The world was unfair.
Too unfair.
Sylvie had known that since the day her parents were taken from her.
Not by beasts or illness but by something worse.
Humans.
That was the first time she learned how cruel humans could become.
Especially the ones who once smiled at you.
Who held your hand.
Who promised you safety…
Only to betray you with cold eyes.
From that day on, she swore never to trust again.
She swallowed her sorrow and focused on training her body and mind to the limits for a single purpose:
Revenge.
And yet fate took another twist of cruelty.
Among numerous other candidates, she was chosen from her orphanage to be admitted into the Noxvalen, a Demon Academy far from the human empire.
Still, she didn't give up the dream of revenge and trained herself harder.
Even when her muscles screamed.
Even when her stomach twisted from hunger.
Even when all she had to eat was a half-stale loaf of bread…
She trained.
She endured.
