Lauvil's manga / #Magic(34)

Adele can read people's emotions and is great at gambling. So great that it's her primary profession. In order to sustain that life without drawing too much attention, she uses magic necklaces to disguise herself and changes her identity. One day she has an exceptionally lucky say until she bumps into a scared boy, running for his life from an evil woman who's trying to kill him. She saves the boy (and his magical powers then saves them both) and afterwards offers him a home with her. However, they have barely begun their new life together when an unfortunate accident seperates them. Adele traded some gambling chips for a magic ring, because the ring's original owner was being persistent and desperate, and she didn't want to garner attention. However, the magic ring was defect and ended up sending her 10 years into the future. Now she is desperately trying to find Ed again and to do so, she is entering a gambling tournament aboard a big yacht. Unbeknownst to her, Ed is also searching for her and is the host of that same event.

MC was living a tough life after her parents and grandma died, living with her abusive uncle and his bullying daughter. While those two are arguing they are suddenly summoned to another world, who need a "Goddess of Light" to save them from some demons or something. They only meant to summon one person, but got two. Therefore, when the cousin has her affinity checked and the orb glows, the summoners don't even bother checking the MC's affinity - thus obviously missing that mc-girl is the real Goddess of Light. But we all know where that plot line is going at this point. MC can't be sent back to her world, so she is sent to the Second Order of Knights to work, while her cousin goes to stay at the crown prince's castle to live in luxury. Obviously. Bc when you summon someone - ripping them permanently from the world they knew and the people they love - if you can't use them, you discard them like the unwanted burden they are. (Come one, ppl. Fucking take responsibility better than this). Lucky for her, the place she's sent to, despite being humble conditions, suit her very well. The people are nice, she gets to work in community kitchen (which she seems to love) and as a bonus: There's a hot, cool, kind knight who's about to fall in love with her. This story reminds me soooooo much of another manga I've read. I really liked that one, so the premise of the story is something I enjoy reading. It just isn't the same, though, when it's the second time you read the same plot. There are also some minor details that bother me - details that the 'original' either didn't have or it resolved in a more satisfying manner. So, I'll probably read it till the end, but I don't expect a lot from the story. Got bored waiting in-between chapters. I'll just drop it.
