After learning what happened to Ume in her absence the very first thing she felt was sadness and it was followed by immense regret. The reason she died was not because of the abuse she was receiving from the men but because in her despair she had managed to learn a skill. A skill that allowed her to kill herself to get out of this situation.

That was not all. After she died, her dead body was not left alone. That organisation who was behind all these hung her dead body on a pole to show that they were truly able to protect the citizens as the evil man destroying witch was taken care of by them.

After learning about all these Elena was disheartened. The foods she had brought for Ume to taste were thrown aside by her as she slumped on the ground. It was not Elena's first time losing someone close to her and nor it would be her last but this never got easier. Especially after knowing how horrific her condition was.

She remembered how this girl had looked at her with a vacant look as if she had no intention of staying alive. She remembered how she slowly started to smile again and how good Elena felt when she was able to make her do so. Elena also remembered the happy look on her face whenever she ate anything sweet. She loved sweets and for that reason Elena had brought some honey doughs for her that she loved. But now that person was no longer there to taste it and thank Elena with a big smile on her face.

She also remembered how cute the little baby was. He would use his cute little hands to hold onto Elena's fingers and would look extremely endearing in that state. He would also always smile when Elena poked his chicks and he many times fell asleep while getting carried by her. Elena loved this little cutie and now he was gone, forever.

Elena then saw one of the sweets that she brought for Ume lying beside her. She suddenly felt an extreme bout of anger and punched it with her all. A large hole was created on the ground and that sweet completely disappeared.

That action did nothing to lessen her anger and pain. Instead she became more angry. She was angry at the organisation responsible for this. She was angry at the citizens who participated in this. She was even angry at the world for giving this innocent girl such a horrific destiny. But she was most angry at her own self for not being able to save her.

Elena mocked herself. After saving many people and after getting praised by many, somehow she had started thinking of herself as a hero. Heh, what a great hero she was who was not capable enough to even save the life of a close one.

Elena created a fist and punched herself on her stomach with full force. She coughed up blood but her pain, sadness and regret did not lessen at all. So self harming was not the answer huh. Tears fell from her eyes and she curled herself up. She felt very weak and helpless.

But at the same time, fury and determination burned fiercely in her heart. As she tasted the blood in her mouth, it only grew brighter. Her wish to not let something like this to happen again became stronger and stronger. So much so that it exceeded a certain threshold.

[You have learned the skill "Unbounded Fate".]

[Now you're eligible to learn and use the concept magic of Fate.]

This would normally be a very good news for Elena. Having the ability or use a concept magic was a very big deal. But she felt absolutely nothing. That night a bloodied and tear soaked Elena was able to finally understand her true self. She was not a hero or savior. She was just a normal girl who wanted to survive and also to help others survive as well.

...

Even though at that time Elena was quite strong, she was not comparable if compared to the truly powerful and famous people of this world. So there were very few people who knew about her.

But that was not the case anymore. Now the whole world suddenly learned about her name. As for her reputation, it was mixed. She became well known for being both famous and infamous at the same time. But there was one thing that everyone agreed after learning about Elena. And that was the fact that she was scary.

Suddenly one day a new spread that one of the big welfare organisations called the "Heaven's Grace" was destroyed in a city. Many of the citizens and general followers of this organisation were also killed and all of that was done in a very brutal way. The person who was responsible for all these was a beautiful looking girl who was a not very known green grade adventurer.

Heaven's Grace was a big and powerful organisation with many branches and many powerhouses in it. The people had expected this girl to suddenly vanish for being so foolish. But everyone was shaken when the whole Heaven's Grace organisation was destroyed which included its leader who was a level 800 plus powerhouse. His death was truly astonishing.

But that was not the end of this incident but just the beginning. After the destruction of Heaven's Grace, this same girl started attacking more organisations like the Heaven's Grace. She would attack them and would kill some of the people then she would drop a note about their crimes and would leave just as silently as she came.

Just like that Elena destroyed over 100 such organisations who were scamming people in this critical time. In this time she also defeated one of the powerful generals of the Destroyer so her reputation grew. Just like that suddenly in just a few months Elena went from being a somewhat well known adventurer of a few areas to becoming one of the household names everyone knew about.

But at that same time, she was also given titles like "Greatest Evil" and "Absolute Sinner". She had destroyed many cities and even had killed a lot of people. She was like the incarnation of a devil for many so obviously they would give her titles like that. But did Elena cared ? No she did not. Now that she knew what she wanted to do, she just focused on doing so and getting as strong as possible.

...

As Elena reminisced about these memories a few drops of tears started to flow from her eyes. She took out a jar of honey and poured a little of it inside her mouth. Then she poured the rest of the honey on the desert while remembering about her dear friend Ume.

With this she had once again become calm. She was never going to get rid of this anger. This was the proof of her bond with a long lost friend she would never be able to get back. But in her memories and feelings she would live on until Elena ceased to exist.
