Disclaimers:
- Short story. Story ends after climax event. ~60k words. 10 Chapters. Character focused. Lore-light.
- Since this is a short story, the setting and world will only be fleshed out to the extent needed by the characters, and so the world is not meant to be particularly immersive. For this work, immersion is driven by the characters. That said, I will fix any inconsistencies as I become aware of them, and the same goes for grammar and typos.
- The narration is technically in 3rd person, or close third, but the script is mostly the characters self narrating or dialogue with some inner thoughts in italics.
- Content warnings: This story has some R18 content (<5k words), lots of Strong Language, and a very small amount of Gore.
- The story is undergoing proof reading. Current progress is 9 of 9 chapters complete. Chapter 10 will be posted after proof reading is complete. <<less

This is actually a complete remake of my original book by the same name. I've made major changes to the entire story and every character. As I am still attending college, I have only so much time to work on this, but progress is certainly being made. I estimate the book will be anywhere from 80k to 120k words by the end. If you have any feedback you wish to give, or suggestions to make, please do not hesitate. I welcome all criticism, but I don't take everything too seriously so don't feel as though you may offend me by pointing something out. Growth is only achieved by improving where one is lacking, after all. <<less
