Pursuit Of Wonder

How many years would one get for using less-than-holy means to rob a nun of her purity? That’s the exact question plaguing Ronan as he finds himself in a rather compromising situation with a bound and helpless nun, Aurelia—the future Saintess of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

But Ron has no intention of following the game’s bleak script. With Aurelia glaring daggers at him and her fiancé, Herman, leading an army of knights to storm the cult’s hideout, Ronan is given a choice by a sudden system: Succumb to fate, destroy Aurelia’s spirit, and die as an unsung hero. Or... Defy destiny, survive the impossible, and forge a new path.

Hello, everyone. If you're reading this, you may have read my other stories. I'm starting this one as a bit of a "getting back into it" story. (The synopsis will be further down) Both stories I've written will continue in the near future. (I have to re-read them because I've experienced a massive bout of memory loss.) Apologies for those of you waiting, but I had unavoidable circumstances that impeded my writing experiences. The cover isn't mine but it's been lightly photoshopped. If you want it taken down, tell me. (Signed by Author on April 25th, 2023) Anyways, time for the synopsis: Lia was a simple girl in her previous life. Well not really, considering she was the hit woman for the largest mafia organization that operated within the United States. Over the years, her exceedingly high kill count, and overall success rate was something to be afraid of. Her personality was something akin to pure confidence, bordering on arrogance. She dealt with people the same way she did her enemies. By ruining their lives in the most horrific ways. IE: Setting them up for FBI investigations, having their houses repossessed by the government, or even having them framed for a serious crime. Lia was someone that no one wanted to ever cross. If you did cross her, you might as well have signed your own death certificate! That was until she was smacked in the head by a falling piano. While following through on a hit, no less! I mean, come on! A piano?! that's unfathomably crazy. Well, despite getting hit by a literal piano, she still managed to finish the job. But the very next day, she choked on a sandwich and nearly died! Her luck seemed to have literally bottomed out. This "streak of bad luck" had continued in her life for years! Literal years! She had come so close to dying so many times that she was genuinely confused as to how this could happen to someone! From falling down a flight of stairs to nearly breaking her neck during a cartwheel (despite having so much experience that she could do them with her eyes closed.) Lia had experienced so many near-death experiences that she had become entirely immune to the weird circumstances happening around her. Eventually, the bad luck did catch her. She was minding her own business, walking through the streets of Seattle when a coin rolled across the ground and tripped someone else, who dropped an umbrella, which she tripped over. Her fall had her land directly into the flow of moving traffic. She was then hit by a small square-body pickup truck. It had a small sticker of a smug smiling face attached to its front bumper. Lia had died because of what was essentially a coin. A coin had actually managed to kill a human being. Not just any human, but one of the most feared people within the US. Warnings for all readers: -This novel will (at some point) contain lesbian sex scenes. -System tag doesn't mean in the most literal way. (you'll find out more if you read it.) -This may become a Yuri harem novel (haven't decided.) -Will contain very strong LGBTQ+ themes

The druids stand in front of a wheat field several meters high, and the fish-people chase the fish in the fishing grounds; A magic train with an inscription glittered across the plain, and the sound of multiplying the chanting of the multiphana rang rang out from the academy; Oglim and the child sat on the tentacles of the Children of Darkness, swinging and counting the numbers; Dwarves and elves clink glasses, and devils and priests shoulder to shoulder; The gods chased and frolicked in the streets, and the indescribable things at the wine table talked merrily; Men and women in magical images
