Inkbound: Naelii
**No mark. No power. No chance—until something ancient chooses her.**
A century ago, the gates split the sky and monsters poured through. The gods stayed silent. So humanity turned to ink.
Living tattoos — bound to skin, fed by soul — became our only defense. They marked the strong, chose the worthy, and shaped a new world where ink is everything. To be Inkbound is to survive. Without a mark, you’re already dead.
Naelii has no tattoo. The scan confirmed it: no power, no future. Her family disowned her. Society left her to rot.
Desperate to live, she lies her way into a low-tier raid, hoping for enough credits to eat. But inside the gate, something ancient responds. Not beast. Not ink. Not even god.
It’s older.
It’s watching.
And it remembers her.
Naelii wasn’t born Inkbound. But fate left her a different kind of mark — one no scan can detect, one no ink could contain.
And now, it wants out.
