Synopsis
Elise gave her life on Earth pulling a drowning boy from the surf. She expected peace, or perhaps oblivion. Instead, she opens her eyes in the body of an unacknowledged noble's daughter—illiterate, penniless, and two months away from being sold into serfdom. Her options are bleak: marry a hunter's son who reeks of wet dog, become the plaything of a steward's lecherous son, or beg a grandfather who would only laugh her off his estate. Then, a status panel materializes in her mind. [Light Theology] (Lv. 1) [Yassian Language] (Lv. 1) No combat skills. No free stat points. Just one terrifying advantage: anything she learns, she retains forever. Now, Elise has a new choice. Become a nun. Master the Codex. Awaken to the transcendent. She may have started as a destitute and forgotten outcast, but she is destined to become a legend—the most radiant Saintess the Church of Light has ever known.
