I Repair Cursed Heroines: The Restoration System
Adrian Voss repairs relics no licensed artificer will touch.
Born with a blank Soul Core, he has spent his life beneath Blackglass City fixing broken tools for people who can afford neither permits nor miracles. His workshop is failing, his debts are growing, and the Church considers his entire profession illegal.
Then Aveline Rooke crashes through his door carrying a shattered holy sword.
She was once the Church’s First Paladin. Now her Soul Core is broken, a divine command seal is rewriting her memories, and the Church’s recovery team is less than twelve hours away.
When Adrian touches the hidden damage beneath the sword, a forbidden interface awakens:
[Restoration Authority acquired.]
[Target can be restored.]
[Consent required.]
Adrian can repair weapons, bloodlines, dungeons, and eventually the laws that govern the world. Every restoration may create a covenant—one built on separate choices, negotiated boundaries, shared danger, and trust that can be withdrawn.
But restoration is not free. Fracture Debt transfers pain and damage into Adrian’s body. Divine attention rises with every impossible repair. And the Seven Proprietors do not forgive anyone who treats human beings as more than property.
As Aveline, Tamsin, and Mirelle reclaim their own power, Adrian must build more than a team. He must navigate stolen glances, competing claims on his time, private moments that can be stopped at any breath, and a sanctuary where desire is chosen, loyalty is tested, and nobody is owned by the person who saved them.
The gods discarded them as failures.
Adrian intends to repair them—and make the gods pay the debt.
