The Weight of Legacy Novel
Malwine, a scholar of history with a troublesome violent streak, perishes when her spacecraft destined for the Moon erupts in disaster—only to be reborn into an entirely unfamiliar world. This realm, submerged beneath endless waves following an Emperor's reckless outburst at the Heavens, thrives on bloodline-rooted power and mana cultivation. A System grants her exceptional Skills perfectly suited to her inquisitive nature. Yet her rebirth comes with a devastating curse: a -99% stat debuff that systematically dismantles every advantage her second chance should provide.
Forced to exist as an infant in a landscape she scarcely comprehends, Malwine faces mounting adversity. Her ancestors' legacy weighs heavily—particularly her grandfather's murderous reputation—while sky-dwelling smiters harbor inexplicable, persistent grudges. The knowledge repositories that once defined her life have disappeared, rendering her vast experience nearly useless.
Despite her crippling curse, Malwine's progression accelerates remarkably. Watch her aspirations collide with persistent self-doubt, supernatural hostility, and chaos entirely of her own making. Can she reclaim her ancestral Legacies while drowning under curses, hunted by celestial enemies, and grappling with the realities of infancy?
What to Expect:
- A protagonist whose confidence struggles to keep pace with her foreign circumstances
- Nerfed-to-Strong progression (the inherited curse directly sabotages typical isekai advantages—resolution approaches, but brace for hardship)
- Multiple viewpoints following family and companions affected by the cursed reincarnation
- LitRPG with leveling, Skills, Classes, and cultivation mechanics
- Leveling determined by total Skill advancement and mana cultivation rather than combat alone
- An MC starting as an infant who grows beyond early chapters
- Comedy blended with wildly anachronistic worldbuilding and audacious story escalations
- Weekly updates minimum
