Chief Researcher, But Transmigrated Back as a Freshman

Edith, who had no magic talent, struggled for over a decade, finally reaching the position of Chief Researcher. Then she died, on the very night she was promoted to Chief.

Edith: "...It's over, all that effort for nothing."

Her savings were gone, her luxurious mansion gone. Opening her eyes again, she was reborn into the body of an orphan in a slum in a border town, transforming from Edith Gali into Edith Griffin.

Bad news: All the wealth, status, and research results she had painstakingly fought for half her life were gone. Her new body was small and weak, and she had an equally dying younger sister.

Good news: This orphan she transmigrated into possessed an incredibly high magic talent she had never seen before.

Edith looked at the dilapidated home and empty food reserves, calming down, and calculating what she currently possessed.

—From a knowledge perspective, her mind was full of magic theory. Although she had never practiced it due to her previous life's lack of magic, it would definitely help her avoid many detours.

—From a combat perspective, her small body led to insufficient strength, but the sword skills she had practiced before were still there; she could recover after training for a while once she was well-fed.

—From a talent perspective, her magic reserves were extremely abundant, and using them was incredibly smooth and fluid. If combined with her overflowing theoretical knowledge—

There was still hope for a new life!

Edith turned her head to look at her sister, whose life hung in the balance, and decided to start by casting a healing spell.

.

On the street, the Archmage, who was frantic because the Marquis's young master couldn't find a suitable study companion, saw a green light rise from the slum, abundant magic pouring down as if to tear the heavens and earth apart.

Archmage: "...Damn it."

This was just a healing spell?!

Edith became a freshman at Beauxnes Academy.

Known: The thing that caused her death in her previous life must have come from the nobility, and Beauxnes Academy is where the most nobles gather.

Therefore: To uncover the truth, she must attract attention within the school and get close to the upper echelons. To achieve her goal, she made the following efforts:

Deliberately fell asleep in potion class, was punished by the teacher to demonstrate problem-solving on stage, then compounded the clearest potion with her eyes closed;

Deliberately let others break her sword, then picked up a random wooden stick and cut the bully out of the competition area;

Announced her commoner identity to the world, then stepped on the geniuses cultivated by the power of great families in magic combat competitions, pressing all the nobles' faces to the ground.

Her efforts were highly effective, and more and more gazes fell upon her, becoming increasingly fervent.

...It just seemed to be somewhat different from the animosity she had imagined!

...

One day before a competition, Edith sneaked into the private vault she had built in her previous life, picking out a few materials to prepare potions. Less than five minutes after she left, another figure appeared in the warehouse, looking at the disturbed ground, falling into a long silence.

"Teacher?"

"Have you returned?"

Pre-order: "Main Story Untouched, but All Side Quests Cleared"

As an RPG enthusiast with clumsy hands, Eula is keen on completing all side quests first, leveling up to max, getting all equipment, and then sweeping through the main story.

Unexpectedly, she woke up to find herself transmigrated into the adventure RPG "Guide to Dragon Slaying in Another World," which she had recently played. She stood at the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild, where the aggressive guard demanded she bring wine.

[Trigger Quest "First Test at the Entrance"! Player must go to the tavern according to the map, converse with the tavern owner, purchase a bottle of Red Flame Wine, and deliver it to the guard!]

[Quest Requirement: Red Flame Wine (0/1)]

[Quest Reward: Basic Staff x1, Gold Coins x100, Guard Uncle's Affection +1]

Eula: "..."

Bad news: She transmigrated into a game she had played, at the very beginning of the novice quest, the starting point of everything.

Good news: The side quests she had cleared were not reset.

Eula opened her inventory, looked at her seven-digit gold coin count and fully stocked material inventory, pulled out a fully enchanted, ornament-covered legendary staff, and pressed it against the chest of the guard, who hadn't reacted yet. A crimson glow gathered at the staff's tip, carrying a scorching heat capable of burning through a person. The guard's horrified expression was reflected in the firelight.

"Noel Walker!"

The girl spread her legs, raised her head, and shouted with full force towards the top of the Guild building:

"When are you going to pay me back the money you owe me!!!"

...

In the office, the president of the Adventurers' Guild, who was listening to his subordinate's report with a cold expression, suddenly trembled, falling from his chair to the floor in an instant. Amidst his subordinate's terrified gaze, he struggled to crawl to the window.

Eula is back!!!!
