The villainess shall be mine

Chapter 177 Another Rebirth (Part 2)

Many people tend to believe that life is unfair. Because, some were born with the inability to walk or to see. Some were just born with a frail body. And some were born with inferior intellect. These people believed and would certainly continue to believe that life was unfair. Even if they have a positive mindset and decide to not use their weakness as an excuse to not enjoy their life, the fact that they were not given the chance to experience a normal life was still undeniable.

Then, there was what human called society. There were also those who believed that their life was unfair because they lived within this society. For instance, those who were at the bottom of the hierarchy would fell so. These people felt exploited by those who stood at the top, and despite their struggle it was extremely rare that luck would work in their favor, no matter how hard they tried. This was proven by the history.

Also, there were also those who were born in place where the resources vital to maintain what could be considered a basic human lifestyle weren't enough. These people would certainly course their life. Why wasn't I born in a wealthier country? Why was I even born? The fact that they couldn't decide about where they would be born appeared to be a form of unfairness.

I any case, as long as the inequality existed, then unfairness would also exist. However, if viewed from a different perspective, if people didn't able the ability to think and just act based on their instinct, inequality would be irrelevant. In that case, the fact that the strong prey on the weak would be just a natural occurrence.

*****

Life was unfair to a certain girl. She was born and raised in an extremely unforgiving environment. To the point that she often needed to satisfy her anger by mud mixed with tamarind.

As long as she could remember, she never ate something that she could call delicious. She didn't even know that the word delicious existed. After all, her vocabulary was very limited, due to the fact that she never received any whatsoever education, and that her brain hadn't not developed.

People died on daily basis but for those who survived, that was just, for the better or for the worse, one less person to feed.

The little girl couldn't even imagine that there were people who lived in luxury, enjoying life at its fullest. She didn't know, and so she never thought that life was unfair. From the moment she was born, she never thought that there were something strange about her suffering.

That was so, until certain people came to her hometown. These people were different. Despite the other difference, like their skin color, the size of their body, what struck the little girl when she looked at these people was their eyes.

The look on their eyes when they observed her and her peers. It was a feeling that she couldn't put into words but it made her feel a lot of things at the same time.

No matter how she looked at it, these people were not like her. And then she realized that life was not only suffering.

Still, the suffering didn't stop... Until the moment she die, her suffering didn't stop.

Was the value of her life lower that those people's? She didn't know, and she didn't even think about it. In the end, only the people who were not experiencing the suffering themselves could make such an observation.

****

A second chance. Not many people get a second chance in their lifetime. For instance, life may give someone a second chance using luck. They may be lucky and find and break bypass the limits that life had set for them.

However, second was not also given to anyone. As such, it could be also considered unfair that certain people have such a luck when millions of others were suffering from unfairness like them.

Nonetheless, life have given the girl a second chance. She had reincarnated.

The little girl never thought things like reincarnation, another world or second chance. Her imagination was so limited that she couldn't even think about how good foods looked like.

As such, as soon as she regained her consciousness, she began to learn and assimilate a vast amount of knowledge even though she was still inside of tube.

The people who observed her from time to time were extremely different from any human she met in her life. However, one of them had particularly picked her interest.

This man looked at her with indifferent eyes. But it could be also said that he was seeing her as how he saw everyone else in the room.

Once she took the first step outside the tube, the man was there in front of her.

"Come with me, Neige." the man said extending her hand towards her. At that time, she didn't anything and took the man's hand.

*****

A few yers later, after the little girl was reborn and was given the name Neige, she was given a mission.

It was made clear to her that she should only live for the purpose of accomplishing this ultimate duty. She had to save the world, or so her father said.

At first, Neige continued to absorb as much information as she could. She was also given the most advanced for of education, and for someone who had never experienced such a thing, she enjoyed acquiring new knowledge.

Apart from learning about the existence of the law of physics, the importance of numbers and calculation, she had also learned about the existence of the gift.

This was something that made her feel excitation for the first time. Neige felt that the gift was something beautiful and very interesting. As such, she put more effort into developing her ability to manipulate the gift.

Neige had never thought that she was different from other people, or that she was now blessed. She wasn't even aware that there was a big difference between her previous world and the world were she was reincarnated into.

For someone who had never seen everything that her previous world had to offer, the thought that there many things things that were different didn't even occur to her. However, that also meant that she didn't know about the is similarities.

Neige had never learned about the notion of good or bad. She was someone who acted based on her survival instinct. But as she continued to grow, that changed.

When she heard about the that was paved for her by her father, she began to wonder. Why did she have to cast away her life for the world? What exactly was the world?

It didn't make sense to her. She was raised to become the next Holy Mother, and it was said that this was the greatest honor.

Neige didn't understand, no she had already learned about honor, and the duties of the royal family. However, it was just something that she couldn't yet accept.

She spent 20 years in suffering, and so she thought that this was her reward. After all, she was taught that by working hard, she should was would be rewarded. Because of that, she continued to works hard.

So why? The sense of honor, justice, or responsibility that people thought as something noble didn't quite make sense to her.

At least in her suffering, she could was free to do everything she wanted. Even though this fact didn't mean anything in her previous world, it was different now that she had a more imaginative mind.

She felt like she was restrained. Regardless, everyone else appeared to be living like their life like it was something normal.

Then, she discovered a new aspect of the world, about the more complex nature of human nature. She was introduced to society.

Even though she was living in a more or less form of society in her previous life, it was completely different. It was extremely nauseating. People were looking at her as if she was some kind of freak show.

It reminded her of the people who came to her hometown, but also completely different. Then, she was told that she to put some effort for the sake of these people. Why?

In theory, she understood what she had to and why she had to do it. The complexity of the society wasn't the problem. It was her as an individual.

After that, she was also introduced to the notion of happiness and freedom. The more she learned, the more she felt she was about to lose sight of herself.

When she looked at her father, the man who was know as the Emperor, he always appeared as if he knew what she was thinking. She also learned about the feeling of fear.

For the first time, she had a life that she didn't want to lose, and she was told that she needed to do what was expected from her if she wanted to continue to live like that.

Neige didn't want that kind of life.
