The Weight of Legacy

The Weight of Legacy
SUMMARY
An elderly family historian with a poorly-suppressed penchant for violence meets a tragic end when the spaceship she takes to the Moon explodes, and so Malwine is born (reborn?), ready to once again become everybody else’s problem. Her new world is full of bloodline-based abilities and mana cultivation alike, so she’s bound to have a fun time. The system’s even given her some juicy Skills that reward her usual probing!
If only she hadn’t reincarnated into a world half-buried under the waves after the last Emperor yelled at the Heavens a bit too loudly, with no document repositories in sight.
Watch as Malwine’s dubious dreams of using the knowledge from her once-long lifespan to her advantage, becoming a powerful mana wielder, and reclaiming her new ancestors’ Legacies, clash with being born cursed, surviving the ever-growing fallout of her new grandfather being a murderhobo, and avoiding the strange grudge-holding smiters who live in the “sky”.
At least she’s leveling up fast! Ignore the -99% stat debuff, Malwine! You can also read this novel here: Read free novels online
