<p>In a world of unknowable monsters and horrifying demigods, Raika is starting from beneath even the weakest of mortals. Raika used to be a cultivator. Truth be told, she was above average at best, and, all she's ever really had going for her is her determination and sheer grit. While she hadn't climbed very high, she'd done so without great masters, hidden talents or a chosen destiny; that is, until she pushed her luck too far and stood up to something able and willing to break her. Now crippled both in body and cultivation, Raika is left with an impossible challenge; she'll have to find a new way to gain power, a way of surviving and growing with her soul damaged, her body ruined, and her Qi organs missing. She'll have to defy the heavens, her own body, and common sense to find a way to become something new and break the people and the world who ruined her, even as that world proves itself full of far stranger, more dangerous, and more complicated things than she ever dreamed of. She will not stop until she is stronger and more horrifying than the monsters who have tried to end her, but the question of what she becomes at the end of the bloodshed remains.</p> <p>What to expect: Slowburn power progressionNo numbers, no blue boxes Expansive worldbuilding and complex story Weak to Extremely strong protagonist with a unique powersetComplex villains and heroes A raging bisexual of a protagonist Mutants, madness and mayhem, oh my! My current posting schedule is 5 days a week, excluding tuesdays and saturdays! This story is designed to add lovecraftian cosmic horror and weirdness to a Xianxia setting, and explore what it would truly mean to have a society built on esoteric powers and millennia-old emperors and sects. If you like some biohorror, self-modification, well written violence and geopolitics under the eyes of ancient, alien beings, this is the one for you, darlings!</p>
