Selena was just a normal person before, and she lived in a remote village. Just a normal villager with no power to heal.
She had a twin sister that was as beautiful as her, the thing that differentiated her and her twin sister was the mole below her eye.
It was just a normal life of a villager, but a happy life. Her family had a grape farm, and also chickens and sheep. Not that rich in her village, but everything was enough for her.
She and her twin sister thought they would marry the talented man in the village and had a new family with the village too. But that changed when the young Aren visited the village, the young Aren was Silver Rank Adventurer five years ago.
He and his party came for a quest but accidentally discovered the village. That was where the disaster started. The young Aren fell in love with his twin sister and confessed.
Her twin sister did not know much about the young Aren and rejected him outright. She and her twin sister did not fall for him just because he was strong or a fancy adventurer. However, the young Aren was a noble's offspring.
He could not accept that he was being rejected. One day, when she went to the forest to look for herbs and some stuff. Aren and his party were doing something atrocious. They attacked the village and killed almost everyone in the village.
He killed her father and her mother and kidnapped her twin sister. Aren and his party raped her in turns until she lost her life. Later on, the Adventurer Guild found out what he did and brought him for the trial.
She thought that he would receive what he deserved. But Selena then found out that the man was proven innocent by the judge. It was his party who did the atrocious things, and Aren was not involved in the crime.
And in fact, the thing that made her angrier was the judge stated Aren was a victim too. Somehow, her twin sister had become his girlfriend and claimed Aren was innocent. That was what led her to the vengeance path, and she was about to avenge her family and her twin sister.

"Ahhhh!" Selena screamed as she woke up from her nightmare. Sweat dripped off from her forehead as she immediately scanned her surroundings. She was in her room, and just experienced her daily nightmare.
She was about to get up from her bed, but she felt a sting below there. For her vengeance, she made a deal with the devil, not she was different from the man. She got the interest by torturing the man who had taken her family.
"It seems we overdid," her hand moved to her vital region, "But that was actually very good, didn't expect it would be that good," she muttered in a low voice.
For her family's vengeance, she sold herself to the monster. At least that was what people called him after slaughtering sixteen parties of adventurers though more than half was killed by Evan. But people put all the blame on him alone.
Selena got up, washed her face, and got dressed up. Aren was still alive, limbless. He stayed outside the city with Tang Shaoyang, of course. She could only get to kill the man after she finished her job, spying the city.
That was the deal, she was his slave, and tasked to spy on the city. In return, the man was her to kill. Last night, she just reported the situation in the city to the man. So he had his way with her, not something she disliked, in fact, she loved it a lot.
"It seems I have become a pervert…"
She went to the kitchen and prepared a simple breakfast to fill her empty belly. Sitting alone in the kitchen, she tried to fill her schedule for today. No one suspected her after her party was wiped out, and Dan, the Assassin, was still missing too.
"Mnn, my job is to find out what happened to Deril and Murie. The Diamond Rank Party who comes to the city, and also buys some defensive skills from the Realm Tower," Selena listed the things she had to do for today.
"Ah, I have to search Dan as well, but at this point, looking for him is very difficult," Selena tapped her finger on the table. She had known Dan for months, if he did not want to show up, she could do anything to find him until he showed up himself.
"There's nothing I can do about but to wait. I hope he did not see anything to what I did to Aren, it would blow my cover," she finished the bread in her hand and finished the milk afterward.
Selena went back to her closet and opened it up. There was a secret drawer in her closet. She opened it up and took the skin mask. After putting on the mask, she got the storage bag given to her by the man. There were a few thousand gold coins inside the bag, the money to buy the skill scroll.
"Mnn, I have to change my robe too, I should be mourning for my party members," she got a darker robe and changed her attire. After that, she went outside for her tasks.
"Let's get some skills from the Realm Tower first," the Realm Tower was located in the center of the city, in the core region where the City Lord lived.
When she arrived at the gate to enter the core region, there was a short line in front of the gate. There was a rule you have to follow to enter the core region. First, a permanent resident of the core region had free access, of course. Second, 50 copper coins fee, and weapons were not allowed inside the core region.
Soon, it was her turn. She did not have a weapon, to begin with, so she just handed the guard 50 copper and her gold badge to show her identity as an adventurer. It was smooth, she entered the core region without a problem.
As soon as she entered the core region, her eyes turned toward the Realm Tower. The tower was eye-catching, the tallest building in the city. The twelve floors tower could be seen from the gate.
The core region was less crowded and the street was more organized. There was no stall on the sides, and pots of flowers decorated the street. The air was fresher than the outer region for sure, but it was not the time for her to enjoy such a luxury.
Selena picked up her pace toward the Realm Tower. After a quick five minutes of walking, she arrived in front of the tower. The tower was not fancy decorated, but it gave off an ancient vibe. Two armored guards stood at the entrance, guarding the door.
She walked toward the Realm Tower. This was not her first time to go the tower obviously as she remained composed even though the two guards suddenly moved forward and had their spears directed at her.
"Gold Rank Adventurer, and want to purchase skill scroll from the Tower Realm," She showed her golden badge and bowed her head slightly. After a brief introduction from her, the two guards lowered their spears and returned to their original spots
Being associated with Tang made her nervous slightly. But for her vengeance, she would do anything, even her life at the stake. Selena then pushed the double silver door and entered the tower.
