Popular NPC in a Gender-Reversed Game

Nikki Tanesia sometimes describes herself as a "nonexistent person."

It was a somewhat self-deprecating expression.

Originally, manifestors were beings who were not welcomed anywhere, so excluding the group Lemeton... Nikki’s life had been filled with living in hiding.

The memory that stuck most clearly in her mind was none other than her 10th birthday. After infusing divine power, a nail-shaped tattoo appeared on her side. Her mother's face wrinkled as if she had bitten into rotten meat. The horrified retainers and her father, quietly shedding tears in a corner. Everything was as vivid as if it had just happened.

Although she was only 10 years old, she could clearly tell something was wrong.

That night, Nikki was thrown out onto the cold street. She screamed and cried, but the people simply ignored her. In a single moment, she went from a noble lady with high honor to a person whose status was erased.

Anyway, after that, she went through many things. She ran away to avoid surprise inspections by the guards, joined an adventurer’s party for a while to live a peaceful life, only to be kicked out and left with a great scar on her heart.@@novelbin@@

By some twist of fate, she ended up joining Lemeton and managed to survive... but the wounds from her childhood were not so easily healed.

Thus, she was a "nonexistent person." After all, she was a bankrupt with no identification, living as a shadow in society, so being treated as if she didn’t exist made little difference.

It was a pretty miserable way to be treated, but Nikki didn’t dwell on the sadness of it.

After all, this was the life of most manifestors.

In fact, she considered herself lucky. Most manifestors were discovered at the age of 10 and executed. Or, even if they survived, they would soon turn into demons and self-destruct.

In that sense, surviving to adulthood was quite a decent life. After joining Lemeton, life had been pretty comfortable, and she found some peace of mind.

So, she had just resigned herself to living as she was born... she accepted that being recognized would be impossible from now on... and lived like that.

She wanted many things, but she could say her life had been somewhat satisfactory.

... Until she met him.

After encountering him, who lived leisurely in the forest, she began to feel one emotion.

It wasn’t anything particularly special. She’d sometimes felt it when seeing citizens walking down the street, laughing heartily.
