" She hesitates for a bit then argues back.

*Sigh*

A sigh came from Diana, after which she took a deep breath to get ready to explain what she had told Selina for several times.

"You can't, Lina darling. You're only four years old, your mana is not stable yet. You even not yet have your Signum Ceremony," Diana said trying to be patient.

"How about you wait until you're going to school and learn how to control your mana and using magic when you're six, all right?" persuaded Diana.

Diana then knelt to match her height with Selina. Her hand gently stroked Selina's light brown hair. Diana smiled slightly at Selina, from her smile Selina could feel a deep affection for herself.

"But it's still too long, Mom. I have to wait two years to go attend school and wait another year to have my Signum ceremony," pouted Selina.

Even though Selina's soul is in her teens, for some reason Selina can't refuse to behave like a four-year-old child. Maybe because she wants to be spoiled by her parents in her current life. In her previous life, she was an orphan, she was left in front of the orphanage when she was but a baby and didn't know much about the world.

"I want to become the best alchemist as soon as possible," Selina sulkily said.

Alchemists are people that made enchanted gadgets or magic devices. Selina as a child admires her Uncle who is an alchemist himself. Ignitorem that she was fiddling just now is one of his creations. You can see there is an emblem of the head of a lion, identified as Leo Zodiva, her Uncle's name. She already admired the way he's working inside his workshop, he's so focused even when Selina trying to call him with a loud voice it seemed like her voice did not reach his ears as he keeps on working.

"There is no instant way to become an alchemist, my darling Lina. First, you must have prior knowledge about magic devices before you aimed to become an alchemist. Second, you have to create a frame that matches the function of the gadget you want to create. Then you have to learn how to control your mana so you can inscribe runes into the gadget's frame, even more so you needed an extreme level of mana control or else it will lead to an explosion. At last placing mana stone into a chamber that connected to the runes, well maybe it's the only thing you can do right now." Diana sighed for who knows how many times then shrugged.

"You don't even know about magic devices. You have to know the proper combination of runes, then what type of metal, wood, glass and other materials that can work together without clashing with runes that you used. Also choosing the right type and size of mana stone that can power the device is a must or else the device will explode or even doesn't work at all," Diana explained to Selina.

Selina keeps her head and sights downward to her shoes. Diana knows Selina's personality and this one is her stubbornness that she inherited from Diana. Both of them refused to give up their opinion of what is best. The fruit does not fall far from the tree can describe this pair of mother and daughter. Seeing that it's not working, Diana can only postpone their argument for later.

"Go down now. Let's have lunch together. Your Dad already waiting on the dining table downstairs and keep whining why his beautiful daughter not there yet" Diana smiled.

"I also made your favorite mango pudding as dessert."

"Pudding? Mango pudding? Yay! I love you, Mom." Selina smiled as she ran towards the stairs before kissing both her mother's cheeks.

"But our argument is not finished yet," shout Selina from downstairs.

Diana can only let out a wry smile for her daughter's behavior. Then she also goes downstairs to eat with her family.
