With his father dead and his brother inheriting the earldom, Braydon sets out to inherit the family’s neglected title, Viscount of Cliforge, the only land of the Kingdom on the other side of the Brimstone Mountains. ... more>>

His new lands are on the border that is held peaceful by an uneasy truce and the same lands that claimed his father’s life on the battlefield.

With no reputation in noble society and no military might to speak of he will be a long way from challenging his brother whose land is some of the most prosperous in the empire, and has the backing of their younger brother, who has the smarts to raise their position even further.

Will he become another casualty to the lands that have already claimed his father, or become something more as he climbs his way to prominence?

At least he can be sure that his brother would never see him rise peacefully, and the neighbouring Grand Duke desires the last territory of the kingdom on the eastern side of the mountains. His position is anything but stable, he will do anything to change that and build his realm.

28/4/2022: Title changed to better reflect the story as I've gotten comments that the previous title didn't seem to fit and misled people about the story.... more>>

------------------------------------

Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn’t resist her body’s drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn’t a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn’t be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked.

An unknown room, an unknown man with his icy expression, and moreover, the man addressed her as “Arlea”, and not “Ann”.
And then she finally realized. She somehow ended up in the body of “Arlea”—a villainess in the fantasy/romance otome game she had played in the past, when she still had free time to relax. To make things worse, she remembered that in the next one year, she—Arlea—was fated to die.

‘In such a situation, what should I do?’
‘Let’s think seriously of a way to overturn the situation?’
‘But hold on, what if I can’t change the scenario? Why bother?’

Having lived her days in the modern life as a serious and restrained woman who became a corporate slave to her death, Ann finally decided... to spend her additional 365 days to live well, and to cross out some of her bucket list that she could still do!

'If I can avoid my death, it's good. If not, at least I've enjoyed my additional time here in this fantasy world where magic and monsters exist, where I don't need to slave away my life ridiculously for the corporate!'

Little did she know that her decision would cause everyone who knew Arlea to be very surprised and alarmed with her change.
What happened to the villainous, hateful woman called Arlea? Why did she become like this? What is she scheming now??
Let's see how long she can keep up her pretense!

Can she avoid her death flag, or will she be able to survive more than the designed 365 days? <<less

The first chapters first give detail to the world and then give life to the characters after that the story begins as the synopsis says.

* Chapter are 2500 to 4000 words each. So don't be put off by the number of chapters.

I upload once every 2 or 3 days. I sometimes upload daily or release doubles every second day.

The story is a dual mc story about a boy and a girl.

In this world, people wield superpowers restricted to the elements to fight the monsters that invade.

Depending on your element you join that clan. The different elemental clans compete with each other for the title of the strongest clan.

Watch the mc's take the lightning clan from dead last to number one.
