Chapter 0007
Athena came to a conclusion. Forget the whole situation about the original body.
Yeah yeah, almost all the books she read about reincarnation, the one taking over the body take vengeance for the original body some way or another. He or she kills the people who bullies the original body, cultivate-slash-grow into power and show the whole world their awesome abilities while attracting rich and powerful friends/protectors/spouses (depending on the gender of the main character or if it is a harem novel).
Athena scoff at such obvious tropes.
While it is intriguing to follow the main character power up while avenging any grievous route, it doesn’t fit with Athena’s style.
After living with that family back on Earth, Athena is done taking care of family. Other people’s problem, who cares! It has nothing to do with Athena. As long is it doesn’t affect Athena or touch her bottom line, Athena couldn’t care less.
To anyone thinking, this body gave you a second chance to live, shouldn’t you do something to for the original owner, Athena’s answer is simple: the original is body dead; she gave nothing to Athena. In fact, it was Athena who did all the work! It was Athena who defied fate and fought to be reborn in this new body. Nobody gave her anything. If the original body was smart, she wouldn’t end up dead and Athena wouldn’t be here.
Stupidity kills.
Athena isn’t stupid.
As a reincarnator, Athena is glad with the current situation. Asalia is an orphan. There is no need for Athena to pretend to be somebody else or scheme for a better life.
This is a rant Athena has held inside herself for a long time. To all the reincarnators, living or fiction, seriously, wtf! How the hell do someone just reincarnated, understand the situations as well as the norms and values of the current system and work it enough to benefit them. So what if they get the original body’s memories. Somethings shouldn’t be explained with gaining knowledge of someone else’s memories.

If it was like that, then back on Earth, Athena should be calm, elegant, eloquence with a sharp with and an engaging personality. She read enough books. Isn’t that like living someone else’s life. After all, having someone else’s memories isn’t exactly the same as living through their experiences. Or maybe watching movies is a better example. The viewer gains the knowledge without the painful experience. Isn’t the same thing as inheriting the original body memories?
And manners.
Let’s not forget manners and etiquette. There a reason why heirs to the aristocrat families back in the dark ages were drilled in deportment, manners and etiquette. Ladies, before they made their debut, had governesses train them in table manners, court etiquette and dancing.
Back then, everyone socialized and dance. Dancing is a must.
Athena stared at her two left feet.
Is there enough medieval movies showcasing the actors dancing gracefully for Athena to obtain a swan like grace. She can dance the waltz without stepping on people’s toes. Like that girl in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
Slowly Athena phantom mime the waltz she imagines in her head. She was held by a dashing hero as he swept her on to the dance floor and off her feet.
Ouch!
Athena grabbed her aching shin, hopping on one leg and yelling at the top of her lungs, “Where did that desk come from?”
Bang, bang, bang.
Down a little girl fell.
“What the hell, I was a mile away from that bookshelf.”
Plop, plop, plop.
Stupid books!
“Huh?”
Athena read the title of each book closely. Introduction to common professions, Beginner’s Art of Weapon Refinement, Beginner’s Art of Talisman Making, Beginner’s Art of Arrays, Beginner’s Art of Alchemy, Beginner’s Art of …..
“Golly gosh, this ring is a newbie beginner collector’s edition starting kit.” Athena pondered, “This was made for me. Starting background information, starting crafting material, starting introductory guide and world information. No wonder Asalia believed Dugu Shi Xiao loved her. He prepared everything she needed when she awakens her Immortal Potential.”
Athena sighed, “Fate is a bitch.”
