About

When humanity first formed contracts with eldritch beings from the other side of reality to gain sorcery, the first thing they did was destroy the world. The second, was make a new one. Scarred by the murder of her father, Nadia intends to die avenging him, beginning a journey that will require her to form a contract with a goddess of a razed court, and join an order of the greatest killers in the world.  But when allies become lovers, Nadia's new reasons to live compete against her desire to die, leaving her with a choice to make: give up on vengeance or see her quest to its bloody end. . .even if it means cutting a path through the ones who love her. Expect: - concept-based magic for tactical puzzle fights  - cultivation system favoring broad mastery over high-speed climbing - a protag that loves to "limit test" and cut loose to everyone's horror and frustration - toxic yuri (aka messed up lesbians) - strange and eldritch summons that can be surprisingly personable - emotions so many emotions - thick story rich chapters that reward attentiveness Updates are: Wednesday. Sometimes other days for extra fun reasons. Chapters average around 3.5k words (these are some meaty boys!) Cover by toboldlymuppet
