She is summoned from her small town to the capital, where the king tells her that she's the new hero. She can evaporate water? Or heat up water? Everyone thinks she is useless, no one can figure out what her power can do.The king sends her back to her village, saying that she can live out her life. MC is sad that she's failed as a hero, but she was nervous about the adventuring, and is happy to be surrounded by her loving family and village - the castle was filled with scary/powerful/strict people, and she was uncomfortable there. She wakes up to find that soldiers are massacring every villager - she sees the soldiers burning the corpses of her sister and mother, maybe? She tries to escape into the snowy forest, but is tracked down by smart trackers, (maybe dogs?), maybe her footsteps in the snow. She causes a mass evaporation of a bunch of snow on a hillside, traps the soldiers in an avalanche, and starts to kill soldiers by doing stuff like boiling their eyeballs up. In following chapters, she goes to the capital, and tries to immediately kill the king. She is VERY suspicious, wandering around in a hooded cloak, in front of this noble's house. Another female assassin grabs her, and tells her how conspicuous she is, waiting out front, and that she, by trying to kill this noble, is going to ruin THEIR plan to murder him. The assassin offers MC a part in the killing, and she agrees. MC is snuck into the house, and I think finds him before the other assassin? OR maybe the assassin already has him tied up. MC does some eyeball stuff, or boils the blood in his arms or something.
