Shiena Kingdom
Shiena Kingdom is a nation situated at the far west of the continent of Olina, bordered by the Yiuiong Dynasty to the south, the ocean to the west, and the Emavia Empire to the east and north. The kingdom is under the rule of King Aric Von Smallstar and the nation is filled with vast mineral resources, which have piqued the interest of the Emavia Empire.
The military system in Shiena Kingdom mandates that men aged 20 to 25 serve a compulsory five-year term. Women aged 20 to 21 serve for a year and a half. In times of war, men aged 20 to 40 are required to join the military, while women may volunteer unless already enlisted.
The kingdom's rugged mountainous terrain makes it challenging for large armies to traverse, significantly delaying the Empire's invasion efforts several times.
Shiena's military is structured into nine Corps, each averaging around 40,000 troops. The 1st and 2nd Corps are slightly larger, with approximately 50,000 soldiers each. The 3rd Corps has mage presence, boasting over 1,000 mages.
Currently, the kingdom is engaged in a fierce battle against the Empire. The 5th Corps has been completely annihilated, while the 4th, 6th, and 7th Corps are on the brink of collapse.
Emavia Empire
The Emavia Empire is a vast nation with ambitions to dominate the entire continent of Olina. Having already conquered half of the continent, it seeks further influence and control.
The empire’s military strength is vast, organized into twelve Legions, each comprising around 250,000 troops. Each Legion is subdivided into ten divisions, with approximately 25,000 soldiers per division.
Currently, the Emavia Empire is engaged in conflicts with four nations: the Shiena Kingdom, Yiuiong Dynasty, Republic of Prancó, and the Free City of Merchants. The First through Eighth Legion is involved in battles against the Yiuiong Dynasty, Republic of Prancó, and the Free City of Merchants, while the Eleventh and Twelfth Legions are invading of the Shiena Kingdom. The Ninth and Tenth Legions are stationed to defend the empire's core territories, alongside the Knight Order.
The Knight Order is an elite force within the empire, consisting of twenty Brigades. Each Brigade is highly skilled and capable of defeating entire armies on their own.
Yiuiong Dynasty
The Yiuiong Dynasty is a large and ancient kingdom known for its rich culture and strong traditions. It is located south of the Shiena Kingdom and is characterized by its grand palaces and complex social hierarchy. The people of Yiuiong value honor and tradition, and their military is known for its disciplined and skilled warriors. They have been engaged in a fierce struggle with the Emavia Empire to protect their lands and heritage.
Republic of Prancó
The Republic of Prancó is a democratic nation where leaders are elected by the people. Located to the east of the Free City of Merchants, it is known for its advanced technology and thriving trade. The Republic has a well-trained military and a strong economy, which makes it a key player in the continent’s politics and conflicts. They are currently working to defend their interests against the expanding Emavia Empire.
Free City of Merchants
The Free City of Merchants is a wealthy and independent city-state renowned for its bustling markets and trade networks. Positioned between the Yiuiong Dynasty and the Republic of Prancó, it serves as a major hub for commerce and finance. The city is known for its diverse population and its ability to maintain neutrality in conflicts. However, it is now facing pressure from the Emavia Empire's aggressive expansion, which threatens its prosperity and independence.
Alliances: Yiuiong Dynasty and Republic of Prancó (Free City of Merchants have yet to join)

Continents:
There are total of 10 continents in the world where Aria is currently in, and four of continents is in a close distance with each other. Olina at North, Evrallon at East, Falonde at West, and Enerel at South. These continents and nations in them have a close tie with each other.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Olina:
In the continents of Olina, there is no monsters or demihuman. It is vastly populated by humans as humans always go war with each other and other species found it hard to survive with constant wars, making them move out to different continents. Human tend to focus on developing technology fused with magic, so there are few mages in between.
Evrallon
Evrallon is a continent filled with demihumans; elf, beastkin, dwarf, fair, spirit and so much more. Evrallon has many nations that represent each species and they enjoy a peaceful life. The species living there enjoy using magic, and the continent is filled with mages but the technology is lacking compared to other continents. There are no wars, but there are few conflicts between nations.
Falonde
Falonde is a continent that has both human and demihumans living in harmony. Because they are various people, there are various uses of various technology and magic. Even though there are some big conflicts between nations, mostly nations built by human and demihuman, there are no wars.
Enerel
Enerel is the smallest continent of the four, and it is where many monsters thrive. It is also where Demon Lords usually appear so many heroes tend to be summoned by the Enerel's nation. It has both high technology and magic thanks to constant invasion of the monsters.

Characters:
Aria
Aria, as well as the main character of the story, is a eight year old girl who joined the military after a life of slavery. Originally a boy on Earth, she was reincarnated as a girl in this new world. In her previous life, both of her parents were military officer with the rank of First Lieutenant, but after a mission, they never came back leaving Aria all alone. Through her dedication and achievements, she has risen to the rank of Major and has been awarded the prestigious Crown of Emerald medal for her outstanding accomplishments.
Deryk
Deryk is a military officer in the 9th Corps with a laid-back demeanor. While he maintains a serious and disciplined approach in battle, he becomes informal and friendly with his allies, often engaging in casual conversations and dropping formalities when off duty.
Marshal Vespera Sinhope
Vespera is the supreme commander of the entire military in Shiena Kingdom as well as the commander of the 1st Corp. She is an old woman at age, but she is still talented enough to serve the command.
General Cedric Airviss
Cedric is the commander of the 9th Corps, with the nickname of Silver Tip due to how well he wielded his spear. He seemed kind, but other commanders of the Corps call him. "A devil who wear human skin." (This will be later explained in the story!)
Brigadier General Devon
Devon is a strict officer who likes to follow rules of the military and always scolds soldiers and officers alike for breaking rules. Because of this, he is often called a "Military Rulebook" or "Rule Lover". He is kind and caring for the soldiers, but he doesn't show it to the public, instead, he does it in secret.
Lieutenant Colonel Cameron
Although it wasn't mention at the book (But I plan to mention this in my rewrite for Chapter 28), Cameron was promoted to Colonel for his deeds at the battle in Plain of Imoras. He is a man with careful mind, taking great mind not to take any gambles and instead, rely solely on strategies. (Making General Cedric as a bait was one of his strategy).
Brigadier General Lily
Commander of the 1st Brigade, she is a young female officer who had achieved her rank solely through her efforts and talents. She is kind to her soldiers and play a great effort to save as many soldiers as possible during battles. However, she have a spilt personality and her other personality is a battle-loving manic. (This would be later explained in the story)
First Lieutenant Mira
Aide of Brigadier General Lily, she is a friend of Lily as they spend times together at military school. Even though she lacks talent, she admires Lily and never get jealous of her. When Aria kept rapidly promoted through ranks, Mira started to hate Aria as Mira thought Aria was using some kind of cheating to get her ranks up.

Colonel Aylsia
