Pathologic Ost

The Exalted

To make up for my shameful past, I have dedicated the last few years to desperate studying and working. My past. My earlier self. I have never wanted any of it. Whenever I am not doing anything productive, they come back to haunt me, as if everything I saw and every person I met reminded me of what I have done or rather, not done. This pathological life cannot continue anymore. One day, I would have had to do something about it. I don't know what. Perhaps something terrible beyond words. And then, everything changed. A turning point of my career, a dark alley, a murderer. I was reincarnated into a different world. A world imbued in 18th-19th-century culture and lifestyle. A world embroiled in wars where honor and glory were still a thing. Even if I ended up successful in my past life, I could not forget how life treated me before that. I was not able to live happily. Now it is different, I get a new life in a place where my failures have never happened. Everything in the past remains not only in the past but in a different world altogether that has nothing to do with me any longer. I have been given a second chance in life, a second chance to not commit the same mistakes I have made. A life to live for myself, for my passions. A life where I can emulate the great men of history. How cool is that? It is not every day that you get such an opportunity. Well then, why don't we see what this world has to offer? -------------------------------------------------- Cover art by みえこ mieZ Pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=1248189 Thank you very much for this breathtaking illustration!

To escape her crushing grief, she constructs a vivid, fantastical world in her mind where she possesses immense power, deceives gods, and battles for dominion over her destiny. Yet, as she immerses herself in this imagined realm, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, leading her toward a perilous path of self-destruction. Amure's life becomes an endless battle against enigmatic gods who seem to orchestrate relentless trials, her only refuge in this fabricated world where she wages a fierce war against her own despair. Her mental state deteriorates under the weight of these trials, leaving her increasingly lost in an unsettling and surreal existence. As Amure's struggles escalate, her seemingly benign cat, Rede, reveals a deeper role as a divine spy sent to monitor her behavior. With each escalating challenge from the gods, Amure's tenuous grip on reality slips further away. Yet, amidst the chaos, a glimmer of defiance surfaces, urging her to resist the forces intent on her destruction.
