That night, she was bored and illegally downloaded and installed "Life is but a Rose", the most cheesy and terribly rated otome game of 2001. Just as promised, it was laughably bad. She heckled the game the entire night, finishing it at dawn. As she fell asleep she thought, "Did monkeys write this? How could they let the characters be so dumb, if it were me I wouldn't be that stupid..." And then she woke up in the body of a child "Camilla Florentine." The dumbest character of them all: the villainess. Bad ends and death flags are all that await the arrogant and proud Daughter of the Duke. But only if she went according to the script! As long as she makes her own "Escape Route", surely nothing could go wrong... "Huh? I activated a hidden route? Who cares about that! Love flags or whatever, I've got a great job lined up and can live how I want, screw the game's fate and capture targets! I'M FREEEEEEE!" Runs out the door. Years later: "Why did a Capture Target follow me to a completely different country??????" *** A sweet, silly story written over three days.

Introduction This universe consists of Gods, Superheroes, Villains, and many more advanced civilizations. This universe was created by Omkar who is the god of gods. He created many universes and then they created Lord Brahma The Lord of creation, Lord Vishnu the Lord of preservation and Lord Shiva the destroyer, they were also called together Trimurti by other gods. They made other gods and gave them their unique powers. They decided to make a leader of the gods and they chose God Indra to lead other gods. Trimurti also created rakshas, asura and many more powerful monster like creatures but, that was their mistake to create them as they attacked on the gods to get more powers and the motive was to conquer the world but Trimurti helped Gods and locked monsters in several pockets of patal lok every pocket could be unlocked with several special keys made by God Vishvakarma, and gods started living in swarglok which was so peaceful place. Later all gods decide to make 5 elemental rings(these rings also can choose their owner by there own) full of cosmic energy (there are two types of energy that are Cosmo and Cosmic, Cosmo energy can be achieved by anyone but Cosmic energy can't be possessed by anyone who is not a god except one in the history) with the help of God Vishvakarma. They made some elemental stones with the help of rings which can be attached from the rings(unlike rings, stones can't choose their owners by themselves). All the rings were preserved in 5 different chambers no one knows where those chambers were. Thousands of years later one person got all of the rings and unlocked some of creatures from patal and started killing everyone in the universe but some gods managed to kill that person and decides to not interfere in the universe directly instead operate all of the universe from swarglok and again put all the rings in the chamber and later that chambers got broke and all rings lost in darkness of the space some says that the chambers broke eventually and some says it was broken by someone Later on&..
