## Synopsis

Claire Martino has a fairy-tale life anyone would envy, with a noble upbringing, a crown prince for a fiancé, and a promising future ahead of her as Noston's most powerful mage. That is, until everything crashes down around her when all of the family magical talent goes to her half sister, Charlotte, instead. With her engagement broken and reputation tarnished, Claire flees the only life she's ever known and sets off on an adventure to find the freedom she's craved all along. It's anything but easy, but fortunately for a girl with dignity, talent, and a whole lot of bravery, nothing is impossible...even turning out to be a video game character! Much to her surprise, Claire finds herself periodically teleported to modern-day Tokyo where Claire Martino is no more than a side character in the classic dating sim game Upstart: Eternal Love. Yet even that won't stop Claire from saving the day so she can unlock the good ending of her own route.

## Trivia

* Charlotte is vaguely aware she is the otome heroine, so she thinks the world exists for her. She thought Claire's genuine love and protection was pity, which made Charlotte hate her. So she used her magic to brainwash everyone close to Claire to get close to the prince.
* Claire is descended from the destroyed Lindell kingdom. The Meade noble family from the country of Pattuo is responsible for killing her mother, to keep their involvement with destroying Lindell a secret; not caring if they are wrong. They are attempting to kill Claire because her magic is too powerful; she can repel their attempts to gain power.
* The story cuts off right as Claire meets Vic again in the past. Thus leaving the unresolved issue of the young lord Meade who was pulled back into the past with her, due to having his magic linked to her in a backfired attempt to destroy her magic.
