'Painful… painful… painful… I won't give up… I won't give up… not before them… I will not lose again.'These were Ellen's thoughts.
Ellen Asterval… the princess of this empire.
A person born at the highest station in this world—money, resources, authority… everything had been granted to her since childhood.
All of it was supposed to place her at the very top.
When Ellen first came to the Axis to take the admission test, she believed without a doubt that she would claim first place.
She knew she was strong… very strong. That wasn't arrogance—it was simply a fact.
But in the end, it became clear that being very strong alone was not enough.
Even after failing to secure first place in the admission test, she didn't despair.
Instead, she trained more… harsher… harder.
She believed she could close the gap and rise to the top.
But no matter what she did, the summit never seemed closer—and if anything changed, it only grew farther away.
