Wait, in the novel, everyone was supposed to keep their distance...?

*"Lovely Rosemary"
About 500 years ago, the world was divided into five regions, and a war that washed blood with blood continued for centuries.
Nations were engulfed in hellfire, and casualties mounted. Grieved by the situation, the Five Sages used their overwhelming magical talent and charisma to establish peace, finally ending the war. They made a pact to cooperate and protect the world together.
The story takes place 500 years after that "Promised Day."
The descendants of the Five Sages who saved the world were born with high authority and magical talent, striving to maintain their assigned territories and the world itself.*
*"Fire," fighting on the front lines.
"Water," providing harvest.
"Wind," enriching and enveloping the world.
"Earth," protecting the world.
And... "Darkness," dealing with those who work in the shadows to threaten the world.
This is the story of a girl reborn as the descendant of the Sage of Darkness.*
To protect the world, there are times when one must get their hands dirty. It was the duty of Guest and the other descendants of the Sage of Darkness to take on the darkness of humanity and eliminate those who threatened the nation from the shadows. Since childhood, Guest endured training akin to torture, sometimes drinking poison or breaking bones, waking up each day prepared to die by the next.
I loved Guest as my favorite character. Despite the citizens looking on with eyes full of fear rather than gratitude, and the other Sages keeping their distance, Guest was like a flower blooming in solitude.
In short... it's the story of a girl reborn as her favorite character, living her life to the fullest. Just like her idol—straightforward, noble, no matter how much she is hated.
