Lilia is a regular high school student. Her hobby is reading various novels and comics.

After school ended, she usually stopped by a bookstore not far from the direction of returning to her home to check if there is the latest novel.

Coincidently, today is the day when the newest books arrive at the store.

After Lilia managed to buy the novel she wanted, she always read it right away without having to wait to get home first. She was simply impatient when it comes to the newest novel.

This is one of her bad habits that even makes some people somewhat couldn't help but reprimand her like: "Girl, there's a hole in front of you"-- when she ignores their warning they could only shake their head and rebuked her quietly: "Did her mom ever told her not to read on the street?"

Unfortunately, even her mom couldn't rid this kind of bad habit of her, not to mention the stranger.

Meanwhile, Lilia just pretends she didn't hear it since she's confident enough that nothing will happen to her. Either it's stuff, hole, tree, or people, nothing can hinder her from reading.

She was trained!

...

Magic is the most mysterious thing in this world. It's a story that happened long, long ago, in the Old Land about Human Ancestor accidentally eat an unknown fruit which caused his body to explode because it could not hold the amount of energy that consisted of the unknown fruit. His spirit was scattered along with the mysterious energy which is now called Mana...

"Hahaha, this Human Ancestor has had the silliest legend, ever! He must have starved and accidentally found an unknown fruit and didn't even aware that he gonna created such legend" Lilia laughed as she finds it's quite amusing.

Lilia walked while reading on the street casually without realizing what was happening above her and suddenly someone yells at her hysterically which gave her quiet fright to the point she has no time to react...

BANG!

With that, a regular high schooler, Lilia dead without knowing what it caused.

"I told her to get away but she won't listen"

"Such a pitiful girl... someone else committed suicide but instead she died"

"Aih... she didn't even know how she died. Poor, poor..."

"Eh? I didn't die?"

...

In somewhere else, the cold air filled every corner as warmth seemed to have never tried to crawl its way in the cave.

The entire wall of stone was engulfed in chilling blackness.

Stalactites line up on the concave to form like sharp teeth as the sound of dripping from it echoed throughout of cave.

Leaning behind the rocks, there was a young woman whose entire face was being filled with confusion and shock.

The young woman is none other than Lilia who was originally dead.

After she woke up, she unexpectedly found herself alone inside this cave.

She received so much shock upon she woke up. Not only she woke up in someone else body, but she also received memories that entirely doesn't belong to her.

The only conclusion that came up in her mind is she transmigrated!

After reading so many novels, of course, she knew some procedures and conditions for becoming a transmigrator. She might have done something noble in her previous life to be granted a second chance of life like this.

This must be! Lilia convinced herself with all her heart.

However, she unclear. Did she die by saving a dog or something? Tch, whatever...

Lilia slapped both sides of her cheeks with her hands, excited: "No way! this is the legend 'Transmigrate'!" and she is Transmigrator one!

Lilia immediately examine the entire area, she received the predecessor's memory, so, more or less she understood her situation currently.

She was an F-rank Mage, Liliana Corden. As for why she ended up in this situation was entirely due to her stupidity.

Liliana Corden has been stuck in F-rank as a mage for almost a year. To rank up to E-rank mage, she needs to complete fifty F-rank quests and one E-rank quest.

Within a year she had completed forty F-Rank quests, however, for some reason, she became impatient and rashly jumped up to picked an E-Rank quest.

The E-rank quest she chose was to collect five Luminous Egg Flower. Initially, this quest was considered as an only-a-bit-hard quest even for F-rank mage, however, because of her lack of information which leads her into her doom.

The place where the Luminous Egg Flower grows is at Luminous Lion's territory and it guarded by Luminous Lion itself. Every treasure in the forest is always inhabited by a monster as its protector.

The protector of the Luminous Egg Flower itself is Luminous Lion.

A peculiarity of Luminous Lion is always sleeping during the peak of noon, by then, Liliana could only have a chance to collect Luminous Egg Flower at that sort of moment.

When the peak of noon arrived, she quietly sneaked into Luminous Lion's cave.

It's should be an easy task if she did it carefully but she didn't know that the stalk of the Luminous Egg Flower contained deadly poisonous microorganisms, which meant that she had to pluck it from its receptacle.

She was scared the sleeping lion will wake up too soon, so, she grabbed its stalk directly without so much thought, but suddenly got prick and something enter her flesh which made her released a small moan.

In the state of panic, she released the Luminous Egg Flower immediately and run off of the cave in feared the Luminous Lion would wake up.

She found a safe cave that far away from Luminous Lion's territory to treated her wound, unfortunately, she was ignorant of how dire her situation was in.

Although she had several antidotes for various poisons, this time she was completely unprepared because she had never heard of such poison.

Soon, when the poison entered her brain not long after, she was dead. And then another soul replaced the old soul.

"Huh? where the poison? how can I don't feel it!"

Soon, she realized... as expected from transmigrator!

As soon as transmigrator entered the battlefield, all trobles dissolved! This is a common cheat of transmigrators.

Here in the cave, it's a safe place, as long as she doesn't make unnecessary movement maybe it will not attract some monsters nearby. If she wants to complete the quest then she needs to make it tomorrow.

According to Liliana's memories, Lilia remembers that she has a cosmos ring.

She looks at the cosmos ring on her index finger and examines it interestingly, and yet, she doesn't find it uncommon in appearance, it completely looks like a common black ring.

Lilia found various items inside it such as black robes like she currently wears, blanket, medicine, mana stones... bah, she was such a poor girl! there's not even a single magic treasure in it.

She has already carried out several quests in a year yet she didn't can even afford to buy a single magic treasure. Unbelievable!

Although the quests are only F-rank quests, its reward was decent enough, and if it was accumulated for a year she could at least buy one or two magic treasures.

She tries to recall why she was so poor, as she recalled it she faced palm. She spent entire mana stones for apartment rent payment.

Liliana inwardly cursed the original host for being a fool, being aware that she was poor yet she chose an apartment which its rental cost beyond her capabilities.

"Aih..." Sigh, not only she takes over the poor mage's body, but she inherits her predecessor's complicated background which full of trouble.

The next day, Lilia woke up with a body covered by a thick blanket. She looks like a cocoon if it wasn't for her human face.

Although here was safe and sound, she didn't even lack foods, the thing that made her uncomfortable is the cold air that even with a thick blanket couldn't warm her fragile body.

"Maybe I should have started a fire last night, but it'd attracted some monsters nearby"

Not until fifteen minutes later that Lilia finally get out of the blanket.

She starts to make simple water magic to wash her face and mouth before breakfast. Even though she is an F-rank mage, making simple magic like create small volume water is considered an easy task.

"Hehe, I don't even need to fetch a water"

Upon experimenting with magic last night, she concluded; with her current capabilities, she could only afford to create simple magic like a small Fireball, Water Arrow, etc.

Although these were weak magic, it enough for her to protect herself from weak monsters as long as she didn't meet strong monsters such as Luminous Lion, she should be fine.

Lilia took out the bread from her cosmos ring and ate it. It feels dry and tasteless but what can she expect? she is in the forest after all, not in the restaurant.

The atmosphere was so quiet except for the sound of water droplets from stalactites.

The rhythmic of the sound of drops as if racing with the sound of Lilia's chew.

Initially she didn't bother with this kind of atmosphere, but eventually, she finds it a bit strange. Why there are absolutely no creatures in this cave, even insects seem to be disinclined to enter this cave.

Is there anything in this cave that makes creatures reluctant to enter? This is a safe place but what makes it safe?

"Hum, This is worth investigating" She nodded as she enters investigator mode.

Lilia is fearless but that doesn't mean she has to be careless. Although she was curious to find out the truth, however, if she fell the slightest danger, she will not hesitate to forget about this matter even if there's treasure here.

After all, life is more valuable than treasure.

She entered the depths of the cave and found this cave was originally wide and deep. Ahead was the sound of water dripping into the water.

Lilia creates a small Fireball to light the way, even so, there's no way she can tell how deep it was.

Not until almost 1km away from her original spot, she discovers a padlocked iron grate, it looked old and rusty. She also saw the restriction rune on it.

Lilia has a bit of accomplishment at Rune Magic, so, at first glance, she can recognize it. She want to see it closer but when she step up she heard a crispy voice from beneath her feet.

She looked down and paused a second before she reacts abruptly, "Bone!"

She tries to calm down a bit but once again she reacts even more fierce than before, "Corpse!"

The bone she stepped on turned out to be the hand part of a corpse that was leaning against the outside of the grate.

It seemed that the corpse had been there for very a long time that parts of it had separated from the initial place. The robe that it used also worn out and only left one piece.

From the look of it, this grate is a prison and this corpse is originally a guard of this prison.

"Since the prison guard already died, doesn't that mean the prisoner also died of old age?"

Unfortunately, inside of the prison was too dark and her vision alone can't penetrate the darkness in it. However, she didn't sense any danger from it, she was confident in her six sense.

Since she feels nothing, it seems like her guess was right after all even the prison guard also already became a pile of bones.

Lilia took a look closer over the bars of the prison.

"Look, even the Rune Magic become saggy like this"

Although she doesn't know what kind of Rune Magic is this, the thing she knew this Rune Magic is very powerful. The rune's letters used are complicated, there are even some parts of letters that Lilia doesn't recognize.

"This is an Ancient Rune!"

According to the previous host's memory, in this mainland, there are some people use rune as their main magic.

In her guild also there's a person who uses rune as his main magic, he is an A-Rank mage.

He could depend on his Rune Magic to climbed up became A-rank mage from F-rank mage. He is very powerful, very few people could defeat him in a match because the moment he entered the battlefield he could restrict his opponent according to his condition which made his opponent quite helpless.

Lilia also has an understanding of Tune Magic, thanks to her quests which mostly related to Rune Magic.

This Ancient Rune can help her to improves her rune knowledge. The good thing is she knows the basic rune, so, it might be easier to learn this Ancient Rune.

However, looks like she underestimated an Ancient Rune very much, not only it hard to comprehend but also mostly letters are broken and hardly recognized.

Even so, that doesn't make her give up just like that if it easy to learn it's wasn't being Ancient Rune one.

Time passed by very quickly, Lilia attempt to rewrite the rune several times, the result not entirely futile as she made some progress on it.

Pity, there are some letters are broken otherwise she will memorize it completely.

BOOM

The restriction rune finally broke as Lilia manages to rewrite it off.

"Fufu..." The smug expression can be seen all over her face, obviously, she was quite proud of her comprehensiveness. She was a top student, after all, memorizing and solving are her specialty.

Suddenly she jolts as she remembers something important, "Crap, I almost forget about the quest!"

Lilia stood up abruptly and brush the dust off of her robe briefly before she ran off with the speed of lightning.

The peak of noon almost arrives, she has no time to check out the treasure inside the prison after she writes off the restriction rune.

She can check it after she completes the quest as she can't waste any longer over something uncertain.

However, little did she know, the prison unexpectedly opens itself slowly and who knows what comes out of it.

Be it blessing or disaster, it unknown for Lilia...

Inside the Young Maple Forest, three men were walking together, they appeared sticking to each other while in the middle of them there's a curly hair young girl.

While the appearance of the three men looks normal as they equipped with some ordinary pieces of equipment on their body, the young women appear more extravaganze than the three of them.

Although she can't be considered beautiful, she has fair skin and small oval face adding with her starry big eyes, she looks more bright and charming compared to the definition of an ordinary girl.

She was dressed in a bright green dress with fine soft armor on her chest that already adjusted according to her size. Her right-hand holds a magic wand which is a Magic Treasure.

One of the guys named Zack opens his mouth, "Silica, why are you choose this quest? although this quest is the easiest one among the E-Rank quests but this quest also the hardest one. If we have one slight mistake then our lives are in stake"

Zaky smirked, "What are you afraid of? the fact that Luminous Lion asleep at the peak of noon has already become common knowledge, when the time comes we can sneakily enter its den. Isn't it's easy? it's like grabbing food from the kitchen"

Zeke astonished" "There's a kitchen here?"

Zaky dumbstruck: "Of course, there isn't! are you kidding me?"

Zeke wronged, "But you just said it..."

Zaky: "..."

Silica gives a small chuckled and said, "Don't worry brother Zack, sleeping at the peak of noon is Luminous Lion's nature. As long as no one disturbs its sleep, it won't wake up. Besides, I have Luck Blessing from Fairy Ziva, the luck is on my side"

Although it sounds like reassuring words from her to Z Brothers, actually her words also have a different meaning, it's means 'Isn't you three brothers recruit me into your team because of my Blessing of Luck?'.

The three of them have been stuck at E-Rank for a long time and lately, whenever they carried out quests they always got unlucky. As a result, they almost failed at every quest that they're picked which made them quite disheartened.

This time they heard someone got Luck Blessing from a Fairy from their guild, therefore they anxiously invite her into their team even though she is just an F-Rank Mage hopefully her luck can influence their team's luck.

Coincidently, Silica in need pick one E-Rank quest to rank up her rank to E-Rank Mage and she doesn't have the confidence to run it alone.

In short, the two parties only use each other.

Zaky, "That's right First Brother, Silica has Luck Blessing! you worry too much, right Zeke?"

Zeke, "That right First Brother, I'm in blessed!"

Zaky, "..."

Zack snorted toward them, it's good if the blessing works this time, otherwise, he will not hesitate to kick her out of their team. He doesn't like that lass's arrogant attitude as if she was the most important role in their team, she's lucky to meet a Fairy, she is just nothing without Luck blessing.

As they talk throughout the way, they finally arrive at Luminous Lion's territory.

...

Meanwhile, another figure also arrives at Luminous Lion's territory, she was none other than Lilia. She's still unaware that other people already ahead of her.

When noon almost reaches its peak, it's time for Lilia to take action.

This time she's completely prepared, unlike the previous host who lacks information which led her into her doom. As long as she didn't follow the previous host's footsteps, she will be fine and complete the quest.

Moreover, she was quite excited to see how the monster in this world looked like. Also, this is her first quest as 'Lilia' which makes her need to more careful and cautious. After all, she doesn't want her first quest will end up with a failure.

As time passed, noon already reaches its peak. Lilia enters Luminous Lion's territory and immediately head for Luminous Lion's cave.

Yet, she's a little unexpected there's a group ahead of her and they have arrived in front of the cave.

"Who are they?" Lilia frowned, "Are they taking the same quest as mine?"

If so, this is quite troublesome. She knew there are only five Luminous Egg Flowers inside Luminous Lion's cave. If they're also after Luminous Egg Flowers, doesn't that mean there's nothing left if they take it all?

Meanwhile, if she wants to wait for Luminous Egg Flowers to grow again, she needs to wait half a year later. However, she did not want to wait any longer to go up in rank as things will be inconvenient for her identity if she delays any longer.

As for taking another E-Rank quest, it's not possible for her current Lilia. Firstly, mostly of E-Rank quests are about hunting monsters. Secondly, she was still not ready to face the monster. As such she had no experience fighting monsters, so that would make her die faster if she wasn't a monster's opponent.

Lastly, she doesn't even have experience in fighting. Even though she practiced taekwondo in her previous life, in fact, she had never once fought against someone because her intention to practice taekwondo was merely to protect herself from the perverted men out there.

She was lucky to find this quest when she choosing the quest.

However, she's a bit confused. Isn't a quest can only be taken by one party in a guild?

That means they are not from her guild.

Lilia quite annoyed, the costumer unexpectedly posted the same quest in another guild. This's against the rule. She will definitely report it to the guild after she completed this quest.

But how should she complete this quest if that group has the same goal as her?

This can not be tolerated, she must think of a way to take Luminous Egg Flowers without being discovered by them. However, this's a very difficult task as they already ahead of her.

Soon, the Z Brothers along with Silica enter Luminous Lion's cave. They entered the cave carefully and tried as much as possible not to make a sound.

The terrain cave is less complicated and its space is wider than they thought. To locate Luminous Lion's den is not that difficult as long as they spot the brightest and warmest place that's where Luminous Lion sleeps.

"Look, isn't it the den?" Silica excitedly pointed out her index finger toward the brightest place.

"Pssst... are you looking for dying? what if that monster wakes up because of your voice, do you want to take responsibility?" Zack quietly scolds her.

Although she has Luck Blessing to turn disaster into a blessing that doesn't mean she has to seek disaster in the initiative.

Silica feeling wronged after being scolded, she just a bit excited and couldn't help to express it. Does he need to be so fierce?

"Alright, alright First Brother stop being so fierce. Silica only felt excited besides, we still quite far from the den, so it won't hear us"

"Brother Zaky is the best!" Silica affectionately grabbed Zaky's arm which made him chuckled, "I have Luck Blessing, everything will be smooth! I already promised as long as we complete this quest, I will remain in your team"

Zaky happy as he rubs her head, "I believe you, Silica"

Zack snorted at them. It hasn't been that long yet they are already that close. His Second Brother even learned how to disagree with him. It's good that his Third Brothers are a fool so, he won't end up like his hopeless Second Brother.

They headed toward the den, the closer they are to the den, the warmer they feel. As expected from Luminous Egg Flower, it can even warm their hearts and minds.

Meanwhile, behind a rock not far from the group, Lilia overheard their conversation and astonished, "Someone actually got Luck Blessing from a Fairy!"

But soon her shock turns into sneered, "So what if they have Luck Blessing? I have Luck of Transmigrator hehe"

...
