My name is Gwendolyn Vespertine but my friends call me Gwen, I am the granddaughter of the saviour of humanity. This led to me being enrolled in the Academy of the Church of light. Now, you may think this is a good thing, but what it means is that what constitutes as a history lesson is a 30 minute lecture and 20 minute analysis on the adventures of the founder of the academy and saviour of the human race, Zack Vespertine, my grandpa.

Now, if you’re the kind of person to be reading this kind of book for entertainment then you probably don’t see what I mean.

This is because the original events have been very obviously changed and twisted so much that almost every paragraph is filled with religious propaganda praising the Church of Light and justifying some of the inhumane things it does these days.

Don’t get me wrong, I idolise my grandpa and the stories that he tells me from 1st hand experience. That is how I know what the professor is saying is complete and utter nonsense-.

“GWENDOLYN VESPERTINE ARE YOU LISTENING?” The Professor shouts next to me. Looks like I got distracted.

“Yes Professor Gryphon.” I answer, not wanting to be excluded from what would be happening after this lecture.

“Then what did I just say?”

“You were talking about how the god of light told him personally the weakness of the dragon of wrath, thus saving the city of Corton through his grace.” I guess by what was written on the board.

“And what was its weakness?” He says, calling my bluff.

“The reverse scale under its chin.” I had memorised every one of my grandfather’s stories by heart, so recalling the weakness of one of his greatest foes was pretty easy.

“Tsk.” I watch him walk back to the front of the class, irritated.

So the rest of the lesson goes by at the speed of a snail, then the bell rings, indicating that the class has ended.

I immediately grab my bag and dash out of the classroom and towards the temple for my awakening ceremony.

That’s right, i’m going to receive the system, a tool created by the gods for the benefit of humanity, my trait, a power unique to a family or sometimes a single individual, and my magical affinities.

With these three things and tips from the saviour of humanity himself, I will grow up to be unstoppable!

That's what I thought until I felt a pang of hunger and quickly moved to the elemental appraisal room while looking at my status.

Name: Gwendolyn Vespertine (Gwen) Level: 1 (0/100) Title(s): {Descendant of the Champion} {"How are you not fat?!"} Trait: {Gluttony} Race: Human Hp: 110/110 Mp: 200/200 Stamina: 110/110 Satiety: 6.8%(0% stored) Status: STARVED, Awakening shock Strength: 12 Endurance: 11 Charisma: 15 Intelligence: 13 Magic: 20 Dexterity: 13 Willpower: 12 Skills: None

I felt insulted by that weird 2nd title, but decided to check my trait first, as that would most likely be the largest factor in my growth.

{Gluttony}:

Food never pushes your satiety above 10%.

Grants the title: “How are you not fat?!”

Well that explains the rude title, and while the trait itself is literal trash, maybe the title has good benefits

{"How are you not fat?!"}

Keeps the body’s figure in optimal shape and stores excess fat.

Stored fat is automatically used when your satiety is below 10%.

Stored fat gives a bonus to charisma

While this at least means my trait won't starve me, and the charisma bonus is pretty nice, they’re still complete trash.

Maybe my affinities will be high-tier to make up for this? Right?

I wait until i am at the front of the line and the appraiser tells me my affinities one by one

“Affinity for light… is zero, looks like you’re unlucky kid.” My heart drops into my stomach as i hear this, but then I remember that there are other elements.

“What about the other elements?”

“We don’t usually measure the other ones for you here, but I guess iI’ll do you a favor since you’re so unlucky.” Butterflies fly in my stomach, but my hopes are still high for my other affinities to be good, as everyone always has at least 100% affinity in total.

“Affinity for water… is zero, wow...” My face turns white as I hear a few sniggers behind me from others who overheard.

“Affinity for earth.. Is zero as well.” The sniggers turn to chuckles, but I don't hear them over the screaming of my stomach.

“Affinity for air is.. zero.” The chuckles turn to mocking laughter. As I feel my stomach eating me from the inside.

“Affinity for fire is… WHAT?!” Everyone turns silent.

“How high is it??” I ask in a mix of hope and desperation, as the hunger erodes my mind.

“Zero.” He whispers to me, although everyone else hears it over the silence.

“Crap-baskets” I mutter as I lose my grip on consciousness and pass out.
