Addendum on the Exclusive Patron Work!
Added 2024-05-08 18:39:35 +0000 UTCObviously no upload came around last Sunday. Admittedly didn't feel inspired by the original plan I put forward, regarding Nazarie and an academic setting, so I said screw it. I'm gonna be writing it long-term, why start with a shaky foundation? I'll be returning to an idea I cooked up forever ago for a different format and reapplying it here!
A world where everyone is gifted; the Nexus we are each born with, the very core of the soul, dictates that with which we are blessed with - a path, as unique as our own DNA. Some are born with the ability to ignite the air from their fingertips, others the ability to weave water like silk. Bianca was born with the peculiar gift to link another's Nexus of others to her own; to share her reserve of mana with them as freely as air. All it takes is a signature; a contractual agreement where one willingly submits their free will into her care, giving her total dominance over their very lives. In return, however, she must fulfill their deepest and truest desire in earnest.
It is with this power that Bianca has a simple aspiration to achieve; to lord over the underworld of Kagone. It would be nothing short of a miracle for a girl with no combat prowess of her own - the city is ran by the Five Lords; gang-rulers who operate from the shadows, controlling the industry under an iron fist through money and brute force.
How could a lone eighteen year-old girl ever hope to reach such heights, let alone overtake them?
Hopefully this is something interesting! Aiming for a somewhat bleak mega-city setting with moments of cozy reprieve in the dark with some lite litRPG elements as well. We'll see as we go along. Polls will be geared towards the development of supporting characters and the creation of new ones with plenty of room for side-story one-shots and similar fun!
Will be getting the first chapter out this coming Sunday instead, aiming to bump up the weekly wordcount to about 5k as well as I set aside weekends to work on this little project, but not trying to overpromise either.
