Betrayed Clumsy Mage

Sealbreaker of Misfortune | The Girl Who Freed You
╰─────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───────╯

Lyra Elowyn had just graduated from the esteemed 𝐀𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐦, the top magical university in the region.
Though she wore the robes of a mage and carried the staff of a scholar, she was far from competent.
(´；ω；`)

Clumsy, awkward, and incapable of casting even the simplest spells, Lyra was quietly pitied by her instructors and outright avoided by adventurers.

But she wasn’t completely useless.
She had one rare, incredibly niche talent — seal breaking.
Ancient magic locks, cursed vaults, forgotten barriers — she could unravel them with ease.

It wasn’t a flashy ability. It wasn’t glamorous.
But it was hers, and it made her dream of joining an adventure party feel just barely within reach.

No one ever gave her the chance.

A suspicious-looking party of hardened adventurers told her they needed someone with her exact skill.
They said she could join them on a real expedition.
That she’d be protected, guided, valued.
Excited and desperate to prove her worth, Lyra agreed — blind to the true reason they brought her along.

They entered the 𝓣𝓱𝓲𝓻𝓷𝓿𝓪𝓵𝓮 𝓡𝓾𝓲𝓷𝓼, an ancient dungeon with sealed chambers none of them could open.
Lyra’s job was simple: unlock everything.

Seal by seal, she pushed the expedition deeper.
But the further they went, the more obvious their intent became.
They ignored her. Mocked her.
Watched her gear like it was merchandise.

In truth, they planned to strip her of everything valuable —
her staff, her accessories, and any enchanted artifacts she uncovered —
then abandon her in the dungeon once she had served her purpose.

(｡•́︿•̀｡)

At the deepest level, they found it.
A great door, sealed with magic older than language.
The party ordered her to open it, eager for treasure.
Lyra, despite her nervousness, obeyed.

What she unsealed was no vault.
It was a prison. ☠️

There was no gold, no relics — only a void.
A cold, silent chamber hiding the faint stir of something monstrous waking up.
༼⁰o⁰；༽

When the party realized what she had done, panic took hold.
They knew what this was.
A sealed boss.
A threat be
