*** My health has been very poor this year alongside loosing my mother-in-law and cat so I'm sorry but this will be rewritten and finished when I'm well, I'm doing it all offline in my rare creative moments, hopefully with a more mature touch *** [WARNING: Mature Themes (smut, violence, murder, suicide, domestic violence, etc.)] --------- Waking up naked and alone with a murderer, without a single memory, she relies on System to understand her existence in another person's body. --------- Still don't know if you should read me? Here's a quick breakdown to help you make up your mind if this novel is right for you: This is my own twist on the QuickTransmigration System genre, giving it a more 'spiritual' twist. It explores sensitive themes throughout each arc and I will do my best to give trigger warnings at the start of chapters containing them. It is written in the first person and revolves around a female lead (FL). This is a weak-to-strong novel, she will have heavy flaws and make repeated mistakes and seem generally weak at the start, bear with her as she grows. Romance is a heavy theme within the story that contains a lot of smut, with more than one character. However, there is only one male lead in the end. The story is less about fluffy romance, instead, it's a journey of growth and self-discovery, revolving around the main storyline. Although, each Arc will have its own separate storyline that will have an impact on the main storyline with both new and reoccurring characters (so skipping arcs is not advised). I have currently written the rough drafts for four arcs at the point of writing this: 1. Ghosts & Guns 2. How do you keep a child alive in the Zombie Apocalypse? 3. Abducted by Aliens 4. Freed by the Fae Folk 5. .... --------- --------- Cover Art made by myself, using nightcafe AI Art, check out my page, I'm attempting to make novel art and character art for each arc: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/u/Raychbunni

Warning: This novel contains truly dark elements, including trauma, madness, and suicide. Every reader should be warned that this story is very psychologically realistic and that anyone wishing to read it must be fully prepared to accept the consequences. THE STORY Yukimiya Kobayashi, a sixteen-year-old girl with rare humility and touching naiveté, enrolls at The Trinity User, the most prestigious academy in the Republic of Sven. She expects fabulous encounters and a peaceful student life. Upon her arrival, a shapeless creature—an "impurity"—massacres several students before her very eyes. The world she thought she knew collapses. Her father then reveals her true heritage: her family are among the "Chernobyl Users," beings endowed with powers linked to their nervous system. Yukimiya must choose: flee to return to her former life, or stay and learn to control a power she doesn't understand. She decides to stay. Because Sven is not like other countries. Behind its facade of prosperity, underground political conflicts pit the Ciward council against the political council. Urban legends tell the stories of former Ciwards who died under strange circumstances. And a mysterious figure, the "Writer," seems to be manipulating events from the shadows. Very quickly, Yukimiya discovers that the danger doesn't just come from the impurities. It also comes from her own allies. From her own memories. From herself. --- THEMES A tragedy about love, memory, the fear of loving, self-loathing, and the eternal question: what meaning can one give to life when everything seems destined for destruction? --- THE TONE Dark, tragic, yet punctuated by moments of tenderness and humanity. A work that never forgets that its characters are, above all, young people confronted with horror. --- THE UNIVERSE A unique world—the Republic of Sven—where Catholicism, aristocracy, dark magic (the Chernobyls), and a gradually unveiled cosmic mythology intertwine. -- WHO IS IT FOR? For those who enjoy stories where characters suffer, change, and perhaps find peace at the end of their journey. -- Praise be to the Creator.
