Guinevere blinked, her vision slowly coming into focus. She found herself lying in a soft, warm bed, the sheets silky against her skin. The room was unfamiliar, with elegant furnishings and a large window overlooking a sprawling estate.
She sat up slowly, her mind racing as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. The last thing she remembered was the explosion at the art gallery, the Blackwater family lying dead amidst the rubble.
But now, she was here, in this strange place. A system notification floated in the corner of her vision, asking if she wanted to accept a rebirth contract.
"What is this?" she muttered, reaching out to touch the notification with a trembling hand.
As soon as her finger made contact, a flood of information poured into her mind. She saw flashes of another life, another world entirely different from the one she knew. A world where magic existed, where heroes and villains clashed in epic battles.
The system let out whine this host is so stubborn! Than the system got an idea!
"Host! Host! I will take you back to the past where you can save your biological family!"
Guinevere whose soul was suffering from torture clenched her jaw and hissed out.
"No I will wait for 100,000 years for my rebirth to return back to the past!" Guinevere said being stubborn.
The system freaked out once again.
"Waaa host waiting for that long then return to the past is it possible?"
"Is this not hell? I am being tortured with tie thousands I killed so be it!" Guinevere said. So the system sighed and did as Guinevere said and waited for hundred and thousands of years.
And so, Guinevere waited. The endless stretch of time passed in a blur, each moment an eternity of torment and regret. She floated in an ocean of darkness, haunted by the faces of those she had killed, their accusations echoing through the void.
But she endured, her stubborn will unbroken. She would not be swayed by the system's pleas or promises. She would wait for her rebirth, no matter how long it took.
Centuries turned to millennia, and still Guinevere persisted. The universe itself seemed to hold its breath, waiting for this enigmatic soul to make her choice.
Finally, after untold eons had passed, a faint glimmer of light pierced the darkness. A beautiful slender reached as it grabbed the system that seems to have forgotten its host but always talked to her.
"Now it's time to return to the past," she said. Guinevere the SSSSSlevel Queen of Mercenaries, became the ruler of the underworld after her death— The Empress of Hell! She is highly intelligent, callous, and cruel in her methods. With her adorable pet system she will crush anyone that comes her way. She raised her hand as a clock appeared.
"Host by doing this your immortal powers will be sealed off and you won't be able to access your Heavenly Hell Palace, or other things!" The cute adorable system bear which she called Tun Tun said.
"Mmm not bad that's fine," she said as her eyes glowed.
Tun Tun, the adorable system bear, blinked its large eyes in surprise. It had been so long since Guinevere had spoken, and now she was agreeing to seal away her immense powers? The little bear tilted its head, trying to understand.
"Are you sure, Host? Once your powers are sealed, you'll be just an ordinary human for the first part of your life. It won't be easy..."
Guinevere's lips curled into a cold smile. "Easy? I've endured hell for eons. What's a little mortal struggle compared to that?"
She waved her hand dismissively, and the clock began to spin faster. Years flashed by in an instant, until it settled on a date from her past
"There," she said, satisfied.
"Now let's see how things unfold."
With a final flick of her wrist, Guinevere's immortal powers were sealed away. She felt a strange sensation wash over her, like a heavy weight lifting from her shoulders. For the first time in eternity, she felt... mortal.
Tun Tun watched with wide eyes as Guinevere stood up from the bed and stretched languidly.
"So," she said with a smirk. But than the clock cracked and a portal appeared and sucked in both of them and Guinevere screamed bloody hell..?
🌸🌸🌸
Guinevere opened her eyes waiting this room she is back at the Blackwater Family in about two days Josephine will be brought to the family and they would do a DNA test where Guinevere found out she isn't the real heiress. Guinevere put her hands on her face and she laughed she was so happy because she is 17 years old again and this time she can save her biological family her eyes became so red and the system gasped.
"Host host what happen to the Time Space Clock?"
"Oh that? It was just luck but it seems it works! It took me the date I really wanted to return too," Guinevere said.
Tun Tun's eyes widened in shock as it realized the implications of Guinevere's words. The Time Space Clock, a powerful artifact capable of manipulating time and space, had been shattered during their journey. And yet, somehow, Guinevere had managed to bend the very fabric of reality to her will.
"It worked..." the little bear whispered, disbelief written across its furry face.
Guinevere's smile grew wider, her eyes sparkling with mischief and determination. She was back where she belonged, with the chance to right the wrongs of her past.
"This is perfect," she murmured, already formulating a plan in her mind.
She turned to Tun Tun, her expression serious.
"Let me take a shower and go get me some food," Guinevere said when her soul was being tortured she learned many things. As she took a long bath she closed her eyes as her red crimson hair was wet it felt like an endless phoenix flame.
As Guinevere emerged from the bathroom, wrapped in a plush towel, she felt a renewed sense of purpose. The hot water had washed away the lingering echoes of her past torment, leaving her refreshed and focused.
She dressed quickly, selecting a simple yet elegant outfit from the closet. A pair of fitted jeans hugged her curves, while a soft cashmere sweater kept her warm. She left her hair damp and loose, the crimson strands cascading down her back like a river of fire.
Tun Tun watched her with admiration, its eyes shining with affection. Despite the horrors Guinevere had endured, it saw only strength and resilience in her.
"Are you ready to face them?" the little bear asked softly.
"Tun Tun, who am I?" Guinevere asked her little system pet and she rubbed lotion her arms and legs.
"You host who came back to protect your biological family," Tun Tun said. Guinevere nodded her head she will protect her family the Hewsworth family her family is poor but Guinevere doesn't care about her birth family being poor. This time around she will protect them. She took a deep breath.
