The Forsaken Sovereign

"The veil of sanity is a lie we tell ourselves when we gaze at the night sky, hoping, in a stifled corner of our mind, that the stars aren't gazing back." — A nameless, insignificant, yet ambitious young man once attempted to rescue his family from poverty. But as he found hope, he also stumbled upon despair. After losing everything to the darkness of death, including himself, he woke up in another world, stuck in the body of an eleven-year-old boy with a peculiar appearance. He soon discovered that he was a Celestial Offering—a holy sacrifice, carefully groomed by the Temple of Stars to be given to the Gods Beyond. His fate had already been sealed, for his blood would spill under the seven-pointed star and consecrate the birth of a new era for his nation. Armed with nothing but his wit and the trail of good fortune, he would attempt to challenge this destiny, braving the countless hurdles that lay in waiting and the unfathomable horrors they harbored. In a realm of magecraft, occult rituals, madness, and prowling Eidolons, he could only count on himself to survive, as the threat of insanity loomed over everyone equally, and nothing could slow its ineluctable embrace. — Discord: Naphulae#1813

"You blasphemous wench!" 

Those were Lady Tsuji's first words as she escaped the spell-induced daze, her wits blurred as she thought she was still facing the enemy. 

Daylight struck her with a blinding sheen, forcing her to narrow her eyes while she inspected the surroundings. 

Before glimpsing Meilyr, she saw Icilia, Harpax, and Gessius, prompting her to brandish her pewter staff and flare her Mana. "Ando! I'll hold them off. Get the children and flee!" 

"Uh... phrasing, my Lady." Ando could barely focus, strained by the lack of rest and the stasis aftereffects. "Why are we running again?" 

"What do you mean, why are we running? Can't you see that murderous harlot standing right there—" Her voice gradually trailed as she realized Meilyr and Gal were also present, clearing away the fog in her mind. It didn't take long for her to connect the dots. 

"A surprising ally you've picked there," she mused.
