{Participant in the October 2024 Royal Road Writathon challenge} An elderly family historian with a poorly-suppressed penchant for violence meets a tragic end when the spaceship she takes to the Moon explodes, and so Malwine is born (reborn?), ready to once again become everybody else’s problem. Her new world is full of bloodline-based abilities and mana cultivation alike, so she’s bound to have a fun time. The system’s even given her some juicy Skills that reward her usual probing! If only she hadn’t reincarnated into a world half-buried under the waves after the last Emperor yelled at the Heavens a bit too loudly, with no document repositories in sight. Watch as Malwine’s dubious dreams of using the knowledge from her once-long lifespan to her advantage, becoming a powerful mana wielder, and reclaiming her new ancestors’ Legacies, clash with being born cursed, surviving the ever-growing fallout of her new grandfather being a murderhobo, and avoiding the strange grudge-holding smiters who live in the “sky”. At least she’s leveling up fast! Ignore the -99% stat debuff, Malwine! What to expect: - A main protagonist whose self-esteem hasn’t quite caught up to being in a completely unfamiliar environment - Nerfed to Strong progression (as the description implies, the MC inherited a curse that coincidentally ruins all her isekai-given advantages—it will be dealt with, but walk into this aware of it) - A measure of perspective switches that follow the family and fellows unfortunate enough to have had a cursed reincarnated baby born among them - LitRPG with leveling, Skills, Classes, and very loose cultivation elements! (author may be taking quite the liberal approach to the connection between that English word and trees) - Levels that are determined by total Skill levels and mana cultivation rather than only combat (there are advantages to combat, but you won't be seeing every noncombatant being level 1 that can't progress) - Main protagonist starts (restarts?) off as an infant, so be aware of that—she won’t stay little for a million chapters, however - Comedy with a wildly anachronistic world and story arcs that are wilder still - Author’s formative years may have involved learning the meanings of new English words from a mysterious leather-bound dictionary, so corrections are expected Premise inspired by the anecdotal concept of people in cultivation/progression stories talking about how a character’s born strong because of their bloodline/family but never explaining what the deal of that bloodline/family is. Cover DIY by the author (and it shows). {A winner in the April 2024 Royal Road Writathon challenge} Schedule: Once a week at mininum
