Introduction
Sheera the mermaid finally becomes human after being released from captivity for 80 years in search of her true love, Ethan Skulz, a British Naval Soldier who she saved during the second world war. Their relationship causes disaster and destruction for the mermaids as humans begin to hunt and slaughter them viciously who are considered to be the bringers of havoc.
Armed with a pendant with an emerald gem that she gave to Ethan before parting, Sheera hopes to meet her lover. But her life as a human actually brought her into a much bigger conflict. She must live as a servant in a luxurious mansion owned by Nathan Schumacher, a mysterious man from Planet Theos who is on a secret mission to Earth.
Sheera also has to get involved in the conflict of the Elf kingdom, where she gets to know Jacob, the crown prince who falls in love with Julia, an ordinary human who keeps Ethan's emerald gem pendant. There is also Keith, a lonely werewolf who becomes a mate on her new journey.
I'm Sheera, they say I'm a trouble maker. We were cruelly murdered by humans just because Ethan and I loved each other.
I waited 80 years to be reunited with Ethan, the love of my life. I thought life as a human would be much better. But in the human world, I experienced so many bad things as well as good things, including meeting Nathan Schumacher, my master who let me live in his luxurious house and Keith, an annoying man who always helped me whenever I was in trouble.
Can I see Ethan again? Or, should I give up and return to the deep ocean, a place where I will be forgotten?
Chapter 1
I looked at the sky which was getting darker, I started to doubt even though Lioti's potion was already in my hand. I had swam this far and returned to the place where Ethan and I parted ways.
A bay surrounded by lush trees, but I think this place is a little different. It used to feel like it was surrounded by a very dense forest. I shuddered, the memory of what happened 80 years ago made me start to doubt my intentions.
"Meria, I haven't even told her that I managed to get Lioti's potion. What if he looks for me and doesn't find me anywhere?" I think. Lioti had told me not to tell anyone about this.
Lioti is a seabed witch who is thought to be a slave to the demon king of the seas, Leviathan. Because of that, all the inhabitants of the ocean cursed her existence.
I have no choice, if I want to be human then I have to leave my life as a mermaid forever. My eyes turned to the sky, I saw millions of stars sparkling in the sky. Beauty that captivates my eyes. It's been a long time since I last saw the stars in the sky and the most beautiful memories I have are seeing them with Ethan.
"Ethan, wherever you are, I will definitely find you. I hope you remember me!"
I opened the cap of the potion bottle, my hands were shaking, I didn't know if this potion would really turn me into a human. I knew that I didn't know any other humans besides Ethan and it would be very difficult for me to adapt in the new world. But surviving in the sea and trying to blend in with other mermaids is also not easy. Their hatred towards me was too great and even though I had received punishment, it would never be enough to pay for my sins.
Above the sky, a flying object passed very quickly. I saw with my sharp eyes, a flying object.
"Iron bird? But why doesn't it have wings? Has it changed now?" I think. What I witnessed forced me to postpone the wish I was about to make come true.
I started drinking the potion with my eyes closed, my heart praying that one day I could meet Ethan again, someone I really love.
"Oh Leviathan, ruler of the seas, lend me your strength. Give me a pair of human legs to walk on. In exchange, I will give you my soul to you after I die!"
I opened my eyes and saw the ocean around me. The sun was shining above my head, I didn't feel anything and when I tried to observe myself, I realized that nothing was happening to me. I still have fins, not legs.
"No! This is impossible! Nothing happened to me, how is that possible? I already cast my spell and wish as Lioti said. But why-"
"What are you doing there?"
Someone was talking to me, I flinched and immediately turned to the source of the sound. On the white sand of the beach, a man looked at me with a very cold face. He was tall, his hair and eyes were as black as the night sky. My body couldn't move, the man walked towards me with a very terrifying murderous gaze.
I just realized that I was too close to land and if I tried to swim deeper, it might be a little difficult considering that guy seemed to have bad intentions. In his hand, he held a black object, slightly similar to the weapons some humans had used in the past when trying to capture and kill merfolk.
I started to get scared, I thought this human might kill me because he saw my form which was considered to bring disaster.
"It turns out to be just a weak little monster. You really disgust me! After everything was destroyed, it turns out that even in a place like this there are still guards. How about I just end it now?" He said while pointing the gun right at my head.
My body was really weak, I couldn't move my body at all. I realized that this human wanted to kill me with that weapon. I panicked, I didn't want to die before I met Ethan.
"Ethan, help me!" I muttered with tears flowing from my eyes. This man gasped, he seemed surprised to hear me talking like a human and calling a name.
“Ethan?”
"Ethan, help me...! Ethan...!"
Bang...
In the expanse of the blue sea
You see happy memories
True love story...
The ocean is the most beautiful grave
A place where you can rest in peace
Forget your sadness and close your eyes
You will see the world ahead waiting for you in eternity...
"You heard it, didn't you? The mermaid song?"
"Yes, a very sad song. I can feel it. They are poor creatures!"
I opened my eyes slowly, I could hear a woman's voice talking near me. My eyes caught the sparkling ceiling. I raised my head, trying to look around me.
The walls and pillars are white combined with silver and gold, which looks very majestic and charming. For a moment, I thought that I was dead. But realizing something had happened to me, I was shocked.
“W-what is this? Foot?" I was shocked to see a pair of human legs inside my body. My fins disappeared without a trace.
I tried to digest what really happened, I was sure that I died at the hands of the man who shot me in the head. But if I'm dead, why am I in a place like this?
"Is this the so-called kingdom of the sky?" I think. The only answer that came to mind was that I was somewhere in the sky, a place where the souls of all dead creatures were resurrected and lived happily ever after.
Two women opened the door and walked over to me who was still sitting confused on the bed. The two women had long white hair, very white skin, pointed ear tips, blue eyes and they looked very beautiful.
They wore white dresses with gold decorations on their chests and under their dresses. They came carrying a tray containing a plate of food and a cup of fresh milk.
"Thank God you're awake. How are you?" Asked one of the two women.
"M-me?"
"Yes!"
“Am I dead? Am I in the kingdom of sky?” I asked in confusion. The two women smiled almost laughing.
“You are alive, Young Lady! You are currently at the residence of His Majesty Athanati Aionios!”
"Your Majesty? Who?"
"Sorry, we can't tell you! It was His Majesty Illios Aionios who brought you to this palace. Therefore, you can ask His Majesty!"
"Illios? Who is he?" I thought. Those names sounded very foreign to me. But when they said that it was someone named Illios Aionios who brought me to this place, it made me suspect that this man might be the same person I met on the beach.
Knock…knock…knock…
There was a soft knock on the door and it seemed like a code made the two women rush over.
“It seems His Majesty Illios came to see how you are doing, then, excuse me! We've put food on the table, please eat!” They said before leaving.
"T-thank you-" My sentence was cut off when a man entered the room with the exact same appearance as the two women.
White skin, white hair, blue eyes, and pointy ears. The man smiled gently at me, his face was so beautiful it was hard to put into words.
"How are you? Do you feel better?” The man asked. The beauty of his face was so enchanting that I could barely blink.
"W-who are you?"
"I'm Illios, but you can call me Jacob. I found you collapsed on the beach that's why I brought you here. Sorry, you must feel very confused, right?"
"N-nothing! I-I just-" I stuttered. I still can't understand what happened to me. The man in front of me was not the man I had seen on the seashore, their faces and appearances were clearly very different.
This is the world I wanted to come to, but I was a little unexpected that I would start my new life as a human with something unexpected.
"May I know your name?"
“N-my name is Sheera. Yes, S-Sheera!”
"Sheera? What a beautiful name. Don't be afraid, Sheera! I have no bad intentions towards you. I just want to help you."
"T-thank You."

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
