They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 485: How Embarrassing!

"This is your chance to explore what truly speaks to you."

Nnenna closed her eyes and went silent, letting the system’s words settle.

Her mind drifted, reaching back, first to the streets of Lionara, the energy and passion there. Then to the crew she had performed with in the market, how their moves had captured the crowd’s attention... and later during the royal celebration, how she herself had joined in, moving freely, confidently, like the stage was hers.

Those moments weren’t random. They meant something.

She opened her eyes slowly.

"You know... I keep thinking I need to pick something big," she said aloud, more to herself. "Something shocking. Something that would wow people. And dancing always felt too simple... too ordinary."

But even as she said it, a small smile played on her lips.

"Yet no matter how much I push it aside, dancing keeps coming back to me. Maybe it’s not plain. Maybe it’s me. And maybe... it’s time I explore it properly."

"Exactly," the love system replied, sounding almost proud. "You don’t have to worry about what anyone else thinks. What matters most is choosing what’s best for you. At the end of the day, it’s your life. You’re the one who has to live with your decisions. And as long as what you’re doing isn’t wrong or harmful, then it’s okay. You shouldn’t feel guilty just because someone else might not understand."

Nnenna nodded slowly, feeling the words sink in like warm sunlight on cold skin. For the first time in a while, she felt less pressure, like maybe she really was allowed to choose for herself.

"Now that we’ve locked down the first talent," the love system continued, "what about the second one?"

Nnenna paused, her fingers tapping lightly against her leg as she thought. Then, a memory sparked, something Carl had mentioned that day she talked about skipping years. His voice echoed in her head.
