Erica Moore was offered the chance of staying herself during her next life, but decided that an unknown cost was too high a price to pay. In trying to get some peace from Faustian bargains, she accidentally got herself stuck outside the normal cycle of reincarnation.
Aided by an eccentric gardener-goddess and armed with lifetime of stories, Erica will have to earn each new life. She will need to navigate identity as each new life changes her, and if she wants an overpowered reincarnator cheat ability, she will need to build it herself.
So far, Erica has been two people:
Erica (Nulla): A prologue!
Nia (1): The Gutter Empress and her Patchwork Princess
Nia is the bastard daughter of the lord of her city. She is the youngest servant in his house, but she knows one of his secrets: In a well-furnished attic room, the last surviving Imperial Princess is hidden away. Nia knows just what the princess needs - a friend! Can their friendship survive the pressures that their different lives will place upon them?
The concept for this story was influenced by Vladerag’s The Many Lives of Cadence Lee, QuietValerie’s Ryn of Avonside, and the relentless stream of new worlds that my brain dumps on me.
I hope you enjoy, and thank you for reading!
