Abused, neglected, bullied, and ostracized, thirteen-year-old Noah Morillo lived life awaiting his own death. In an instance of bullying pushed too far, he winds up dead.

In death, he arrives before the mysterious Goddess of Foxes. From the dubious lips of the Goddess befalls an offer: Reincarnation or Resurrection? Resurrection offers the nascent power of the Goddess's blessing, and the [Trickster] class. But every miracle has its price, and to cultivate that nascence, he must forsake his morality, tasked with a mission to cull his own kind.

Desperate for life, the newly reborn fox-kin is thrust onto a bleak and dark path of isolation and violence. But in the misguided pursuit of life, newfound guidance, friendship, family, and perspective end up being the saving grace that ushers him toward true living. Can the young fox navigate a life where he must slaughter his own kind to ascend without becoming one of the monsters he despises in the process?

This story is:

—Grimdark (All of the warnings.)

—Weak to strong

—A coming of age story

—Neutral to villainous to anti-hero (The MC falls from grace for a moment at the beginning. The beginning of the story is the darkest it will ever be and the tone brightens over time.)

—Mostly about character interactions, character psychology, and character growth. Some arcs are more action-oriented than others.
