Freedom After Pain
From the very first pages, your heart can't help but ache for the tragic fate of Keina Kagami. At just seventeen, she endured the devastating loss of her parents in a horrific accident. Left paralyzed, she spent her days confined to a hospital bed, kept alive only by cold, lifeless machines.
Yet, her spirit never withered; instead, she found her own sky of freedom within the virtual world of the game Leadale. Her peaceful passing following a sudden power outage is not a tragic end, but a merciful release. It opens a new door, gently ushering her into a world where she truly belongs.
The transition from a cramped, sterile hospital room to vast, rolling green fields is beautifully crafted. You can practically feel her overwhelming joy when she experiences a cool breeze on her skin for the first time. It is not just a physical rebirth, but a true liberation of the soul.
Waking up as a beautiful High Elf named Cayna, she finally gets to live a real life. She is free to breathe the fresh air, walk on her own two feet, and take in the sights of the world. It is a deeply emotional beginning that gently tugs at the reader's heartstrings.
The New Life of a witch
Two hundred years have passed in Leadale, making the world unfamiliar yet utterly enchanting. As the third Skill Master boasting an incredible level of 1100, she possesses the power of a supreme witch. But instead of using this might to dominate, she chooses to walk a leisurely path and truly savor life.
Cayna's personality is a lovely blend of a seventeen-year-old's innocence and a top-tier player's maturity. Her ability to communicate with plants keeps her deeply attuned to nature. The quiet moments where she chats with flora bring an unbelievable sense of peace to the reader.
Despite her god-like powers, Cayna never distances herself from others. She eagerly helps the villagers, learns how to cook, and simply enjoys delicious food. The sheer simplicity of her lifestyle is a major highlight, making the story feel warm and comforting.
Her cluelessness when facing the changes of this new world is incredibly endearing. Free of any grand ambitions, she only wants to find her old fellow player companions and protect those she holds dear. The contrast between her overwhelming power and her pure, innocent soul gives her a unique charm.
A Wonderful Bond
The most heartwarming aspect of the story is the reunion between Cayna and the NPCs she created years ago. Her three virtual 'children'—most notably her eldest son Serg at level 300 and her daughter Mai-Mai—have now become independent living entities. They have their own families, real emotions, and hold their 'mother' in the highest regard.
The hilarious, awkward situations of a seventeen-year-old girl having to mother fully grown adults add so much charm to the narrative. This unusual maternal bond is written so naturally, offering a warm and deeply touching experience. It beautifully heals the wounds of Keina Kagami, who lost her family in her previous life.
Her relationship with her children goes far beyond mere game system labels. They genuinely care for her as they would for a flesh-and-blood mother. This sacred familial bond transcends all virtual barriers, forming an unbreakable connection.
She also finds comfort in reuniting with her old friend Opus, the thirteenth Skill Master at level 1103 from the game's beta testing days. Their conversations, alongside the support from helper characters like the level 550 duo Roxine and Shii, make her journey feel much less lonely.
