But still...There might be some of us who surging with powerlevels to answer my curiosity, yes? Nah...Probably just gibberish.

She's saying her ABCs (well, F U Th A R K...) in Elder Futhark, the ancestral Germanic runic alphabet that formed the basis for Younger Furthark (Scandinavian runes) and Anglo-Frisian Futhorc (Old English runes).

Edit:
...and there were quite a few errors and inconsistencies which made it hard to read. See TN notes.

According to my extensive research (read: five minutes on Wikipedia), this is a transcription of the Kylver stone, a stone found in Gotland in 1903 containing the earliest known record of the runic alphabet. The discrepancies in certain runes come from the original stone.

Huh, so it is. Thanks for doing the research. This turns the whole thing into a clever reference by the author. The discrepancies on the runestone are likely caused by an inexperienced carver practicing runic script. Making it, well, basically somebody else's homework from the 5th century...

Edit: Oh and the Jeran rune is fused together, an error not present on the original runestone.
