It really was Frank... Even with a Transmigrator thrown into the mix, he'd stayed true to himself and followed the same path as in the original story. Remarkable...
Or perhaps Lamia wasn't a Transmigrator at all. Perhaps she'd been Frank's adoptive mother in the original story too, which would explain why things hadn't changed much.
Judging by the writing on the sign at the entrance, she certainly looked like a beginner when it came to Chinese characters...
So she might not be a Transmigrator herself. She might simply have known one—perhaps the person who brought the Tudor Badge here.
And perhaps that person had inspired the plants she created from games in my previous life...
