The hero becomes the villainess or not chapter 4- dungeon diving and desire

This chapter will get into Katerina's last moment of peace before she has to face.

She will get her first chance to level up as well as learn about the existence of a certain book in her new life

I will mainly focus on episodes 7-8 with a few major twists for the setting and bringing in new elements. But I will get into that as I get into the chapter.

Sophia pov

it was one night I had a dream that I was a different person, and I became friends with a girl named Mashiro. I remember her being my first friend and that friendship lasted until she died suddenly in an explosion. I remembered my former name was Atsuko Sasaki and figured out that Katerina had undergone some kind of change and that Katerina was also likely my former friend Mashiro reborn and that this world was very much like the game fortune lover but with too many little things different to be the exact same. I could only guess that Maria ending up with my brother wouldn't cause the same issues as it would in the game. but the factor of demons and hero was the most worrying. I knew in the coming exam I should raise my stat and skill levels.

Katerina pov

It was the day before my exam and while working in the field, I met Sophia and discovered she had likely recovered her memories from our old world as well. but I would let her tell me what she remembered when the time was right. I had shown her all the new crops I was experimenting with and knew all these could help the family lands as well as help with the production of cosmetics. It was then I worked in the lab until the other minds reminded to study for the coming exam and that it would be my first chance to level up and advancing to the next grade would make it easier for me to survive and keep up with the other students.

When it came to the day of exams, I learned my class was doing their practical in a maze while the class the other reincarnations were in was doing an exam in the field. I worried more about how their exam would go than ours. Hugo seemed to have a real chip on his shoulder and may try and attack all over again. I also learned Shun's pet dragon was also a reincarnation and during their last exam gained a status known as taboo level 1 and what it would mean to max taboo out. I knew Katerina's path of doom and the likelihood of the demons getting closer to the school or Hugo trying something again could be anytime now.

I was pretty sure I wouldn't end up having an issue finding what we needed to pass the exam. The team was my fiancé, my brother, Sophia, and I. I just said, "try and kill anything you can, leveling up will prepare us in case the demons invade." But my fiancé and brother fought until I accidentally set off a few traps. But with the help of Sophia, we were able to get to the next part of the test and ran into a pond with a monster that we all teamed up to kill to share in the exp. It wasn't long after that, I flew into another trap and ended up finding both mushrooms to eat and the stone I needed to pass the test. It was as I was about to fall, I was helped by Sophia and she revealed that she had fully recovered her memories of the past as I revealed that my body was hard enough to survive a fall like that.

It was after that test, and I had to study for the written exam and was struggling a little so decided to train to clear my mind. It was after said training that I asked Mary to help me study, but she wasn't the best student either, so we ended up getting help from the student council president. Then he suggested going to the library in the east building. But as we met friends on the way there, I ended up forcing them into a study session to help. But as soon as Maria and Mary left, I opened a book to see a mirror that seemed familiar to me. it was then I summoned a servant of a darker alternate path to try and help solve this problem as I was swallowed by light. It was then I bounced through dreams of the desires of my friends and how much they liked me more than a friend. But it was when my inner desire for food and the servant Emiya Alter met both ended up freeing us from the book as Emiya alter said to me "the only reason you were able to be trapped was due to the mirror of Nitocris and your connection to the original book. It was here and left pages in these other books but somebody else has it now." He then vanished while holding the pages and they dropped to the ground.

It was then I forced my friends to talk about the book and they all said a book and how it has been in this library for many years. It was after that we all began to study as I hoped we could all get through the coming test. But I also wondered who exactly had Al's book and if they could use all the magic tied to my former self left within it.
