**Chapter 1: The Last Morning of Yuri Lee**
"Mom, I'm going! I'm already late for school. I'll eat breakfast later!"
Yuri Lee darted out of the house, backpack swinging wildly.
"Wait, Yuri! You're forgetting your winter coat!" her mother called out.
"Give it to me fast! The bus is already late!" Yuri shouted back, grabbing the coat.
On her way, she spotted an old woman hesitating at a crosswalk.
"Grandma, let me help you cross."
But then—screeching tires. A truck. Too fast.
Yuri pushed the old woman away.
And everything went black.

**A Cold Darkness**
"Why is it so dark...?"
Yuri's voice echoed into nothing. "Can someone turn on the classroom light?"
But a voice, calm and heavy, replied, "My little child, this is not your classroom. This is the afterlife."
"No... no, I died?" Yuri trembled. "But I didn't finish reading my webnovel! The orb who falls in love with the human queen—please, just let me read it and then kill me!"
A soft chuckle echoed.
"No, child. You now have a new fate. Reincarnation."
"You're not real! You're not God! You kidnapped me! Take me home, or call 911! Where's that old hag who played grandma?!"
"Silence," the voice roared. "Go. Live a beautiful new life. My child… I love you."

**A Kingdom in Turmoil**
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Queen has given birth… to a girl."
The King scowled. "Why does the god of this land deny me a prince again?!"
"What shall we do?" asked Minister Walbert. "Shall we kill the queen like the others and abandon the child in the forest?"
"Prepare a new bride. I'm going to rest."
"Yes, Your Majesty."

**Whispers in the Dark**
"You, my beautiful princess… you must die. But what can a lowly maid do?"
As blood dripped in silence, the maid whispered, "God, forgive my sins. Give this girl a merciful death."
"Minister Walbert," a soldier reported, "The Seventh Queen is dead. What of our reward?"
Walbert laughed. "Now, my sister shall be the Eighth Queen. And I… I will conquer the world through this throne. Watch me rise, Your Majesty."

**A New Beginning in the Monster Village**
"Hey, Gobna, look. A human child."
"She's… beautiful. Like a princess."
"It's our first time seeing a human, right?"
"Yes, but we can't touch her. The new treaty between the Demon Lord and the humans forbids it."
"But we're monsters!"
"And the Monster King obeys the Demon King."
"What should we do?"
"…Take her to the village."

**A Seed of Vengeance**
Yuri opened her eyes, surrounded by monsters. Her heart burned.
"You—self-proclaimed god or whatever you are… You made my life even more painful. I'll never forget this."
She clenched her tiny fists.
"One day… I will kill you with my own hands."
In the land of gods and monsters, a new fate began to bloom
