[Congratulations, Player BS-Rita, you have earned the permanent and unique title: The Moon Postwoman.]

The notification tones chimed one after another. Rita sat frozen on the couch, stunned. She hadn't expected the system to eject her instantly—no transition, no cooldown—just thrown straight out of the game.

The image of the Lightchaser sprite standing atop the table, triumphantly holding the Red Dragon tile, hadn't even faded yet.

But her mind kept circling back to that one divine comment:

"For those letters lost in the world, we cannot force any postman to retrieve them. All we can do is guide a postman to pass through that city at a certain time."

Who had said that?

Who could see through her thoughts so clearly?

Out of all the metaphors in the world, why did she choose the postwoman?

Because deep down, she'd always believed the story of the Moon Postwoman came from a stubborn truth buried in her heart—since Card Swap was a game created by gods, then Lightchaser must have been the destiny the gods arranged for her.

That belief had once hurt her, confused her, and yet she eventually chose to accept it.

She'd comforted herself by pretending it was fine—that Lightchaser was both fate's gift and compensation. That overthinking it would only ruin things, and sometimes ignorance was the price of happiness.

But now, some unknown god had told her that Lightchaser wasn't sent by the gods. The gods had only guided her… to pass by Caladom.

Rita let out a short, breathless laugh.

Cat's Ideal and Wrathful Moon floated out beside her, circling lazily overhead.

Nivalis and B8017913 buzzed around her too, muttering worried questions, repeating the same one over and over: "Where are your wings?"

Ah. That explained it. When she'd used a skill to glimpse the future, something had felt off—it was because her wings were missing.

Memories of Arisentna came flooding back—

Crying because of Mistblade's "betrayal."

Standing on the library rooftop, brewing wine from her own feathers.

And that unbearably cringe line she'd said back then: "To you, to me, never regret."

Rita flopped backward on the couch and started kicking her legs wildly.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

How could her fifteen-year-old self say something so painfully dramatic?!

Would it have killed her to just say, "Go to hell"?

She kicked harder, burying her face in embarrassment.

Nivalis and the little robot just sat on the coffee table, watching her meltdown.

So lively—clearly nothing serious.

Even BlueStar's global announcements lagged a few seconds because of her episode.

[BlueStar Announcement: War and chaos mark the dawn of legends. Only blood and defiance can uphold the honor of BlueStar.]

[BlueStar Judgment returns!]

[When the name of BlueStar resounds once more across the world, when BlueStar Judgment achieves unprecedented glory...]

[Forget those words—forget "The fate of BlueStar flickers like a candle in the wind." For now, BlueStar has Judgment.]

[Players of BlueStar, never regret the choice you made that day.]

[Remember? When she wins honor, BlueStar prospers.]

[Player Base Stats +5%]

[All Advanced Attributes +10%]

[Minimum Divine Gift Talent Tier raised to B]

[Human lifespan +100 years]

[+2 Allocatable Attribute Points per level up]

[Player BS-Rita receives +1,000,000 Honor Points]

Nivalis paused mid-bite, her spoon hovering. "Did BlueStar just… forget to mention us entirely?"

Wearing a plush collar and busy harvesting crops in-game, B8017913 didn't even look up. "Be grateful. At least it didn't say we got carried again."

Finally recovering from the wave of secondhand embarrassment, Rita sat up slowly.

She decided to distract herself by sorting through her Moon Postwoman championship rewards.

Her solo match skill, Let It Die, and her fun match skill, The Wind Doesn't Speak, had carried over automatically.

The team match rewards had granted her three SSS-tier skills. Now, she could pick three from all she'd acquired in Arisentna.

Without hesitation, she selected Lightchaser Moment, Lucky Number, and The End of the Story.

Then came the biggest prize—The Moon Postwoman.

[Moon Postwoman Reward: Player may select one elemental affinity to permanently alter their core attributes. The chosen element will accompany the player for life. Title "The Moon Postwoman" granted. +500 Free Attribute Points. Player may select 5 SSS-tier skills. Using any SSS-tier skill will trigger a celestial phenomenon. Player's racial potential greatly increased. Minimum Divine Gift Talent Tier: B.]

The title and racial upgrade had already been granted automatically during the Divine Game settlement and BlueStar's public announcement.

Now came the five SSS skills. The problem was—she didn't even have that many.

But as she flipped through her skill pages, her frown turned into a slow grin. Every skill counted. Even traits.

After thinking for a while, she decided to keep Summer Snowman, Blue-striped Bluru, Wrong Season, The Prologue of Legends, and Gift of Nature.

She skipped Nemesis.

Sure, it was powerful—but too situational. It only triggered when she faced Maple Syrup. What were the odds of that happening often enough to matter?

Besides, every time they locked eyes, she could feel Maple Syrup's stats doubling too.

If I get stronger, my Nemesis gets stronger. So in the end… does either of us actually improve?

Not worth wasting a slot.

Finally, her attention returned to the reward that intrigued her most.

"Player may select one elemental affinity to permanently alter their core attributes. The chosen element will accompany the player for life."
