Memory and the Past

Before Alisa had even come of age, her parents had sent her before the slave master, demanding that she take part in every season's labor.

During the unbearably hot farming season, her younger brothers lounged beneath the shade of trees, taking leisurely naps and resting, while she had to toil in the fields, drenched in sweat!

More than once, she collapsed beneath the blazing sun from sheer exhaustion;

During the bitterly cold rotation season, her younger brothers sat beside roaring fires to keep warm, while she had to wash clothes in freezing river water!

She scrubbed until her hands turned red, until they froze numb and lost all feeling;

Just as Alisa was about to reach her limit, fate took a turn.

On the day she was about to come of age, a day that should have held little work, a day when she could have celebrated her birthday in ease, Alisa collapsed from exhaustion in a field full of mud and blood-sucking insects, accidentally awakening her Talent Abilities.

Diamond Rank, [Goddess of Fortune's Favor]!

At first, the catfolk couple did not report Alisa's awakened Talent Abilities to the slave master.

It was not to protect their daughter, but because Greed had taken hold of them, and they intended to reap some benefits first.

Whenever a Rift outbreak ended and the monster corpses were being cleared away, they would secretly hide several [Fate Coins].

Over time, they accumulated nearly twenty of them.

Whenever the night was still and quiet, they would take out one or two to use in secret.

During that time, [Goddess of Fortune's Favor] did indeed bring some small improvements to Alisa's miserable life.

Although she still could not sit at the table and eat with her younger brothers, at least the food before her was warm.
