As the night deepened and the number of enchanted candles floating across the hall start increasing in number to illuminate, the tension can be felt in the ballroom. A hush began to ripple across the crowd, first in whispers, then in solemn quiet.
The initiation was close and I can see that everyone starts getting more nervous, especially Liam and Mateo, they are the center of attention of everybody, every noble has their eyes on them, no one is looking my way, except for Master Rod, he gives me a small smile as encouragement.
The candles dimmed on their own, even when they give light with magic and not with a simple fire, I can feel how the air is growing heavier, thick with ancient magic.
I’m not expecting anything from this, after all I have already unlocked my status window.
I can see how Liam and Mateo stood tall in the center of the hall, chins high, chests puffed. Even their finest silks couldn’t hide the tremor of nerves that they must be feeling, I reminded how they are only ten years old and don’t know what to expect from this, in a moment they could be able to check the amount of progress they manage to do in the past years and what skills they were able to unlocked.
A few nobles whisper among themselves and start giving a few glances in my direction, apparently someone started to spread the rumor about how I was also part of the family and I’m turning ten years old too, but being in the presence of the Viscount, no one has the courage to raise a question about why I’m not with them at the center.
I start to feel the same way as in my previous life, a pressure against my chest, like something ancient calling my voice in a voice no one else could hear. The candles close to her flickered as if afraid of something.
Ancient runes appear in the floor, exactly where I’m standing, glowing with blue light, the same ones that are at the feet of Liam and Mateo.
I can hear a voice in an ancient language resonate across the space, a moment of universal clarity.
A force that feels like a mother’s embrace lift me up in the air, I can see the same happening with Liam and Mateo.
“What is happening?”
“Why is that child also in the middle of her awakening?”
“She’s part of the family right?”
“Does anybody know what is happening?”
“The family don’t want her close to the sons of the Viscount, right? Maybe something is wrong with her.”
The murmurs increase in the hall when they see how I’m also in my awakening.
Then the status window appears before me without me calling for it.

I finally have my answer about how was this easy to learn new skills in this new life, together with my magic attributes, before I can be happy with the new information a new notification appear before me.
[Error: The gods are forbidden to give their blessings.]
[Solution: Forget memories, eliminate skills, eliminate levels and destroy mana core to obtain a clean slate without a blessing like a normal child.]
[Do you accept?]
What is the meaning of this, if I accept it’s the same as killing myself, without any of my skills, mana core, and levels, it would be impossible for me to survive in the danger zone.
If any of that wasn’t bad enough it’s asking me to forget my memories, without them I will no longer be me.
‘NO!’
[Error: Entity doesn’t accept proposal.]

[Do you accept?]
‘No’
‘I don’t want to have a curse, just leave me alone’
[Error]
[Do you accept?]
‘No’
[Error]
[Do you accept?]
This isn’t fair, I have no idea what else can I do, and I have no one to ask for help.
‘Goddess Hecate please help me.’
[No one can help you]
[Do you accept?]
I want to cry, all my life has been full of hardships and apparently the system is against me.
‘Take that blessing and leave alone, please, I’m begging you.’
[Error]
[Do you accept?]
‘Yes’
I ended up accepting without other option, the feeling of powerlessness it’s invading me.
‘Leonore doesn’t want you to give up.’
I need to remind myself about Leonore and her teachings, if life is hard then I need to make myself harder, even if the gods are against me, I need to surpass them.

After everything happen in a few seconds I’m once again touching the floor, the runes that were glowing on the floor are already gone. I look in the direction where Liam and Mateo are located and can see the guests cheering for them.
Unknown to me a lot of things were taking place across the continent.
