The Weight of Legacy Novel

"The Weight of Legacy" by FauxPraetor chronicles the rebirth of Malwine, an elderly family historian with a violent streak, after her spaceship to the Moon explodes. She finds herself in a new world where bloodline abilities and mana cultivation are commonplace. The system has even granted her Skills that suit her inquisitive nature. However, Malwine's reincarnation is complicated by her new world being partially submerged due to a cataclysmic event, and the absence of any documented history. Malwine harbors ambitions of using her past life's knowledge to become a powerful mana wielder and reclaim her ancestors' Legacies. These aspirations are immediately challenged by a curse she's born with, the chaotic fallout from her grandfather's violent nature, and enigmatic "sky" dwellers with grudges. Despite a significant stat debuff, Malwine is rapidly leveling up. The story features a protagonist whose self-esteem lags behind her new circumstances, a progression from "nerfed" to strong, and perspective shifts from those affected by her cursed reincarnation. Expect LitRPG elements with leveling, Skills, Classes, and loose cultivation, alongside comedy stemming from an anachronistic world and outlandish plot arcs. Malwine begins as an infant but will not remain so indefinitely. The premise explores the often-unexplained power of bloodlines in progression fantasy.
