Evelyn Ashcroft! Considered the failure of her family, with a weak Rank F Blessing despite being in the Sixth Layer, it is considered a poor ability, causing her to be mistreated from a very young age, but that will change, now that a reincarnated girl has fused with her, a huge fan of the game “Curse and Love in Six Acts”.However, it turns out that the reincarnated girl died before playing the latest version necessary, which would have taught her important things.

Armed with limited knowledge, a puppeteering ability, and a narcissism that makes her take complicated decisions, she will move forward trying to overcome her adversities!

The novel Chronicles of the Hero of Frosimar is a story about the failures of the protagonist not the successes.“It’s not good.”The First Emperor, who conquered the whole world, closed his eyes with a brief appreciation (after reading the novel).But the moment he opened his eyes again, there were only a few lines about him in the Chronicles of the Hero of Frosimar.This was because he became an imprisoned prince who met death with his first appearance (in the novel).
