“Hmph, just a low-rank hero after all.”
“Eh... what exactly is going on?”
Lin Ling sat flat on her butt on the ground, looking up at the figures in white robes before her. They were muttering words she couldn't understand at all, but their expressions were unified in one thing—disappointment.
And just a short while ago—
She had been sitting in front of her computer, running a raid.
“Where's the healer?! Give us a heal!”
“Holy crap, look at this healer's health bar?! How did they even get into the party?!”
Her teammates opened Lin Ling's status panel.
—Health Points: 1
As everyone knows, in most games, a healer's output is tied to their maximum health.
But she—
She was a healer with her health locked at 1.
“Hmph... save people? Save people?”
Lin Ling let out a cold laugh, controlling her character to walk toward the boss step by step.
“In this long process of healing others, I have come to a realization!”
“Being a healer means you can't save everyone.”
“What kind of nonsense are you talking?!”
“So—”
She pressed the skill key.
“I’m giving up my humanity, teammates!!”
“To protect everyone—I shall activate one incredible skill!”
“The Last Sacrament!!!”
A white light exploded.
The next second, the results screen popped up.
Then—
The voice channel exploded.
Curses, 'greetings' to her family, and toxic flaming flew everywhere.
Finally, she was kicked from the party.
“Do these people even understand the mechanics?! All we needed to do was clear the stage.”
Lin Ling slammed her desk in frustration.
Right then, a line of text jumped out in the chat box—【So, you think you’re brave?】
“Please, I’m super brave, okay?”
She rolled her eyes.
【Are you interested in challenging this 'raid'?】
“Huh? You calling me a coward?”
Without thinking, she clicked confirm.
—Then, the world before her eyes suddenly turned white.
When she opened her eyes again.
She was standing in the middle of a massive summoning circle.
“No way...”
Lin Ling looked at the white-robed people around her, her lips twitching.
“That raid invitation... was an invitation to another world?!”
While she was dazed—

【Welcome to—Central Continent】
In the next moment.
She suddenly understood their words.
“Dammit... to think we only summoned such a low-rank hero...”
“But our mana has been completely drained...”
“Bishop Karl... what if she's an Intelligence-type Hero?”
“Intelligence? We don't have time to gamble on those odds right now!”
The sounds of their argument rose and fell.
Lin Ling: ...
Wow, having a meeting right in front of me, are we?
Ultimately.
They reached a decision—
“Give her some gold coins and have her dissolve the Hero Contract.”
Lin Ling: “???”
“Wait! Can't you send me back?!”
The man called Karl walked up to her and bowed deeply.
“We are terribly sorry, but we cannot return you to your original world.”
“...”
The air went silent for a second.
Then—
“Whatever, I’m already here, so I might as well—live a good life in this world!”
After a brief negotiation.
She was taken to a temporary room.
The moment the door closed.
She let out a long breath.
“Another world... a Hero...”
“It's all the fault of that damn 'raid invitation'...”
She held her head and rolled around on the bed.
“But...”
She suddenly stopped.
“That world didn't really have anything worth missing anyway.”
Work, the orphanage, the bullying...
She fell silent for a few seconds.
Then she gave a soft smile.
“Then I'll work hard to survive!”
On one side of the room stood a floor-length mirror.
Lin Ling instinctively walked over to it.
Then—she froze.
The person in the mirror was not the self she remembered.
It was a young girl dressed in a long, white nun's habit.
Her slender frame was wrapped in soft fabric, the hem of the dress falling like water, adorned with blue ribbons and exquisite cross patterns. Her long white hair was as smooth as moonlight, cascading down from beneath her veil all the way to her waist.
She reached out and gently touched her face.
The girl in the mirror performed the same action.
Her skin was so white it was almost transparent, as if it would melt into the light with a single touch. Those pale blue eyes were quiet and soft, yet carried a slight sense of surreal detachment.
“...”
Lin Ling blinked.
“Who is this?”
She tilted her head.
The girl in the mirror tilted her head too.
“...Me?”
She was silent for two seconds.
Then her face slowly turned red.
“This is just cheating...”
She covered her face.
“Isn't this—way too pretty?!”
Muttering to herself, she opened her character panel.

“This is just my character from the game...”
She murmured softly.
“Except I didn't bring my warehouse with me.”
She flopped onto the bed.
“Whatever... I'll think about it tomorrow.”
Closing her eyes.
She welcomed her first night in this world.
