I spent the last few days at my house relaxing and waiting for my body to be at one hundred percent. While I was relaxing I was, unfortunately, visited by my "precious" childhood friend. He would bring me different types of gifts to help me get better.

The servants in my house found it cute how considerate he was being but I could only see him in a negative light. I will never fully trust him. I won't trust anyone who is involved in a way with my death in the game. I have to be careful around them.

After a few days of me not doing anything, my 'father' sent me my usual tutor to make sure I was being kept up to pace with everything. From Aurelia's memories, she didn't enjoy studying at all. She could never be good enough in her 'father's' eyes. Only her 'brother' was the perfect child so she always hid away from her tutor and never did her work.

Seeing as I am here now I will do something different. In my previous life, I had to keep my grades better than anyone if I wanted the best life. Not having anyone to support you and your education is difficult so you have to become someone that people want to support. No one cares about a child without parents that much.

I will be better than my dear older 'brother'. I don't want my father to praise me for what I am going to do. I just want to crush my 'brother' under my feet and become someone even better than him.

The day when my tutor came to my house, I was already sitting at my desk waiting for them to arrive. When I heard my bedroom door being knocked on I permitted them to come into my room.

I look at my tutor who just came into my room. It was a man who looked to be around twenty. I raised my eyebrow at him because I wasn't expecting someone who is so built to be a tutor. His intimidating black eyes met mine and I could feel him judging me. His short brown hair was neatly styled to the back. He was wearing a simple suit that had one button undone.

"I see that you are ready to learn today Aurelia. I am surprised to see this." My tutor sat in a chair that was near my desk. He put down different books on my desk and I looked at them with interest.

There were different books on all the things required for me to know before I can publicly go to school and make myself known to the rest of the important higher up people. There was also a book on magic and how to understand it.

That was another thing I enjoyed about this game. It was the fact that even though it was based in modern time people could still use magic but in a more modern way. Everyone can use magic when they reach the age of five. Rarer cases can use magic at sixteen.

The magic types in this world are water, fire, air, earth, light, and darkness. The strongest magic is darkness but it is also the most dangerous one since it can corrupt the user if they are not careful enough.

Light magic is something that people can use but not a lot. When someone does have light magic they are usually seen as some form of luck bringer or whatever bullshit some religious asshole tells everyone.

Aurelia can use dark magic and this doesn't help with her relationship with other people. Her magic isn't that strong but it can do some damage. My 'father' blames the fact I can use dark magic for the death of my mother. I do not see how that is even possible but why bother talking to stubborn people.

Aurelia often uses her magic to mess with the heroine who, not a huge surprise..., can use light magic. What a lucky thing for her. The creator had to make the villainess of the game have the "bad" magic so that the heroine was even better in the eyes of everyone.

Technically magic in this world isn't bad or good. It depends on the people who use it. Aurelia's magic was bad because she was actively going against the heroine. But it could have been good.
